Y-Disk 4+

This app takes forever to load. I uploaded a few videos and the date was from 1984. I wasn’t even born in the 1900s. This needs to be fixed. Especially since it is the only app the works with the flash drive. The videos that I upload to the flash drive don’t even come out clear. They are all glitchy. Every time I go to watch the video on the flash drive it kicks me right off. This is the worst thing ever. The least the creators could do is fix the really bad issues with this. I mean seriously, where is the effort that this app desperately needs?!? All these issues explain why this app has an average of 2 STARS.

Edit: this app is still not working and now whenever I plug in the USB plug it says this phone doesn’t recognize this accessory.
If this doesn’t get fixed WITHIN 1 WEEK of me WRITING this REVIEW, I WILL make this a ONE STAR review. 😡😠😡

Not sure why all the negative reviews, except maybe the instruction book is such small print it was hard to read? My purpose for this USB was not to back up my phone, but to copy one photo album off my phone to my PC so I could then create a Shutterfly book of my last vacation. Because the print was so small, I had to guess a bit about getting the album imported to the thumb drive, but I eventually muddled through. I was able to sort the thumb drive pics, both on the thumb drive and on my PC, by date created, which was very important to me. I’m also not sure where the privacy concerns stem from, unless folks are worried about downloading the app from the App Store (as in downloading a worm or something)? I’m choosing to trust the App Store…The app did not require any personal information or passwords to use. So anyway, as far as I’m concerned, it worked a little better than expected as I thought I might have to download all my photos instead of just one album.

NOTE: AVOID THIS APP AND ALL DEVICES THAT USE IT! Why can’t someone write an app that will read various makes of usb flash drive for iPhone??? ALL OF THEM seem to have this proprietary thing so if you have 17 makes of usb flash drive, you have to have 17 mostly worthless and horrible apps like this one!
If I could give it zero stars, I would. Five words: NOT MAC OR IPHONE FRIENDLY! 1) Get out your stone knives and bearskins. Alphabetic sort function DOESN’t work if you use non-8.3 fileNames. 2) Interface will not rotate to phone landscape orientation, though it will play videos in landscape view. 3) Starts playing video again shortly after you pause the video if you don’t either eject the usb drive or quit the app. So, if you’re watching a movie, and pause to use the bathroom or get a soda, you come back and find that the movie has been playing and you’ve missed part of it. Then … 4) You can’t resume where you left off because it’s impossible to move the progress bar to anywhere near where you wanted to start watching again. 5) Ugly interface. End rant.

P.S. I tried the other 2 “Y-Disk apps — HD & Pro — they wouldn’t even recognize the Y-Disk usb external. Utterly worthless!!
