## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly describe stability and compatibility problems: the app crashes during transfers, fails to detect the dongle, and conflicts with newer iOS versions, sometimes corrupting files. While a minority report the device works well or used to work, the overall sentiment is frustration and unreliable performance. The core promise—iPhone-to-computer transfer via Duo-Link—appears inconsistent across recent updates.

### Pros

- Enables direct transfer of files between iPhone and a computer when it works.
- Some users report the device works well for years and can transfer "everything" effectively.
- The device is described as amazing when functioning, indicating strong potential performance.

### Cons

- App frequently crashes during transfer (move/copy) and interrupts the process.
- The app often fails to recognize the flash drive or dongle.
- Incompatibility with newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 10, iOS 13) causing non-functionality.
- Data/files can become damaged during transfer and streams may not play properly.
- Ongoing need for updates/support; perceived poor responsiveness and unresolved issues.
