Doesn’t Work

More than 10 years old and just doesn’t work. Shouldn’t even be on the App Store. Total ripoff.

Broken App

Does not work on Linux for ssh or rsync. Robbing people blind! This app should be banned!

Doesn’t work anymore

The app hasn’t been updated in years, and is not compatible with newer SSH servers, because it relies on insecure encryption settings. Even if you figure out how to enable the insecure encryption on the server (which is a security hole), the app has other random errors that are impossible to debug.

Also, since it hasn’t been updated, it’s not compatible with multitasking. You have to keep it in the foreground to transfer anything (when it even works).

This app shouldn’t be for sale.

Didn’t work on my iPhone 8

This app wouldn’t connect to rsync.net on my iPhone 8. I contacted tech support, but their answer was essentially “it works here.” Well, my rsync account works with Linux rsync on my office computer and a Rackspace server. Acrosync doesn’t use the Linux rsync though: they wrote their own. Maybe that’s a good place to look for a problem. Uninstalled.

Gave up. Avoid

Couldn't get this product to work at all. The UI on an iPad is really really horrible. Looks like it's stuck in the pre-retina days, horrible fuzzy red and ugly huge fonts. Also keeps forgetting passwords. But since it didn't even work at all, just kept producing huge delays followed by the same meaningless error messages, it hardly matters. Must try a lot harder. And some actual real-world testing would be a start.
