OpenDrop: An Open Source AirDrop Implementation

One of the limits is that you can't choose where your downloads go. Also, there are now ads on the unpaid version, which I think weren't there before.

I grew to dislike the app after running into the limits/ads. It does work, but it feels cheap and unpolished. There's no way I'd ever buy one of the pricing plans. I just don't feel like I would be getting my money's worth, especially when I could just go through a more involved solution.

Ah, okay. I'm considering buying it because it fills a certain need (transferring files easily between my iOS and Android/PC devices easily and quickly. 10€/year for something that works well, takes a minimum of tapping buttons and just doesn't get in my way, it seems worth it. But then I'm somebody who'll pay 20€ for an app if it means I "own" it and it solves whatever problem I have.

I'd probably pay 10€ outright for it if I got to own it forever, but I dislike paying for it yearly.
