TL;DR: Apples Lightning SD Card Reader always "just works". Full review: Bought an Eye-Fi X2 card to use with my Olympus OMD-EM5 (which has explicit support for the Eye-Fi, including on-screen icons for connection status/transferring). PhotoSnitch was supposed to be "the perfect way" to transfer pictures from various events directly to my iPad. I got the X2 card configured to use the wifi network, but never got ShutterSnitch to transfer more than one picture at a time, and even then just getting ONE was really flakey: I kept getting "Timed Out" messages after it transferred 90% of an image. Getting it to work again after that was an exercise in futility. I made sure all the sharing options in the Eye-Fi Center were disabled, that the Eye-Fi "helper" wasnt running in the menu bar on my Mac, that I wasnt shooting in raw mode, etc. I even reduced the JPEG quality from Fine to Normal to reduce the image size/transfer time. All to no avail. I found a custom URL from the ShutterSnitch forums to increase the timeout length. Nothing worked. All in all, just a frustrating, disappointing experience and waste of money on one of the more expensive iOS apps Ive purchased. I wouldve much preferred a free app that wouldve allowed me to verify that transfers worked reliably, with an in-app purchase to unlock full functionality.
