This is a useful app for Android phones and a Windows PC but it is not a mature product.
1) When a group of files selected on a phone are being deleted, there is no indicator of progress; that is, the PC Phone Manager display does not change. At the end of the deletion, only a small window appears to indicate the number of files deleted. When this happened to me when deleting 1200 files, I tried to shut the app down as it didn't seem right that there was nothing happening.
2) Photos on the phone selected for deletion often show up again later. Very confusing.
3) Photos on the phone selected for deletion give no count of the selected items.

Just installed the program, ran the activate.exe but still on the trial version. I've deactivated my anti-virus but still no luck. Tried everything I can think of to not hamper the activation but it's a no go. I'll probably just uninstall it. Thanks GOTD.

Installed without a teeny weeny bit of problem.
Seamlessly activated and licensed without a hitch.
Where is the problem?
Save | Cancel
As the sole user of this computer, I imagine I am the administrator, and certainly there is no choice presented to me by right clicking on Activate, when in Win7 -- and you can't do that in DOS. Yet for now a total of SIX times I have tried to activate the progamme -- but it has never worked.
And some putative functions on Apowersoft's "three-day trial" that installed on my computer were a big disappointment -- like backing up WA and SMS messages. I got ONE. Not one person's set of messages -- one message. I doubt that is due to the programme being activated or not,
The programme download itself will be DE-activated in less than three hours, and I don't see that this is going to be activated in time, so I will uninstall and go back to using MoboGenie. That has certain disadvantages -- but at least it works.
Save | Cancel
Downloaded, installed and activated properly. Most features seemed to work except videos. It ran for a long time but never stopped.
I suggest that you make the vertical sliders wider. I would like to see the backup include notes. Also, is there anyway to view what is stored in the backup? The way it is, it is basically the same as iTunes backup.
Thanks for the program.

Same problem. Downloaded and installed but it continues to say it is a three day trial. Too bad, looks like it would be a useful utility.

Apart from message backup I don't see much point to this app

Warning to people who want to uninstall this application : you will need to clean up after it. The native 'uninstaller' does not remove program files, application data or the dozens of entries created in the registry.
Save | Cancel
Julia, and other, use something like Revo Uninstaller to record the install, then almost everything will be uninstalled. Some leftover might be there but will be easy to remove. Don't forget to use advanced search if Revo ask You for how deep scan it will do. Look out for removing too much.
Save | Cancel
Julia, IObit has an uninstaller that is great for removing files left behind after you uninstall a program, even entries left in the Registry. Best of all it is FREE. It has become my staple when removing unwanted software and therefore I can only recommend you and others install it.

Installed easily. Can view/export photos. Requires turning off iCloud for some functions. Didn't find any messages. Hmmm.
Save | Cancel
well, everything seems to install fine, and I can browse messages and files and pics on my phone, but when I want to start capturing the screen, a window on the PC app pops up saying I should "click START NOW" on my phone... but the only thing available on the Phone Manager app on the phone is a Disconnect button. What am I doing wrong?
Save | Cancel
Further to my above message: screen mirroring and screenshots requires USB debugging connection, doesn't work with just WiFi connection, but there is no indication anywhere of this. Had to experiment on my own to discover this.
Phone screen display on the PC is not in real-time as advertised, but rather with about a 5-second delay, and that is using the USB connection.
Cannot record screen activity into a video on Android. Apparently only on iOS.
As the reason I installed this was to capture screen activity into a video, and the Android version doesn't do that, I will probably uninstall.
Save | Cancel
Program installed OK but activation crashed Chrome. Still, program works. Not sure if active, though (whatever that means).
When it works, it does so nicely. However, it shows I have no Contacts and no Messages which is laughable. Other categories show up just fine.
So I feel mixed. I am impressed at the areas of function but baffled by the areas of non-function and not even sure if I open it tomorrow if it'll be there.

Also needs a way to both preview an image and see it's filesize.

I have downloaded and installed it okay, but after FIVE different attempts to "Activate" the programme, it stubbornly refuses to do so -- whichever way I attempt to launch the Activate.exe, even copying it to DOS and launching it from there.
Several times, uncompressing the zip file, it couldn't get the last one percent, so there was an error message. Even when that was resolved, it still wouldn't go all the way to a properly registered programme -- a frustrating waste of time.
Right now the programme is STILL a trial version. Since it seems other people have had the same problem, why don't GOTD come up with a fix, or at least a comment on what they are doing about it??
It LOOKS like a good programme, which should be very useful -- but there is no point in claiming the programme is free, when you are not given the way to make it work for more than the normal three days I imagine is given on Apowersoft's website.
We only have a few hours to "get with the programme" -- or else uninstall it. That would be a pity.

