We’re sorry for the problem. It can be updated now.Broken in version 11.0.2
Loved this app until today when I was trying to set up new connections to my router. It no longer discovers systems and displays them in "NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD" at the bottom of the screen. I have to input the IP address, display name, any old user name, and the router password to create a connection. The previous version allowed me to select a server from the network neighborhood, specify a user or "guest" to login with and save the connection. Please fix this.
As of August 24, 2023, the update will not install; the red update indicator remains after tapping the "update" button and the app DOES NOT update.
If it isn't going to update, please clear the flag that indicates it needs updating. Total junk.Show lessSnort Gas Wheeze
Latest august 2024 update
I can’t get the update to initiate on my iphone 14 pro max running IOS 16, it tries to start and cancels back to original state reflecting an update is available on the app. I have tried with and without Wi-Fi connection, I have tried connected to power source and without, and I have rebooted and tried, all with the same end results. The update of the app just will not go through.
I attempted to reach out to support but the link requests I install the stock Mail app on my phone, I do not utilize the stock Mail app so I could not reach out to app support, I hope they can resolve through here because this app is great for NAS setup functionalityShow lessninjamonkey8120

I wasn’t able to install update 11.2. I deleted the app to see if I can install it from scratch, now it won’t install at all. Please fix.Saggybeanz

Limited Batch Share, Move or Copy to Apps
Trying move a video file to an app called AVPlayerHD. Can’t move the file, however I can share the file. I can select all files I want to share, however regardless of how many files are selected, I can only share one at a time. There’s no option to automate the “share & delete” function - so after I’ve manually confirmed the share on the AVPlayerHD app, I need to delete the duplicated files. Please allow batch share, allow the app ie AVPlayerHD to be added to the sidebar and allow apps frequently used to be persistent in copy and move functions. Finally add a confirmation to a share function. Thanks.Show lessiBalls.Skeet
Plays 5.1 surround videos as multichannel
At last, a simple video player that plays mp4 videos as multichannel output and can see samba shared drives. Makes file organisation and use so much easier. Replaced VLC that does a good job but this is better. Well worth the cost (1 off too).Chris C Account
File Explorer on iPhone iPad
Absolutely brilliant for file transfers, in either direction, Phone <> PC. Photos straight to any desired folder on PC, Or in my case NAS (local file server). Or in the other, direct access (while on home WiFi) from phone or tablet to potentially confidential files in my entire 20-year files archive. But NOT then retained on phone as security risk when elsewhere. Unless you choose to.
Only improvement would be: Retain memory of recent PC folder destinations to avoid repeatedly having to navigate from root of target drive. So 4star until we see that.
But get it anyway.Show lessOLDAJAS
This is (no longer) the bee’s knees
If you examine the history, and compare to OwlFiles, you will see they share the same history (and owlfiles even claims some FE reviews).
FE is pretty much dead. They are only doing maintenance. No new features. I paid for Pro license, but now they are greedy and want to charge annual fee for pro features, so they change the name.
I realise that a one-off Pro charge is not reasonable. I regularly pay a reduced upgrade free for, say, CCC or VMWare (on macos). Significant new features, sure, pay to upgrade.
With the Owlfiles, there is no way to migrate to the new s/w. I cannot migrate my settings: it is a new, “completely different” app, with a new name, but a shared version history.
Whereas I still mainly like and use FE, I will be looking for a replacement.Show lessam-gems
