### 1/5 — Poor App, product does not work

*2016-05-11*

Purchased a 32 GB received 16 GB.  App would not load at first had to try three times before it downloaded.  Could not access all my photos.  274 photos were available out of 968!  Contact feature did not work, could not add contacts or back them up.  Was not able to bring over any documents or music.  Deleted app and returning product.  
Side note my phone is a iPhone 6 Plus.

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2016-03-31*

Will not work on my iPhone 6 Plus at all. Worked on my iPad and since my photos copy to my iPad from my iPhone that's fine but would really like it to work for the iPhone too. Really annoying to buy a product and it won't work like it's supposed to

### 1/5 — SD FAIL!

*2016-01-05*

It does not read any files that I copied from my Mac to my Sharper Image 32GB stick. It just gives me an “SD Fail” error! I reformatted stick put files back on and still FAIL. I used SD Formatter and the Disk Utility on my Mac to erase and format and app asks me to allow it to communicate with USB stick and then when App opens - nothing! ..or I get SD FAIL! I’m so DONE WITH THIS!

### 1/5 — Needs to become more useful

*2015-12-28*

This app needs the following to be more useful:
- have an iPad version
- use iOS user interface conventions
- files copied to this app should be copied immediately to the USB stick, rather than in the local app storage first
- it needs to work with any USB/Lightning stick  (not just Omar's)

And: 
- the stick itself is very wide, and does not fit in certain computers alongside other USB cables

### 1/5 — Stop working for my iPhone 6s Plus

*2015-10-25*

The device worked fine when I received it. It worked on my iPhone and iPad. Now it only works for my iPad and no longer for my iPhone. I tried to contact support. I still have not received a email back. I will try iXpand next. No more iDrive for me.

### 1/5 — Why I can download the app

*2015-08-22*

Is there something wrong with your app we can't download them to our phone

### 1/5 — Report

*2023-02-13*

My main menu only shows local storage

### 1/5 — Incomplete.

*2020-11-09*

I want to “Open” an MP3 file on flash drive in my Voice to Text app...can’t do it.

I want to “Copy” or “Move” files on flash drive onto iPad or iPhone...can’t do it.

Two very basic actions don’t work in this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-10-20*

I bought the thumb drive and downloaded the app. It worked exactly one time. I can no longer get my iPhone or my iPad to recognize the external drive. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with IOS 12.4.1

*2019-10-15*

I always loved this drive but then I updated my iPad mini to the latest IOS 12.4.1. And now I can’t view any of the photos on my iPad mini. What good is a drive that you can’t view photos with?

### 1/5 — upgrade plz!!

*2019-04-22, version 1.3.0*

업그레이드 해주세요

### 1/5 — Wont connect to my flash drive

*2018-01-19*

Don't bother.

### 1/5 — Does not work in iOS 11

*2017-06-29*

The app does not support the new file system at all. While the device is read, you cannot see its files in i-Drive.

### 1/5 — Needs "open-in" function

*2016-11-19*

App is useless to get files from flash drive onto iPhone, as you can only open them in the app itself. Would be way more useful if you could open files in other App Store apps.

### 1/5 — Where is the format button inside apps??

*2016-09-18*

Please update,i need to format and transfer my work.what type of exfiles size?do provide now please.your ruining a student money and life here

### 1/5 — I-Drive and Air-2

*2016-05-25*

Just purchased 64gb drive. Installed app on my Air-2, app does not recognize all files. i wanted to copy 8 videos from ipad folder, it only copied four. Cannot select photos icon to download any. Just deleted app and will try again. Not very happy with this app. Looks like no current support.

### 5/5 — Always worked smoothly for me

*2018-01-06*

I’ve used the app since I was gifted an Omars external flash drive for my iPhone. I am that friend who constantly receives the screen notice that I’m low on storage or can no longer take photos! The hardware and the app have both always worked seamlessly for me, and from them to the computer, without hitches.

### 5/5 — Love App. Problem with iOS 10.1.1

*2016-11-07*

Been using app with zero problem till this AM.
Loaded iOS 10.1.1 on iPad Pro 12 and now can't get scans in external storage to load. Can you help. Thanks.

### 5/5 — wonderful!

*2015-02-25*

It’s so helpful. My pictures finally find a storage.

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2015-12-13*

Love this app and the accompanying hardware. But can we get an update that supports newer screen reslolutions, such as that of the iPhone 6/6S and iPad Pro? Split view for iPad would also be awesome.

### 4/5 — Has app storage, works with certain external flash

*2015-10-25*

I downloaded this app to use with an Omars external flash drive for my iPhone and iPad. The app works flawlessly with the Omars drive, which plugs into the Lightning port. It allows me to transfer files between my iOS and my Mac, including photos and videos. 

The app also sports internal storage, meaning you can import files into the app's storage space on the iOS device. One advantage of this is can encrypt the files and actually also hide the encrypted files. Quite handy for protecting your sensitive files. 

I've used this extensively and never encountered a probLem. The interface is a little cumbersome , though.

### 3/5 — Holds non-iTune content, no encryption

*2016-07-30*

The instructions say you can encrypt your files. You CANNOT. Other than that it works fine with non-iTunes media.
