File Expert Android app promotes NFC to management and leaves Bluetooth doing the manual labor

File Expert Android app promotes NFC to management and leaves Bluetooth doing the manual labor

The problem with Bluetooth is that it never took the effective communications class. It won’t make friends at a party and instead stands in the corner clutching its drink. However, NFC is a veritable social butterfly in comparison. Some may even call it loose in the way that it will hook up with any device with no questions asked. Yep, NFC is a dirty stop out and will chase anything in a case. Back in its school days, NFC was never in the athletics club at school. It’s not a strong or fast as Bluetooth, and NFC never worked out at the gym. These days, it relies on Bluetooth to do the heavy lifting. That’s why the big bosses over at Geek Software Technology Inc. have promoted NFC and allowed it to pimp Bluetooth out in their File Expert Android app.

NFC Bluetooth pairing for file sharing on one of Androids best file sharing and management apps

Okay now you know that NFC handles the ice breaker situations and gets a phones number quicker than you can blink, but when things get a little more complex, it hands off to Bluetooth for the deep and meaningful exchange of information. Let’s look at the app. File Expert is probably the best file management app we have seen for Android. Its features are so comprehensive that this sentence doesn’t do it justice and the six million downloads the app has enjoyed so far are a testament to that. NFC apps are becoming far more common even if NFC phones aren’t as yet. File Expert is among our favorites because the NFC is backed up with useful tools and does a little more than the majority NFC tag writing apps that are about. Although, we still love NFC Task Launcher app that we reviewed a while back.

Instead of giving you a blow by blow feature description, the list below comes straight from Android’s marketplace and should add to your need for this little NFC Android app.
