### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2025-08-22*

I received a message. myDelkin card reader. requires too much power. Pretty basic unit.

### 1/5 — Didnt work

*2025-07-23*

Didnt let me upload photos from my Sd card. Wasted my money on nothing.

### 3/5 — Gute Idee, leider unzuverlässig

*2024-04-27*

Die App füllt eine Lücke: die Fotos-App von Apple kann von externen Kameras (ggf. über Adapter) nur in die Fotomediathek importieren und dann ggf. von dort aus wieder woandershin exportieren. Mit dieser App geht das in einem Schritt, also z.B. direkt von einer DSLR aufs heimische NAS oder auf einen USB-Stick - ohne irgendwelche Format-Umwandlungen (ob dabei auch RAW-Bilder kopiert werden können, habe ich nicht getestet).
Aber leider hat es mit meiner Canon-Kamera immer nur für ein paar Bilder/Filme funktioniert, dann brach die Verbindung zur Kamera ab, und/oder die App stürzte ab. Sowohl am iPad mit iOS 15 wie am iPhone mit iOS 17, sowohl mit original Apple Lightning-USB3 Adapter wie mit einem günstigen China-Teil. Wenn die Verbindung zur Kamera überhaupt funktionierte, denn sehr oft blieb das Auswahlfenster trotz erkannter Kamera einfach leer (hier scheint der Zufall zu regieren), obwohl Apple-Fotos die korrekte Verbindung bestätigte.
Wie der Abgleich neue vs. schon importierte Bilder funktioniert, ist auch unklar, auf jeden Fall wird nicht immer korrekt mit dem Inhalt des aktuellen Zielordners verglichen und dementsprechend ausgeblendet.
Fazit: Gute Idee und die 1,99€ wären auch ein angemessener Preis dafür - leider aber (jedenfalls mit meiner Kamera) in der Praxis unbrauchbar, da zu unzuverlässig. Für mal eine Handvoll Bilder schnell zu transferieren geht's aber immerhin.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-08-12*

At first I thought this was going to be a great app. But after trying to use it to import a large number (100) of RAW files I found it keeps crashing after copying about half of them.

### 2/5 — zu rudimentär um einen Mehrwert zu bringen.

*2023-02-03*

Bis auf das Histogramm, dass meiner Meinung auf der Stufe der Bildverwertung keinen Mehrwert liefert, kann das Programm nichts, was Fotos app von Apple nicht auch kann. Zwei wesentliche Funktionen fehlen mir um es zu benutzen: Gezoomte Detailansicht und ganz wichtig, löschen auf der SD Karte. 

Immerhin es tut was in der Funktionsbeschreibung steht. Aber das kann „Fotos“ auch.

### 3/5 — It has a lot of potential but the rough edges are too rough

*2022-12-25*

I have to update my review, I really want this app to be great. There is no other app that simply does what needs to be done: copy image files from my camera to the Files app (either local or sync to iCloud).

BUT it isn’t reliable. It works when importing dozens of files, which is what I tested with on my original review. But now that I’m traveling and have hundreds of files each day the just can’t handle it. I select 200-300 files to import, and it starts copying then it crashes at every 20-30 images that are copied. I’d have liked to share the crash logs with steps to reproduce with the developer—instead of this tech-support-over-reviews—but there isn’t a way to contact them that I found (anywhere, literally no online presence or option inside Settings to send an email or something).

Also an update from my original review, there is a great way to select a bunch of photos to import but it is hidden. You have to group the files by date, then each section will have a label “Select N photos” that you can click to select them all.

I really want this app to be great, I’m not joking. There is no other app that comes to close to the simplicity and quite literally the perfect set of features I’m looking for.

Original review:
The app does what it is expected: import files from camera/SD card into Files while avoid already imported ones. BUT you can only select one image at a time, it definitely need (1) a Select All button, and (2) a gesture to select contiguous files.

**Developer response:** Dear Mr. F reviewer. Thank you for your feedback!  I will add your suggestions to my list for the next update. At least a „Select all“ button should be feasible. Benedikt

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2022-10-14*

I haven’t managed to get this app to do anything. Waste of my time and money.

**Developer response:** Dear fifigrrl. Thank you for your review. We‘re very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our app. If you like, contact us via mail (App Store > Image Capture Go > app support). We‘ll try our best to help you and resolve this matter. Hope to hear from from you soon. Benedikt
