### 5/5 — Love it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-08-31*

The app that I never knew I needed! It’s easy to use with a great UI. Thank you for simplifying my storage and doing it with a quality app! 5 ⭐️

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Here's to a simplified digital life!

### 4/5 — works great but is missing some flexibility

*2024-05-14*

it works great but unfortunately there is a small issue when inputting capacity, and that’s that it only supports capacity in multiples of 2 greater than 16 GB and less than 192 TB, also it would be nice if the ui should how much total storage is available/used instead of just total storage capacity, also you can’t edit a location after it is set and saved, and the button that brings up the online location of an online drive is still active on offline drives, also sometimes clicking on the home brings up the tips menu, and the sorting isn’t remembered after the app is closed

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for your review! You bring up some great points and areas for improvements. Persistent sorting and location editing are all on the list of improvements that (hopefully!) will be available in the next update! The UI will also be better optimized in future versions. Thank you so much for using Bit Buddy!

### 5/5 — But Buddy

*2024-03-16*

Great app!! Use it all the time!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for using (and loving) Bit Buddy! We’re working on some pretty cool updates that should be coming soon!
