Freezes up constantly. Not worth the money. ### 1/5 — This is Chinese Garbage *2023-10-22, version 1.1.3* I got mine yesterday used it last nite worked great except the share or copy might as well not even be an option they didn’t work! Went through the motions line it was gonna then nothing!! So today I was gonna view the pics again and the reader won’t even connect in my NEW 14 pro max! Same phone I used last nite! Doesn’t lite up inside like before as an indicator of power and now connecting to the app!!!! What a joke shame on the USA Midwest company for letting China make this crap for them and selling it to us! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-09-19, version 1.1.3* It just doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-07-28, version 1.1.3* It works once in a blue moon, otherwise 99% of the time it freezes and I can’t get past 5 trail cam pics without it not working. ### 1/5 — So bad *2023-07-15, version 1.1.3* Bought this and man the amount of times I have to close and reopen the app just to watch one video is crazy. ### 1/5 — Craps *2023-06-20, version 1.1.3* Oh, big headache ### 1/5 — Dont buy this *2023-01-04, version 1.1.3* Thought i would give this a try despite all the bad reviews. Turns out all the bad reviews are correct, it didnt work straight out of the box. “Load contents error” several times, then I finally got to see a few pics and then it froze on me. Dont bother with this one. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-12-30, version 1.1.3* Would give it a zero star if I could, waste of money. Works for about 30 seconds and the crashes. ### 2/5 — Decent App but with glitches *2022-11-25, version 1.1.3* When the App works it’s a nice idea. It has nice features and a nice layout. My complaint is the App freezes, crashes and restarts a lot. When I say a lot, I mean every time I use it. ### 1/5 — Junk *2022-11-13, version 1.1.3* This app is absolutely terrible pictures will not down load if I could give this app a negative 5 stars that’s what it would have nothing is more aggravating then wanting to see it you have any new bucks on camera and this piece of junk not loading the picture ### 1/5 — Junk *2022-11-12, version 1.1.3* This only works with Wi-Fi not in the field like they lead you to believe ### 1/5 — 2nd new reader *2022-11-09, version 1.1.3* Factory was kind enough to send a replacement reader, would not connect, same problem as original. I’d look for different options, this AP is junk ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-11-09, version 1.1.3* App is absolutely garbage read one card now just says loading was of time ### 1/5 — Orange reader-Same issues as others *2022-11-08, version 1.1.3* Bought the orange reader and downloaded the app. Have the same issues as many other people. Card won’t read, and when it does the app will freeze from the startup menu or will freeze while looking at pictures. I’ve also noticed the pictures are not in order of when they’re taken, and I find no rhyme or reason of what order the pictures show up. It seems to Load better when you have internet connection which makes no sense and is poor when trying to view pictures in the woods. Would highly recommend avoiding this one. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-11-01, version 1.1.3* Since this company sells a product in a big box store and it requires a application to preform then you’d think constantly providing application updates would be a must to keep up with today’s technology. I purchased the BoneView SD card reader for apple and it’s junk. This application hasn’t even had a update provided in a year. Pretty much just a waste of money. ### 1/5 — One sad app *2022-11-01, version 1.1.3* App chokes, stalls and freezes on my Ipfone. Deserves 0 stars… ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2022-10-25, version 1.1.3* The app has all sorts of bugs, so much so that I am only able to have card info uploaded to the app about every 1 out of every 8 times I try. And when it does load, the app freezes anytime I tap something. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-18, version 1.1.4* Using the iPhone BoneView reader, I can view a very limited number of pictures on the SD card. The app constantly crashes and I have to reload and start over. Terrible performance overall. Very slow and unresponsive half of the time. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — BoneView reader *2025-09-01, version 1.1.3* The led light flashes than goes out ### 1/5 — Worst adapter ever *2024-12-16, version 1.1.3* Don’t waste your money on this. I’ve had 4 different adapters and this is the worst one hands down. Nothing ever loads, the app randomly closes out and half the time it don’t even connect also you have to have WiFi to even view anything so don’t plan on using it in the woods ### 1/5 — No good *2024-09-18, version 1.1.3* Freezes up on middle of pic’s , no good much as pay for it not good enough ### 1/5 — Will not work! *2024-08-25, version 1.1.3* Talked to apple about this app and it don’t work anymore! So I use files app on phone to open SD card! This app bone view is useless and should be removed from Apple Store!! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2023-12-18, version 1.1.3* I wasted money on two and still have to use my laptop to view camera cards ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-12-12, version 1.1.3* Ordered the orange card reader for iPhone. It worked great for a week. Pictures will download slowly but when I try to delete pictures from sd card the app locks up. Tried to delete pictures one at a time still locks up. Was so hoping to have a card reader that was easy to carry. ### 1/5 — Great Product…When It Works *2023-11-11, version 1.1.3* Boneview is amazing…when it works. Great tool for checking trail camera cards. But I think I’ve been through 8 now. They don’t last and quit working every year. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-11-01, version 1.1.3* This app is absolute garbage. All it does is freeze. Can’t even use the app. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-11-01, version 1.1.3* If zero stars were possible that’s what I would choose. It does not work, even after trying all the troubleshooting tips on their website. The device will not connect. Do not waste you time and money. Utter fail. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It never misses a beat *2023-11-06, version 1.1.3* I bought this 5 years ago and still works I would recommend it to anyone!!!😆 ### 5/5 — Connection barely works. *2023-06-24, version 1.1.3* Been using this product and app for three days and have only been able to get it to work once. What a waste of money. Something needs to be done to fix this. ### 5/5 — It’s the best!! *2021-01-21, version 1.1.3* I love the entire package!! It’s so simple to use and the little case is so adorable!! I’m a fan!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-10-31, version 1.1.2* This app works great with the new orange boneview devices. Easy to look at all my trail cam pictures. ### 5/5 — Great product! *2019-09-01, version 1.1.0* My new Boneview SD card reader works great with this Boneview app! I love the ease of being able to view my trail camera pictures wherever I am. Quick and easy to view and manage my pictures in the woods. What a great product! ### 5/5 — Very Happy!! *2019-08-27, version 1.1.0* I absolutely love this card reader by Boneview. It is very easy to use with this Boneview app too. I am now able to view my trail camera pictures right away in the woods. I can even save, share, and delete the pictures from my phone. It makes it a lot easier than having to bring my SD cards home. I would definitely recommend this product! ### 5/5 — Best app for checking trail cams *2019-08-27, version 1.1.0* This is the best app design and user interface for checking trail cam pics that I have found. And it’s free! ### 5/5 — Works great! And amazed at how many confused people are out there *2019-08-27, version 1.1.0* Works great! And amazed at how many confused people are out there when reading other reviews. This app is only custom made for the new orange corded boneview. It seems so many bad reviews are from ppl trying to use this app with the old white boneview that is only programmed for i-flashdevice. I also noticed I can’t have both apps on my phone at the same time or it won’t work. Out with the old and in with the new and loving it! ### 5/5 — App works great with the upgraded Boneview reader *2019-05-28, version 1.1.0* This app works great with their new Orange Boneview Card Readers. View, Edit, save, and share photos instantly from your phone with ease. ### 4/5 — It’s always crashing *2026-01-12, version 1.1.4* Sometimes the app works and sometimes it doesn’t --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
