In short: A little janky but works great. Purchased a new phone last year. Since then my hotspot doesn't work with my very old kindle hdx (it only has wireless g or something). This makes it a pain to get new books while on road trips. Wifi direct isn't enabled for file sharing on my phone, bluetooth isn't enabled on the hdx (lineage os is experimental), and I ran out of options. This app cleared it up for me so I have a lifeline on the go.

This app does a great job of connecting to Wi-Fi Direct for you and allows files or folders to be sent or received fast to either device. Just make sure you don't have airplane mode turned on and make sure your Wi-Fi is on. I couldn't get Hifi | WiFi Direct File Share app to work properly on one of my devices which uses Pie. I'm glad I discovered WiFi Direct +. Just tap either | Select Files | or | Select Folder | (buttons) and follow the instructions about double tapping a folder to select it.

Tried 4.5 Gigs of pictures in folder. No progress bar. No indication of speed. No idea when it will be finished. Lost contact 3 times. Screen flashes constantly as long as small pictures are transfered. After restart, app spends ages 'flashing' through existing pictures. I gave up after 1.5 hours. I couldn't use Phone Clone for this task but just to show how WiFi Direct really works: 18Giga transfered in ca. 30 mins. Also messes up Sonys 'Album' by giving all pictures today's date. A real mess.

Thanks for your review. This is an extreem use case, and the issue is related to Android file system. To overcome it, zip it, copy the zipped file to the second device, and unzip it on the second device.
