Not what I expected.
Ok, so first of all let me say I used to own a 16 GB Pro X2 Eye Fi Card and a D7000 from Nikon. This combo worked great as I set the camera to send Fine Jpgs to my Eye Fi and RAW's to my normal SD card. This combo would let me take up to 800 pictures. I could then chose which jpg I wanted to send to my phone and upload to instagram, fb or mostly show/send to my friends I recently made and upgrade to a Nikon DF which inconveniently only has one SD slot. Therefore I could only take about 250 pictures (RAW + JPG), so I decided I would upgrade my Eye Fi card to the 32 GB Version so I could take about 650+. Since it cost about 100 bucks, i assumed it would work just like my 16 GB Xpro2, but to my surprise it didn't.. Now even though I looked at the companies description, I failed to read the customers reviews. This is something I always do, but It seemed like a straight forward purchase. Same product, new version, more expensive, more space. It would lead to to believe that its an improve version... But it isn't. This card WILL NOT let you select which pictures you want to transfer, so this leads up to a simple conclusion: - In a card that lets you transfer 32 GB of pictures what would happen if you wanted to "instaly transfer" (as they advertise), one of the last pictures of the night to your friends or instagram? You would have to transfer about 10GB or more to your phone to get that one picture. This would: 1. take a lot of time 2. consume your phone and cameras battery 3. Fill up your phone. Im sure most people would end up having to delete pictures or apps to get to that one picture. And after that spend A LOT of time deleting the unwanted pictures and struggling with memory problems. So I don't understand why they took a perfectly good product and diminished it functionality while increasing the price. Its a pointless product in my opinion. I never want to transfer 32 GB of pictures to my phone or tablet. Just to my PC, and I don't mind taking the SD card and inserting it in my pc to do this. I would give it one star, but then again it does what advertised. Maybe not the "instantly" though. Changed my mind, i hate it. Giving it one star. Update 05/27/14 So I went on a trip to Mexico and took several pictures.. At the end of the day I wanted to show and send a picture of an artisan working to that same person.. This picture was no. 500 on the list. Before I was able to transfer them both my phone and my cameras battery died. and it took a loooong time. Way to go Eye Fi. Then I deleted all the the 499 pictures previous to this one and I found out that the iphone app was still taking 3.2 GB of space! I went to the apps trash can deleted it and the app was still taking the 3GB of space.. I had to delete the app, never downloaded it again and now I use my 32 GB 99 USD Eye Fi card as a normal 32 GB 30 USD flash card. Eye Fi has to include the selectiva transfer option like it has in the Xpro 2 model. Otherwise its useless.
