I Never Used This App AT ALL! Not Sure Why It's Installed In My Phone.
I don't remember ever using this
Does not work on the new phones
I loved it
I don,t use
Best
Think
This app is nice for quickly sharing pictures or short videos between mine and my wife's phones. However, it does not work on my brand new Samsung Galaxy A tablet. I'm trying to zap some of my phone pictures to the tablet, and the tablet always reports I've entered the wrong PIN, even though I have entered it exactly. And it makes no sense because it worked 4 days ago, then suddenly stopped and hasn't worked since.
Everyone complaining about bloatware is an idiot. All manufacturers put extra software on your phone that you cannot delete, all of them. Even Google puts bloatware on the Nexus. Why pre-install a camera app or Web browser? That's considered bloatware if it is not the application you prefer to use. This app is a great tool for low security picture sharing. This is like Bump or other apps. NFC and WiFi direct have to be turned on, this software adds an on demand function that doesn't use much battery.
…but until then, it's just Moto bloatware I can't get rid of. And no, disabling the app does NOT magically make it stop taking up space. It's still there, it just won't load until you re-enable it. It seems like a completely unnecessary thing for an Android phone because with NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct you can tap the phones to transfer just about anything.
Loved zap but after getting a new phone, I keep getting an error that it can't connect. It's been weeks. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, phone is up to date. I can't find answers anywhere to fix it either. So bummed because this is a 5star app when it worked for me
On your phone goto SETTINGS. Click on APPS Slide over to ALL Scroll down to DROID ZAP Click & open DROID ZAP Click on CLEAR DATA Click on FORCE STOP Un-check SHOW NOTIFICATIONS Click DISABLE Now that app is no longer using vital storage space... It's as easy as that and if you want the app to be restored, move from ALL to DISABLED and just click on the app that you want to reinstall and then click Enable and once again that app will come back and take up storage space.
YOU PEOPLE ARE CROOKS, FORCING KIDS TO MAKE A ACCOUNT TO YOU, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNDER 18! THEY CAN'T USE THEIR PHONE NUMBER TO ACTIVATE THIS DARN APP. THEY HAVE TO REGISTER, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE PART OF THE SAME ACCOUNT! IT'S NOT JUST KIDS, BUT ANYONE ON THE SAME ACCOUNT.
If you don't have a use for an app it doesn't mean it's a bad one! This is a clever idea to be able to exchange photos between two person or a group of people, next to each other, right on the spot! It's the simple version of sending photos through messaging or email, but in a much faster way!
Another Ap that is unwanted, unneeded and reinstalled automatically after it had manually been uninstalled.
Came preinstalled on my Motorola, but I have had friends install it on their Samsung phones and it worked great.
When I want an app on my phone I'll put it there but to not let me take it off what bullshit
After latest software update to Marshmallow, this app no longer works. I sent an email to Motorola about this and they didn't even care to respond. Maybe Motorola is no longer the company for me.Update, Google play connected me to Motorola's Technical Support who said they'd call back. It has been 3 days, no call.
Just got a Droid Turbo tried the app and it keeps saying "cannot connect, try again later" - useless
Only "sort of" works. Slow, not easy to send more than one pic and cannot access profile.
Am unable to install on my new Moto Z. Error code 505. Had it on my old Droid and loved it. I need it! Please fix ASAP.
Cannot download to my Turbo 2. Sad since all my family members have Motorola phones.
Had it since it came out. Got the droid turbo 2 and can not install it. Installed fine on wife's Galaxy S6. You would think a Motorola app could be installed on a Motorola phone. Fix it and I will install it.
Not only useless, but it is impossible to get rid of it. I've uninstalled updates, emptied the caches, deactivated notifications, etc. and within hours, it re-updates and fully re-installs. Pernicious
Totally love zapping pictures to my family, best thing ever.
I had Zap and used it regularly to share pics with the family. Absolutely loved it. Came pre-installed on my Droid Turbo 2. The last update removed it and now the download fails. Way to go!
The app won't install, error 505 bs. It's the only app I have troubles with even after yesterday's software update 24.14.16
why, oh why kill off this wonderful app? oh droid zap, I will miss you, and your easy file sharing capabilities that no other can match. 🤧🥺
