Solved one problem, created a bigger one.
It did manage to copy over 2500 photos successfully. Paid the $2.99 to remove the original files, but it seems Photos fights back. Now there’s 200gb on my Photos app that can’t be removed. No photos in the app, just a bunch of data that can’t be moved. No option but to go to Apple Support to get this fixed. More headache than it’s worth.

Makes life worse not better :(
Awesome concept and nice design but technically frustrating and unreliable. Review is for paid version. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro. First attempt: Used an off-brand ExFAT formatted thumb drive to do the thing. **It literally bricked the drive.** The drive will now not open on any OS/device type including data extraction utilities. Bad. Second trial: decided to try with an APFS formatted thumb drive thinking toward data integrity. I let it run overnight. It copied a few photos, but failed about 1 GB in. Not okay. Will keep trying and update if it gets better. Otherwise this is an app to avoid.

Not working
I’d like my money back or some help at getting this app working.
Very useful program
I am using CopyThat to copy pictures and movies from my iPhone 15 and my iPad to a USB C flash memory card adapter. It is great to backup photos and allows me to easily copy them to a PC. I like that I can select the date range and can skip existing files. Much easier then trying to connect directly to my PC.

crashes within seconds on new iPad Air running latest ipadOS
Disappointed. I can’t even evaluate this app because I can’t get this app to even run for more than a couple seconds before it hard crashes.
Glitchy app with great features
Loving the design and concept of this app so far. I’ve been successful in backing up a years worth of photos with ease.
I found it worth every penny of the premium price, but find myself feeling frustrated by the number of glitches.
1. The date picker window does not scroll at all, and cuts off the month near the middle. I sort my photos by month of the year, and find myself having to select the 1st of the next month in order to make it work since I cannot select the last day of the month as it is not accessible from the window, and this happens on both iPhone and iPad no matter whether the app is in portrait, landscape, or slide over.
2. The app seems to struggle with backing up photos that are stored in iCloud despite paying for the ability to export photos that are stored in iCloud in the photos library. I find myself having to pull up the photos in the photos app and forcing a download in order for this app to be able to copy it.
3. Crashes. Oh my gosh the number of times this app has crashed in the 3 days I have now been using it is staggering. No idea what triggers it, but it will crash at any point from launching and loading the app to attempting to perform a backup.
Love this app, but it definitely needs some debugging.

Won’t work
Tried to transfer pics off my iPhone to a usb thumb drive. App picks the pics but when I try to choose a destination I get a message saying no documents recently visited. What gives??
Not Happy
Spent 4.5 hours copying photos and a few videos to memory stick only to find that the format of the memory stick had changed and was not recognized by Windows 11 PC. Huge waste of time and $2.99.
Doesn’t work on iPad Pro
Works on iPhone but not on iPad Pro. Also purchased upgrade on iPad Pro and was asked to purchase again on iPhone. I thought the upgrade was a one time purchase.
Simple way to keep a local copy of your photos and videos
App does just as it says. I use my iPad Pro instead of my phone since I can just put a USB C drive in directly. Free version does the job, the small extra one time fee unlocks a few features that are worth the small cost.
The idea here is simplicity. This app is not a full featured backup or copy app. It is a quick and easy way to keep safe local copies of years worth of photos. I don’t trust the cloud alone to keep them for me.
