Disappointed — corrupted my SD card
I bought this hoping it would make transferring photos easier, but it ended up corrupting my SD card after just a few uses. For something that costs more than most other SD readers, I expected better quality. It also glitches a lot and disconnects randomly, which makes it unreliable during transfers. The only positive is that it can import RAW photos in their original quality without compressing them — but honestly, that’s not worth the risk or frustration. Definitely not recommending this one.

Do mot buy
Too difficult to use. Requires download of app that is difficult to find in App Store. U tube tutorials show others having difficulty too. Really 0 stars.

Doesnt work
Doesn’t work at all on any devices. Have to download an app. Do not buy it. Misleading packaging. Amazed that target would even sell something as useless and scummy as this product.

DONT BUY THIS! Is a Scam!
this a Scam to track your activity and sell your info to third parties, first off is connected to a stupid app that you must download and then all the files you want to put on your sd card simply goes into this new app you have to download, and then of top of it all the app doesn't even work is very stupid and very old looking. Is unresponsive and all your files in the phone sync into the app and if you want to delete it it will delete from the entire phone, So my question is what's the need for that stupid app ? Why can I just go into my sd card and save stuff in it ?? Why do I need to download your stupid app ???? Makes no sense! I'm going back to target right now and get my money back! This item is trash! No one should buy it!

Complete Garbage Waaaaay Overpriced!
I was trying to find a card reader for a micro sd and this was the only option. I purchased this thinking it would work with my mac. It does not, it only works on the iphone. I have never experienced this before. A card reader should work with any device imo. Also, this is priced for about $4 online. Same exact brand. Same exact item. This is an extreme mark up. This is the second item I bought from Target this month which resulted in a complete loss. The other item was an Arris modem which is not obsolete and does not work with Xfinity. I found out the hard way after two months of hell. Target should not be selling items that are obsolete and items that do not work as intended. They no longer stock this, so hopefully they fired their buyer who though this item was a good idea to include in the Target line up.

Not worth the money
Not worth the money, only allows you to view and transfer no more than 499 photos at a time and does not work with PC or laptop exports.

Not worth it
Not worth the money. Doesn’t preform as expected. Have to download an app to use and doesn’t support Sony Files. Also tried with canon files and still didn’t upload. I will be returning asap.

Make sure cable connected in the right direction
Works fine. But note, you have to have the little cable plugged in the right way around. If you switch it end for end, it fits, but doesn’t work.

Doesn't work with iPhone
When connected to an iPhone it makes you download/go through an app. After all of that, the images still don't show up. It worked when attached to my Macbook. For the price, you can get an Apple one.

Decent
Not tooo bad it did what I needed it to do. Not a fan that you need an app to transfer pictures but it was an easy way to get pictures off my camera straight to my phone
