### 1/5 — This app suck!

*2026-07-12, version 1.0.86*

I now understand why there are so many low reviews: the app is difficult to use for transferring information to a thumb drive. I spent hours trying to figure it out without success.

### 1/5 — PNY should be ashamed

*2026-05-19, version 1.0.86*

I have several PNY hardware devices which have been reliable and well designed. I bought the PNY duolink usb expecting similar results. The usb is fine but to use the usb it is all about the SOFTWARE that works with iPhone. PNY should be ashamed to have such a poor and buggy software associated with their products. Appears they outsourced the software to sell usb hardware and now have a pile of garbage the consumer is left to deal with. DO NOT BUY PNY DUOLINK USB DRIVES  - you will regret it

### 2/5 — Update the app!

*2026-03-09, version 1.0.86*

This works if you have the lightning version, but if you try to use the USB-C version it doesn’t.  Other companies have similar apps that work for the USB-C as well so I wish y’all would pay attention & do the same.  Tech support hasn’t really been helpful other than telling me to manually move them over, but even then if I select all I can’t unless I do them in multiple small batches which is time consuming.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-10-04, version 1.0.86*

Don’t even waste your money

### 1/5 — Constant Crashing

*2025-09-30, version 1.0.86*

Appears to read the usb drive and when the progress bar reaches the end,  CRASHES!  Useless :(

### 1/5 — PNY/DUO LINK

*2025-08-26, version 1.0.86*

The flash drive and app worked well in the beginning and now the app is not reading what I saved on the flash drive. All the pics I saved are not showing. So frustrating and upsetting if I lost my pictures.

### 2/5 — Great device, but the app...

*2025-08-05, version 1.0.86*

I was checking my storage and this app takes up 45GB of space on my phone. If the purpose of the USB drive is to reduce phone storage, why does the app take so much?

### 3/5 — Picture in Picture

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.86*

Please update the app and add Picture in Picture. Please fix this app

### 1/5 — First impression

*2025-04-03, version 1.0.86*

Takes forever to load. I am in a hurry and will try again later. The device has been plugged in and the screen has not changed and still instructs me to plug in the device. I’m starting to think I bought a dud.

### 2/5 — it was working great but...

*2025-02-08, version 1.0.86*

Once this clever gizmo got full, I couldn't empty it! Even after I deleted everything on it, it still says it's full. I might have deleted the files incorrectly using my laptop or something like that but I can't find any way to reset or reformat it-- and when I try and copy files onto it, it acts like their copied but then there is nothing there. Help!?!
