### 2/5 — iPads 7 problem

*2020-01-25*

I’ve used this app for years and would give it 5 stars for that, but I just got a iPad 7 and now I can’t access my photos on the iPad. 
I can transfer files from one hard drive to another but nothing to and from my iPad.  
Please fix the problem! I have 4 of them I use all the time. 
Now I’m stuck.

### 2/5 — Used to work

*2017-12-22*

The original MediaShair app was far superior to this new one. Cannot remove subtitles. With new iOS updates, you cannot edit a movie once it begins playing. The control menu disappears and will not pop up. This app needs serious updating.

### 5/5 — Great! Makes best use of my phone

*2016-06-21*

Get the best out of the phone you bought!!
