This does it privately, thru your OWN router's internal connection, without going thru any other connections.
Plus it's another way to transfer, like having a USB cable, but you still want other ways too.
:-)
Even though you can also do the transfer with a USB connection and iTunes, ...
it's an added way to transfer, privately.
You may not use it in all cases, but it's another option.
Plus, after you purchase it once, you can put it on all of your other iDevices, FREE.
(as long as you use the same iTunes account login info you originally purchased with)

If you're wondering what the building looked like after the fire ...
it was actually worse than I thought. ... it wasn't just one unit burned or damaged, ...
One was totally destroyed, where it started on the 4th floor front...
The one above that mostly destroyed, not as bad as the lower floor, but bad enough ...
and the top floor was just starting to catch, when the firemen put it out...
... it mostly had smoke damage.
Plus, the third floor has water damage from the massive amounts of water sprayed on the Apts above.
I think the two residents on the other two floors (4th and 5th) didn't make it out.
Here's a picture of the final damage.
I was at the upper-floor, corner right-side of the picture...
out the window next to the corner air conditioner,... taking the video with the iPad2 ... !

Hi again Alison, ... I just noticed your statement "...I can't get an IP address..."
Have you tried connecting at home, thru your home router?
You can read this post, on how to check your connection...
https://getsatisfaction.com/photo_tra...
and my latest post at this other thread, to set your home router so you'll know it's yours when checking your connection ...

Hi Alison, ... Besides using only WiFi and not 3G , or 4G to transfer, ... It ONLY uses your own router connection. Not a public WiFi connection.
(as long as you make sure you're not connected to any public WiFi Hot-Spot)
So not only is it free to transfer by using your own internal routers connection, it's also totally private, just going thru your home router and the devices attached to it.

Hi, to both Chito, and ccnep2418 (same person?) :-)
If you use the same iTunes login info as you used the first time you paid to download the App, you won't be charged again.
Apple remembers the Apps you've already paid for, and lets you download them again, free, ... Even to put them onto another iDevice, or the same iDevice.
But, YOU MUST use the same eMail address and other login info used when you paid for it the first time, otherwise you will be charged as a new download.
Let us know what happens. If there are any problems, you can always use the link in the eMail'd receipt Apple sent, that says ..."Report a Problem"
That link has special info that tells Apple the purchase info, and brings you to the correct place to report any problems regarding that purchase... But you should not be charged again, if you use the SAME login info as the first time the App was purchased.

Hi Ceri,

Well done...!

Hi Ceri,
First, ... Please don't consider your concerns a "waste of time" to either myself, or of course, Enrique, or Amber.
It's customers such as yourself, taking THEIR time, (your time) to figure out situations such as this, that make the Photo Transfer App better, and help this community with similar concerns as yours.
With that said, I'm sure this developer will agree with my above statement. :-)
As for the PhotoShop JPG format, it may even be "news" to Enrique, and much appreciated, for you giving that info here, and taking YOUR time to test this.
It certainly was news to me. :)
If you do find an optimal JPG compression setting, I'm also sure others reading this community supported help site will be interested to hear it as well.
Have you tried to use other file types that the iDevice and Enrique's App support?
Such as RAW format. There are also several kinds of JPG formats that PhotoShop can output a file as.
I think I remember JPG 2000, for one, but do not know if the Photo Transfer App supports all the variations. ... Enrique or Amber can verify if this is true.
Usually, regarding standard JPG's compression factor ... I was once told, or read online, lowering the quality slider to 75% may still give good quality, while making a smaller file-size. But whether the iDevice will benefit from this is still unknown to me.
We're all interested in what your findings show, thanks for your efforts.

Hi again Ceri, :)
I just checked the "focus speed" of a high-res photo (over 5MB) using my iPad 2 and the built-in Photo App in the iOS 5.1 home screen, and noticed a "lag" in the "blurry to sharp" displaying of it, to be around 1, to at most 1.5 second "delay" to focus it.
If this delay exists within the iPad 2 when first viewing that high-res photo, I'm guessing it's the CPU processor, and/or Graphic processor "loading" the image into the screen for sharp viewing... and may be a normal function of the device it's being viewed on.
The iPhone 3 (and even iPad 1) has a slower CPU and graphic processor than the newer iPhone 4 (or iPad 2 and 3), so it may be normal to focus slower on the older devices.
Does your older device take longer than 1 or 2 seconds to bring the sharp image into view? (that may be normal)
Does it also take that longer time on your iPhone 4s? It shouldn't, unless the photos are way larger than 5 or 6 MB. (~ 8.5 MegaPixel photos)
Even the iPad 2 and 3, and iPhone 4 will take time to "focus" a 16 MegaPixel, or higher, photo on the screen, when flipping thru them.
But as Enrique mentioned, in the post I linked to before, when you transfer to a computer, from a high-res capable iDevice, that photo isn't changed by the transfer.
Only when transferring from / to a higher model iDevice to / from a lower res one.
It actually makes sense, when you think of it.
The device is "converting it" to display on the other device's internal Graphics capability.
So if you need to have them viewed at its highest resolution possible, use the higher-res iDevice. :-) or a Laptop.

Hi Ceri,
I found a post by Enrique, from last year, to another customer of the Photo Transfer App, regarding what may be a similar question, or explanation for you, to your question.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your question here. When you transfer photos from iPhone to computer or from iPad to computer the photos are transferred exactly as they are on your device. The photos are not modified or resized, they are transferred at the maximum quality and resolution (original size).
However, if you want to transfer photos from a computer to an iPhone/iPad, the photos will be optimized to be displayed on the device's screen (the 'Photos' app will do this automatically), so the resolution may be reduced if the photos are very large. Basically the maximum resolution you will get will be the maximum resolution that the iPhone or iPad can handle internally when saving a photo.
I hope this answers you question. Please let us know if you have any other question or comment.
Kind regards,
Enrique

YES, the same network of your own HOME router, or a public router that allows internal connection file transfers, but that's not as private as your own home router of course.
I explain how to know if you're actually on the same network for your home router, and what settings to adjust in your home router to make it easier to know when it's yours you actually connect to ... in these two posts ...
This post mentions some settings to change in the router ... (your home router) https://getsatisfaction.com/photo_tra...
This post shows how to make sure you're on the same network. (iDevice settings)
