### 1/5 — No longer works, no response from developer

*2014-10-28, version 1.0.7*

Used app for years then it suddenly stopped working. Tried to contact developer via website but never received a response. Tried deleting & reinstall but to no avail. DO NOT BUY!!!

### 1/5 — new version  - still not good

*2012-12-28, version 1.0.7*

I read the reviews which were all for an older version - there were none for the latest.  Well, now there is.

I purchased this app, connected to the webserver on the ipad, transferred a video, but the app would not offer any other location or app to open the video in.

I hope the author will improve this app to the level of, e.g., moliplayer - which is free btw.

Chalking this up to a lesson (re)learned on my part.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with 4.2 OS

*2011-02-26, version 1.0.2*

mbDrive worked before updating the ipad from 3.2 to 4.2.  It's now useless.  The PC can connect to the mbdrive application, but the mbDrive app crashes immediately when the PC attempts to upload a file to mbDrive.

Attempted to get help from mbPowertools.  Never got a response back.  Hopefully the problems will be fixed.

### 1/5 — Mbdrivehd

*2011-01-15, version 1.0.2*

While the previous version of this application worked as advertised; the latest upgrade does not. You do not see the screens displayed above and it is very cumbersome to transfer files.

### 2/5 — Can't open fines with Pages, Keynote or Numbers

*2010-10-20, version 0*

If you only need browse files, it's ok, ppt and doc files don't display with all formats and images, if you need edit files don't buy this application.

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2010-08-17, version 0*

it does exactly what ii wanted. Downloaded it and installed the app, then connected to the filemanager using brows and then mapped the network drive too.  Now i have 43 gb of space. I wonder if it wa possible to get files from the OS THOUGH.

### 1/5 — CONNECTION FAILED! EVER TIME!!

*2010-08-14, version 0*

This looks like it would be great app for the price, but when I keep getting fail connection every time on my iMac, it was just a waist of money. The help file were no help at all on what could be interfering or what ever. All the help one gets is what is shown here in the app store, BUYERS, look at photo above^, that it!^ 
Please add some possible solution to your help files and I will give a better rating and if I can then get it to work, maybe even a 5 rating. Right now I have nothing and you have my money. WAITING ON YOUR UPDATE!!
