What's New in ThePhotoStick Mobile

2.2

December 12, 2019

* Enhancement: Skip re-copying video files if they are already backed up to ThePhotoStick device like what is done with Photos * Enhancement: In some cases where users are using iCloud on multiple devices, it is possible to have multiple versions of the same video (yet filename is the same). Now, when copying video files, if this is the case, both videos will be saved to the PhotoStick device. * Enhancement: Added notification to bring app back into foreground if put into background when running a backup. If app is left running a backup in the background, iOS will put the app into suspend mode causing the backup to stop. * Added activity progress indicator to show progress when backing up large files like video files * Fixed: After initial install of app, the first time hitting "backup all" immediately finished with 0 backed up. * Fixed: In some cases, edited photos and videos were being copied without the modifications. Now, edited photos and videos will be copied properly in those situations. * Fixed: issue where edited photos and videos may be copied as name "Adjustments.plist". Edited photos and videos now copy with correct name. * Fixed: app crash condition that could occur when copying a photo/video to the device.

Photo stick

My significant other bought me this stick for Christmas it wasn’t cheap. I have tried and tried , test it still doesn’t work. Too much money for this crappy stick . Well any money for something that doesn’t work is extremely expensive. Since the only thing in life we cannot get back is time. I’ve spent too much if my valuable time on this highly advertised photo stick, including this review.

Not working on my iPhone

I too thought this would save a lot of time and back up all my pictures and videos. I have a ton on my phone. This isn’t working on my iPhone at all. I downloaded the app and it says to plug it in. When I plug it into my phone, it doesn’t even recognize it so nothing is happening. I paid over $50 for this thing and it’s not even working. What a waste of money and false advertisement.if it works for you great. Otherwise I think this is a big scam.

WOWOW Anazing!!!!

I can’t believe I just bought a photo stick? I thought this would be awesome to download photos and videos and save memory on my phone. But when I go to download the files, it asked me to insert the photo stick and it does absolutely nothing!!!! This is amazing that they are even allowed to sell this on Amazon or anywhere for that matter!!! Very Disappointed!!!

Worst money I ever spent!!!!!

Does not work!!!! Don’t waste your time or money!!!!!
I was so excited to get it and so disappointed that it does not work. The app does not recognize that it is plugged in and the one time it did it did not download all my photos and duplicated them on my phone so it took me hours to delete the duplicates and still had to find another way to download all my pictures which meant spending even more money.. so very disappointed!
