Lexar Mobile Manager

This app will transfer files to and from the Lexar flash drives, but only from or to photos, videos, music, voice recordings, contacts, and DropBox under iOS 12. It does NOT integrate with Apple’s “Files” app, so it CANNOT to transfer data to/from other, non-Apple software. Since most of the non-Apple software already integrates with Files and/or DropBox, there is hardly any need for this app. Before Apple introduced their Files facility there might have been some reason to put up with the limitations of this app. However, until Lexar decides to support Files, I recommend NOT purchasing Lexar’s Lightning-interfaced flash drives, because the only way to use them from iOS seems to be via this, inadequate, app.

I use this app and device to transfer photos and homemade videos from my devices onto my microSD card. I was able to send photos from my microSD card to others via iMessage! He liked mine so much He wanted one, so I bought him a lexar, as well. Great app, useful device. UPDATE: some of you might try downloading the "lexar mobile manager user guide" from the Lexar website. It'll tell you what you can and cannot do with the Lexar device. Also, on the last page it will tell you which file types it is compatible with. Knowing the picture/video file types that IOS 11 uses (HEVC, HEIF) are currently incompatible with almost everything, I will not be upgrading to iOS 11 at this time.

Rarely recognized by iPhone8. Eventually if I plug & unplug over & over it MIGHT work, but could take 50 tries. Works fine on laptop windows 10. Drive worked perfect on iPhone for first week. I have been EXTRA careful with it. Randomly stopped working. Randomly works. The mobile app is decent, but it’s annoying to transfer files from phone memory to drive memory the way the app works. I will return it ASAP for a better drive. As a salesman on the go in great need of this, it has completely failed me more than once. Never rely on this to work!!! Negatives: No protection for either tip. No keychain. Unnecessary wire length between ends. All around terrible design by people who obviously never have had a need of something like this. Not user friendly. Won’t work when you need it. Expensive. Poor support from maker who point fingers. Positives: none. Do not buy this one.

Bought this for my 6s phone worked beautifully. Later, I tried it with my new 8 phone and it shuts down. Downloaded new stuff and it still doesn’t work. So I put it down for a few months thinking Lexar is a good brand they will fix the app and everything will be fine. No way that I thought that after a few months they couldn’t/wouldn’t have found the bug and fixed it. Plug it in and bang it searches, little wheel is spinning and then bang—it closes down. I don’t need a new drive (especially from Lexar) if this is the solution. To be honest, months ago they did send me something that my angry mind read as: dump it, kill the app, re-download and then restore. I didn’t. But I did notice an occasional app download but they didn’t fix the problem of accessing my data on their drive.

This extremely compact device makes it very easy to add photos, documents, or music to your iPhone or iPad - I love it! Unfortunately, IOS 13.6 messed it up, and it no longer works on my iPhone 11 Pro. Still works on my iPad Mini that has not been updated to IOS 13.6. I put a 1TB mini SDHC card in it - worked fantastic until I updated my phone. I really love the design of my Apple products, but hate that they don’t have any USB or camera card ports. This device had solved the problem up until I made the mistake of updating to IOS 13.6.
