### 1/5 — Pathetic thumbnail s

*2026-04-24, version 6.14*

Very poor compared to Dropbox iCloud etc

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-10-19, version 6.14*

Can’t just press a download all pictures to my iPhone button . 
Cant delete pictures off it.
Can’t look at all pictures in one place . 
Rubbish 
Stuck using it as no where to download them to

### 1/5 — Crashing every time

*2025-01-25, version 6.11*

Having used this service for years the app is now useless. It crashes after about 20 secs EVERY time I use it.

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-01-20, version 6.11*

How often does this back up

### 2/5 — Pathetic thumbnail s

*2025-01-07, version 6.11*

Very pool compared to Dropbox iCloud etc

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-08-30, version 6.11*

This is useless it only backed up 24 of my photos (I have over 4000 and videos) and you can not back up anything else. Do not buy it.

### 1/5 — Update!

*2024-08-19, version 6.11*

Really struggling with this update my phone just won’t allow me back into the app which is causing me issues, was so easy before just pushing a button, went into store today to be told my iphone is broken (its not) I really wish they could look into why this has happened, i pay £60 a year and i’m so disappointed with it and currys! Spoken to it help but they couldn’t help either, right now i would not recommend this.

### 4/5 — App very good 👍👍👍

*2024-08-13, version 6.11*

What’s planned for the next update? I’ve used this app for two years and I like the way it backups my data. On the next update please could you include copy/move files to different folders. It would help me a lot. Thank you. The app now backs up every photo and video I have synced using iTunes. I thought it was photos/videos in the camera roll only. Now can’t back up files due to no wifi. My wifi is correctly set up. Thanks for app update. Is there a way to include folder creation ?

13/8/24 - When I logged into the app to back my data up, it took me to the Cloud app in Settings! Why ?

### 1/5 — Poor update strategy

*2024-08-03, version 6.11*

Hasn’t worked on my iPhone 11 Pro for months since a previous iOS update. Unless there is regular monitoring of operating system updates to check the app still works it’s not worth the subscription

### 5/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-06-28, version 6.11*

Have been very happy with this app but it now keeps crashing on my old IPhone 8 Plus.
Any solution??

Peter
