 This is GeekGo, SD and MicroSD Card Reader.It works with iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads that have the Lightning Port and are running iOS version 8 or later.What this device does, is allows you to copy files from SD and MircoSD cards that are formatted with FAT32 or exFAT to your iOS device. I am not going to get into the technical details of that, a quick google search can point you in the right direction.It does use a special companion app called iUSB Pro, which is free in the app store.How it works.Take your SD or MicroSD card and insert it into the appropriate slot. You can use either or but not both at the same time.It will ask you if you will allow it to communicate with iUSB app, click allow. This will open up the iUSB App and allow you to start browsing the files that are on the card.The app itself supports a wide variety of files. The biggest advantage this has is allows you to use the Open-In to copy files from the card directly into a compatible app. Which is great for people who produce music with their iDevices, allowing quick transfer of audio captured from your Zoom Handy Recorder.You can also take photos and videos using your iDevices built in camera, direct to the card, saving space on your device.The dongle design makes it easier to handle with using it while its attached. Plus it allows it to be connected with bulky cases like my Otterbox.I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get files to and from their iDevice or wants to take pictures and videos with their device without filling up their internal storage.Check in the description for a link to amazon and a full review and demo video of this awesome Card Reader.Pros: Everything AboveCons: None that I have seen. The app design could use a little work but overall it works and allows me to do what I wanted to do. Which is copy Audio files from my H4n Pro to my iPad for Processing.

Well done, Well built product. I have tried this product on my Lady's apple phone and my HP laptop and it works great with no problems I was worried at first it wasn't going to fit my laptop ports but it plugged right in and I could transfer pictures from the Apple Phone to the notebook and then back to the phone. It even looks good. I found a ring on the side to attache it to a key ring or a zipper etc. Good Deal

It arrived yesterday via Prime 1-day delivery. I also have the official Apple regular SD card reader to compare to.First of all, I thought the iUSB Pro, app was buggy or something. Kept crashing on me when I tried to transfer images or video to the camera roll. Sharing/exporting/open in worked fine.Here's what I discovered.. at the bottom of the iUSB app screen there's an icon to view what's on the SD card. There are also icons for the App, Camera, iPad/iPhone, and settings.IMPORTANT: I first went to the iUSB icon to view my SD card content. That's where I was getting crashes. After I selected the iPad/iPhone icon to view the device's camera roll, I got the message asking permission for the iUSB app to access the camera roll. After I granted permission, everything worked well as expected. So, after you install the app, make sure you first go to the iPad/iPhone device icon so that you can grant the app access to the camera roll.The speed of transfer with the GeekGo seems slightly faster than the Apple SD card reader. Not blazingly so, but noticeable.Score 1 for GeekGo vs Apple readerWhat's GREAT about the GeekGo app is that once I've loaded an SD card and after it's built the thumbnail library of previews, when I reinsert the card later, it doesn't have to rebuild the thumbnails every time. The Apple one is not like this. If you have an SD card full of highres photos with RAW files, this can be very time consuming. The Apple reader has to rebuild the thumbnails every freakin' time. Not so with the GeekGo.Score 2 for GeekGo vs Apple readerContrary to what the seller of the GeekGo has replied to users in the questions section, it DOES support photo RAW files. It just doesn't create a preview of the RAW files. I shoot JPG + RAW, so I just note the file number of the JPG file and open it's RAW counterpart. The Apple SD card reader only shows you one preview, but opens as RAW in applications that support RAW. I think I prefer the GeekGo method in that I know for sure I'm opening the RAW file specifically and not inadvertently getting the JPG preview or companion file.Score 3 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe Apple reader only supports SD, or micro SD with an adaptor. The GeekGo has both SD and micro SD slots so I don't have to carry a micro SD to SD converter with me.Score 4 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe GeekGo allows you to use the USB end to connect to an external backup battery to charge your device, while also transferring files to/from your SD card. I just tried this and it works fine. The app is a little finicky with regard to charging AND transferring, but I found that it seems to work better if you start charging first, then insert the SD card. The Apple SD card obviously doesn't do this at all.Score 5 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThe Apple SD reader ONLY interfaces with the camera roll. Using the GeekGo and it's app, I can interface copy/move etc. with other file management apps. I just tried moving a video file to the iUSB Pro app and then onto an SD card in the GeekGo reader using the GoodReader app. Worked perfectly. I also tried using Apple's Files app and did the same thing. Worked just as well.Score 6 for GeekGo vs Apple readerThis is a great find and solves a lot of file management issues I have using my mobile devices on the road. Excellent buy and highly recommended!
