SDrescan

My phone would reset by itself and delete some of my photos so i got suggested this app and it wont even open. Thanks for all the help. ????????

Gallery app is now finally updated with the pictures I copied to my SD card last month... although the question remains why we need an App to force this to happen rather than Android doing it by itself... even the Refresh option in the Gallery itself didn't work. Anyway, this does exactly what it's meant to do, great little utility app.

When I rooted my device my old photos & some downloaded mp3's/ringtones would not show up on my device. I could view/listen to them through the file manager, but for some reason the device would not repopulate them in the photo gallery/music player. Sdrescan fixed that issue. My Photo gallery is now repopulated with my missing photos, and I can now listen to my missing music/ringtones without going into file manager. Definitely would recommend this app.

It's unfortunate that this app is even sometimes necessary. Gallery should always immediately pick up on new media, especially since it takes an extra few seconds for it to load up files anyway.

Music disappeared from my galaxy nexus while I was in roaming and without Internet connectivity. It didn't come back until I found this app. Thanks!

I could not see music which I added straight from a USB drive to my phone using an OTG cable but then I ran this and now my music app can see it. This worked even after two restarts did not.

I have a Chinese book app, and I downloaded some Chinese book files. After connecting my Nexus 7 to my PC, I open the "book" folder to back up, but the book files are no where to be found. I have 2 android devices, and the other one does not have the same problem. After trying for hours, I finally followed a recommendation that I have seen in one of the forum and downloaded this “SDrescan” app. WOW, in 2 seconds, THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!

Essential if you're copying data in non-standard ways like rsync. Nagging pop-ups a bit annoying tho

Awesome app. Does exactly what it says on the tin. My gallery not refreshing has been driving me to despair until I used this!

Problem on my Audio/Sound files, I've refreshed many times and still showing my old file name, even no use on reboot. I did patience on the refreshing, but anyway, not work for me. Thanks.

Had to delete a thumbnail for music files and I thought I deleted all my music and photo files which didn't show, now everything is back to normal with this brilliant App... Thank you.

This app saved my htc music app as it wasn't able to see the music on my sd card for some reason. Worth downloading and I recommend it to everyone to use when apps just don't see the files on your sd card.

I don't usually review, but I just wanted to say thanks- couldn't find some pictures, ran and then they were there! Thanks a bunch :) HTC inspire

Comment below: we rate apps based on how well they do what they set out to do obviously... NOT on what we WISH THEY DID, genius. 5 easy stars!

Fixed a very annoying problem on my Droid after 2.1 was installed. Not sure why Droid wouldn't do this automatically.

About my missing pics I thought were deleted. Couple seconds to d/l and run this app. They're back :) awesome!

Great application, comes in very handy! But please change that nasty icon!! The days of huge square boxes for icons have thankfully gone, gw tho.

The gallery was only displaying the newest photos, with one run of this program it was fixed!

The application works sometimes, but not consistently. At times it seems to be frozen with a "preparing" message. Other media scanner applications seem to be more reliable.

This app is simply amazing! Too bad I don't need it since I rooted my phone and it does it automatically.

When I plug my gnex into my PC, it doesn't show new files sometimes. This app fixes that problem. I would like to narrow down the folders it scans just to speed things up, so hopefully the dev adds some options like this.

Doesn't even open, just crashes the second I click the icon

Just downloaded it to fix some pictures but when I accept the agreement it immediately crashes. Please fix then I'll give a better review. Thanks

I use the Rescan Media app, but this one does it's job well too. Only idiots rate a simple app poorly for being too stupid to figure out how to use it

Just what I needed. Reese if you need to move a 16kb app to sd you have issues.

Worked great until the last update on LG G2 with kitkat software. Now crashes before it even starts.

Useless app that doesn't even open. I would give it no rating if that was possible.

I love this app but i hate that my phone is having trouble with rescanning the SD Card almost everytime i download something new to it. Today, i looked in my gallery and saw no Pictures nor Videos because of recently downloading 1 video. I ran this app and after several minutes of it scanning (like 3 to 6 minutes because there's a lot to scan on my SD Card lol), i saw all of my Pictures and Videos back in my Gallery again. It works for me so i love it! It's small and simple and doesn't take up much space!

Kept crashing every single time I tried to open it. Uninstalled.

After launching, it says it has stopped working, and crashes. Using an HTC One (M7).

App launches, but doesn't work on my LG , pictures do not show up in gallery

This fails on startup every single time. (Was hoping this would fix my problem of computer not recognizing new files on connected tablet without rebooting tablet; Yes to MTP, all that jazz. Used to work fine, but trouble ever since having to factory reset tablet a few weeks ago.)

When my phone played up and lost all my photos/vids.. they were back in an instant with this app. So easy to use!

thanks, this solves my issues with MTP on Win8 with Nexus 4, MIUI v5 4.2.2 rom

I had spent an amazing morning skating with my kids and somehow when I got home all the pics and.video I took were gone. I downloaded sd rescan, ran it once, and everything came back!!!! I am so happy...best app ever!!

Very useful app. Means you don't have to take your card out and put it back in, for music and video to update. HTC Desire.

If you transfer files from es file explorer or sim... This app saves you a reboot. I use this app when I transfer mp3s from my box upstairs. Perfect.

Worked the first time I downloaded, never did anything after that. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, but still nothing. Endless "Preparing"...

Some apps don't cause Android to update its internal file tracking and SDRescan allows me to see those files when I connect my phone to my computer using MTPFS. Thanks!
