Review

It works really good and never fails me. The app is as great as the reader and very easy to use, I recommend this app and the reader . It’s very convenient and easy to learn to use!

Completely a scam

First time I’ve ever written a review; it’s that bad. Despite the SD card adapter being sold at Walmart for 40$, it literally doesn’t work. Neither app nor in your own files/photos apps

Reader wiped my card memory

Saw many reviews with a similar experience to mine. Do not download this app, do not buy their card reader. Wiped all of the files from my SD card multiple times. No data showed up on the app, so I put the card back into my camera and all data was erased on there as well.

Phone has been acting funny ever since

I downloaded the app and immediately after my phone started acting strangely. Video titles online would start showing up in different languages on videos that were primarily English (as if I were using a VPN), it’s much slower than usual, and after downloading the app I noticed it was still in my settings when I searched it up but I wouldn’t be able to click on it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP

Doesn’t Work After Couple Uses

I was able to move photos from one of my SD cards to my iPhone. Tried it with another SD card and the pictures won’t show up at all now. I noticed it actually wiped some of my photos from the SD card when I tried plugging it back into my camera. Will be returning.

DO NOT BUY THIS

I wanted to download photos off of my digital cam and I couldn’t find my ss card reader so I bought the Vivitar one. It was a huge mistake. Vivitar makes you download this horrible app to get your pictures and both the app and the physical card reader itself just do not work at all. After one use both had issues. Horrible company and a waste of money.

No.

Terrible product. Doesn’t work. Save your money.

Do not buy

Requires its own app now to work, does not allow transfer of raw photo files like previous versions, double the original price.

Crashes

Constant crashes while trying to view photos

Don’t buy this thing

I just bought the reader 20 mins ago downloaded the app and got ready to move pics over and instead the app won’t even work absolute trash 0/10

ez

it's so easy to use. i'm pretty adamant on wanting things to be less work so it was a little inconvenient that i had to download this app, but it's literally fine.

Genuinely terrible

I never write reviews but this was genuinely the worst product I’ve ever used. Couldn’t recommend less. Wish I could give it zero stars.

Can’t transfer files

It won’t let me transfer, the confirm button won’t work

amazing app

it works great! app works quickly, no ads, lets me delete pictures and videos off of my sd cards which saves me alot of space. i download my pictures to my phone almost immediately after taking pictures on my camera. im confused as to why this app has only 2 stars. i love it.

worst reader ever

the app is confusing, the instructions are terrible. and as someone who understands techonology quite well, this was an awful mistake of buying this, we will return this tommorow. please improve.

:(

this app is great but after awhile it just stopped working and now I can’t download pictures from my camera to the app to save to my phone anymore. :(

Does not work on iPad 13 pro

Doesn’t work on new device with c type port

All garbage

I’m not sure if it’s the card reader or the app but it’s not working with my phone (16 pro).

Nothing pops up when you connect it. It’s as if it’s not connected at all. And it might not be considering the instructions don’t include a proper way to connect usb-c iPhones.

Regardless, nothing is working and I wasted $40.

terrible

the app sucks and so does the card reader. it literally just won’t process that i have anything connected, cord or card. waste of money and time

i needed to mod my 3ds and the way my face turned into a frown when the reader i bought was $30 MIND YOU
AND I HAD TO USE A COMPUTER AND STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT WORK BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY LET ME DO PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON MY PHONE
the only good thing it did was format my sd card smh
