iStick it's a pendrive developed by Hypershop and presented through KickStarter. It is valid for Mac and PC Acting as a USB flash drive with a built-in Apple-approved Lightning connector, this nifty pen drive works with any current generation iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that has a Lightning port, allowing users to easily and safely move their data between computers, iPhones, iPads and iPod touch without using iTunes, cloud services or any other type of online platform.

There are different USB flash drives with even more capacity but unlike iStick they are not compatible with Apple iOS devices, iStick solves this problem by adding a "hidden" lightning connector on the other side of the USB drive.

    Hello, I have had an Istick for a long time and I am delighted with it on my Iphone / Ipad devices, on the other hand I also have a desktop Mac and I am not able to make it work on it, in fact I cannot find the application in the Apstore.
    And the fact is that I also have a laptop with windows operating system and it works perfectly and I have tested it on different computers and it also works.
    I don't know what I can do to open it on my Mac too. Thank you very much in advance.
