Amber iX

But it’s hard to scan through your photos. So many folders inside of folders. I would rather have them all in one single folder in order that they were downloaded. Maybe one additional folder for private photos. We ended up losing (misplacing?) our amber x during our move. Would like to know if there is anything we can do about it besides buy another one.

I don’t use this to back up my photos and I couldn’t use the app to set up my device, it kept giving me an error message. The device itself is good just the app needs work. Tom

When I bought an Amber I thought I had finally found a product/company that was genuinely private and wasn’t just marketing hype. Sadly this is just another “privacy first” sham. Sure the app says they don’t collect data, but when it comes to the physical Amber unit and your cloud based data go read the company’s privacy policy and watch your hopes for true privacy fade away just like all the money you just spent on purchasing it. I had high hopes for this one, but buyer beware the marketing hype.

I connected with cable and the speed is very slow after I updated the app. It was fast and convenient but now it is not efficient and helpful.

So happy they finally made a landscape mode for the iPad. It took enough users to complain for Amber to finally listen but they resolved it, so I’m a happy consumer!! Next thing they need to do is add more playback functions when watching videos. Keep up the great work team amber!!!

This app is nowhere near as intuitive as they lead people to believe. In the app I can look at pics from the device I’m using, but have to hunt for pics from other devices, of my own with my ID. I cannot find the videos I’ve uploaded from my pc. Thus I cannot play them anywhere other than my pc. Nor have I been able to figure out how it is supposed to be consolidating or organizing my photos across devices. They do updates to the software, but they seriously need a redesign to make it more intuitive. In this day and age, it should not be so vexing.

I love the AmberX device, but the app crashes every time I try to do a photo backup of my iPhone or iPad. It’ll backup to a certain point then it starts crashing. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it with no luck.
