### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-12-29*

If you want to import files from your card (particularly on iPad but Mac as well) this is a must have. Super clean and simple interface - you can haul in your files (including raw and JPEG pairs), rename them and save them wherever you want. I usually import on iPad but save on my iCloud Desktop - I can then import the JPEGs to Photos immediately to sift. Then an easy job to go back to my my Mac to pull out the RAW files I want to tinker with. Amazing app - well done!

**Developer response:** Thanks Ben, I appreciate you!

### 3/5 — Nice concept - Has potential

*2024-06-28*

I wanted to like this - a simple, elegant tool to import photos from iphones and camera cards. Something to use instead of Image Capture. The problem is that it's buggy in the sense that there are no labels on the save or cancel buttons and they don't change their state (color, border, greater contrast, etc.) to show that an action can be taken. Additionally you need to hold the command key when selecting random photos to import, which is kind of annoying when scrolling through a single column of thumbnails. It would be perfect if the dialog could be expanded to a wide screen ratio to show more images at a time. The option to rename files on import is good but basic. The date format options are limited and it's not possible to add the date to the end of the image name, only the start.
If these things are addressed, I think it would be a great little utility.
