Getting Started
SnapPea, in a nutshell, is iTunes for Android—minus the bloat. You start by downloading SnapPea to your Windows PC and the corresponding mobile app to your Android device. There are two setup methods: You can connect your Android phone or tablet to a laptop via USB (and download the appropriate drivers), or connect via Wi-Fi. The latter option requires a small but easy amount of setup.
- Step one: Make sure that the laptop and Android device are connected to the same wireless signal.
- Step two: Launch the SnapPea mobile app and key in the displayed passcode into the SnapPea desktop app when prompted. That's it!
- Note: Part of SnapPea's music functionality is gimped when used over Wi-Fi. More on that later.
The SnapPea home screen has two areas. There's a large, main content area that occupies most of the screen and a column that houses the My Device and Download top-level categories.
My Devices is where you manage content and, thankfully, the interface is clean and intuitive. Clicking Apps, for example, lets you move software from internal storage to a SD card (and vice versa), export Android apps to your computer, import Android apps, delete apps, and install apps from Google Play. You can perform similar functions with Contacts, Music, Video, Pictures, and Messages content, but each category has its own unique features.
The Download section is where you can download content from a variety of sources. There's the obligatory Google Play section, but you can also download content from the likes of Pinterest, YouTube, and Ted Talks (you can also stream video to the desktop). There are sections for Android-related sites such as Android Central and Phandroid, too.
