### 5/5 — Excelente

*2020-07-31, version 9.75*

Realmente es muy buena y muy útil!! Mucho mejor que otras sobre valoradas!

### 3/5 — Ich finde sie klasse

*2018-10-28, version 9.75*

Hab lange zeit damit etliches ziehen können. Vor allem Clibs.
Nur seit kurzem kann ich nix mehr lesen bzw. bedienen da alles auf Chinesisch ist. Wie stellt man es um?

### 2/5 — Abandoned, full of bugs, unusable

*2018-06-17, version 9.75*

This app used to work good but since it's been abandoned it doesn't seem to even work on iOS 10. Every SMB network download results in a blank page. The app freezes on most downloads. Bugs galore. I wasn't actually able to find a single function that I could get to perform properly. 

Shame because I reviewed this app back in 2015-17 or so and it worked good back then. I'm deleting it.

### 1/5 — Open browser

*2018-04-03, version 9.75*

this app is not appropriate for kids. there is a browser without filter.

### 4/5 — 探していた機能がある

*2017-09-07, version 9.75*

wi-fi SDカードリーダー ELECOM MR-WI01 に繋いだ GARMIN GPS eTrex20 から GPXファイルを iPhone、iPadに取り込み、スーパー地形に読み込むことができた。課金区分が多いので、★四つ

### 1/5 — Fails to find my Mac

*2017-07-02, version 9.75*

The network search found a wintel PC on my wifi network but it could not find my Mac. Searching manually accepts an IP address but defaults to a port # which is not helpful. Clear the port #, tap OK, and it asks for a password but does not provide a place to input it.

### 4/5 — Works

*2017-05-09, version 9.75*

Works as described. New interface looks good.

### 1/5 — Полный ацтой

*2017-01-28, version 9.75*

Где файловая система? Где возможность навигации и просмотра директорий? Удалил через 5 минут.

### 1/5 — I purchase ad free but now i cant login

*2017-01-07, version 9.60*
