### 1/5 — Worked for a very short time on iPad

*2019-11-26, version 2.7.7*

I purchased it a while ago for an iPad/phone, since not much was available for those devices. It worked for a very short time only. I hope it is not being sold anymore, because it does not function at all, not even on the very device it worked for a brief time.

### 1/5 — Outdated software.

*2019-11-12, version 2.7.7*

iPhone X with IOS13 and its telling me my phone is out of date? Something is very wrong. 
After many attempts Monster fails to work!

### 1/5 — Cheap product

*2018-10-12, version 2.7.7*

The app crashes and the plastic fall apart.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2018-04-20, version 2.7.7*

The last update killed the app. It no longer works in conjunction with the photo fast HD memory stick/i-stick. This was the best device I had for my i-devices, Up until the last two updates which rendered the memory stick useless.

----------------------------------------
**** please fix the app **************

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not Compatible with iPhone X with Monster Digital

*2018-04-09, version 2.7.7*

This app does not seem to be able to recognize a Monster Digital iX32 device when attached to an iPhone X. Fails to get past Initializing. The one and only time the app got past it. It said that my empty iX32 was 100% full.  This app works just fine on my iPhone 6 with the same iX32 attached.

### 1/5 — HD drive

*2018-03-05, version 2.7.7*

Will not work after last update
