FileViewer XL for iPad User Reviews

Top reviews

Pretty good

Was exactly what I needed to load all my PDF drawings onto and arrange them nicely into individual folders. However, there is no way to grab multiple files (that I could find) at 1 time and move them into a folder. You have to move each file individually. This definitely makes the arranging process take longer then needed, but this is still a good product overall.

Fantastic App!

Just what I needed. Easy to use. Includes a terrific PDF viewer. Opens email attachments. Support is excellent. Highly recommended!

Great idea...app needs work

Way too slow. I've had this app for about 3 months now. They have yet to come out with a newer version to address the sluggishness. When you have multiple files loaded onto your iPad, it can take over a minute to scroll to the next page just to see the rest of your list, which makes the app fairly unusable.

perfect

Set up with bonjour in minutes. works like a dream. this is the 3rd file transfer program i have tried and is the best.

It works But?

good thinking but app needs work it's very slow xfer through wifi, a little tricky for someone who doesn't know there way around "my network places" I lost like one gig of space on iPad when it failed to copy and I couldn't delete file off iPad due to the fact I couldn't find file? xfer through USB via iTunes works fine but if you have to plug in what's the point of the app?
All and all the app does what it says and it works fine minus the lost space on my iPad? was it worth four dollars NO

Have used most of the viewers and find FileViewer XL fits my needs best. There are
few files it won't open even a 3.2GB mp4 and all this on an early net book.Have had
occassion to ask author for assistance and received prompt solution. I would give it
a 9/10

Pretty good

Transferred files over wireless using Win7 easily enough with the instructions in the app. Having trouble creating folders in the pictures section, only figured out how to create them in the "All" section.

Need slideshow functionality for pictures section.

How about that pic slideshow functionality?

Works great - beats some of the PDF readers out there

Compared against PDF Reader Pro for iPad - File Viewer XL out performed and was able to read all files I transferred over, where PDF Reader Pro couldn't. Great user interface!

Poor Performance

After many hours researching different apps to be able to view different files especially large pdf's on the ipad, I decided on this one because of the features it said it had. once loaded I placed a PDF file that was 18mb in size into it. this is the main file that I use for sales. - The view of the file was pathetic... it was very slow and would STALL when trying to flip from one page to another. ther was no way i could show my customers something int he pdf file with this poor performance. - There is NO search feature when viewing the PDF so that was a huge downfall. in large pdf documents this is a must feature. - I did like the ability to mount the ipad as a wireless drive ont he network... files were easily transfered to the ipad. I removed this app 2 days after I purchased it and feel it is not worth the money I paid for it. I have since downloaded GOODREADER and it is exceeding my expectations as was considerably cheaper. anyway thats my 2 cents...
