Download the MobiKin clients for PC and Android and then click the “Connect via WIFI” button on the user interface of your PC MobiKin software.
To establish a secure connection between your computer and your phone, you will have to scan the QR code through your mobile camera. We found this method to be easy, quick, and convenient.
Screen Capture
The MobiKin Assistant for Android allows you to take a screenshot of the screen of your connected Android device and save it to your PC. Unfortunately, this useful function is only limited to when the devices are connected via a cable and not via WiFi.
Backup, Restore, Add or Delete Contacts
The most important and weighty feature of any device data management software is its ability to backup, restore, delete, and add data including contacts from the PC and MobiKin does an exceptional job at this. With the help of this software, you can easily export and import CSV, HTML, VCF, Outlook, BAK, and XML file formats. You also have the convenience of choosing specific contacts to backup, restore, add, or delete from the android phone or tablet.
To keep your MobiKin contact list updated and current, you must refresh it periodically, especially after adding a new contact directly on your phone. Otherwise, the contact won’t appear in the MobiKin list.
Install, Uninstall and Backup Apps
Other than your contacts, the MobiKin device management software also allows you to backup apps as well as install and uninstall them. A minor drawback of installing apps through MobiKin into your phone is that you will need APK extension files of your desired apps, which aren’t always safe.
An easy way to avoid any issues is to install apps directly in your device using the Google Play Store and then back it up in APK format on your PC using MobiKin.
Message Backup
You can also use your MobiKin Assistant for Android to export SMS messages to your PC, as well as send and delete them. The software will also allow you to import exported BAK, JSON, and XML file format messages to your device.
By designating MobiKin as your default-messaging app, you can send messages to anyone in your MobiKin contact list from your PC. In this way, you can also delete messages. If you choose to go back to the default-messaging app, then you can do it by merely resetting it from the MobiKin tool on your device.
Import, Export, Add And Delete Media Files
MobiKin Assistant for Android is a comprehensive software that comes with the complete tools that allow you to manage and protect the data on your android device. It will enable you to delete, move, add, and backup your photos, videos, music, and other media files. Also, the best thing is that media files are added, moved, and backed up in their original file format.
App Interface And User Experience
There is no denying the fact that usability and user experience are two of the most critical aspects of evaluating an app. We carefully tried and tested both the free and the paid versions of MobiKin. We were thoroughly impressed with the fact that both the versions offer somewhat the same interface and user experience.
Not everyone is tech-savvy! So to improve the overall user experience for all users, MobiKin shares clear instructions to help you successfully download and install this tool. If you specifically talk about the user interface, we were thoroughly impressed as we did not experience any lags or software crash.
The self-explanatory, smart app interface makes the app fast, simple, and easy to use. The best thing about MobiKin that thoroughly impressed us is the fact that this app is app-free! Yes! Both the free and paid version doesn’t have any ads that would pop-up on random times.
