New update removed my purchase !!!

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 !!

Now unusable, Previously the BEST.

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.

Unreliable

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.

$$$

Stopped working, demanded $30/year.

Just stays on 0% on some

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 .

Frustrating and slow

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

Poor description

Doesn’t tell you it’s limited to 50 oldest pics unless you pay $19.99/yr

Worked for 62 GB of images!

I had my doubts that this would work at getting all my images off my phone that were stuck on there to the point of the Windows MTP protocol not seeing half of them and failing constantly with Explorer and the Windows "Photos" app on the PC.

However, this app worked as advertised without any hiccups copying all 62 GB over. I did however have to delete the images off my phone in chunks from the PC app as iOS kept ignoring the delete command for the entire thing. But that's not the app's fault as iOS asked if I wanted to confirm the delete--it just didn't do it. But deleting ~15k images at a time did work.

A suggestion to the devs: please separate the USB and Wifi connect options in the PC app, as when both options are available it seems pretty willy-nilly which one it will pick. I want it to be explicit.

Best Iphone to Windows app

This is the only app that is able to easily transfer my iphone pictures and videos to my windows laptop. Windows apps glitch out. Nothing has worked like this.

So slow.

Tried to move a 45 min video off my phone to a PC. It just kind of transferred a few hundred kilobytes and sat there telling me it would take 3 hours. I can’t leave my phone open for three hours. Sorry.

Life Saver

Great software, saved me time and annoying hassles of moving images and videos from my phone to PC.

Paywall

Useless unless you pay for their premium nonsense. They think their product is worth $70 CAD, which is laughable. Avoid.

Ерунда

Все за деньги ток

Not free

Beautifully set out easy to use BUT it doesn’t last long before it wants money. And if your only transferring occasional photos DON’T bother

Data transfer.

Ddoesn’t work

Платное приложение

Хочет сразу переход на премиум

На троечку

60$ за приложение? Вы серьёзно? Бесит архивирование скачиваемых файлов

Free App Misleading

App documentation indicated that I had 50 free items to download . I could not download more than 10 before repeatedly getting a screen to sign up for premium. This app will be deleted for good!
