Not allowing rotate screen to landscape.

### 4/5 — Gut.

*2024-01-10, version 1.2.0*

Bitte Update für aktuelle iOS.

### 3/5 — Need an update

*2023-05-14*

The last update was 5 years ago (for iOS 11), it needs an update for iOS 16 for full screen view on modern iPhones

### 3/5 — Na šířku

*2023-02-23, version 1.2.0*

Nelze přehrávat videa na šířku. Jinak vše OK.

### 4/5 — 使い勝手がいい

*2022-09-07*

こちらのアプリとメモリを使い出して4年くらいになります。
データの移行に便利で、ずっと使っています。
ただし、大量のデータを移動しようとすると、エラーになり、メモリが使えなくなるという事態がおきます。
動画を大量に移動しようとして、メモリが一つ使えなくなりました。
体感で、写真100枚くらいは大丈夫と思います。

16Gと64Gを使っていますが、64Gは時々反応しなくなります。
差し替えれば反応しますが…

### 1/5 — Dinero tirado a la basura

*2022-05-31, version 1.2.0*

No funciona con el iPhone 13 pro. dinero tirado a la basura si lo compro y no funciona con el último móvil y última actualización iOS. Cuando lo conecto al móvil directamente se desconecta la aplicación

### 1/5 — BAD !!!

*2022-04-26, version 1.2.0*

Total ripoff. This app is for use with the Lexar drive. Spent over $60 on the drive only to find out that this stupid app changes all my pictures from JPEG to an HEIC file making them totally useless. Tried every setting to shut off conversion but there’s no option. The software designer needs to be fired !!!

### 2/5 — Lexar connection error

*2022-04-09, version 1.2.0*

Have been using this app for a few years on my iPhone 6S without any issues. For some reason now when I try to connect it to my iPhone 12 Pro, I get a device connection error. Is there some reason it won’t connect to my new iPhone? Thanks.

### 1/5 — Support —-T E R M I N A T E D

*2022-03-15, version 1.2.0*

Thanks for leaving you customers high and dry 

That’s always a positive thing.

### 1/5 — 最新iOSに対応していません。

*2021-11-20*

使えない商品となります。

### 2/5 — Ich kann keine Daten übertragen

*2021-11-04, version 1.2.0*

Ich kann nur Fotos, Videos und Kontakte auf den Stick speichern. Normale Dateien gehen nicht bzw. ich weiß nicht wie es geht und im Internet steht nichts dazu...

### 1/5 — Device Connected Incorrectly!

*2021-10-25, version 1.2.0*

Device Connected Incorrectly!  Could you please information me his message?

### 1/5 — Junk!

*2021-10-11, version 1.2.0*

Here’s what I found. it may shed some light for others here, that also misunderstood it.
for example, saying works only on specific iOS ver. such as 12, well, it most likely not the case. because I have 12, and it's not working, here is the important part - I used it on my previous iphone with earlier iOS version, and it works as intended. but when connected to the newer device, it's asking permission to access photos, cal, contacts, etc.. and authenticating the drive with no errors on screen and shows up as N/A. tapping on it then says “not connected”. 

support website is useless, sends you to some Apple support page with some licensing issues. the device was purchased on Amazon years ago.

I don't care about this licensing now. it should have been said so, within the first year of use and warranty. Apple's walled garden (monopy) is strict enough, the USB chip allows them to do as they please. this is wrong.

the bottom line is, that it seems to work but not transferable to the next device. 
it might be possible, if all contets backed up to a PC, then formatting clean and reinstalling the device's “OS” (not the App Store app itself), but that's risky, if something goes wrong, you might lose all functionality, or just funtional as regular usb storage.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2021-10-11, version 1.2.0*

It worked well enough in the early days of iOS but as the OS evolved the app was never upgraded and now the company states that it is no longer supported and will not be supported in the future.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-08-09, version 1.2.0*

This is good for nothing ! Three years without any update!!! What an ashame !!!

