What phone do you have? I have the I phone and it was a plug and go. I'll look and see what brand.

Problem is, some of the trail cameras (Cuddeback and StealthCam for example), format the card so that it can't be read when you pop it into a digital camera. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and used the apple SD adapter this year to view my pics. The apple adapter only works with (I believe) the 5s and later iPhones.

I used the boneview this whole season with an iPhone. Worked great until it stopped working.

Ha. For the chance you may run into an image you weren't expecting, here's the link to the "boneview card reader"

https://www.boneview.com

I honestly really liked this device. I may contact the company and see what they say about it not working anymore.

I've got a Wildgame Innovations card reader, pretty nice little unit. The screen is 2"x3 3/4, you can zoom on the pictures and have adjustable audio on video. I have no idea what it costs because my wife got it for me for Christmas a couple year ago. I'll try and post a picture it didn't work my first try.

I have the WildGame Innovations unit, I really like it. I would recomend keeping it in a protective cloth bag or something. I made the mistake of letting it rattle around in my backpack and in the gear box behind my seat, and now it has some pretty bad scratches on the screen.  :twocents:

I have a card reader for my phone.  Honestly, it is a bit kludgy to use.  Have to plug in, then find and open an app to search the folders on your phone then open the images.  Mine would not scroll thru images, had to open one look, close it then open the next.  Does it work, yes.  Work well, meh not IMHO.

The bone viewer sucks IMO. Like my much older wild game innocations reader, even though I can't save files to it.

Problem with the bone viewer is it wouldn't load s.d cards with more than a few hundred pictures to my s5.

I also bought the reader for my Iphone, very simple to use with the free app and you can save the images directly to your phone which is exactly what i was looking for. Got mine off Amazon for $20

I just use a 9" tablet... larger screen for viewing, plenty of hard drive to store pics, able to delete pics from SD card and put back in camera, sort pics for later viewing and knowing where they were taken...  light and easily fits in backpack...

Bone viewer sucks.  I bought one and it says it's a counterfeit product and doesn't work half the time.
