BuckStruck Game and Trail Camera Viewer for Android Devices, Micro USB Connection, Reads & Writes SD and Micro SD Cards for Hunting and Game Camera Card Reader

First, I'm using the card reader with a Droid turbo 2 version 6.0.The first time I used the reader was in the field. I had Nexus photo viewer and file manager (cheetah mobile) downloaded already. So I'm good to go, so I thought. I figured out how to see pictures but, for the life of me, I couldn't delete and/or save pictures. All this while getting devoured by skeeters. Finally I just grabbed a card out of a camera and took it home to mess with.I still couldn't figure it out so I contacted Buck Struck via email. The response was immediate and they walked me through it. I ended up buying the pd version of USB Media Explorer for like 3 or 4 bucks. I'm not sure if the free version of media explorer would have worked but I did figure out that I couldn't have nexus photo and file manager on at the phone at the same time for the card reader to work. I kept getting a thing popping up saying there were 2 file managers and it would possibly mess things up, to put it in layman terms.So without making this any longer I uninstalled photo viewer and free version of file manager and now only had the pd version of USB Media Explorer left. It is so easy to go along now and see/delete/save and share pictures it's just fabulous. I can't wait to go out and check cameras now because I can take my bow with and hunt at the same time.I knew as soon as I saw this product, specifically for Android and if it worked, would be exactly what I wanted. It is exactly what I wanted and needed. The tech support was/is 2nd to none. Would give more stars if possible.

The only true issue that I have with this is that the internals and the casing seems pretty brittle. When I first put a SD card in the entire internals shifted back and now it moves around inside the casing. I am happy I got the storage case for it because if I didn't I have a feeling that I might have crushed the housing of the reader just riding out to the bait site. A really big plus is there was no need to download software to view the pictures, however, additional software is needed for video's which I can understand. Plus I typically don't use video's because I use my camera for baiting bear in Alaska. Once again excellent product just small deficiencies and very little time to wait on the reader to recognize the SD Card. I am also using a Samsung Note 4 Edge. Photo pulled off with the reader.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! It is just what he needed. Now he can check his deer cam pictures at the location without having to bring it home and put the card in the laptop and then take it back to the camera. This has made it much easier for him and less time consuming. The only think that I don't like about it, is that you have to open each picture individually with your gallery on your phone, instead of swiping and viewing them easily. We scan through the thumbnails and select each one that we want to see but have to first upload it to the gallery on the Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone. It comes with a small instruction paper that also has a website to go to and a app to download for it, we have not had to download the app because the pictures came up immediately after inserting the device into the phone, it worked perfectly, but the app may help with the viewing and may have a easier way to swipe and scroll through the pictures, we will check it our for sure to see if it does help with that. We were also able to save the pictures that we wanted and delete the memory card afterward. I highly recommend it! My husband loves it! The only present that would have been better is a 12 point buck in the back of his truck, lol..

The good: There was not setup for my device(Samsung Galaxy S5 Active). I just put in an SD card and plugged it in. The pics came right up.The bad: I'm unable to flip through the pics on the card. I can select a pic from the list view or the grid view. This pulls the pic up to full screen view. But then, i'm unable to swip to view the next pic. I have to hit the back button and select another pic to view. This gets pretty annoying when trying to look through 500-600 pics.

I've tested it on any Samsung Galaxy using assorted SD cards up to 16 GB. I really like the unit and love that it acts just like any other storage such as the micro SD in my phone. I also like that it instantly pops up on the screen and I can simply upload whichever photos I want to my phone, to Dropbox or wherever I choose. I tested it using an SD card from photos taken with a full body cameras. I will use it for my trailcam too but have so many other uses. Maybe someone has taken an awesome picture with their digital camera. I could instantly borrow the SD card from that person and upload the photo to my cell phone with this gadget. That gives me the option of emailing a photo in a pinch that was just taken with a digital camera. Good stuff.

I purchased this because I thought it would be easier to check my game cams with because I always have my phone with me. When I tried using it in the field it failed miserably. The game cams showed plenty of pics to be viewed but when I inserted the card into the viewer it would immediately delete all the pics. The third cam that I checked I placed the card into my old trail cam viewer and the pics on that card came up fine but when I places the card into the BuckStruck viewer it erased them again. I tried using this on my Note 4 and my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the same results.I would not, based on my experience, recommend this product.

So worth it. I was going to hide for my husband for xmas but decided to give it while he can use it. Photos are clear and beautiful, pops up right on your screen to view them, only down fall is one of our cameras takes an odd shape SD card and it won't read that one but then again nothing will so no loss there. This is a great way to have immediate access in the woods so you know if your in the right spot or need to move locations for you and your stand without having to leave the woods first. Good luck hunters. I can't wait to see what else this company sells.
