USB Media Explorer

Homesoft, LLC

About this app

USB Media Explorer (UME), formerly known as Nexus Media Importer, allows you view photos (Jpeg and Raw), stream videos¹, listen to music, and view documents from USB storage devices and cameras. Specialized screens for photos, videos, music, documents and file management. Copy files to and from the USB device. View full size photos and videos without importing!

Supported Devices:
- Flash/Pen Drives
- Card Readers
- Hard Drives²
- Cameras³
- Other Android devices⁴
- MTP/UMS audio players⁵
- Some DVD drives⁶

Additional Hardware Requirements:
- Connecting most devices will require a microUSB OTG cable or USB C to USB adapter. These are available from most major retail websites.

Notes:
1. Video and audio formats not natively supported by Android (AVI, Dolby, DTS, WMV) may require a third party player like VLC.
2. Hard drives require considerable power and may require an external power source, like a powered USB hub.
3. Only cameras with storage are supported. Live image devices like endoscopes and webcams are not supported.
4. To access another Android device, put the target device in MTP/File Transfer Mode.
5. Most “i” devices use a proprietary protocol. These are NOT supported.
6. Only DVD drives that support AV Connect mode or similar are supported. See your DVD drive manual. Commercial DVDs are not supported.

Support:
- If you have an issue, you can tap "Homesoft" from the About screen for email support. I read and reply to reviews, but due to their one way nature, it’s difficult to resolve issues. If you have a support request, please include the Android device you are using, the USB device you are trying to use and a description of the problem.

Ratings and reviews

Was once a 5 star app I've used for years that was brilliant. For me it doesn't deserve one star now. I couldn't really use it. UPDATE. Dustin tried to fix the problems but only succeeded fixing one (the search button) must say Dustin is trying to fix the problems. Tracks missing from albums, some with only one or 2 tracks or none at all. Open the folders and it mixes them up!?

I have used this app for a very long time and was very happy with it. Having just installed the latest update, I have to say that I am very disappointed. I don't like the new interface,. My music on both internal and installed card have the artist and album titles truncated making them virtually unreadable. Not only that over half of them are displayed in what looks like chinese characters. Please "if it aint broke" etc.

Fantastic App! This is the best photo viewing App. I've tried so many and most are way too slow to load with small thumbnails and constant crashes. This is perfect! Large thumbnails that load very fast. It's just like looking through your photo gallery with clear, speedy & large thumbnails. It's definitely worth paying for Apps like this. Very Highly Recommended!