Tranmontane, activate.exe may be blocked by a firewall (it was here).
Save | Cancel
Tranmontane, There are 118 votes and only 30 comments, only 3 of which are reporting problems registering. I was able to download, install, and activate without problem as have most of the others who have commented. It appears to me that perhaps the problem is user related.
Save | Cancel
Tranmontane, what are you using to uncompress the zip file? Try another program. And run Activate.exe as Admin.
Save | Cancel
I have never understood why this tip is given- maybe it was necessary for an older OS? You shouldn't have to run activate.exe as admin, as UAC will kick in and automatically elevate it to admin for you, and therein has always been the problem with activate.exe. In fact, there needs to be a way to NOT run activate.exe as the administrator but as a standard user. By running as admin, the activation gets written to the registry of the admin account and not the standard user account. Because of this, when the user runs the program, it will appear as unregistered still. However, if you run the PROGRAM as administrator, then it should be registered.
However, this is not ideal. For those who have Windows set up securely, this means entering a password every time you run the program. Therefore, activate.exe ideally need to be rewritten to run as the standard user, perhaps elevating only for those programs like disk-management utilities that themselves require running as admin. Or how about doing like program installers do and enter the activation in all user accounts as well as the admin account? However the GOTD team goes about it, the really need to do something about this. Every time there is a giveaway that uses this method of registering a program, there are people complaining that the program is still unregistered after activating.
Save | Cancel
Tranmontane, What worked for me was after running activate.exe, I closed the program and opened it again, and it informed me it was registered to giveawayoftheday license code.

Downloaded, installed and registered with no problem on my Win7/64 laptop via Chrome. I use an Android phone, v 4.1.2. My first impression is that it's a useful program with room for improvement.
After a 1/2 hour of frustration trying to connect my phone (devs: could use more detailed instructions -- get some folks who've never done it to try while you watch), I got it connected. It would not connect via USB. Installing and running the Android app on your phone to enable USB 'automatically' just sends you to the location in your phone's settings. It does not do anything more 'automatic' than that. Turns out that option is grayed out on my phone*, so more frustration and time wasted. Finally got connected via WiFi through the QR code in the phone app.
Then I found there is different functionality between USB connection and WiFi. For example, I can't take a screenshot or view my phone's screen, which I was really looking forward to. (It looks like there are additional apps for that to download on their website.)
I like how the photos and music are preview-able in the program without a lengthy download. I was wishing for the same for the videos. With a transfer speed of 1.6 Mb/s via WiFi, a 129Mb video took >2 minutes to begin playing, the same as it took to export and save to computer. The playback through the program was jerky, stop and go; playback from the exported file was normal. No reason to attempt playback through the app.
Backup --- There are few options here, and no option for saving photos, videos or music that I could see. I would have liked to see an option for a full image backup in case of catastrophic loss of data, so the phone could be restored to its previous state, not just my contacts and messages and what-not.
So, I'm still undecided. Most of what it does I can do by simply connecting my phone to my computer directly with USB and opening it as removable storage in file explorer, although the interface of the app *is* more convenient. I'll keep using it for a while and we'll see if it's a keeper.
I was happy to see that it did not disconnect when a phone call came in (also by WiFi).
Note to devs: the word 'opened' is misspelled on the Connection Guide.
*I did manage to get USB debugging enabled, but it still wouldn't connect via USB.

Installed on windows7/64 and downloaded/installed the app from Google Play Store on my Samsung Note 4 without issue. Activation went fine.
This works quite nicely over wi-fi, better than I expected. Connection was fast and clean once I typed in the code from the phone app into the Windows program.
Versatile and FAST. Displays phone content quickly. When looking at messages, shows the last half dozen or so, but if you scroll to the top of the message pane, there's a Click To Show More area, and then it shows them all.
The backup function is a bit weird - it has checkboxes for what you want to back up, but they're all selected by default, and there's no way to unselect them. I don't need my contacts backed up, for example, but I have no choice.
And a question for the developers: Can I use this to back up my old phone, then restore to my new phone? Similar programs I've used in the past (MyPhoneExplorer, for instance) get very finicky when trying to do that...
Overall, quite satisfied with this, am going to keep it.

Unfortunately, this software requires iTunes to manage iPhones.
Save | Cancel
Big0range, that is standard for software that try to manage iPhones.
Save | Cancel
Big0range,
Actually, for iPhone, iPad, it is not complete iTunes that is needed, but the drivers for the device. They usually come with the iTunes install, but can be installed separately. If you download iTunes from Apple, the installer is actually an archive. Open with 7-zip or the like. In the folder you will find these files: "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi" and "QuickTimes.msi" . Extract both files and install them on your computer. You can search for info such as this (" install iPhone drivers without iTunes") to find video help as well.

