I bought a Moultrie SD card reader last year and it didn’t last very long. However, when I called customer service they were very helpful and sent me a new reader right away. Well, here I am not even halfway through the season and the “new” reader has stopped working. I will be on the phone again with Moultrie tomorrow but I was just wondering what you guys use to read your SD cards. I love their trail cams but this thing is definitely flawed. I have an iPhone 6s. Those readers, when working, are a neat little tool to have. I’m asking specifically about card to phone readers. Thanks guys

I have been using the iPhone card reader for 2 months and so far it’s been great and simple to use. I am pleased with it and checked card tonight and was pleased to find this guy on it.

I’ve had an Apple IPad reader since the first version of IPads! (Whenever that was). It is now a dedicated trail camera IPad. ;)

There is a new one out that has a dual connector; works for both iPhone and android. Partner uses it and it works fine on iPhone. Plug it in and delete, copy, etc in seconds.

Look for last year/discontinued tablets at your phone store. I'm an Android guy and found a closeout LG tablet for a dollar. Works great, excellent resolution.

I bought a cheapie and it burnt out after a few uses. Bought the SD card reader direct from apple and it's been going strong for a couple years now. Biggest problem is not misplacing those things.

I use the same one as T Mac (Apple, Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader). It works great on my iPad mini. Haven't ever tried it on an iPhone.

I had bad luck with the I-phone reader. It didn't last long at all before I got the "device not supported" message I just bought a stealthcam reader and so far I like it. I sure wish the phone reader would have worked out.

I own a Google Pixel 2. This works for me:

USB-C to USB adapter that came with the Pixel 2 Anker AR200 USB 3.0 SD and Micro-SD card reader SD cards of any type in the reader

Plug them all together, insert into Pixel 2, and the Android OS detects it like a USB drive and I can browse the photos and copy/delete on the fly before re-inserting the card back into the cam.

This also works with a regular USB stick drive using the same adapter for other types of files like movies and such.

I use an Apple card reader bought from Best Buy. I have an iPhone 6s. Works great in iPad too. Did not work in my former iPhone 5.

Friend of mine got a knock off one from amazon. Didn’t work at all. Card wouldn’t even insert all the way. $30-$40 I spent.

I have a Vivitar card reader that plugs into my android phone. It reads both sd and micro sd cards. I bought it at Staples

You could always use "media streamer" from Dane electric. It will work with anything because it creates it's own wifi.

I have the same one as T-Mac from Best Buy, not sure of the brand either. Had it for a couple years and works great. Twice I have left it in my pants pocket and ran it through the was machine and still works.

My Moultrie reader has lasted a few years so far and sometimes it doesn’t turn on I’m guessing loose battery connections. Keep trying it and it might work.

I bought one a couple of years ago off Amazon for around $10 that is still working fine. Don't know the make or manufacturer. Pretty sure it is from China...8^)

Android phone...

I bought a car reader fro the Apple store for my iPhone and it has worked flawlessly for 3 years. In sure there are cheap copies but I spend to much money on gear to be cheap and have problems.
