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.

Terrible app. Won't authenticate live account and wifi mode completely broken. And when you search for answers you find the community page where replies are collapsed and can't actually be shown - in Chrome or Edge. Another fine product written by first year co-ops and left to rot in the app stores.

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.

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!!!

The first screen is supposed to offer 2 options (Wi-Fi or One Drive), however, it is not possible to scroll down the screen to access those options. Further, it's not possible to resize the screen to show the complete page. (I only know how the complete page should appear as I viewed in on my PC but cannot on an Android phone.) Without the ability to access the options on the very first screen, this application is rendered useless.

About this app

We updated the former app "Switch to Windows Phone" and built this new version. It is preview version.

We are offering you two ways to move your data to Windows Phone:

(1) WiFi: if you’ve already set up your Windows phone. You’ll be able to move your contacts, text messages, photos, videos, and music over directly using virtual Wi-Fi and an app that you install on your new phone.
You do not need any network, real WiFi router or account. But you need to install a Windows Phone app on your Windows Phone. The name of the app is "Switch to Windows Phone". It's at https://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/switch-to-windows-phone/3286dd5d-3f98-435a-b80c-3fccba05a867

(2) OneDrive: if you haven’t set up your new phone yet. You’ll create a backup copy of your bookmarks, photos, videos, and apps, which can be downloaded automatically when you set up the new phone.
You need network connection and an Microsoft account.