Based on comments about "messed up" installation process I won't download. Too bad.

Installation is easy - unzip, run Setup.exe to install the app, once installed, run Activate.exe to activate it... DONE.
(if either fails - right click -> Run as administrator (and 'yes' to confirm))

Ann, Usually the people with problems are just a little unsure of how to fix normal issues. I've never had a problem installing anything as long as you follow the directions.

Only 2 problems I've encountered - 1) has to have the phone in USB debugging - so how to you get it to that point if the screen is smashed and you can't see what you are doing? 2) went to delete messages that I though had already been deleted but were still on the phone apparently - every 2 seconds the phone pops up asking if I want to use the program's message system instead of the phone's message system - annoying when you have tons of deletions to make.
Other than that, perfect for what I need - especially when pulling up clients old messages that they thought were deleted
Save | Cancel
Rob in Toronto,
Any third party solution will require your phone to be in USB Debugging Mode. You can however turn off verifying via USB.
As for the deleted messages, even though you may have deleted them from your phone, its similar to Windows where they would go into a Recycle Bin in order to be restored. You just no longer see them.
With regards to the popups, which phone are you using? With the newer Samsung models and depending on your carrier, they now offer other messaging apps. For example....a Samsung S7 and earlier models, you can highlight or place a check mark for numerous messages to be able to delete all together rather than one by one.

Jane, Many of us are not able to activate the program. I tried it on my brand new laptop, as administrator. I installed it, then clicked on the "Activate" file. Nothing changed. Shut down and restarted the program, still not activated. Same for my old Win 7 desktop.

Activating this was too frustrating and time consuming. UNINSTALLING for my sanity.
Save | Cancel
merle, I downloaded, installed and activated without problems (Win7/64 using Chrome). I did however find it a little confusing, so if you're interested in the program, don't give up. (And read the 'Read Me' - this is a little different than some others.)

Dan O, Windows 10 and no matter how many times I read the txt file, it's all up to the activate.exe which did not execute after rebooting, uninstalling, and reinstalling. It would be so much easier to just insert a code and be done.
Save | Cancel
No wonder you're frustrated. I totally agree - I wish GOTD would (could?) standardize the activation process. Don't know if that's possible, given the variety of programs and devs, but it would solve a lot of problems.
You didn't say what-all you tried, but I've found that running everything you can as Administrator solves some problems. Did you try that?
Save | Cancel
merle, here is what I do. I run setup all the way up until the last thing to do is hit the finish button. DO NOT click Finish! Leave it sit. Now run the Activate all the way. Wen Activate is completed, then I hit the Finish button for the initial set up. When the program opens and I go to About, it shows me the program as registered to giveawayofthe day. Give that a try, it works for me every time.

Angie, It finally "took!" I'm exhausted. Thanks.

Dan O, I cut my tech teeth on DOS. I'll have to find a way to compromise with Windows 10.

Angie, I also noticed after I ran the activation as administrator and went to About, it too showed me the program as registered to GOTD. In addition to that, connection by USB connected with ease to the program after I closed all the other remote programs to the phone. Give both of these connection issues a try and see if they help.

Thanks Angie, that's one tip I'm going to remember.

I installed their trial version a few days ago but uninstalled it soon. Today, I installed it through GOTD installer (activate.exe) but it is still saying to register me. Well, I must say, nowadays most of developers bring their software with a "messed-up" activation. I don't know why can't they keep it simple. We GOTD users test a lot before buying a lifetime license for the software offered here. Hence, GOTD team should see to it that the activation process is not too "messed-up".

Sapphire,
Having the same problem with activating, seems to becoming more and more of a problem these days. It would be much easier if the activation key was supplied as a .txt file instead of having to jump through lots of hoops and supply personal info. I have tried several times to get the activation to work but have given up and uninstalled.
Save | Cancel
Sapphire,
The program has to be given the opportunity to check if it is registered, in general it only does this on opening.
If you keep this in mind you will not have problems with registration.
Mine registered fine.

Victor,
Never found it necessary to put the activation.exe into the program folder; the reason being it generally writes to the registry and this can be done from anywhere.
Save | Cancel
had the same problem, said it was activated but still wanted me to register....realized you have to close the program after activating and then reopen the program to take effect...i think this applies to all other programs activated this way too. would have been simple if they stated that in the instruction more clearly...but it looks like a good program so far.
Save | Cancel
Sapphire, run a decent uninstaller like Revo to get rid of ALL of the past installation. Im sure its because it was still in the registry from your previous installation. Clean the old one out completely, reboot, reinstall, and you shouldnt have that problem.
