Helpful but lacks older devices

Really helpful to keep an eye on storage space requirements. Just sad that older devices like Ki Pro, Ki Pro mini and Ki Pro Quad are absent from the device selection.

Crashes with iOS 17.

This was a handy app for checking run time but crashes now. Was inputting a 240 gig drive and then went to select other functions and it instantly crashes. Deleted and reinstalled but no happiness. Sad, was helpful while it worked.
