User Reviews

The app is praised by some for transferring photos and documents between iOS devices and external storage with selective folder download and good EXIF preservation, plus solid value. However, many reviews highlight persistent issues: SD cards often aren’t recognized, transfer/share options are blocked or missing, and OS-version compatibility/updates are inconsistent. Experiences vary widely, with some users enjoying smooth workflows and others facing frequent blockers that undermine reliability.
Pros
  • Allows transferring photos/videos to and from iPad/iPhone via the iExpand hardware, enabling mobile-to-external storage workflows.
  • Lets you selectively download folders or individual items, aiding management of large photo libraries.
  • Preserves EXIF data well during transfers, helping maintain metadata for photos.
  • Stores PDFs and other documents inside the app or on the external device for offline access.
  • Offers good value for money: the app is free and the hardware interface is reasonably priced for its capabilities.
Cons
  • External storage/SD card is frequently not recognized or mounted; errors include 'External storage not found' and greyed-out options.
  • Inability to save or transfer files to external storage or to iExpand from other apps due to missing share extensions or integration.
  • Inconsistent performance across devices/OS versions; some features not supported on newer iOS versions (e.g., video previews on iOS 13) and limited/slow updates.
  • Overall reliability appears variable, with many users reporting blockers while a subset reports smooth operation.

Well, I can’t say I wasn’t warned. Tons of one star reviews aren’t lying to you. This app is worthless. Apparently from 2016, will not allow you to to anything claimed. Waste of time, I am throwing mine in the trash now.
