This issue has been discussed before, however I have just discovered a new method using AirMore which allows you to transfer photos and other data from/to your cell phone without physical connection. You need to download and install the AirMore app to your cell phone. Then connect to AirMore online using http://web.airmore.com/. Very easy to use.

I just connect my phone to my PC via Bluetooth and it couldn't be easier. No USB or tether of any kind needed.

I just email pictures to myself from my phone. All wireless. But whatever you like to do is đź‘Ť.

Mine is extremely fond of blueberries and refuses to brush regularly.

That works just fine for me, also. Super simpy!

You did not say Android or iOS. For iOS, if you have wifi and/or good cell service, perhaps the easiest wireless way is to copy them to iCloud or even Google Drive or MS OneDrive. Also consider DropBox, etc. All those likely work well with Android except iCloud. All work with PC or MacOS.
Also, with iOS and Mac you have the option of "AirDrop" in either direction. That works with BlueTooth, not Wifi nor cellular but you have to have the phone and the computer pretty near each other.
In other words, you don't need one more app if you have the components I list here.
I am not being negative about wires, just limiting the remarks to wireless.

I have PCs and an iPhone. I just put iCloud for Windows on my PCs and I can add or subtract photos and documents.
Email works but it’s more cumbersome.

One or three shots I'll just email to myself.

I use Google Photos app on iPhone. Whenever you load the app it automatically uploads the contents of your "photos" folder. It then prompts you to delete your photos from your phone. (I then go into photos and delete the "deleted" photos - they will be automatically deleted later anyway). This keeps your phone memory usage down and your photos safe with Google. Whenever you want to do anything with your photos you can see and download them from the app or go into your Google account on your computer. From there you can make albums and share them with friends and family or download them onto your computer for whatever. I use this solution because it is so simple to use and so far 100% reliable (oh and it's free)

Regarding mailing the pic to yourself. In theory that works fine. In practice, some mail apps will shrink the pic as a normal (default) feature. Just a heads-up.

I have an iPhone 8+ and a Windows 10 PC also a Windows 10 Laptop. When trying to download multiple images from my iPhone via the Lightning to USB cable I often have problems. Doesn’t matter which cable I use. Or if I use USB 2.0 or 3 there are often issues with disconnects partway thru the download. I’m not alone, this is a common issue on the Apple support forums.
I do have automatic backup to Google & Amazon Photos. But I want to back up the folders on my IOS phone to an internal or external drive so I know I have the full sized image. Then I can make room on my phone.
So I’ll give the original poster’s App a try or Bluetooth. I haven’t tried that yet.

I teach photography in a high school. With "distance learning" as they are calling it in my district I have been forced to have my students use their smartphones instead of the school cameras. Moving images from their phones to a computer was an issue I had to address, fortunately, about 8 years ago my district went to a Google platform and every student from grade 5 up gets a Chromebook.
I have students either email images to themselves or use the charging cable via USB to transfer images and most have no problem, those that do have problems, they are usually associated with poor internet at home or older phones. One other note, I have them download and use Snapseed as an editing app, it's a great app, it's a Google product and It's FREE!
