Review summary

ROSPE is meant to move photos/videos to an external USB drive and serve as an iCloud backup option. Reviews show mixed results: frequent drive detection failures, data loss or incomplete transfers, and features becoming unusable after iPhone updates. Users also report trouble viewing or organizing saved files and permission/privacy issues. A minority indicate it works well initially for some use cases, but overall reliability and usability appear inconsistent.
Pros
  • Enables transferring photos and videos to an external USB drive via the Rospe app
  • Used as a backup/alternative to iCloud for some users
  • Some reviews report it worked well initially and transferred content to external storage
Cons
  • External drive not detected or not recognized by the app
  • Data loss or incomplete transfers with files destroyed
  • Features become unusable (grayed out) after iPhone upgrades
  • Inability to view, access, or organize saved content (can't create folders or view photos)
  • Privacy/permissions issues, including limited access and backups of only contacts

2026-01-28 si***** This was a convenient alternative/back up to iCloud but when I upgrade my phone to iPhone 17 pro, the external hard drive portion of the app/menu is permanently grayed out. Since I used this for my phone exclusively, I’m disappointed that I can no longer can use it to save files to the external drive, but with a USB-C adapter, I can use it as a regular flash drive for my laptop.
