### 3/5 — Asking to turn on notifications

*2026-07-29, version 4.30.2*

The App asks if you want to turn on notifications not once but twice before you can get to the pictures. This is annoying and has been going on for months.

### 4/5 — My cloud

*2026-07-18, version 4.30.2*

Excelente producto de respaldo para mis archivos

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-04-08, version 4.29.0*

Love the picture backup and the inexpensive storage. I wish you guys would bring back the desktop version though.

### 4/5 — Entreposage de données pratique

*2026-03-29, version 4.29.0*

Pratique car il est accessible à partir de n’importe où dans le monde. Cependant il y a une faiblesse non négligeable, c’est lorsqu’on le range (ex: lors d’un déménagement) et qu’on le rebranche après quelques semaines, les données (toute) ne sont plus accessible, l’accès doit nous être accordée par le propriétaire (nous même) via un message envoyé à partir du produit MyHome Cloud, MAIS il est verrouillé. Conséquence, on doit tout reformater pour retrouver l’accès (d’un MyHome Cloud « vide »).

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP :3

*2026-03-28, version 4.29.0*

STAY LIKE THIS YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST BECAUSE THIS IS THE WORLDS BEST APP I LOVE YOU ALL AND Y'ALL ARE SO TUFF AND THE HATERS SHOULD SHUT UP :3

### 5/5 — Great to have except on chrome books

*2026-03-17, version 4.29.0*

The app doesn’t work well with chrome books, if you have a Mac or a windows computer you will be fine

### 4/5 — Need support Apple TV

*2026-03-10, version 4.29.0*

Need support Apple TV

### 5/5 — Very easy

*2026-03-03, version 4.28.1*

I like it 
My cloud home is favourite

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-02-16, version 4.28.1*

I love this product so much. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-27, version 4.28.1*

Great app

### 5/5 — Great back up

*2026-01-13, version 4.28.1*

Great backup with you in control

### 5/5 — Slm

*2026-01-12, version 4.28.1*

Bulutun içine giremiyorum dosyaları göremiyorum Hiçbir dosyam yok şu anda güncellemeden sonra kayboldular

### 2/5 — Authentification code input delay is rediculous

*2026-01-12, version 4.28.1*

Been trying for months to input the authentification code with no result except for a timeout error each time. 5 minutes delay is rediculously short. Other services with 2FA don’t have short a delay like this! Result? I’m not been able to access my drive at all since then.

### 5/5 — Chất lượng

*2026-01-08, version 4.28.1*

Tốt

### 5/5 — chất lượng và độ ổn định

*2026-01-05, version 4.28.1*

dùng 5 năm vẫn ổn. Hàng chất lượng và tin tưởng

### 5/5 — Inexpensive and PERFECT!

*2026-01-04, version 4.28.1*

Thank GOD I had this backup! My phone got crushed on our family vacation but everything was already backed up on my own personal cloud. It backs up remotely and automatically so you don’t need to worry about doing it all manually or be at home for it to work. SO much cheaper than paying monthly for a cloud service like apple’s, too. This app and hardware is a must if you want to protect your family photos!

### 5/5 — Personal iCloud

*2026-01-04, version 4.28.1*

Best way to backup all videos and photos from all your mobile devices without paying for iCloud subscription to Apple.

### 3/5 — Why cannot use properly in computer?

*2025-12-22, version 4.28.1*

Before I can log in easily to retrieve or update the files from remote computer, but now it is complicated ?

### 1/5 — crash while opening the app

*2026-07-26, version 4.30.2*

immediately exit while opening the app, after reinstalling the app, the issue is not solved

### 1/5 — Bought new drive and then they stop supporting it

*2026-04-02, version 4.29.0*

dreadful app, connected as and when it suits and on my iPhone 15 all it does is keep dropping out, backup doesn’t work and effectively it’s. apple of junk. I had two before and upgraded and wish I’d never noticed a any Iomega drive was really
good. This is not much better than a brick and the interface is clunky and not particularly good. Never ever again will I get one of these products

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-12-08, version 4.28.0*

Duplicates photos from iPhone an iPad. Does not handle Google Drive. Confusing; you never know if you are copying from or to. Please redo the whole thing.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-23, version 4.28.0*

