Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced Trail Camera Viewer for iPhone: Corded SD Memory Card Reader Plays Video & Photo on Latest Apple iOS iPad and iPhone Models by Mike Zeigler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great not only for photos but a bit slow

I am very glad I found this! My use of this might be a bit unconventional compared to others. I actually bought this card reader to store large files for an animation project and I needed a lot more space on my iPad to back up my work on a daily basis. I work with large PSD documents in procreate and use them in Photoshop on my desktop. I was pleasantly surprised, Bonview has been very helpful and reliable so far. Pros: You are not limited by the size of OTG flash drives as they can be quite expensive and SD cards are more available and plentiful! Also, Boneview app is relatively simple and easy to use compared to others, it doesn't have many bugs. Cons: I should mention that there are a few trade-offs to be wary of. It's a bit tricky to move files to an external card with the mobile app, you have to cut and paste them back to your device and then back to the card. It can be a little annoying if you accidentally put them in the wrong folder. A big problem is that the writing speed is very slow (it was only around 5-6 MB/s when I was adding files to my computer). I'm not sure if this is just due to limitations in using SD cards or if it could be improved in a future version. But as long as it works and is reliable, I don't have many complaints about it being slow since I can of course leave it to transfer files in the background while I'm doing something else.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Appearance
