Nice job, seems to work well. I love airdroid but it annoys me that I am constantly having to reconnect after I walk out of wifi range. If this gets around that issue then I'd swap.

One comment I had is that if I was to download this app on my device, the initial experience could be improved somewhat. The first screen is a login one and it says to go to your website, sign up and come back to the app. I did this on my mobile browser (chrome) and it was a bit clunky to sign up (I had the feedback/need help button hover over the form a bit). Perhaps instead of that, you could have a registration function right in the app? even if it was just a web view with a mobile optimized signup web page loaded. That way I don't have to leave the app.

Not a major thing but thought I'd offer you some feedback.

Thanks for the feedback!

It should get past the wifi range issue, as Shynk was designed with that in mind. It will automatically reconnect when it can (even if that means using 3G).

In-app registration is definitely something I've been planning on implementing, but it hadn't been asked about before, so I hadn't prioritized it.
