This needs to be fixed, as viewing photos on an iPad are far better in landscape mode. ### 2/5 — Please update 😦 *2019-10-12, version 3.0.30* No longer playing mp3files, after iPadOS update. Just a spinning disk with ‘preparing’ underneath. 🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — I love this product but HELP! *2018-11-25* This is one of the best accessories in my camera bag for importing photos to my Apple devices. However, recently it stopped moving videos to my photo album, says the destination is full. This is an error as I have over 100GB of free space on my device. Please help me fix this. 😰 ### 3/5 — Update *2018-09-03, version 3.0.28* Make an update which makes the app work in landscape please. ### 3/5 — A Useful App in Progress *2017-08-28* Please add a landscape mode. ### 2/5 — It used to be good *2017-06-21* This did work pretty well. But with the latest update, it started to crash after only a few seconds. I hope they get this fixed soon. ### 3/5 — Not a happy camper.... *2017-03-28* Expensive flash drive and have not been able to back up my iPad 4! It seems to be selective and does not ask me what to back up. My drop box, which is has backed up, is full. How do I get it to back up iBooks, and etc. how does one delete just one file, and how can one rename a file? In case anyone reads this, do not bother trying for support, It is entirely written in Japanese! ### 1/5 — Does not auto rotate... app is bad *2017-01-26, version 3.0.14* Does not autorotate to horizontal in base user mode, and as drive is plugged into 'bottom' of iPhone or iPad you cannot have a keyboard or have it in any sort of holder... very frustrating as it s a great idea... support is only in Chinese... ### 2/5 — No rota en iPad y no cabe en vertical *2017-01-20, version 3.0.14* En el iPad no permite la rotación, y deja fuera de visión el botón de editar de la derecha, por lo que no puedo hacer nada en el iPad con este dispositivo. Espero que lo arreglen pronto. ### 3/5 — Box support *2016-12-17* Not a bad app. Would like a connection to Box as well as Dropbox and Google drive. ### 2/5 — No horizontal orientation *2016-12-15* At least I can't find it. Why would you design an app that doesn't let you comfortably use the Apple keyboard? The software isn't intuitive either. ### 1/5 — Sort of works! *2016-12-07, version 3.0.13* I have two of these, first one bought as a 16gb and card replaced with a 128gb. This one works fine. Backs up all of my iPad air2 photos, contacts etc and allows me to store movies from my PC to play on the iPad whenever I like. Second one 16gb, recently bought as a Christmas gift, worked for a short time now can't be found by the iPad or my PC. tried several different memory cards still no go. Same cards in first u-drive all work fine. Will be contacting Amazon! ### 2/5 — iCloud not compatibility *2016-11-18, version 3.0.11* We need to use with iCloud!!! The manage system is very poor ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No gira el ipad a horizontal *2020-02-09, version 3.0.32* ¡Imperdonable! ### 1/5 — No gira pantalla *2018-08-19, version 3.0.27* No gira la pantalla iPad en documentos escritos ### 1/5 — Decepción total. *2018-06-12, version 3.0.27* Estoy bajándome la última actualización. Será la última oportunidad.Hasta ahora no he conseguido usarlo para lo que quería, que es liberar espacio del iPad con el uDrive 3.0. Y llevo meses. ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-11-29, version 3.0.23* Not working on a iPhone 7s or iPad Air a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Waste of money! *2017-10-07* Stopped playing audio files! Stuck in “prep” mode. Tried deleting app. Restarting the iPad... nothing seems to work. Very angry...! ### 1/5 — No external storage? *2017-09-14, version 3.0.19* Help! This thing cost £139 and isn't recognised on either phone or iPad- why? ### 1/5 — Where are my photos? *2017-08-25* My iPad Air indicates I have 569 photos and 1 video in internal storage (camera roll). Your app indicates only 16 photos and 1 video. What is the problem? ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2017-06-11, version 3.0.17* This app has worked perfectly - until the last update! Now my MP4 movies won't play on my iPad, get it sorted please. Makes my expensive 128Gb u-drive stick a complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Very buggy software *2017-05-13, version 3.0.17* Why does this app not work as it is advertised? Trying to back up contacts causes the app to crash(tested on an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 5S with same results, using iOS 10.3.1) Also this app offers exporting of iTunes music, this only works rarely, and keeps complaining of protected files and unable to copy. Yet after restarting the app it allowed me to copy the same files it had previously refused to transfer? Please sort this out, I have wasted my money ### 1/5 — Files won't play *2017-02-10, version 3.0.15* The mkv and avi files won't play with this latest update can you please fix this as its the reason I brought your product.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great support *2018-10-15, version 3.0.28* I was struggling to get the video to play full screen and the developers swapped several emails with me until we got a conclusion that worked for me. Excellent. ### 5/5 — Mr p *2016-08-23, version 3.0.7* Brilliant. ### 5/5 — Rating U-Drive app *2015-11-26* To whom it may concern, This is a good app to use for storage. It does everything the developer says it does. Plays: mp4, mp3, opens txt, pdf, doc, docx, and etc. My only concern is: when renaming a file or folder you must use a short "name". If I rename the file in another app and then replace it in this app then it will accept the longer name. I do a lot of research and sometimes I need a longer name. So I rate this app 41/2 stars. Thank you. Bo. ### 4/5 — Good Features *2018-04-22* The device has a number of good features. However I have tried to contact support and there is no way to do that. The support link is no more than a marketing site. It would be nice for the app to function in landscape mode on the iPad. Also when viewing a document the back arrow does not respond until having tapped it numerous times on both iPhone and iPad. ### 4/5 — iPhone issues *2018-04-15, version 3.0.23* I downloaded the app and I bought the u drive mini a year or so ago. Worked perfect on my iPhone 6s+ but now won’t work on my new iPhone X?? Keeps asking to insert memory card. Tried to format on phone but says error? What’s happened! Was a great tool now won’t work! I’ll give it 4 stars and hope comparability to the X is sorted. ### 4/5 — IOS 11 initialization failure *2018-02-10* Drive works fine on IOS 10 won’t work on 11 ### 4/5 — LANDSCAPE *2017-11-03* Please! ### 4/5 — Update needed with IOS 11.0.1 *2017-10-03* Stopped playing audio files on external drive. Keeps “preparing” but never loads. ### 4/5 — Will not bak up contacts *2016-07-18* Works good with backing up photos. Transfers from iPhone 6 very fast using the GMYLE uDrive mini with a 3.0 USB on oboist end. Had to take my phone cover off as the lighting end would not fit otherwise. I also connected to my drop box account without problems. The instructions are pretty limited. I am experiencing a problem with backing up contacts. The app has long wide slide buttons that turn pale green with options selected and ready to be used. My option for backing up contacts stays a pale red and when I try to back up contacts it flashes and brings me out to desktop of phone. Trouble shooting gives nothing on this case and instructions say nothing about the button colors. Trial and error. My main reason was photos and with that I'm happy. ### 4/5 — Issues after update *2016-07-06* I like the small size of the flash drive and how easy the app is to use, but now since the update, i can not transfer files from other applications into u-drive anymore. This is the main reason i use this app so if you could bring this function back, that would be great! Other than that, app works great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
