Images in the App store not in the app request refund after 5 minutes. ### 5/5 — Excellente application ! *2026-02-28* Application très bien faite et surtout elle est compatible avec iCloud ce qui est ce que je recherchais car, de cette manière, on a le catalogue de tous nos disques. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-08-18* I was able to see my catalogs in my iPad. Not anymore. Since the Mac OS updates the little functionality this iPad app had is now gone. I believe it is important to fix this iOS app, and I really, really, really hope that you are capable of fixing it. ### 3/5 — Get the Mac version, iPhone app not ready *2024-02-09* Struggled to get NeoFinder to work on my Iphone. Downloaded the app to my phone, but it opens blank. I had to manually find the Library files created on my Mac and drag them to the connected iPhone library folders. This took to much time to figure out. Once everything is working, all I could do is search. I could not add notes, tags or make new albums like I can on the Mac Application. I don't really see the purpose of this app in its current state. I would like to create a catalog of my artwork wth Neofinder using my iphone or ipad. Currently this can only be done on the Mac Application which is excellent. ### 5/5 — iCloud Sync? *2023-10-10* Hello, just wondering: I have a Neo Finder folder in my iCloud, but the app doesn’t use the cataloged files in it. Do I need to manually open them one by one for this task? Maybe I am doing something wrong? ### 1/5 — Fails to correspond, removed access, & kept money *2023-05-06* Beware! After many months with NO response from developer attempting to communicate with him on Neofinder MacOS 8, he kept the money & removed my license to it. I had been using his product from previous versions but it seems he has no loyalty to his customers. This is just a warning for those of you thinking of using this app which necessarily links to the MacOS counterpart. ### 3/5 — Eigentlich nicht schlecht, aber… *2023-02-14* …habe meine digitalisierte CD Sammlung eingelesen. Wenn ich nach einem Ordner suche, werden mir die Ergebnisse auch schön angezeigt, aber klicke ich auf ein Ergebnis, werden mir nur die Ordner Informationen angezeigt, aber das Programm springt nicht in den Ordner Inhalt um die einzelnen Tracks des Ordners zu sehen… ### 3/5 — Gut mit Luft nach oben *2022-12-11* Neofinder für den Mac an sich ist schon echt klasse. Die ios App dazu ist etwas rudimentärer, allerdings muss man auch sehen, dass nahezu kein anderer Anbieter überhaupt eine App anbietet! Super find ich: + QR Scan um Inhalte von Festplatten zu sehen + Kataloge mobil durchsuchen + Anzeige von EXIF-Daten Was ich mir sehr wünschen würde: - Spaltenansicht und Symbol/Kachelansicht - Editierende der EXIF-Daten - Mobiles Tagen - direkte Synchronisation der Datenbank - Kopfzeile ist im darkmode hin und wieder weiß, das stört etwas. Was gar nicht funktioniert: Die Integration von Dropbox (Verbindung oder Import abwechselnd nicht möglich) Ansonsten sehr gute Arbeit, weiter so! ### 1/5 — No iCloud???? *2022-03-24* Só Dropbox? ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2021-11-27* Description clearly states that this app is now available on for iOS. What it does NOT tell you is that you need a Mac and everything about this is for a Mac ( another purchase) to make it work. It is NOT a stand alone app and does nothing for you without the Mac. It should be more clear on what this is and the requirements. **Developer response:** Actually, the documentation and the App Store Page explain all of that in very great detail. ## Frequently asked questions about NeoFinder ### How do I transfer NeoFinder catalogs to my iPhone or iPad?
