Requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Mood44 *2011-11-15, version 1.52* Bad app can I get my money back ### 1/5 — No usb transfer without itunes. *2011-05-25, version 1.52* Misleading app description. Needs itunes for usb file transfer. Useless app. I wish I read the reviews before buying this. ### 1/5 — iTUNES SYNC NEEDED *2011-01-25, version 1.1* I plan on filing a complaint with Apple and getting a reimbursement. Despite the description, you most certainly do need iTunes to transfer files. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2011-01-06, version 1.1* Needs iTunes. ### 1/5 — Horrible.... *2010-12-27, version 0* Phone interface is fine, but the computer interface is total BS! Almost completely useless to figure out.... And when you finally do, it crashes !!! Just try to upload a file from the computer and the app closes itself out and denies the connection! Simply the worst dollar I have ever spent.... I honestly can't even envision any hope for this app, even with updates. Be warned. ****update**** previous review still holds water folks! This is complete garbage, the transfer from phone to PC does not work. The http client is still completely useless. If you want an app for these fundamental purposes, then get the "mb drive" .... It works, and wonderfully at that! ### 1/5 — crashes *2010-10-11, version 0* Very buggy, the WiFi transfer crashes on every second file, first one goes over fine, second one, crash. Also, you can't see files at the root level, only folders, you have to move the files into a folder to be able to view it. Lame, wish I would of got a free one, just hoping for the extra features to work, guess not. Not worth it!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2010-10-05, version 0* Can see all my files on the go, protect them and share them the way I want with my friends. No problem at all, works very well, and cost far less than the other similar apps on the store. Got for it ! ### 4/5 — Works as advertised on my iPod Touch 4th gen *2010-10-02, version 0* So far so good for me. I transferred a few files to/from my iPod Touch (4th gen) with no crashing or any problems and it was pretty fast too. I plan to use this for backup up photos without having to sync and use iTunes or even bother getting out the usb cable. ## Frequently asked questions about HardDrive ### How does HardDrive organize files?
