This app works. I was able to use it to easily connect the travel router to my phone's hotspot using the bridge mode.
★★★★★
usually works great. except when it does not connect or when it loses the connection. when that happens, always end up turning the rav filehub device off for a while and turn on later to try again. or turn the phone off/on. or turn off/on my wifi. etc. etc. etc. .... anyways, really really really wish this app had a way to automatically synchronize the files on the rav filehub with what's on the phone. well, at least can copy a whole folder and click "skip all" to not copy existing files.
★★★★★
Good app for using the rav power file hub. It backs up all my photos and videos, watsapp photos but doesn't do the watsapp videos would be a great development to finish off using this as a NAS
★★☆☆☆
The app requires excessive permissions and will not boot without them. Location, contacts, etc. These aren't necessary for a device which simply backs up photos from an SD card to an external drive. The good news for Rav file hub owners is that you can connect directly to the file hub via a browser (10.10.10.254), and have the same user experience without the data leakage and privacy violation.
★★☆☆☆
App does not see that my Filehub is connected. Filehub works fine via browser, but the app cannot see it. This app has not been updated in almost 1 year. It appears RAVPower is content with taking your money when you purchase a Filehub and then not providing you with the app that actually makes the Filehub useful. Also, why does RAVPower have 2 different Filehub apps (this one and Filehub Plus)? What the hell is the difference and which one are your customers supposed to be using?
