Latest reviews
- (2025-07-23) LoriJ: I was looking for a replacement for pushbullet which is no longer supported. Join is a bit tricker to use. There is quite a lag between a text on my phone and it showing up via the extension. What I wanted was to use my laptop to type texts rather than my phone. And I frequently send files to my phone or tablet. The UI was hard for me to get used ot. But the reason I'm no longer going to use it is ALL the many files it adds to my google drive. Every morning about 2/3 of my google drive screen would be join files. For that reason, I'm not going to bother trying to get used to the UI.
- (2025-05-15) Eden MUI: I have been a fan for as long as this app is published, but recently there is an exception that is ongoing, João you need to fix this quick.
- (2025-05-09) Bradford Adams: By far my favorite app from João, I pretty much have all of his apps, now while I had the Tasker app bug for a few years, writing and creating new ways to automate my Android devices with Tasker, I always use Join to easily have clipboards synced between many devices! Also transferring files between them, or even sending a command through Join to trigger a Tasker Profile or Task! All in All: Buy Join , you will never regret it!
- (2025-02-11) Hey Choppi: Hi, I’ve been using this extension for a long time, but it stopped working. it doesn't load the UI properly after the recent update. Could you please look into it? Thanks!
- (2024-12-21) Jason Lee: Please update this extension. It is being labeled "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."
- (2024-10-30) Jeff State: It seems like the extension gets screwed up when used on two Chromium browsers on the same computer. It kept asking me to rename that Join instance, even though I named the two browser extension's instances “Chrome” and “Thorium.” The rename prompt kept persisting. Something to look into... This is one of my most used Chromium extensions. I've been using the paid app, for years, with both Chrome & Thorium to my Android phones. I've tried Airdroid, and many other similar programs, but Join has been the most reliable, functional extension, by far. This extensions' developers knows what they're doing. When Joaoapps' devs see this, please know that your update to Manifest V3 compliance can't come soon enough. No one wants to resort using a less functional extension. I also use paid versions of Tasker and various Auto* apps. They all interconnect well, so please don't let this one break on us. With that said, I have had an issue with the extensions' Dismiss Everywhere function. It just doesn't dismiss the notifications everywhere, as intended. No big deal, but it'd also be handy to choose to ignore SMS that the device recognizes as Spam. Maybe there's an ADB function to perform somewhere in there, but it'd be especially useful during potitical campaign seasons 😆
- (2024-09-15) s f: Originally used it bought it but then somehow I never used it because I found it to be too cumbersome. Also I needed less and less rely on SMS (one of the reasons why I got it originally) and didn't work reliably for Clipboard Sharing, Remote Writing, Taking Screenshots on Devices and sending files. So while I am not too happy about reading that now it would be removed due to not being MV3 compliant, it'd be a loss for those who were using it as paying customers. Hopefully the dev won't drop the ball here :)
- (2024-08-06) Christopher McEwen: Amazing extension, I use it multiple times every single day to send Chrome tabs on my phone to my desktop computer at home for me to check out later. I also use it to easily transfer small files to and from my phone. I really, really hope they are able to update it to support MV3.
- (2024-08-05) Zaid Saiyed: Dear Join Developer, The recent news about Join potentially being discontinued is devastating. Countless users, including myself, rely on Join's incredible features for seamless device integration and productivity. Please don't let this invaluable tool be killed by Google. We, the Join community, are passionate and dedicated, ready to provide feedback and support to ensure Join's continued compatibility and success. Thank you for your dedication and incredible service. Sincerely, A Loyal Join User
- (2024-07-26) Frank: Been using Join chrome and android for years. very happy with it. But: Since last Chrome update join extension says: This extension may soon no longer be supported Remove or replace it with similar extensions from the Chrome Web Store BTW was wondering for the Android Join App if you would want to put in an option for us to force enable the 'monitor clipboard' switch? So that I can see if i can get a (rooted) workaround to actually enable it. Or should a rooted workaround not need the switch enabled for join to make use of it? Thanks in advance
- (2024-06-24) David Setton: having lots of issues. For some reason when I run the test diagnostics from my chrome browser, it doesn't get through it.
- (2024-06-20) so so: When copying text in Chrome on the computer, the clipboard syncs properly with the phone. However, every time I copy something, a desktop notification on the computer shows ""Error Direct Send, Requested entity was not found."" Reinstalling Join on both the phone and Chrome did not fix the issue. 😢
- (2024-06-04) Taha: anything from Joao is perfect! Thanks man, keep going!
- (2024-04-28) Michael J: Join was never 100% reliable, but it used to work pretty well most of the time, and when it worked, it was awesome. However, it stopped working for me for SMS months ago, and I never figured out how to get it working again. I wrote the the Dev and never got a response, so I've given up and uninstalled it. Even when it worked, it took a fair amount of effort to get it set up. Not to say this is the dev's fault - I'm sure changes to Windows and android have made this difficult. There are very few options that allow you to use your Android app of choice and still sync to a PC. I'm trying pushbullet now and so far it seems to work quite well.
- (2024-03-24) Carl Paulson: I'm usually pretty long-winded in my reviews, whether for an extension or otherwise. However, in the case of Join by Joãoapps, this isn't necessary, as it's in a league all by itself with effectively 0 competition. The only tool I use that even comes close to the utility I get from Join is KDE Connect, but there are fundamental differences between both and therefore really shouldn't be compared, but simply allowed to compliment one another, which they do nicely. Words can't express how grateful I am for this extension (& the Android app, associated website, TASKER, etc., etc., ad infinitum). THANK YOU, João Dias / Joãoapps! Cheers!
- (2024-01-28) n ascentt: Unable to use get 403 forbidden errors sending files to myself despite using the same google accounts on phone, pc and chrome. Also there's no way to use different google accounts and there's no way to link the devices together unless they're all on the same google account.

