SmartTorrent Torrent Client for Android Review
SmartTorrent Torrent Client is a native BitTorrent client optimized for Android devices. It provides a great way to enjoy movies, shows and music, especially if you’re not living in the US. The bottom-line: it brings the benfits of torrents right on your mobile phone. You can download SmartTorrent for free from Google Play Store.
Features
SmartTorrent Torrent Client app for Android is easy to use. We’d downloaded few shows and the phone did not lag or freeze during the download process. You can check the download on the progress bar. The main feature of SmartTorrent for Android is to add or download contents in the form of torrents. With few clicks, you can start downloading the desired files. The torrents can be searched in two ways. One, you can use specific keywords to search the torrents. Or you can do it from some outside source. That is, if you’d spotted a torrent online or had downloaded one from to your PC, and later transferred to your mobile phone, you can add the files/folders that are located on your phone. You can always set the download to happen when your phone is connected to WiFi, therein saving your precious mobile data. Also, you can start, stop or pause an ongoing download anytime as you wish. You can set file priorities – normal, low, and high – if you happen to download multiple files simultaneously.
The control features are decent. You can select the folders to which the file eventually downloads. The app also supports proxies. It also provides UPnP and NAT-PMP support as well as Magnet links support. The UI is easy enough to use. But certainly, there is room for improvement. Performance wise, the app is slick and responsive. Typical of a free app, SmartTorrent is ad-supported.
Conclusion
SmartTorrent Torrent Client app for Android is a handy tool for getting and downloading torrents. The UI is intuitive, even though we would have preferred an updated design. It has all the typical features you’ll find on a torrent app. Support for proxies come handy. The ads can be a bit distracting at times. If you use the app frequently, you can get rid of the ads by paying a small amount. The app is stable and responsive as well. Check it out if you’re scouting for a reliable BitTorrent client for your mobile phone.
