### 2/5 — iOS limitations no longer the roadblock to a useful app

*2025-10-22*

Desperately needs to be updated for iOS 26’s background processing.

### 2/5 — iOS 26

*2025-09-15*

Hopefully with iOS 26 background tasks this app gets a much needed update.

### 1/5 — Slow. Quits out when you move to another app.

*2024-08-24*

Great idea in principle but doesn’t live up to the expectations at all. It’s so slow. Also I’ve noticed that when I start a transfer and then go and use safari or something (as its like watching paint dry) the app cancels the transfer…without any warning. I figured it would perhaps continue where I left off but it doesn’t. Really disappointing, especially given the high price for an iPad app.

### 5/5 — Speeds up my workflow as a DIT

*2023-11-03*

Can quickly offload Sound on set to my iPad to sync audio to dailies throughout the day. No longer have to pester Sound Dept by taking their cards away, can just offload in front of them. Verification gives me peace of mind that all files were transferred… iOS Files app is not reliable for this. Price feels steep considering I’m already paying for Offshoot on Mac.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-01-29*

Well worth the price if you are moving files off media cards on iPad

To the developers, pretty please add some more of the organise options from the desktop version

In particular please the option to ignore folders.

I’d also love the ability to specify what types of files to copy and which not to copy 😊 

Thanks again for this app, it’s excellent!

### 1/5 — Instabil und unzuverlässig - Kein Vergleich zu MacOS

*2022-06-22*

Wir nutzen Hedge seit vielen Jahren auf MacOS und sehr zufrieden. Leider ist diese App für das iPad nicht zu gebrauchen und wird von uns zurückgegeben. 

Die App läuft sehr instabil, wenngleich die nicht selbst abstürzt. 
Vielmehr ist es das Drive-Managment, dass Reader und SSD´s nicht zuverlässig verwaltet. So kommt es reproduzierbar zu Fehlern, die alle Geräte im Kopiervorgang entfernt. Es hilft nur, die Geräte physisch zu entkoppeln, teils sogar aus den Hubs, und anschließend mehrfach wieder einzustecken. Der Transfer ist natürlich dann defekt, kann aber wieder aufgenommen werden(?). Die Dateien werden dann als Kopie in die selbe Ordnerstruktur gelegt und umbenannt..
Sollte es gelingen mal die 99% Fortschritt beim Kopieren zu erreichen, so stürzt die App ab und schreibt kein Log. Man kann demnach nur hoffen, dass der Transfer geglückt ist. Ohne genaue Angabe an dieser Stelle, muss der Vorgang natürlich wiederholt werden. Der enorme Zeitaufwand beim Sichern ist so groß, dass man auf keinen Fall eine professionelle Produktion damit bestreiten kann. Für CFastExpress (160GB) > Samsung T7 = 60min. Für diesen Transfer benötigt ein MacBookPro ca. 6min.

Hier muss dringend an allen Ecken nachgebessert werden.

### 5/5 — The perfect App for any filmmaker

*2022-06-11*

This is the perfect app for any filmmaker or anyone who wants to make sure that your files are copied across without errors. It works so well on my iPad Pro (not M1) and will copy in the field my SD cards to two separate SD drives using a hub connected to the USB port. Then by using LumaFusion I can even view my Canon R6 rushes (directly from the drives) without any transcoding or preparation.
I highly recommend this to any filmmakers who are out filming who want to travel light but want to make sure they have back ups each day of their rushes.
