Broken

Used this for years, paid for it and now they do some pointless update that breaks the one thing I use it for. I can’t backup my pictures to my smb share. Shares don’t show up even though they’re properly configured.

0/10, don’t waste your time or money.

Rock solid app

I used this back in the day and don’t really use it anymore. But I do have family members who do, and it is still rock solid as it was when it first came out.

Loved until it stopped working

I loved it and used it all the time. But since the latest version it has stopped working with my windows machine. Android phones work fine but my iphone will no longer transfer photo. All trouble shooting gas not fixed it. Very frustrating

Beware

I didn’t know the free version transferred low quality versions of your photos and videos. I always like to see if an app works before I buy it because I have paid for too many that don’t work well and have no support.
So I used the free version and just found out that it sabotaged all my photos and videos that I transferred and now I don’t know which ones were downloaded in low resolution and I have to waste a lot of time re-downloading all of them.
I will be using a different app for it though.
