The YO! app is a powerful tool designed to facilitate the seamless transfer of files between Android devices that are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Its capabilities go beyond simple file sharing, as it also includes a communication feature that allows users to chat with one another.

Effortless File Sharing

One of the standout features of the YO! app is its ability to send and receive all types of files. This includes not only lightweight files such as photos, videos, and text, but also larger files like movies and entire discs. The process is quick and efficient, even for hefty files, making it an ideal solution for those needing to share large amounts of data without consuming their mobile data plan. Importantly, there are no restrictions on either the number of devices that can be involved in the file sharing or the size of the files being transferred.

User-Friendly Interface

The YO! app has a clean and intuitive interface that makes file selection a breeze. The main window is organized into three distinct categories: videos, pictures, and audio. This makes it easy for users to locate and select the files they wish to share.

Flexible Contact Selection

When choosing the recipient for a file transfer, users have the option to select from a list of devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Alternatively, they can send a message through WhatsApp to notify a user that a file is ready to be sent to them. This flexibility in contact selection adds another level of convenience for users.

Wi-Fi Access Point Creation

The YO! app goes beyond simple file sharing by also allowing users to create a Wi-Fi access point. This feature enables friends or family members to connect directly to the user's device, eliminating the need for access to a router or a specific network. Users simply need to provide the code needed to open the hotspot.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the YO! app is a versatile file sharing and communication tool for Android devices. Its ability to send and receive files of any size and its user-friendly interface make it an excellent choice for users who frequently need to transfer large amounts of data. The addition of the chat function and the ability to create a Wi-Fi access point add to its utility and convenience.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • RECORD_AUDIO: Allows an application to record audio.
  • WRITE_CONTACTS: Allows an application to write the user's contacts data.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE: Allows applications to enter Wi-Fi Multicast mode.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • DISABLE_KEYGUARD: Allows applications to disable the keyguard if it is not secure.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.

  • android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.REGISTER
  • com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
