## Review summary

User reviews praise the app for storage relief and straightforward transfers when a drive is recognized, but reliability is inconsistent. Repeated complaints center on drive compatibility, missing essential features, shifting UI, and bugs/permission problems, with privacy worries added by the full-access request.

### Pros

- Great for backing up and freeing iPhone storage by transferring files to an external SanDisk drive.
- Easy to use with a friendly GUI and straightforward navigation.
- Portable workflow that enables quick file transfers between iPhone and USB drives.
- Indispensable for offloading photos and specific albums to external storage.

### Cons

- Poor bulk selection controls; no drag-to-select for hundreds of items.
- Frequent drive compatibility problems and detection failures; drives are not recognized and support changes break features.
- Missing core features (no move option, limited delete-after-copy options) and confusing UI changes that reduce usability.
- Privacy concerns, with reviews noting requests for full access to contacts.
- Stability issues and permission bugs, including unsupported errors and permissions that cannot be granted.
