Ever since I picked up the new iPhone 16 Pro Max. The app doesn’t work.??? what’s going on Ibrary???? ### 2/5 — Slow and freezes constantly *2025-10-11, version 2.12* Hi, can we please get the app fixed to be able to actually look at and manage pictures without it freezing up all the time? I try to delete pics and it freezes every 3 or 4 pictures. Then have to unplug and restart the app to delete two more. Please fix this. It’s not good. ### 2/5 — I'd *2025-06-09, version 2.12* Could be better 2 stars ### 2/5 — Does not work with new 18.1.1 Apple update. *2024-12-03, version 2.10* Will not work with new Apple iPhone update, 18.1.1 When it did work it was great, so two stars. Used to retrieve trail cam photos. Need to update this app to work with current iPhone update. Until then I I’ll search for a new way to retrieve my photos. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone 15 *2024-10-26, version 2.10* This app and reader used to work on my iPhone 12, and immediately upon switching to an iPhone 15 it no longer works. The app has always been clunky, but now it’s useless. ### 2/5 — Braxton *2024-10-13, version 2.10* This worker one time and from after the first time it has not worked. ### 1/5 — Device is faulty. *2024-09-26, version 2.10* This is the 4 or 5th SD card device I’ve purchased at almost $30 dollars. They are junk after a month or so using them. They just stop reading the SD cards and say error. I’m not going to purchase or recommend this device to anyone. I just don’t even write reviews but spent over nearly $ 160. I’m just done with this product. ### 1/5 — Have never seen a picture off my trail cams on my iPhone *2024-08-20, version 2.10* I have several trail cameras, wanted to check them in the field, with my iPhone. For two yrs I’ve never seen a pic off my trail cameras, with my iPhone. Have to take my Ss cards back to the pc at the house. Junk don’t waste your memory on your phone with this app. Just by a lap top. ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-08-17, version 2.10* I had this for a few years and its not working. Is there an actual update that can be downloaded to fix this. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-04-13, version 2.10* Do not buy, it does not work. ### 2/5 — Does not work with iPhone through protective case as claimed *2024-03-27, version 2.10* Have to remove protective case to use device and app. Not sure I trust Chinese app not to spy; it wants access to all my photos and contacts. ### 3/5 — Latest update causing app to crash *2024-03-20, version 2.10* Worked very well in the past, however app crashes when viewing GIF files but still ok with other pictures and video files, is there a fix on the GIF file problem? ### 4/5 — Works *2024-02-27, version 2.9.2* Got the SD card reader on sale at Walmart to veiw my files from my GoPro while out and about on my motorcycle. Works well enough and it'll stay in my riding bag👍 ### 1/5 — Good at 1st *2024-01-28, version 2.9.2* When I first started using it it was working great. Now it won’t read the cards like they don’t have nothing on them but I know they do. I use my home computer and they have plenty of pictures on the cards but I bought this so in the field I could read them on the fly! Very upset and disappointed! ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-12-24, version 2.9.2* IOS update just made my Moultrie card reader and app not connect to each other. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2023-12-13, version 2.9.2* Worked fine but now after the iOS update (I guess) it doesn’t work. Don’t buy. Trash ### 1/5 — Moultrie Card Reader *2023-11-21, version 2.9.2* Junk!!! Tried one last year,it stopped working,got another one this year same stopped working after a few Card reads took one back no receipt for last years,will never buy another and won’t take if they give me one free,total junk!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-03-12, version 2.12* your app is trash every time you use it at first it works fine but then after every time after every transfer, it’s it doesn’t work fix your app ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2025-11-22, version 2.12* The thing is a piece of garbage and doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-11-22, version 2.12* I never leave reviews but this was horrible. The app won’t let you submit feedback and the corresponding card reader doesn’t work at all. Zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Return it. *2025-09-19, version 2.12* Go back to the store and return it. It literally does nothing but waste our time. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-11, version 2.12* Everytime I want to transfer a picture it says Error: no external device ### 1/5 — Does not work!! *2024-11-30, version 2.10* This thing is horrible!! Money wasted!!! It never works, constantly get error message when trying to view images. It freezes up non-stop!! Do not waste you money on this. ### 1/5 — Do not get *2024-11-27, version 2.10* Absolute garbage! Does not work and crashes all the time. I have a dash cam and wanted a program to download videos onto my phone to share to people in accidents or police. App won’t recognize half of my SD cards, and cards it does recognize it only reads 10% of the videos. Also crashes A LOT. It won’t read the majority of the videos. When choosing a video it immediately crashes and resets. ### 1/5 — Fix bugs *2024-11-03, version 2.10* Won’t connect stops working ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize type c port *2024-10-13, version 2.10* Doesn’t work with iPhone 15 with the type c charger. It simple doesn’t recognize the device. Worked fine on the iPhone 13 with lighting audio charger. Tried to delete and reinstall app. Needs an updated version for newer iPhone with type c charger to read sd cards from my moultree sd card reader. Junk app 1 star until it’s fixed ### 1/5 — does not work *2024-09-29, version 2.10* bought this to transfer photos from my digital camera to my phone, did not work at all. could not find instructions anywhere for how it works. ended up just having to use a computer and didn’t use the device at all. waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works perfectly! *2025-03-08, version 2.11* This has worked perfectly for me for a few years now. I usually save files, pics and whatevers to my phone, transfer them to the iBrary and then to my laptop. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — My account is locked, and I need back in? *2025-02-28, version 2.11* Ronald Hester ### 5/5 — Decent!!! *2023-06-21, version 2.9.2* I don’t know what people are talking about! I have used this FREE app for years with a cheap Sd card adapter and have had no problems with it using it for basic photo transfer. It has always worked well tho it doesn’t like raw files ### 5/5 — Not have updates *2022-08-10* Reason why it have not been updated do on my phone picture ### 5/5 — Absolutely LOVE this app !!! *2022-04-11, version 2.8* I’ve stumbled onto GOLD, when I discovered this app!!! I only wish it had Picture In Picture (PIP) feature. ### 5/5 — It’s ok *2021-12-16* I’ll give it a 5 star rating because it’s works just give it a few more tries…. Yes it lags out and yes sometimes it doesn’t read the sd card but it works just give it a minute ### 5/5 — Works as it should *2020-09-22, version 2.6* I’m guessing most of these reviews are from people who are not good with technology. I used this app to view videos from my dash cam that were on a micro SD card. It works as it should! ### 5/5 — One of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded!!!! *2020-02-02* I downloaded this app to View pictures and video From my game camera not only is it excellent For that but The other features are amazing I will use this app to view all of pictures on my phone using this app.. I don’t know why anyone would not love this app... Sincerely, extremely happy ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-10-20, version 2.6* I’m not sure why everyone is giving such bad reviews / bad ratings. My husband and I use this all of the time it’s amazing. I’ve never had a problem. ### 5/5 — Worked great *2019-10-17, version 2.6* Purchased yesterday and used with two separate SD cards worked with no issues. I was able to save photos to my device edit and send. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
