### 3/5 — не работает

*2026-05-31, version 3.15*

приложение перестало запускаться после очередного обновления ios. iphone11 26.4.2

### 3/5 — Works fine but has room for improvements.

*2024-02-20, version 3.15*

Fast and intuitive. But lacks flexibility, for example it does a good job for “backup” but can’t “move” and doesn’t allow you to work without wi-fi connection, etc.

### 2/5 — 😢 Very poor integration with iOS

*2020-06-20, version 3.9*

The Go drive does not show up in the iOS files app.

You can only transfer from Files to Go using Share.

If you use Share, select multiple files in the iOS Files app, and then tap “Copy to JetDrive Go”,  this app only copies one file to the drive, ignoring the rest. ▫️▫️▫️

To make matters worse, the app has no integration with iOS Shortcuts. In other words, there’s no way to write a Shortcut to take each file and copy it to your drive. ▫️▫️▫️

Updates: 

The app doesn’t support split screen on iPads.

The app’s ‘browser’ doesn’t automatically refresh its list of files and there’s no refresh button. That means it’s possible to download something and then download again because you don’t see it in your list of files. If you do that, the app gives a cryptic message instead of giving you a message that says file already exists .

### 3/5 — Limited

*2020-03-31, version 3.8*

Would like to download more than music/contacts but otherwise simple and reasonably fast

### 5/5 — I love my jetdrive

*2019-10-25, version 3.5*

This little magical gadget is one of the best inventions in the world after the iPad, you have full access to everything. Amazing ,amazing

### 5/5 — Felicidades

*2019-09-18, version 3.3*

Excelente me llega es formidable

### 4/5 — A little quirky

*2019-09-07, version 3.2*

I’m old school.  I like for programs to have similar yet unique progression.  What data you have to search and conform should be easy in each program.  This one is a little different in its ways to do such.  Once you get use to it, it is very good.  The more I play with it, the more I miss it when I don’t have the stick with me.  The program is quite good as said earlier, so I’m nitpicking a bit.

### 2/5 — Annoying

*2019-08-30, version 3.2*

Back up of my IPhone has never been so easy. No Cloud and I am in control of my own backup.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2020-02-19, version 3.7*

Backups fail when using with apples battery case.

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2020-01-09, version 3.6*

Positive side: Better than nothing. Negative side: 1) Doesn’t allow to upload more than one file at a time (I have ~10 000 documents on my phone). 2) The drive’s content is invisible to the iPhone file browser. 3) The app’s local folder is invisible to the file browser (not even sure what is the purpuse of the local folder then). 4) The app doesn’t reload directory content after upload finished. 5) Sometimes silently fails upload without informing me. 6) Filename text colour doesn’t get set properly when scrolling in the browser in dark mode.

### 1/5 — JPEG

*2019-10-18, version 3.5*

Bothers me that files don’t download as jpeg. Any way to change it?

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-06-23, version 3.1.1*

Since updating to 3.1 this app do longer works properly on my iPhone 8. 
Still have version 2.9 on old iPhone not updated working well. 
How can I return to 2.9 on iPhone 8

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2019-05-10, version 3.1.1*

New i pad version 12 os the app does not recognise the go drive 300.

Transcend not helping. The toolbox fix is useless. Seems I have wasted a great deal of money on this product.

Reading comments by others, it seems that this is a known problem that has not been adequately addressed.

By way of a review edit. Transcend support have since been helpful but their fixes (toolbox app) still do not work.

I have returned the drive to them. They have responded to this review by suggesting that I check the product compatibility???(new ipad with latest software)
ipad gen 6(2018) OS 12.2

### 1/5 — Crapy product.

*2018-12-23, version 2.9*

Drive is not detected when plugged into Mac. Can’t access it after use. And no service. Can’t find help.

### 1/5 — Can’t transfer video files in my jetdrive go anymore

*2018-10-14, version 2.8*

How do I fix this?

### 1/5 — Video doesnt play with sound

*2018-06-01, version 2.7*

My jetdrive go is recognizing the drive without a problem, but i dont know why it isnt playing sound. It is an mp4 file and sound is inaudible.
