### 3/5 — Markierung

*2026-05-05*

Immer wieder werden einzelne Bilder oder kleine Gruppen als „nicht übertragen (gelber Rahmen) markiert, obwohl diese bereits synchronisiert wurden.

### 2/5 — Funziona (in rari casi)

*2026-04-23, version 2.3*

Purtroppo la sincronizzazione delle foto su pc, non viene eseguita completamente senza problemi. App che si chiude durante la sincronizzazione, se provo a riaprirla non si avvia. I video rimangono bloccati e l’app va in crash. Quando il display si spegna, l’app si blocca pur avendo attivato la sincronizzazione in background.  Peccato dovrò adottare altre soluzioni per scaricare foto e video.

### 5/5 — Logiciel super

*2026-02-03, version 2.3*

Très complet et actif. Super. Je suis très content

### 5/5 — Une fonction bien utile

*2026-02-02*

Une fonction fiable 
qui simplifie le transfert de mes photos depuis mon I-Phone
 Je dirais indispensable 
Guy

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work with Photo Studio Ultimate 2025

*2025-12-19, version 2.3*

Not able to find my ACDSee PSU 2025 running on Win 11. QR code doesn’t work, manual entry either. I think one may need a subscription to some other ACDSee product.

### 5/5 — Mobile Photo Sync

*2025-12-01*

This program is awesome, it’s fast, give you control to pick and choose. And it interacts fully with ACDSee photo management programs

### 1/5 — Unzufrieden

*2025-10-01, version 2.3*

Funktioniert nicht mit ACDSee Photo Studio Home 2025.

### 5/5 — Naja

*2025-07-31*

Leider ist das Synchronisieren reine Glücksache.
Aktuell erkennt er noch nicht einmal den Hauptrechner, der noch vor ein paar Wochen kein Problem war.

### 5/5 — Easy Transfer

*2024-12-14*

No wires!  No temperamental connections!  Just need to be on same network.

### 1/5 — Always Fails

*2024-12-03*

I’ve tried this on half a dozen phone and it almost always fails to finish the backup. Sometimes I can find the file it doesn’t like and delete it. Then it will run out in until the next problem. The app would be good if it worked. But I’ve found it a complete waste of time.
