Ratings and Reviews
Works perfectly
There are quite a lot of comments here that say they have issues with this device and app which almost put me off buying the ixpand memory stick. I took the chance and I am glad I did. I have used it for my iphone 6s and my wife’s first gen iphone se. It all worked perfectly and copied something like 3k photos and videos in one go from both phones with zero issues. It also did it it quicker than I imagined. Great product and great app!
Unusable since recent app updates!
Since upgrading to an iPhone 13 Mini (IOS 15.1.1) the USB Drive has become unusable. It was almost as bad with my iPhone 6S running IOS 14.8.1. If I’m lucky enough to copy images to an existing folder on the USB Drive, when I open any of my other folders they all appear blank, no images visible. I have to close app and remove Drive then reinsert Drive and launch app each time I want to copy to a folder or the app doesn’t see existing folders and images. After updating to most recent app version 5.3.12 it’s worse! Now when selecting images to copy to Drive the app doesn’t see/show existing folders to copy to. App only displays a blank screen with +create (new) folder option. The following message often appears:
“iXpand Drive not found. Please attach and try again.”
The app also fluctuates display of available memory on the iXpand Drive between true 112GB and false 0GB.
Briefly a dependable backup drive has now deteriorated to being unusable with recent app updates. Drive probably needs reformatting but there’s no identifiable means to do this and App support seems to be deaf & dumb!
Was better when it played all videos from the app
Okay I was made to have Top Reel, an extra app. Fine. But this new app does not play video files as well as iXpand ever did since it stopped supporting certain formats. Yet these files show up in iXpand if now unsupported. If you go to play them it sends you to Top Reel which seems to crash at times! IXpand still allows you to copy all video files from the drive but where do the unsupported files that it allows you to copy go - as the files appears to copy to my device but then does not show up when you unplug the iXpand in it or Top Reel either. So there’s a disconnect there between the two associated apps! The iXpand app and Top Reel app both seem to become confused if you use an File on one app but then need to use the other - even if you have stopped playing a file - you get a message saying iXpand drive in use! Which means swiping apps away to close apps or unplugging. So if we have to have two apps - which seems a bit silly to me - can they please work together in harmony and per be developed by the same teams?
