Installed adware and a virus to my computer
roarkryDecember 31, 2012
Pros
It does indeed install the iDevice Manager software and it works as advertised..however, i'd recommend iphonebrowser over it now that i've tried both
Cons
Installed tons of junk to my system that i cannot uninstall cleanly. Shame on CNET for hosting this garbage. Now i have this bogus Incredibar and "free" games littering my PC.
Summary
Go find something else and don't use the above link, it will infect your computer.
Very helpful application, particularly edit of contacts
Toni2011_05September 21, 2012
Pros
I like this program. It's easy to use and has some functions in one application. I do not need more programs, because it involves many things. Like: - Edit and export contacts - Ringtone ans SMS tone assignment to contacts - Add images to contact persons - Export and reading of iMessages, SMS and emails - Create ringtones - Use my device as storage to exchange files
Cons
iTunes is needed
Summary
Useful application
The user experience is better as iTunes.

Pros
The new version is great. The creating of ringtones is easily and the download of music, videos, photos, emails and sms also.
Cons
No upload of photos.
Summary
Newer is not always BETTER!

Pros
I guess if you just want to manage photos, which you can do anyway with this. Or Create Ringones, which there are free apps for anyway. Or use as a Flash Drive, then whatever.
Cons
The older version of this program would allow you to access even more areas of your iphone. Is it just me or are all the Apps missing from the explorer part of this Iexploer. With the old version you could modify your apps (games more specificly) by changing the SQLITE files (with the help of an extra program). So to me this is garbage.
Summary
You get what you pay for, and this is free so, whatever.
Doesn't seem to work with iOS 5.0

Pros

Locks up whenever I try to upload a ringtone or access files.
Summary
i can do things like read sms contacts download files
starfvckerOctober 19, 2011
Pros
simples and quick
Cons
no contact editor, sms editor
Summary
Would Not Run on My PC
MJfromMDJuly 24, 2011
Pros
Never got the chance to assess it.
Cons
Upon opening, it reported "encountered error". Would not debug. Only option was close program.
Summary
I am running Win 7 x64. Perhaps that was an issue? Wish it would have worked. Ridiculous what you have to go thru just to be able to browse your Iphone files. Itunes is so mysterious as to what you are doing its stupid. Export? Import? referencing what? PC? phone? The app should be simple AND FREE. After paying what is charged for the device, service, accessories etc. - enough is enough!
So good so far
charvelguyJuly 5, 2011
Pros
Allows access to all files and root directory/folders.
Cons
As above reviewer states, this is a powerful tool and, there are warnings within the software about making changes without backup or knowledge of where it may lead and possible damage it may cause.
Summary
I needed to circumvent Itunes for copying audio files. Namely, I wanted full access to my voice memo's without having to preview them thru or plug them into Itunes. I also need to edit the voice memos and be playable in a standalone audio editor. There were a few other programs I had found that could handle this with user friendliness but they were shareware, - free trial to paid with limited use. I've so far only taken voice memo audio off the Ipod drive as downloads. Uploads, I cannot comment about. The GUI is pretty intuitive, but, I had to transfer files by clicking on them one at a time. even though, by holding shift I could transfer them in groups, and the transfer was very quick, it would be great to have a 'select all; feature. If there is one there, I didn't find it in the first 5 minutes of use.
Great Little Program
dreadnestaJune 22, 2011
Pros
Allows full access to device Able to edit/delete/export/import just about anything
Cons
Can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing
Summary
This is not the program to learn the way the iPhone works - you may have to restore if you delete the wrong thing. I used it principally to move ringtones (my custom ones) from one iPhone to another - I own both phones. The Download worked great, but the Upload tried to rename my files. So I just copied directly from my PC into the Library/Ringtones folder rather than upload on their Ringtones tab.so it does not rename my files. Again please educate yourself before using. Works as advertised, and great free program.
Good tool to manage the Apple devices

Pros
The functions are easily to use and fast. One program with a great scope of functions.
Cons
iTunes is required

Export of sent and received short messages (SMS) and emails, whether the mailboxes are POP3, IMAP or Microsoft Exchange Server to your PC or to Microsoft Outlook. The program provides extensive search capabilities to quickly find your favorite music, interpreter, according to albums, songs from certain age and other criteria. The iDevice Manager can also be used as a medium to exchange of software or documents. Simply drag 'n drop files or folders from PC to the program or in the opposite direction on device. Another highlight is the editing of contacts outside of your iDevice and Outlook. You can change comfortable from your computer - e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, as well as the image of the contact person and notes can be change or delete. Many users will be pleased to also be added or change ringtones and SMS tones to contacts. Who does not want to assign a ringtone consuming multiple contacts using the "Assignment" function, which allows handling arbitrarily assigned tones and updated many contacts in one step. For die-hard Apple followers, the application offers a file explorer so that the file system can be explored or copy as many files to a PC or can be transferred to the device. The iDevice Manager is known as the "Swiss army knife" because it combines numerous functions to the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to manage in any situation.
