Не видит устройство, микро sd карта. Айфон 7. ### 1/5 — 何も出来ない *2022-08-11, version 3.1.1* 買って損した。 追加も出来なければ、バックアップも出来ない… なにこれ… ### 3/5 — microSDの読み込みがうまくいきません *2022-01-30, version 3.1.1* 時と場合によりケーブルを接続しても ならない時があります、 対応お願いします ### 1/5 — Can someone from the company please help? *2020-10-09, version 3.1.1* I can SEE the videos from my dashboard camera, but there is NO way for me to SAVE/EDIT/USE and FORWARD them to my movie maker. How do I do so? ### 1/5 — Very Frustrating *2020-08-13, version 3.1.1* There are no instructions that come with this app. There is a place that you can go to under settings that says “Help” then “Quick Starter Guide” WELL.... nothing comes up. Page is blank... no help at all. Then there is a FAQ that doesn’t come up either. I bought this for my deer camera SD card. Thought I was going to be able to take it to my hunting site and see what photos I got. But nope, I wouldn’t recommend buying this at all! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-02-15, version 3.1.1* I am plugging my Delkin Devices device into the app, and it’s not even reading the card. It’s been connecting (after 3 tries) pretty constantly but now it’s not even working after 20 tries. The app also crashes way too much when saving photos, which is frustrating because you have to go back and save them again just for it to crash again. There has never been an experience with this app where everything went right. Good idea of an app though. ### 3/5 — Great transfer quality but app keeps crashing *2020-01-19, version 3.1.1* I’m a photographer and I use this to load pictures onto my iPad, very handy don’t know what I’d do without it. Only the app crashes quite frequently, often while downloading and processing content which is quite inconvenient when you spend 5+ mins waiting one the pictures you need to load only for it to crash during the download, please fix this bug I’m dying here. ### 3/5 — ADR-IPLSDWでの動作 *2020-01-11, version 3.1.1* iPhone6、iOS12.1から動作不安定。 iOS12.2以降、動作せず。 諦めてましたが、iOS12.4.4にバージョンアップして、確認したところ、SDカードとmicro SDカード+SDにするアダプタで動作しない。 数回の確認ですが、micro SDカードのみの接続では、正常に動作しました。 SDもmicro SDもXC I、class 10の32GBと64GB SDも動作するように対処して欲しい。 ### 1/5 — 升級後無法使用 *2019-12-25, version 3.1.1* 上了 iOS 13.2 插入 Adate 讀卡機認不到裝置 ### 1/5 — 讀卡機無法連接上 *2019-12-03, version 3.1.1* 買了讀卡機，用IPhone X 不曾連接過，使用你們家的讀卡機是要有什麼秘法嗎？難用到爆炸勒。可以請專業的來教一下愚蠢的我嗎？ ## Frequently asked questions about PowerDrive ### What devices does PowerDrive support?