1. Not even a NAS
2. Cant check if anyone has login the account and camt remove anyone who has login previously. I dont think it is secure at all. I even think WD developer can access all the image/video in the storage without our consent. The least they can do for the security login is make it Two-factor authentication (2FA). 
3. Cant even upload file thru apps, only images n videos.
4. Doesnt have uploading bar to show the upload progress (by perecentage n file).  
5. I dont think this apps and hardware are secure. 
6. Dont bother to buy anything from WD ever again. They only maintain the apps when ios upgrade their OS. Basically…if ios has no update, they dont even care. (They only update once a year, but if has deprecating any service, they will update twice or thrice a year).

### 1/5 — Дублікат вже збережених даних.

*2025-11-22, version 4.28.0*

Продукт не виправдовує очікування від заявлених якостей. Мало можливостей (обмежений функціонал), працює гучно. 
З нещодавно виявленого і цей недолік дуже мене засмутив, це те, що коли ти перейменовуєш назву телефону, то додаток починає робити резервну копію галереї знов, тобто він не відстежує самі файли чи унікальну назву чи серійний номер пристрою, а лише назву пристрою яку ти руками можеш змінити в будь-який момент. 
І ось, він вже цілий ТИЖДЕНЬ робить ще одну копію (ДУБЛІКАТ) того, що вже було збережено на нього (а це мінімум 250+ ГБ зайвого місця і навантаження на інтернет трафік). І знов таки, ти не можеш навіть припинити цей процес, внести корективи, а є лише опція поставити на паузу. 
Коли надавав доступ до альбомів, то за відгуками, перегляд відображався не коректно, не у повноекранному форматі та з втратою якості.
Охолодження лише пасивне, немає можливості включити додаткове примусово
Вважаю що ціна не відповідає функціоналу (дуже завищена).

Після оновлення додатку, мінус ще одна зірка за те, що замість того щоб збільшувати можливості користувачів, навпаки, ще також прибрали з опціоналу можливість перенести файли з Гугл фото при необхідності.

### 1/5 — 沒有同步

*2025-11-22, version 4.28.0*

已開啟自動同步，但每次入去app 睇每次都沒有備份，要開住app睇住，等它備份完才真係有備份，先能離開app ，激死😤用了幾年都是一樣的，沒有改進亦沒有人可協助。

### 1/5 — A crAPP from a Bunch of IDIOTS

*2025-11-22, version 4.28.0*

I don’t understand what an absurd design this crAPP is.? I’ve been in system development and engineering for decades. WHO ARE THE IDIOTS BEHIND THIS crAPP? In the copy from drive, a user CANNOT SELECT SUBFOLDERS, The UNEDUCATED AND UNCIVILIZED CODERS WHO DEVELOPED THIS crAPP DONT KNOW THERE ARE FOLDER TREE LEVELS. IDIOTS. And the WD IDIOTS HAVE NO BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF DATA STRUCTURES. Absurds..!!! Even on this update they never fixed this issue… UNEDUCATED IDIOTS..!!

### 1/5 — Unreliable up loads

*2025-10-27, version 4.27.2*

I have up loaded files and check that it’s there and the next day it’s gone!

Not impressed. Take hours to up load files with fast internet

### 1/5 — Da ottimo a deludente in un aggiornamento

*2025-10-15, version 4.27.1*

Fino a marzo 2025 è stato un ottimo acquisto: semplice da usare, pratico e affidabile. Poi, però, è arrivata una notizia davvero deludente — non è più possibile collegare direttamente il proprio account Google Foto.
Nel 2025 mi sembra assurdo che un servizio del genere venga rimosso, soprattutto considerando quanto ormai sia fondamentale l’integrazione con più sistemi possibili.
Per questo motivo lo consiglio solo a chi intende usarlo esclusivamente per archiviare file. Se invece cercate un dispositivo anche per gestire e salvare le vostre foto, lo sconsiglio vivamente.

### 1/5 — Problem iphone 17

*2025-10-14, version 4.27.1*

There is a problem when using iPhone 17, please fix it quickly.

*2026-06-27, version 4.30.0*