### 1/5 — 不能用！！

*2021-07-28, version 1.2.0*

什麼裝置未連結？什麼重新開機？按步驟操作了還是無法解決無法使用！騙錢嗎？

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-06-28, version 1.2.0*

The app is quite literally useless as it crashes on startup without fail each time I open it.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2021-05-30, version 1.2.0*

Crashes when plugging in the lightning microSD reader (LMWML-7000) it’s meant to read from.

Lo peor de lo por

### 1/5 — Pésima aplicación

No funciona.

### 1/5 — Useless with Lexar portable ssd

*2025-04-05, version 1.2.0*

Whats the point of this app if it doesn’t even see their brand name portable ssd. Seriously!!

### 1/5 — Does not detect latest Lexar SSD

*2025-01-02, version 1.2.0*

Does not detect Lexar external SSD, even though it shows up in file manager and other apps. Likely not updated for newer SSD or can’t support 2TB+ capacity

### 1/5 — Can’t detect Lexar drives

*2024-12-15, version 1.2.0*

Can’t detect Lexar thumb drives usb-c 3.2 gen1. Files app can see the drive just fine.

### 1/5 — ne marche pas

À quand une mise à jour
Je suppose que si elle est encore en possibilité de téléchargement c’est qu’elle marche sur les vieux iPhone < 7

### 1/5 — Τζαμπα το αγορασα

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2023-03-09, version 1.2.0*

Update the app. The app just crashes when you try to use it. I’d like to use my lexar usb, but the app is impossible.

### 1/5 — Nach iOS Update auf v16.1.2 geht die App nicht mehr!

*2022-12-26, version 1.2.0*

App crashed und Lexar Drive wird nicht erkannt! Support liefert nur schwachsinnige Antworten!

Auf einem Gerät mit iOS 15.7 (altes iPad Air2) funktioniert die App einwandfrei. App initialisiert das Lexar Drive problemlos und der Speicher wird erkannt.

### 1/5 — will not operate

*2022-06-06, version 1.2.0*

is a waste if
time and

### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación

*2024-02-04, version 1.2.0*

Me funciona muy bien no se porque hay tan mal puntuación 🙄

### 5/5 — Has been great for what I need

*2021-11-24, version 1.2.0*

All I needed was an app to bipass iTunes for personal audio and photo files. Makes backup so much easier, love being able to just plug in the Lexar memory stick into my phone and then straight into my computer. Even able to read my e-books/PDFs, though there is no bookmark option or to carry on where you left off unfortunately.

### 5/5 — The best you will ever get!

*2021-01-13*

This lightning flash drive takes some work, but is the best you will ever buy.
I don’t know what idiot would give less than 5 stars.
Sandisk is the worst crap I have ever used if you want to rate it , it’s garbage.
Buy the Lexar and you will never buy anything else.

### 5/5 — Good Job

*2020-10-18, version 1.2.0*

This app does it what I need it to so thank you😎

### 5/5 — Best way to converse with my Apple devices

*2020-08-06, version 1.2.0*

This extremely compact device makes it very easy to add photos, documents, or music to your iPhone or iPad - I love it!
Unfortunately, IOS 13.6 messed it up, and it no longer works on my iPhone 11 Pro.  Still works on my iPad Mini that has not been updated to IOS 13.6.  I put a 1TB mini SDHC card in it - worked fantastic until I updated my phone.  I really love the design of my Apple products, but hate that they don’t have any USB or camera card ports.  This device had solved the problem up until I made the mistake of updating to IOS 13.6.

### 5/5 — Easy to move photos and videos

*2020-02-27, version 1.2.0*

Great app. It is hassle free to move photos and videos from laptop to my apple device and from apple device to laptop. Much easier that the syncing method.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-02-07, version 1.2.0*

Love this app.. works excellent on my Jumpdrive USB.. I love that I can store all my documents and password protect them.

### 5/5 — Ottima

*2020-01-05, version 1.2.0*

Ottima la memoria usb, ottima l’app, soprattutto la possibilità di salvare su Dropbox

### 5/5 — Sad card

*2019-09-14, version 1.2.0*

### 5/5 — Excellente application

Excellente application pour une très bonne portabilité de la musique !
