iFlashDrive Free - USB&Bluetooth&Email File Sharing App Reviews

Failed to Mention...

that it requires iTunes to work. Only reason I downloaded it was because it did not specify iTunes required. I refuse to put iTunes on my PC just to transfer files to my iMac where my iTunes already is. Ill be deleting as soon as I get to my iMac.

Nothing.

Dont bother.

Flash drive

I had purchased a flash drive duel storage and it suggested that I download the app, and I hope that the flash drive works a lot better than the app because I cant even get the stupid thing to work. It doesnt give me the warm and fuzzies so Im hardly going to go and purchase the other version

Crashes and lots of ads

First app of this kind I downloaded..... Delusion 100%

DOA

iPhone 6s, 9.3.2 App doa, only displays ads, nothing active

Does nothing

This app does nothing, it literally does nothing at all.

Works...but crashes sometimes

Crashes twice, and works on third try on my 3GS. Got the job done. Needs delete feature.

does it have any limitation on the file size when transfering data via bluetooth?

I tried this app, its good, but when I send a bigger file via bluetooth, it just crashes. Is it any limitation of filesize when transfering data via bluetooth?

Really like it but too unstable for casual user (thought it trashed my iPhone for awhile)

iFlashDrive really does a lot of what I want and I really want a utility like this. I installed this and dragged a PDF and an Excel worksheet to the app in iTunes and they transferred. When I opened it up it asked me if I wanted to set a PIN and I declined because it said I could do it later by hitting the "i". THe two docs were in the library. I opened the PDF file, pretty good viewer. I could zoom it and scroll around, good for my needs. The Excel viewer was not as impressive... about the weakest viewer you could imagine because it had no concept of scrolling rows or columns... just a big picture that you drag through. But again, it was good enough for much of my needs. So I decided to set a PIN and hit the "i". I have big fingers and I hit the ad and the verizon browser launced to view the ad in the app store. I mention this only because the browser worked. I tried again and set the PIN. Left the app, came back in and was challenged for the PIN. Excellent! I went to email the PDF to myself. There was no way to enter my email address in it but it disappeared. That was strange (I later checked my home email and it was there.... not sure if this is because I have my email accounts set to blind cc me or what). Then I deleted one of the documents (mostly because one review said it was impossible). It deleted. Very good! This was good enough for me to buy it. I clicked the link to it in the help and web browser came up hanging. I hit the home key in the phone to manually surf to the iPhone Apps store app and it came up hanging. Soon everything became unresponsive on the phone. It would only shut down when it timed out. When I turned it on it kind of crawled but if I hit anything with http (web browsing) it just hung and was really hurting. I turned Airport mode on and off to see if I could break a hanging connection or something.... no luck. I plugged it into my machine and iTunes refused to synch with it and said "unknown error connecting to phone". I could not shut down iTunes and I could not even kill it from the Windows XP Task Manager. My PCs file system became unreliable (the Windows explorer tree control was unresponsive and TrueCrypt could not unmount an encrypted drive). I rebooted my PC, same thing. At this point I thought my iPhone was toast. I googled how to reset it and held the power off and the home button together until the Apple logo came up and it eventually came back. I deleted the app and then synced. So.... I want this. Im probably going to buy it, but Ive been a software developer across virtually every modern platform and technology for 25 years and Im confident that I can work around the bugs. But I really dont think this is quite ready for primetime for a non techncial user who just wants to share a few files. Where am I now? Well...if this required jailbreaking and was not sold through the Apple Store it would never get another shot on my iPhone. But, it is sold through the store and has had some cursory Apple testing so I have put the free app back down on the iPhone. I am going to put a few documents on it. I am not going to delete or email them until am at a convenient place where I can reset the phone. I am willing to spend a few days learning its quirks. I have a feeling that it is the delete that is poisonous because it changes this imaginary file system and however it hooked to explorer for drag and drop perpetuated the problem. My guess is that deleting through iTunes is the only safe approach.

Crashes, then disappears

Unsatisfactory

Needs work

Crashes often; sometimes keeps closing or crashing upon startup. After a few tries it stays up, maybe due to my putting my finger on it before it crashes. If it doesnt crash it works great, except it DOES NOT have the "open in ..." function ... Your docs are TRAPPED in this app unless you email them - which you cant do unless you have wifi or 3G, but if you did, why use this app at all? 5 stars if these issues are fixed.

Frustrating

This app does exactly what I need it to do. Unfortunately it crashes about 15 times before I can get anywhere. Once/if they work out the bugs it will be great!!

Works but....

It works but it crashes a lot. I view one pic and then try n go to another and it force closes. Does it every time. IOS 5 iPhone 4s. Dev please fix

Excellent!

This app did exactly what I needed - transferred a MS Word document to my iPhone from my laptop (Internet access was down) so I was able to e mail it. Who cares about the ads??? Price of admission was F R E E ! ! ! Quite yer whinning.

Terrible.

Crashes all the time. Hard to use. Hard to send an e-mail. No way Id pay money for the full app.

Awesome!

Works just how it should! Moved about 12 gb of data all at once!

First ever review...

Unfortunately, my first ever app review is a negative review. This app is just an app to showcase other apps from the developer. As for its functionality I just cant get past being "sold" every button press I make. This app is going to be instantly deleted. Good riddance!

Life saver

Home Internet down. I dont have tethering. How am I going to send the file Ive been working on all evening? Using this app, easy as pie to transfer and email. It does what it says. Only complaint is that the ad sat on top of the to: field when composing the email, making it difficult to actually type in the recipient name. Had to rotate the phone 90 degrees to access it.

Landscape video doesnt work as before.

I dont know if it is iOS7 or the last version of iFlashDrive, but I cant watch video in landscape mode anymore. I hope they fix it soon.

Did I pay for this?

If I did I want my money back . This app has zero functionality. No buttons worked, nothing worked. Complete garbage.
