Leave a Review FE File Explorer Pro
Very useful
In my goal to use only my iPad Pro as a laptop replacement, the default file app isn’t powerful enough.
Indeed, if you want to copy a file from the file app to your NAS for example, it’s take a long time and the there no real ETA.
By using FE, not only you have an ETA (Accurate) but also it’s way faster !
A fantastic app to use also to connect to remote servers!
Convenient, useful, it deserves 5 stars
The only downside, but it’s not FE fault, you can’t set FE as default safari download folder, iPad OS doesn’t allow it.
Team,
A last word : A little cosmetic refresh would be appreciated :-)
ThanksShow lessEric_Hoffmann
A Swiss Army Knife
FE is a powerful file manager for managing and playing back files locally and on device. It’s still being updated and hasn’t been superceded by bloatware or ads like many others have. A+.dtimekeeper
Really suitable for Windows not MacOS
I was hoping this app would use the MacOS methods for sharing sign on and connectivity. Instead you have to turn on the Windows method of SMB which stores your password in a less secure manner on MacOS. Sure it works but there is a security price to pay. I can only assume this saves the development of the Apple means to access shared resources. Yes more work for developers but there are no shortcuts when it comes to security.Show lessCayossarian
Best File Explorer for IPhone
Very useful in taking offline backups for IphonePaulDavisBP
Best file browser app on iPhone
Samba shares with Linux or Windows. Sftp FTP Local files This is a go to app for networking on your lan or viewing media from your shares. I have it on my androids as well. Brilliant!Rotten-Ronnie
Slow with large picture libraries
Overall it is pretty good. If it supported more file formats, as far as video is conferenced it would be much better. It only supports what apple supports.
That and it doesn’t cache the files, so if you have a large photo or video folder, it will be slow to open the folder and then display the files, and then opening the files, be it photo of video, it will be slow.
If you don’t have too many pictures or videos and the formats it what you need, then it is fine.Show lessSignup should be banned
Something has gone wrong
Up until a couple of weeks ago this was one of my favourite apps, I was able to stream from anywhere on my home network straight to my IPad using this app and even watch videos straight from my seedbox. Suddenly the app doesn’t stream anymore, it just sits there thinking. I’ve tried freeing up space on the IPad as I thought that might be the reason but it has made no difference, the app seems to have completely stopped streaming.Show lessAlan Galaxy
IXpand bug
There’s a bug that’s causing use of an iXpand flash drive to not work properly with this app on iOS 15 on the latest update. For example there will be a bunch of blank pictures of photos in files on the iXpand that aren’t supposed to be there. This app is one of the last that supports iXpand flash drives, so I could really use an app like this for at least a few more years that does support it. I will take this unfair review down as soon as the bug is fixed and replace it with the 5 star review it deserves by highlighting its best features.
Update: Seems to be working for now, might have been the iXpand it’s self not this app that was the problem. Anyways thanks for continuing to support this app with the iOS 16 update.Show lessiTunes Forever1000
Very reliable and professionally made
I was hesitant to spend $7 on this, but frankly the user experience and feature set are well worth it
I only use the FTP and SMB ("NAS") connections, but based on those I can tell a lot of time and care was put into polishing this app
It even supports WEBM, which the apple itself refuses to support for some reason
That said I'm hesitant to believe its no-logs privacy policy since in its app privacy report (Settings app > Privacy > App Privacy Report) it seems to connect to skyjos.com (the developer's site) occasionallyShow lessJames C. Wise
Works Great
I’ve been looking for a program that allowed moving large video files between WD MYCLOUD and my iPad/iPhone possible. I have tried several other applications but none worked as well as this one has. It also makes it possible to rename files and modify file extensions something that all the other programs did not. I don’t mind paying a reasonable price for an app that works and this one does!Show lessrickmcbride
