Instashare, an essential app on your iPhone if you have a Mac

Once you enter the Apple ecosystem, it is very difficult to get out of it, especially when there are applications that make things so difficult for us. simple like Instashare. And that is precisely what makes everyone who buys an iPhone tends that their next computer is a Mac (if it wasn't already).

Maximum simplicity

To transfer files between the Mac and the iPhone there are very valid options such as dropbox with a dedicated folder for it or even the option of taking the files via USB (with the Image Capture app on the Mac), but of all the ones that I have tried without a doubt I will stick with Instashare, and I will proceed to explain my reasons.

The clearest reason is that the application works in an insulting way simple and fast. We will only have to drag files from the iPhone or Mac so that the transfer begins instantly and we will see how they reach the other device in a matter of seconds. Logically we cannot pretend that a film passes in the blink of an eye, but the typical thing that moves are photographs and I assure you that it goes at an amazing speed.

The other important reason for me is that it is designed very carefully. I hate that applications are not well designed, that they are not pleasant to the eye and that they do not take care of the details. Instashare does it practically in its entirety, leaving some small details such as that the Mac icon is always a MacBook although as in my case we also use a Mac Mini. The same happens with the iPhone, which despite having a white iPhone 5 in the Mac app comes out a black one.

If you don't want, don't pay

The model of free app + ads instead of the classic 0,79 (and now 0,89 after the recent upload), option that Instashare has chosen and that allows us to use the application completely free of charge, while if we want to remove the lower banner that shows the app we will have if we will have to pay those 0,89 euros mentioned above.

La mac app on the contrary, it is totally free and does not include ads, so there we will save that small expense. It is also worth mentioning that the application is universal, so we can also use it on the iPad without any problem and making a single purchase if we want it without ads.

I consider it totally essential if you have a Mac and an iPhone, and soon it seems that there will be a client for Windows, but I would not expect it very in the short term since it does not seem to be among the priorities of the developers.
