I bought the "pro" version a couple weeks back. I find it very versatile and have customized it to exactly what I want. I use it mostly in a Canon S100 which I carry with me. It will sync right to my iphone 3gs automatically with a direct WiFi connection. You can choose auto upload to many social media sites, however I choose the selective approach- you can set it to only upload protected images to facebook etc, giving control over what you release to the world. It is highly configurable, as example, I send only my Jpegs to my iphone, whereas the Raw images can go wirelessly to my computer (but actually I just use a card reader for this).

Once configured, which took about 10 mins, it worked well in my S100. Without any further adjustment, I switched the card to my canon t3i, which worked as well.

There is an endless storage feature which would upload to cpu then dump from the card, which I don't use.

It depends on what you want this for. I use it mainly to get better photos than my iphone would deliver (no flash), but still maintain the ability to use social media via my phone.

I highly recommend it for the purpose of sharing on social media, and you have control over what you "release" to the world, so no worries about sharing too much.

Cheers,

Rob

We use one on the Canon P&S camera we have on the fire department haz mat team. Connected through a dongle for other equipment it transmits images back to our command post pretty good. File transfers are slower than using a card reader or thethered to a computer, but if you need to pass a few images on it seems to be ok.
