Will crash your Mac.

Opens all your applications at once and acts generally like malware. Can’t be closed because it apparently operates in the background, not like a normal app. that you open and quit. I would be very wary of this app. Very sus, as far as these types of “helper” apps. go.

Love this HardDrive !

Just have to love all the different things that can be done with this HardDrive !

Buenisima

La aplicación es muy buena lastima que esta un año sin actualizar no funciona bien

Tut was sie soll

Tolle App, tut genau was sie soll, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.

Bad not working

I wish that is show more than the device but its useless

Doesn’t work

App didn't work like they said it would, wasted my money

The bigger the harder the better

Best storage ever

Tons of variations of the same limited customization.

The app lacks options to specify which disks to include or exclude. Internal and external disks are treated as a non-customizable group which is problematic as external Thunderbolt NVMe drives are incorrectly counted as internal. When a disk has several APFS volumes the widgets just show total APFS container disk usage. So all APFS volumes on a disk show equal usage

I have 1 TB of true internal space, but 6 TB of external NVMe is counted as internal. I specifically got this app so I could see how full my 1TB internal is, and know I need to offload stuff. It’s a balancing act because I want my most critical files to stay internal if possible so I’m not dependent on TBT disks when I’m mobile.

The large "list of internal disks" does let me see the TBT4 and internal disks separately, but it doesn’t discriminate for volumes using the same APFS backing store, so if I added just one more APFS volume then this lone useful widget now isn’t gonna cut it.

Suggested improvements:

- Allow ignoring specific disks or filesystems.
- Only show usage of a APFS volume itself, it useless to see the container disk usage on a granular volume view
- Option to display only device capacity, ignoring individual volumes.
- Correctly categorize Thunderbolt disks as external, or allow manual specification
- Increase customization options for widgets, let me specify on a per-widget-basis which disk to monitor

Simple Elegant App that works perfectly.

Purchased after recommendation on Reddit. Perfect customisable app. I tried Usage Pro but I don’t want to build a widget and fuss about with trying to get things straight. This does exactly what I want.

I set its refresh time to 6000 seconds it crashes

Nice to have the ability to see space left

The Macbook Pro does not inherently have a widget which shows how much space is left on your system(s)
This app has really saved me alot of trouble and lets me know when I should be moving files off of my Laptop.
Thank you for all you hard work.

Great Support

Made many tries to fix available space problem...did not give up and got it working.

A very usefull app

Great Job Stefan,

Thanks

useless

shows My HD withing 5 MB of being full yet system settings/storage shows only 153 gb used with 1.84 GB available

Widgets not available

Unable to find widgets on ios 17.2.1

You have one job. One.

The app has literally one thing it needs to do well: display storage info as a widget. After trying with the app author back and forth and a few months past I’m still staring at a white blank widget on my Home Screen.

Response from developer

Hi ben2684@617847748, You rated it 1 star and mentioned that the app does not work. Have you experienced the same issue with the new Hard Disk iOS app version 1.1.5? This version should have resolved the problem. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me at https://www.stefanvd.net/support Thanks,

OK but

doesnt show free disk space but how much space is used.
sounds petty but is not in line to every standard windows and macos. confusing.

taskbar icon shows only one drive.

detailed view doesnt show aligned numbers.

widget problem

I got this for the widget showing free disk space, but the value doesn’t seem to update. It’s different from the free space shown in the app.

Home page widget has disappeared… (updated)

The widget (the purpose of the app) disappeared with the last update. Tried sending a support message but the webpage kept throwing up an error. Going to assume the developers focus was on the new Lock Screen widgets.

Update: widgets back for iOS 15 users a few days later. Revised from 1 to 3 stars. Would be four but the recent inconvenience remains a cautionary tale.
