8 of 25This app worked great until my recent IOS update. I tried everything and it will not find my computer. The only thing that changed was IOS. Maybe they will fix it. Who knows.
My god! We all know how iPhone make is so user unfriendly with transferring photos and videos to windows pc. I tried everything. Watched hundreds of YouTube videos but still couldn’t get it done because I had almost 250gig of data! But guess what! This freaking app got it done without any cable, wirelessly within 2 hours. Keep the app in background and you use your phone however you want. It will get the job done. My heartfelt thanks and gratitude towards the developers.
After a long found an app which made my life so easy for transferring to my computer
It's just okay. I have an IPhone and for some reason Apple has made it horrible to transfer photos within the most recent years (i say for some reason but we know its so you pay into icloud). My phone is a little older so it's slowing down and my storage has been full for quite sometime so I opted for this app due to reviews on reddit. I even paid for the $6 for life membership for better upload quality. I don't know if it's the app or the way Apple configures things but it simply will not transfer all of my photos. I've tried doing everything at once(around 2k photos) and then I've tried doing separate folders ranging between 50-300 photos and unfortunately I just can't get it to transfer all of them. So if you have an Iphone maybe try to free version first before paying for a membership and see if it'll transfer for you.
Auto Upload feature is Subscription Only versus OneTime payment is not included
The transfer is super easy and quick. I just started using it so will update later.
(UPDATED) Works great! Had previous problems, but they were related to my computer, not Photosync.
Very easy to use, lots of options to customize your situation for backups; like NAS or cloud or you name it. Great app!!