- (2023-10-02) Invex: Simply spectacular. Finally clipboard sharing (and much more) with my Linux PC without wifi! Highly recommended and the price is a bargain.

- (2023-05-30) Just Sturgis: What was my most used, most trusted, most productive tool for years has not worked for me for months. I considered rating this 1 star because I am so frustrated, but I still give it 5 stars because it is an incredible tool when and where it works. It simply no longer works with the browsers I choose use (Brave, Wavebox, Opera). This is so disappointing and having to use Chrome just to use this extension is painful. I wish the dev could figure out why it does not work on other Chromium based browsers.

- (2023-04-30) _ jungjc: 안드로이드 13 업그레이드 이후 핸드폰에서 PC로 클립보드가 안되서 확인해보니 안드로이드 정책상 안된다고 하네요. 현재 클립보드의 경우 Windows와 연결로 사용 중입니다. 안드로이드 10때 처럼 다시 클립보드가 되게 빠른 조치가 필요할 것 같아요.

- (2022-12-17) Dr.Ne0Gen3tic (Forensic Buro of Quantum): Ich dachte, ich probiere diese Erweiterung einmal aus und kaufe mir Pro. Dass sie doch so vielseitig ist und so coole Features hat, hätte ich ehrlich gesagt nicht gedacht! Mit dieser App lässt sich nicht nur vieles an das Smartphone senden und wieder zurück an den Computer senden, sondern auch Benachrichtigungen lesen, Registerkarten des Browsers an euer Gerät senden und die Zwischenablage browserunabhängig synchronisieren (alles mit eurem Smartphone!). Auch könnt ihr Text hin und her senden zwischen euren Geräten, aber auch Dateien lassen sich senden. Oder habt ihr euer Smartphone verlegt? Kein Problem, lass es klingeln über diese Erweiterung! Tasker lässt sich integrieren und jegliche interessanten Tasks lassen sich programmieren und automatisieren, da sind kaum Grenzen gesetzt! Einziges Manko ist die altbackene und sehr altmodische Oberfläche, aber das macht dem Ganzen keinen Abbruch! Von der Funktionsweise ein sehr, sehr mächtiges Werkzeug!
- (2022-11-21) Pierre Grosjean: Joao, has there been any change in your knowledge about this? I installed Brave Browser since it went online and Join didn't have any problems, today it's no longer the case. Can we make it work normally? Sincerely, Pierre

- (2022-10-30) Jaxon Lee: years on the market and still the best game in town. Requires resetting the token every few weeks through the diagnostics process. That's the only issue. That, and the app is dead ugly. I wish it used the material you theme

- (2022-07-20) Johan Augustin Wågan Baustad: I hate that Join has started asking me to login every time i turn off/on my computer. Have to set it up as if it's my first time using it every time. Why doesn't other extensions log out every time chrome is killed?

- (2022-06-03) Suchir Sivakumar: Very handy for syncing clipboard, notifications, and acting as a bridge between sending links between firefox on android to chrome Only downside to this extension is local file transfers are capped at roughly 2gb before a crash occurs or the file is sent through google drive.

- (2022-03-13) bahrta sai: This is especially good if you have tasker. If you don't it's still very usable but tasker is worth the money just for use with this alone. THE ONE PROBLEM IS: I use it on a chromebook & the name changes on it's own frequently, so when I try to send something from my phone I have to open the settings on this to find the name. It would be a 5⭐ extension if not for this.

- (2021-05-11) TJ: I paid for, and have used this app for a few years. It worked fine until recently. Now when I receive an sms pop up I can't see the bottom of the text where I would type my reply. I'm not the only one, per the support page. It's been several weeks now and they've done nothing to fix it. I rarely pay for apps, so when I do and they don't work correctly and don't bother fixing it, it really makes me mad. FIX THE PROBLEM!
