Lost all my Photos
I purchased the 128G Photo Stick 6 months ago, loaded photos and when I went to open it last month it wouldn’t open. Took it to a software repair and they said it was unusable. Contacted Photo Stick and they were unwilling to stand behind their product. I have lost my photos and no longer can use something I paid considerable $$ for. Do not trust this product !!

Thank you for your patience. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I see you placed your order on Amazon and are required to contact them regarding any refunds, as we cannot refund Amazon orders on our end. I see on your ticket that you stated you are past your return period, at this time I would love to offer a free replacement for you or suggest that you reach out to Amazon and request a refund due to the situation. Our Amazon rep will gladly work with you if you reach out to them. Please reach out to our support and specifically ask for me (Rachel) and I will do my best to assist you moving forward.

The Packaging Lies!
The package says it works with Mac OSX 10.6 or newer. My Mac is OSX 10.11. The error message I get states that the product requires 10.13 or newer. I reached out with photos to customer service requesting refund or replacement. They asked for the information I had already provided. I sent it again. They asked for a screen shot of the message from my computer. I sent it. They replied that their product would not work with my computer. REALLY? The reps I corresponded with (Aica, Alkyl, and Chas) were extremely unhelpful and frustrating. The emails gave me the option of leaving a review for the support but that site doesn't work either. No big surprise there. This company does NOT stand behind their product.

I ordered and paid for my Photo Stik in December 2023 and it is now April 2024 and I have not received it. If you are not willing to provide my stick please return my money or provide my Stik.I have read reviews and realise I am not the only one who has not received the Stick.
Look back through your records for my name and address in December last year
Not good enough that you got my money and I got nothing

Extremely poor customer service
I am extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service I received. Ghine was unhelpful, inconsistent, and lacked the ability to provide a solution to my request. It seemed as if I was talking to an AI bot instead of an actual human. I would actively advise any future customers of this company to save your time, energy, and money.

Photostick experience
I connected it to my computer (iMac) and it took a long time to backup 58 GB (about 12 hrs).
When I tried to use it for my iPad it didn’t work. It did not connect and I tried everything believe me. And same story for my I-phone; no connection.
Very disappointed!

only partly copied files and then stopped working
I purchased two omni 4.0 photosticks as Christmas gifts. Neither of them worked. They copied some files and then just stopped working without finishing the job. I contacted customer support and it took them one hour while I waited for them to come up with a solution which they never did. They sent me one replacement which also did not work then told me I could not return the ones I originally bought as 30 days had passed. I am out $179 for two worthless items.

Hello Eileen
Thank you for reaching out today. Unfortunately, when you contacted us, you were already past your return period and this is why you were offered a replacement, as you no longer qualified for a return for refund, as per our return policies. Please reach out to our support center and ask for me (Rachel) and I will work with you further on this matter to get a resolution for you.

Expensive Thumb Drive with worthless app
The truth is that the PhotoStick is nothing more than an overpriced thumb drive with an app. There is apparently one for Windows PC's and another for Apple products. Biggest difference is that the format on the thumb drive in not compatible between the two. When it works, the app does not find photos in the cloud (iCloud, Google Drive, DropBox, etc). Seems to do a fair job finding photos and videos on the hard drive. The organization they boast about is not automatic and there is little, if any, documentation on it. If you call Customer Service they reluctantly agree to send a replacement as the standard "fix" for all problems. They did send me instructions on requesting a "RETURN AUTHORIZATION" however they do not ever respond to the request. Buyer Beware!

Issues for Mac based systems
The Photostick cannot put the photos/videos on the stick in date order with a Mac based system at this time. So your photos/videos will be in completely random order. The first customer support person I asked about this issue sent me a solution for a Windows based system. Ignoring the fact that I had said about needing a Mac based solution. The second support person was far more upfront and honest about this issue. So, yes, it backs up your photos and videos but that's it for Mac based systems. I would not recommend for a Mac based system at this stage.

If i could give minus 10 i would.
Do mot trust this company. I ordered in the christmas holidays, it still hasnt arrived. They keep sending me automated emails, tracking emails that are fake - and now thwy are saying they cant track once it leaves the us. Total crap service. Fake cheery customer service that are lying. And they refuse to reimburse because apparently they shipped - yes I stupidly bought two. And they have not stopped spamming me other nonsense devices. Rubbish. The whole experience is poor.
Edited- this reply is the same email they keep sending me. Then they say its been shipped and can’t be traced and cant give a refund because they shipped it. Such a scam.
