User reviews

Beautiful software. Just works

I was looking for a way to back up my iCloud photos without giving my password to a third party app.
This is the perfect solution. It gives you the option to back up all of your photos, albums. It includes bursts screenshots and quite literally everything that I could think of.

Super happy to have a local copy of all of my photos that didn’t require a degree in engineering. In fact I couldn’t believe it was so simple to use.

Spendy but worth every penny

Works exactly how you might want it to. I use it to sync pictures from my iphone to my qnap. I have it set to backup photos from an album to a specific directory that I use for a home made digital picture frame.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review! We're happy to hear the app is meeting your needs and that you've found a clever way to use the album-to-directory sync feature for your digital picture frame. Enjoy!

Spent $900 on qnap and it defeated its purpose

What a shame you want users to pay again to backup photos and videos. This is the reason we bought this NAS so we can save money on a longer run. Now you are trying to get more money to backup our phones come on. Looks like i have wasted my money I should have go
For other products. Extremely disappointed with qnap NAS.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your comment and appreciation. Delighted to hear that you enjoy using the app!

Stripping metadata from photos

Use of this app to copy photos & video from my iPhone 15+ running iOS18 is stripping location data. It also copies heif and converts them to separate jpg & dng files. The end result is a lack of context and duplication.

Response from developer

This app backup all metadata, including location. You can configure HEIC to back up only HEIC files, not JPG. DNG files are RAW photos. If you need help configuring the app, please contact us. We’re happy to assist you.
