### 1/5 — An update is truly needed

*2020-08-18*

Within using this app, I haven’t been able to transfer much of anything over from my phone to my usb. Even if it’s just 1 video or 1 photo, within the process of copying it onto the usb, instead of actually loading the video or photo onto it and showing the mb/kb, whichever it may be, it immediately skips to “0 mb” and shows that it’s successful. Upon looking at said photo or video on my usb, it shows 0 mb too, which basically is the same thing not being transferred as it’s an empty file. I’ve also checked on my computer to see if it was an issue w/ the usb, but the files from my computer transferred very quickly and easily over to the usb. I really hope that something can be done to help resolve this issue

### 1/5 — Lost photos

*2019-05-24*

Downloaded pictures off iPhone about a year ago, trying to 
Retrieve them it says cannot detect lightning drive .

### 5/5 — Quick copy of 4000+ pictures and videos

*2018-09-02*

I was surprised how quickly it backed up my wife's IPhone with 4000 + pics and videos to the USB drive.  Worked really well.

### 1/5 — Backup unsuccessful

*2018-04-14*

I bought the QShare for my iPhone X. When using the app to backup photos, all I get is “Backup photos unsuccessfully” all the time.

I don’t read/write Chinese so I cannot contact support on the developer’s website.

Very disappointed.

### 4/5 — Improving with latest update

*2018-03-12*

When I first tried Qshare it had some issues. However, I suggested some additional features and improvements through emails with the developer (which they actually addressed). The latest app update has incorporated some of my concerns and the app meets more of my needs. I appreciate the friendly exchanges and the willingness to make improvements based on customer suggestions.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-02-17*

Plugged it in, iPhone detected it. Allowed QShare and the app auto opened.  It kept saying is lightning not connected

### 1/5 — Doesnt work for iphone x

*2018-01-13*

Doesn’t work for iphone x along with QShare usb. DISAPPOINTED
