Previously was one of the best torrent clients on Android. Recently they've added intrusive ads every time you try to delete a torrent. And half the time now when you go back to the app afterward, the list is messed up. It will say a torrent is at 0% and searching for Metadata. You have to press start to have it re-find the files. And then it's place in the download list becomes out of order. Using S22 Ultra.

It was a great app but lately they've added commercials + trying to trap you into clicking on them. The X icon isn't responding, the commercial is in a full screen that doesn't show you the bottom of the screen with Android's "back" and "home" options, so you are trapped. No matter where you click it goes to the commercial link. REMOVING THE APP.

I've been at it with torrents since 2005, used uTorrent most often (PC's only) until last year when I found uTorrent for Android lacking. I tried Flud and am very happy I did; it is superior to every other torrent app for Android thanks to its better customization possibilities and consistency. Plus, its interface is intuitive (simple but effective) and the developers are quite classy when it comes to the necessary ads, which thanks to their placement I hardly notice. Outstanding work!

Hate to say it because it used to be one of the best, but it's bearly sufficient now. For instance, all completed torrents have a "bin" extension that one has to manually remove before the files can be used. Also, completed torrent files are moved to the "Finished" section (as expected) but then shortly after are only listed in the "Queued" section. It just acts bizarre. It may be abandoned because it hasn't been updated in years.

This is an overall good torrenting app. I reccomend disabling NAT-PMP and UPnP for mobile data usage, and getting a frequently updated tracker list no matter what you do, and open your free connections to around 9999, this doesn't affect anything. This app does have some minor issues- it doesnt shut off using the time management, and it also is a battery hog. It has occasional ads, but they can be shut off and don't happen until maybe 20G. Good app, not perfect. Fine for the job.

Love it! Suggestion: the "plus" symbol should include a description "add torrent" or "download torrent." It took me a minute to figure out, but that's something you only need to learn once. Newcommers might get frustrated or confused is all I am saying. OLED mode would be cool too. But overall I love the simplicity of the app (while still retaining more advanced functions). I've never had problems with the connection. Has been more reliable than my PC clients throughout the years.
