Switch to Windows Phone for Android
Really Microsoft, like you have to be kidding me, you're email address don't even work. Just like this app, I don't think that I would ever recommend this app at all. I have had this app open all day and it has still not loaded the WLAN ID or the password. I honestly thought that with this being a Microsoft product it would be a lot better then this.
Maybe you don't know what your doing I just recently changed a moto G into a windows phone with active cloud storage plus I had 3D graphics installed with only 8g internal over 40 apps installed plus had about 1½g left. So don't give bad revues if you don't know what your doing ÷]
stupid, cannot do anything with this application. I tried to connect to one drive it shows invalid password even I entered correct one for some many times. tried with Wifi, it never shows any wland id. that the hell Microsoft? I should not buy your phone ever again
Works exactly as stated. Just be patient. It took me two attempts to locate the direct link. But I doubt that is the app. I am guessing it's the poor quality AP I use. Transferred 8000 sms messages without a hiccup. Glad I found this app.
I just switched from Lumia 930 to Galaxy s6! Couldn't put up with no YouTube or descent apps any longer. Felt like I was just missing out on things.
Farce.... not on Marshmallow, Lollypop, WP8.1 or 10... in no combination does this do anything at all - except this: waste your time. But we learned in 2016 what Microsoft thinks of WP users... tsssk.
Clearly Windows Phone still hasn't got their stuff together. I circle back around to a Windows Phone I own periodically to check it out. Needed this migration to work so I could test it with my new jobs outlook servers. As a former Windows Phone Expert, I REALLY wish they'd get it together. It has such potential but Microsoft refuses to support it correctly and thus devs don't either. This app is evidence.
It tells me I need a Windows phone for this to work. WTF. WHY WOULD I NEED THIS APP IF I ALREADY HAVE A WINDOWS PHONE. This need a lot of work.
What a complete waste time app is completely useless and doesn't at all as advertised. I feel taken advantage of and it was free.
Why is this not featured anywhere on my Windows 10 Phone? Not even your support staff know about it. I've spent over two hours trying to move contacts and messages. Just give up, Microsoft, you're not even trying. It's easy to see why you only have a 3% market share on mobile devices - you simply don't care!
First screen: Let's get started. Nothing responded! Couldn't tap. Couldn't swipe. Couldn't select anything and couldn't go anywhere. Totally useless :(
LG k7... It appears the bottom of the app is blocked by the small screen and you can't scroll up so the app doesn't work at all
Moved 8k SMS messages from SGS2 to Lumia950 using the WiFi feature. Same language settings on both phones. Unfortunately all pm messages are imported with am time, e.g. 5:30pm is copied to 5:30am. useless.
Doesn't work on galaxy s6 running marshmallow. Will not find a wlan ID or password. MS hasn't updated in over a year. This is partly why they are happy wallowing in 1% market share.
Do not be a fool. Using Windows is foolish.
So I download to my LG g3. I get as far as the first page of instructions and I can't see anything else. The screen won't even move.
Even the email address for problems doesn't work
I'm switching to a good iOS This metroPCS is being annoying It's waking me up every time But windows is actually ok ... So.... See ya later MetroPCS
Seems interesting but on my mother's phone, which has a small HVGA screen, no scrollbar on the first screen means it's completely unusable!
Read carefully follow instructions and it will work for you. Call logs too ....MS
This app just don't work. Just use the transfer my data app on windows phone.
Worked once but no more. Now it doesn't not setup a Wi-Fi hotspot; gives a blank Wi-Fi ID and password. This is on a Nexus 6P with 7.1.1. Trying the same on my Asus PadFone S with KitKat 4.4.2 gets a connection to my Windows Phone but then it crashes immediately.
Doesn't account for screen size. Doesn't even provide a way to scroll down to show the bottom part where the options are located, rendering it useless.
I get to the WiFi connect part and on my Android where it should show a WiFi ID and password it is blank. But on my Windows phone there is a connection. So I see the signal to connect to but have no idea what the password would be!!! So useless!!!
Attempted wifi xfr from Note 3. However Verizon detects the connection as a Hotspot and "checks for a subscription", then shuts down the virtual network if the feature isn't being paid for. Possible fix: create a VPN connection as FoxFi does to allow this to work.

If you want people to switch to the windows phone with low market share.....Consider updating this app. It just might go a long way... You can't even sign in with your Microsoft account without an error in this app. So if I can't get past the 1st part of it, this app is virtually useless, hence my low rating. I like the Microsoft ecosystem that has been built. I love windows 10, I have an xbox one, I am going to pick up a surface tablet. Heck, I might try the windows phone! But this app functioning would crucial to me switching, probably along with a lot of other people. I also like that you can back-up everything to OneDrive (which I am an everyday user of) So what do you say, Microsoft, can you fix this for me?
I love this app,but I want to see an app can switch to windows PC or computer.Can or not?
We have used windows phones since the beginning, but my wife and I have migrated to Android due to the serious lack of available Apps. I would use this if they get their act together in the apps department and I am still willing to go back... Watch out Microsoft, God for bid if Android made a good OS for PCs
I wanna switch to Lumia 540. But in this app, at the first step itself it is not showing whether to choose Wi-Fi or One Drive. I cannot find those options. Because I am unable to scroll down to see them. Pls Fix it.
It tells me I need a Windows phone for this to work. WTF. WHY WOULD I NEED THIS APP IF I ALREADY HAVE A WINDOWS PHONE. This need a lot of work.
Phone will not broadcast an SSID. Worked fine in Lollipop. Please fix.
They do not support custom labels in contacts. This is something basic for modern phones. They do not show custom labels even from your google account. Custom labels do not get transferred using this app or syncing with google or transferring everything to their cloud
I have nokia xl windows phone but I want the windows 8 like lumia <3 how can I make it ( the error can't make a Folder for backup ?) Help plz !
The app is incomplete without the ability to transfer MMS messages and call logs.
My dad was gifted a windows phone, he hates it as much as I do!
The windows phone app is no where to be found in Windows Store. So this here is totally useless.
tried to transfer data from nexus 5 running marshmallow to lumia 950, using the wifi option. WLAN ID is not showing up at all in both phones, making the transition as horrible and frustrating as possible!!!
Doesn't work for LG Leon.
