### 1/5 — Top menus are not functional

*2023-01-23, version 1.8.9*

I’m still using this classic app with GNARBOX 1.0 when it needs. Can you please update to make top menu part functional? I can’t exit once I enter tutorial menu. No way to exit. All top menu buttons are overlapping with iOS clock and internet connection bar. Closing app doesn’t work. I’m stuck there. Using iOS 16.2, iPhone 11 Pro.

### 1/5 — No longer works with IOS

*2022-02-24, version 1.8.9*

This was a great little tool and app for those of us on the go.  Could add memory cards, thumb drives, USB hard drives and access them via Windows, MAC or IOS device.

No longer is the case with IOS device.  When later revisions of IOS, you can still access the device via WIFI and software seems to work.  That is until you try to see old folders, files or create new files for pictures or doc.  This capability was lost with some of the more recent IOS updates rendering the Gnarbox 1.0 hardware and application useless.

### 1/5 — Worst product I ever owned management never ever cared (they just continued with 2.0

*2021-11-23, version 1.8.9*

I owned gnarbox from the point it was suppose to interface with luma fusion . I was so excited and hopeful at the time  , but this turned out to be completely dis functional product  . I later started calling the company  , emailing tech support , in the hopes that they would resolve everything (anything) they had promised , but no !! 
I even spoke to the owner , who would have been much happier if I wouldn’t have been bothering them and their tech support crew ,, truly sad company 

gnarbox , I told you then , this would be the outcome , other people would snap to your dishonesty with this product  …here we are , now and look ,and  it’s not over !

### 1/5 — Wasted my money with this piece of junk!

*2021-02-13, version 1.8.9*

Piece of junk!!!

### 1/5 — Company doesn’t keep its word

*2020-05-28, version 1.8.9*

I bought the a few years ago on their website it said camera was supported! Oh wait it cuts off on mobile version sorry we will fix that! We are coming with a new update to support your camera but we are busy working on ver 2.0! 6 months later we are still working on it but if you want to trade in your old one we will give you a small discount so you can pay for our over priced new one, but the update is coming! 2 years later not one update nothing! Oh and just Incase you don’t believe me I still have the emails with all their lies about continued support and the supposed update that never happened! 100% dishonest people!

### 1/5 — Completely abandoned product.

*2019-09-29, version 1.8.9*

Completely abandoned product. To make way for there 2.0 box. What ever happens to keep omg the old one alive? This was not a cheap product, and to only have active support for a year... it’s sad to see people be ripped off like this. I hear the 2.0 box is great, I would have gladly upgraded had they not done such a bad job at fixing the software for the 1.0 oh well money down the drain.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-09-04, version 1.8.8*

Extremely unreliable. When it works it’s slow to load. Unfortunately, this is a waste of money. Good concept though.

### 1/5 — Keep your word!

*2019-08-29, version 1.8.8*

Keep your word!

Support Gnarbox1 with the features you promised!

### 4/5 — Very Useful, but needs Landscape support for the Ipad

*2019-03-02, version 1.8.8*

I love this tool for traveling, I’ve converted to only using the Ipad Pro as a working device on photo editing, Video editing, and Digital art when I am traveling. The Gnarbox has been a godsend as a work around for the file system limitations on IOS, the only thing that bugs me about the app is there is no Landscape support. It’s a small gripe but it would save so much more time in the long run for people like me.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money on first device

*2019-02-04, version 1.8.8*

I find the first gnarbox works very poorly. Considering the money spent on this overrated device I’m very disappointed. There are other alternatives that work far better for a fraction of this device. It now is an expensive paperweight. Do yourself a favor and do some research before purchasing a gnarbox. In short, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
