Actually Unusable

This app is hasn’t been updated in 4+ years and is a complete mess on iOS 15.6.1 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Any navigation in the app’s menus fails to clear the UI completely and leaves “buttons” (well, icons, since they just straight up copied the material component library at the height of its popularity with next to no customization) overlaid on top of the new view. Aside from this making navigation icons completely unrecognizable, it also prevents you from tapping them - hopefully the feature you needed was within one tap of the home screen!

It’s a little bit sad that WD/Sandisk abandoned this product. The hardware is really interesting, and if it could actually be used as a NAS it would instantly find a home in millions of peoples’ home media setups, 3D printers, etc. Oh well.

Abandoned app

This app wasn’t perfect but it used to work. Now Sandisk has abandoned the product and the software doesn’t look like it will be updated to work with current iOS software. This means it’s less function than when I bought it because now it won’t stream movies which is the reason I bought it. I tried using their help website and it was clear by their first response that they didn’t even read my email. The second response was, 🤷🏼, because they aren’t pursing this product. They suggested reformatting and putting on the new driver. It didn’t work.

Somewhat works

The app is good except for the fact that the back button doesn’t work. You can go into a folder but once in that folder you cannot go back to the main screen and select another folder. You have to exit the app every time you want out of a folder. Please fix this! Other than that the app and stick work perfectly.

Videos only play sounds

!!!!! We need a update ASAP!!!!!!

Suddenly for certain videos that use to play now it only play the sounds for that particular video. Time for new update to fix that ASAP. Make Apple TV version and also we want to see battery life icon for iPhone and iPads for the thumb drive.

What happen Sandisk!?!?

I have several of your older products and find them exceptionally useful including it’s associated application. I was excited to get this new drive! Was excited turned into disappointment, the hardware is just a flash drive, best usable by connecting it to a USB port!
The wireless segment is unreliable but does connect easy. The application is pitiful, not only just pitiful but a brand name shameful release! The page headers over lap, changing pages does not work except by closing the application and reopening. There is no way to identify what files is present on the source device as in your other previous applications, transfers are unrealistic and also unreliable. ADVISE TO OTHER GEEKS, LEAVE THIS (hardware) IN THE STORE!
