### 1/5 — Hook everyone, adds mandatory fee.

*2026-08-14, version 7.6.9*

Predatory behavior. Switched to local send.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-08-08, version 7.6.9*

Only the 50 oldest photos are able to be downloaded? What a useless app.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-08-08, version 7.6.9*

Your app should be able to detect or prompt me to allow greater access to my photos without spending a lot of time finding the settings option to make the change. I am not happy that you are now charging much more than your competitors and that you’re going to an annual rate. I am actively looking to drop you before the end of year.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2026-08-08, version 7.6.9*

Can’t do anything now without fees

### 1/5 — New update removed my purchase !!!

*2026-08-05, version 7.6.9*

I was able to use it without limit. Now it requires me to pay overpriced annual fee or $70 for lifetime fee ! Too expensive for this easy job ! It only worth $10. I removed the app. I will never use it !!

### 1/5 — Now unusable, Previously the BEST.

*2026-07-29, version 7.5.8*

I’ve loved using this app, and have recommended it to dozens of people, but unfortunately it seems that recent updates have lost previous purchases, and the now-nearly-useless desktop program is lagging/crashing. 

This will be dearly missed. I would consider repurchasing - that’s how much I liked it - but with not knowing how long it will last for, and with literally no direct contact information or social media channels etc, except a simple contact us form on their page, I am reticent to risk it.

As their website says, they’ve been on the App Store for many years, and this was a truly solid and dependable app, but unfortunately it seems to have changed. 

I hope the devs can get it back to how stable it used to be - and with previous purchases not disappearing. But for now, $30/$50/$70 (it’s hard to tell, as their website has ZERO pricing information) is too much to risk a now seemingly declining App. It will be missed. So Long, and Thanks for All the Files.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-07-28, version 7.5.8*

I have been using software for years .
Within the last two months it’s been unreliable.
Sometimes it works something 
it does not
Let’s you select pictures but will not let you download.
When I reinstalled app it want me to pay for new subscription.

### 1/5 — $$$

*2026-07-20, version 7.5.6*

Stopped working, demanded $30/year.

### 1/5 — Just stays on 0% on some

*2026-07-13, version 7.6.3*

Most videos downloading it is just staging on 0% for over 10 mins. It’s only a 40 second video . I’ve paid 20£ for the year without even getting to try it first .

### 1/5 — Frustrating and slow

*2026-07-09, version 7.6.3*

Can only transfer a few files at a time. Painfully slow.
