    The SD card doesn’t snap in, and is very loose. I don’t trust using With my iPhone for fear the SDcard will fall out. Not worth the price.

    I returned the item because it requires an app to download in order to be able to pull things off of the phone for it to work. Really defeats the purpose.

    Used at a basketball tournament. Took to long to cut off and restart during breaks. If looking to use for storage only it would be great.

    This lil thingy was AWESOME. You download the app and up load your photos and you can choose the photos you need to add back to you library. The only thing is it’s so small I lost it . But I ordered another one !

    I purchased this when traveling overseas so I wouldn't have to take a laptop to download media. It worked like a charm. It saved me having to carry extra equipment and was a no brainer! My only regret is not buying one sooner!

    Nothing glamorous about this product other than great utility. There is the occasional hiccup when streaming video but not unexpected considering it's reading an SD card.
