### 1/5 — No sync

*2025-12-28, version 2.0.11*

Sadly useless

### 1/5 — Very confusing

*2024-04-10*

Very confusing to use and no instructions available.

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2024-03-21, version 2.0.11*

Nice to have a physical backup option for my photos!.. I don’t know why Apple doesn’t have this option in its OS.

### 1/5 — Corrupt files

*2023-11-09, version 2.0.11*

After I did my back up it did not save the photos correctly. It’s just line codes that I don’t know how to recover them. When I try to use the app it does not recognize the files. Any else had this happen and can help with this?

### 1/5 — アプリの動作が不安定。

*2023-08-21*

セール品として販売されていたので購入しました。
SDカードのデータをそのまま読めるのと、製品のコンパクトさがとても気に入って購入した商品でしたが、アプリの動作があまりにもお粗末すぎる。
横画面にしてるのに横にならなかったり、アプリ自体の動作が重かったり、タスク切り替えて復帰するとフリーズしたりととても使い物にならないレベル。
製品は悪くないのにアプリのせいで全て台無し。

### 5/5 — 为什么不出苹果手机读卡器了呢

*2022-10-18, version 2.0.11*

这款软件是我近20个软件最好用的，可是怎么不出苹果手机读卡器了呢？

### 1/5 — .

*2022-07-14, version 2.0.11*

Doesn’t even work

### 4/5 — No Picture in Picture ?!?

*2022-06-18, version 2.0.11*

Picture in Picture capability would earn the 5th star (Please consider) !!!

### 1/5 — Move pictures

*2022-06-06, version 2.0.11*

It lets you move one picture, then when you try an move another picture the APP shuts down!

### 1/5 — データ飛んだ

*2022-05-22*

5年以上前からの孫が小さかった頃からの大切なデータをSDへ移した後内容を確認したら、SDは6割以上データが入っているとなっているのに、データが保存されていませんって…愕然としてる…
