It’s good, but….

All works as it’s supposed to but removing the download feature was a huge mistake!!

I really miss that feature and am shopping elsewhere to find a device that allows downloads.

Auto back up for iPhone

This is a must have for someone who values their photos. My phone constantly backs up my photos. I never have to worry about losing any photos

I love the fact that I can create an album without allowing access to the original pics.
