It could also do with some upgrades to processes such as moving and renaming files ### 4/5 — Отличное приложение *2025-01-21* Все супер 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Очень удобный в пользовании ### 3/5 — Seems useful *2025-01-05, version 8.6.5* I would like to use it more, but it Crashes when you try to buy pro version. ### 4/5 — Seems cool but add 3 more features and it’ll be cooler *2024-07-29, version 8.5.29* I’ve got this app to see if I can use it as a media/music player. It does exactly that and I love it. However when you look at the playlist it’ll not have the cover album on the icons, nor when your using the music player. The last feature that would be amazing is to implement this music player for mp4 (or just video format) as well. ### 3/5 — PRECISO SOLUCIONAR MEU PROBLEMA *2023-10-28* Tentei olhar no suporte mas não consegui retorno Estou tendo problemas como app, quando vou pra compartilhar fotos no Instagram ele trava. E eu preciso justamente dessa função Para o meu comércio ### 4/5 — Happy with purchase of app, but.. *2023-04-14, version 8.4.0* What would make Phone Drive perfect is the addition of two buttons that would allow thee user to skip audio playback ahead by 30 seconds, and reverse by 15 seconds. Your app has many advanced features.. I’m shocked it doesn’t have this basic one that all good players have. I’m sure you’ll add it eventually and when you do I’ll change my rating 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Bien. *2022-11-28* Merci. ### 2/5 — Good app but upgrade banner annoying *2022-10-23, version 8.2.1* After buying the “ad free” update, it is incredibly annoying to have a bright green advert to ‘go premium’ splattered on the screen. Remove this to the settings section and the app will be five stars all the way. If you click on the ‘go premium’ button, the page offers a ‘no thanks’ option but then totally ignores this choice by continuing to force the green upgrade advert in your face. Also, why put the iCloud behind a paywall? Refund time as this is all too frustrating. ### 1/5 — Payment is required to upload files now *2022-10-22, version 8.2.1* I’ve used Phone Drive for a while and now you have to pay to upload files. I recommend switching to Air Transfer. I think you get to upload unlimited files on AT…not 100% however. ### 1/5 — It was the best *2022-10-20* After the last update the managed to: . Create a non intuitive web ui for file transfer . Corrupt files when downloading to computer . Save gifs as static images when recovering images saving to camera roll . Not save all selected medias Now I have over 2k medias stuck in the app I can't remove without a headache. I tried getting in touch with the developers and got nothing back. ### 1/5 — New update absolutely broke this app *2022-10-17, version 8.2.1* This app was perfect. But ever since the new update it’s basically broken. I can’t import files, and it doesn’t even ask for a password when I come back. Very disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nicht brauchbar *2025-06-02* Sehr aggressive, NICHT entfernbare Werbung verhindert eine Nutzung der App Ein Stern ist noch viel zu viel. Ständige Aufforderung doch in den Zahlemann& Söhne Bereich zu switchen! So nicht, Leute! Aufdringlich, nervig und null Funktion….🗑️ Weg damit wird direkt wieder gelöscht!!!! ### 1/5 — Difficult to uninstall (warning spyware on your phone!!!!) *2025-04-27, version 8.6.12* Do not install!!! ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar *2024-01-19* Zum einmaligen Kauf animiert und für die iCloud Einbindung dann trotzdem nochmals Premium Kauf das ist nicht ehrlich ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-09, version 8.5.8* Does not work ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-03-23, version 8.2.10* I had the free app before and it worked perfectly fine. Now that I purchased the app it doesn’t work. I’ve tried several times using transferring photos using Wi-Fi between my iPhone and laptop- it doesn’t work period! My rating may change but don’t waste your money until they have the kinks worked out. ### 1/5 — Es war mal gut aber leider … *2023-02-15* Keine Funktion zum einspielen von neuen Dateien möglich egal ob wifi , Kabel , sonstiges. Mann soll immer einen *pro* Account machen . Das war mal anders !?! Für mich nicht nutzbar und von daher sinnlose App, wenn ich eine App laden kann sollte sie auch nutzbar sein. Zumindest sollte die Nutzung nicht im Nachhinein so unsinnig werden. Sry. aber eig gehört sowas abgestraft (rechtlich) Von daher Glückwunsch zur 1 Sterne Bewertung für zumindest mich nutzlosen Stück Software. ### 1/5 — Wifi Verbindung *2023-02-12* Seit dem neuem Update stellt sich kein Verbindung zwischen iPhone und Computer über wifi. Was ist das für ein Update - was nicht besser, sondern schlechter macht? ### 1/5 — Robbed! *2022-12-04, version 8.2.4* I paid for this app and now you’ve made it a free version with ads!? ### 1/5 — Unusable garbage *2022-11-20, version 8.2.3* And of course , the app makes you do the purchase , and after can figure it out, it won’t even work!!! ### 1/5 — long time users have to pay double *2022-11-04, version 8.2.2* Ive been using this app for more than 2 years now, I paid for the premium version at the time and it was a one time payment. Now the apps media player is awful for free because they changed their app and I refuse to pay for the new subscription model when I paid for it 2 years ago full price and now the features that i paid for were taken from it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works well as Intermediate *2025-12-31, version 8.6.29* It does a decent function serving as an intermediate holding area for many of my files. It does have a peculiar behavior however of shutting down lately whenever I send a pdf from another app to it ever since the latest iOS update. But it still works. I just need to relaunch it (w/no loss of content) to continue. ### 5/5 — Спасибо за работу! Молодцы *2025-05-05* Очень удобное приложение. Пользуюсь много лет. ### 5/5 — Здравствуйте *2025-03-21, version 8.6.10* Сделайте пожалуйста чтобы выбор файлов возможно было сделать свайпом , а то приходится по одной штучки нажимать на каждый файл ### 5/5 — Excelent! *2025-01-26* App ### 5/5 — YOU ARE AWESOME *2024-12-02, version 8.6.4* thank you so much for making this app! your $3.99 worth it and it save a lot more money to back up data…. no need to have itunes app or no need to buy icloud photos storage anymore…. ### 5/5 — Честный отзыв *2024-05-31* Отличное приложение!Пользуюсь уже много лет.Использую как плеер для музыки и просмотра фильмов.Всё очень удобно и просто.Можно создавать свои папки для удобной сортировки.Пять звезд однозначно! ### 5/5 — Удаление файлов *2023-11-26* С поставленной задачей справился уже вижу как работает клавиатура , можно обращаться за помощью!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great way to transfer files *2023-05-31, version 8.5.2* One alternative way of transferring files in/out of iOS devices. ### 5/5 — Useless purchase. *2023-01-24* Purchased premium version by paying Rs 3099/-. Not serving any purpose I cannot transfer the data from my iPad to iPhone by any methods. Tried Wi-Fi transfer, nearby file sharing and cloud method. Nothing works. Wrote to the developers. No reply has come so far ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-10-03, version 8.2.0* Very very useful for the church --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
