1. 5/5Wonderful Application

   I took videos of the family gifting on Christmas Day and have had them on my iPhone since that time, because I couldn’t find a way to transfer them off to my computer. I’ve tried a number of ways to get them to my computer; cabling my iPhone to my computer, performing a backup, using a flash drive, and a few other tricks, but nothing worked. I was beginning to believe they were relegated to my iPhone forever. Then doing a search of my problem I came across your video. I had no idea that Apple had a physical limit on file size when cabled to a device. I downloaded Simple Transfer and couldn’t believe the ease of use. I had to check to ensure that it worked. No more videos on my iPhone now. I was able to delete them from my iPhone.

2. 2/5Still broken

   If it can’t copy all of the files it now shows/marks the ones it couldn’t download at the end but selecting the option to download those, say 3 failed files, still completely restarts downloading the thousands of files. Very frustrating, cancelling the new redownload of all the files clears the option to identify and download the failed files. So you can start over waisting hours or just give up and lose the files, since you need the space more. It’s better than iTunes, but it’s not great. Response to developer. I selected the Green button that said 3 items download, it proceeded to re-download the 2045 items, they did not all have check boxes on them either, I scrolled through and found one that did I didn’t try to find the other 2, I just selected the 3 items download option. Cancelling the download cleared the marked files that had errored on download and I was unable to re-identify them with the time I had left to work on the issue, forcing me to lose the 3 files as I had to delete all of them. The failure recovery options and resiliency of this app are lacking. If things don’t fail it works fine, but that’s frequently not the case. 2nd Response to developer: I didn’t come here for support, I came to report detailed reasons why I’m not fully satisfied with the product and hopefully help other potential users decide on the quality. I also provided clear usability feedback that is repeatable with this product. Your instructions are not follow-able for a number of reasons that should’ve been clear in my original post. I had already deleted the entirety of photos on my device prior to the original post, which I stated in my original post. Even if I hadn’t deleted the files, did you expect I was sitting with the app connected and/or somehow tracking 3 random files out of 2045? You have a use ability issue with this product that I’ve described, I don’t need, nor did I ask for support on this issue. I’d rather see you address the problem in future versions of the product.

3. 5/5Updated reciew

   Most times when people update reviews, the rating suffers. In this case, after using the app for years, all I have to say is that I still give it five stars because it’s easy to use, declutters my iPhone and works both ways. Yes, there are times I want to upload a photo that I’ve taken with my Nikon to show on my phone. After all these years, I have yet to find a better alternative. Suggestion- delete the free version and buy Pro directly. Do buy the Pro version. It is well worth the extra couple of bucks.

4. 5/5Used it when I lost my iPhone lighting cable

   I used this app awhile ago when I first lost my lighting cable and need to transfer some video files for a project. I ended up liking this app and bought the pro version of it. I find this app very useful since I can send videos and pictures from my computer straight to my iPhone's camera roll. The only barrier that would make this app useless is if you don't have internet connection. Overall, great app and I'm glad I discovered it when I did and I still use it till this day.

5. 2/5Did not work for a 20gb video

   I tried to download a large 20gb video file from my iPhone 8 iOS 13.2.2 to a Window 7 pc. I tried both the browser method and the desktop windows app. If I select the video format “original” I only get the audio. That is true for smaller video files as well. If I select H.264 it simple hangs, no progress no messages. I let it sit for hours. I can download smaller videos using H.264 and that works. I tried to report a bug in the app but that link does not work. Also I paid twice for this app. I downloaded the free version and since it appeared to work on smaller files I purchased the pro from the free app. It never updated the icon as “pro” so I thought the reason I was having problems was that it did not upgrade. I went to App Store and purchased the pro directly. The phone did create a separate second icon for the pro version. Checking my iTunes account I was charged twice. I wish it worked and it would be nice if there was support or the report a bug worked. The link for suggest a feature also did not work.
