However, many report issues with lack of updates and compatibility with recent Android OS versions, causing the app to fail starting or connecting on newer devices. Other common complaints include limited upload functionality, occasional service stoppage when idle, and bugs affecting certain files. Despite these problems, longtime users value the app and hope for future improvements.

Loved this app and it used to work great. Now hitting the start button does nothing. Now a worthless app with no functionality. So very sad.
