Non standard UI controls

The UI doesn’t act the way you’d expect based on other iOS apps. I’ve used this for years but the UI is so bad I’m amazed this was even approved

Edit: your little video player is awful. Why aren’t you using Apple’s controls? Double tapping on images also doesn’t work half the time as it recognizes it as two quick single taps. Literally no other iOS app I’ve ever used does this. I’m actually amazed you managed to code something this awful on an iPhone. Hopefully that clears up your concerns about how terrible your UI is.

Let’s not forget about how the UI comes up simply if you rotate the device. Did I ask for that to happen, or did I simply want to rotate my orientation? Now I’m having to tap again for the garbage UI to disappear, and the timing of this also doesn’t line up with Apple’s systemwide standard. So frequently I tap while it’s actively going away, which means I have to tap AGAIN. The fact that you don’t know this makes me wonder if you even use your own app?

So to answer your question, what kind of UI do I like? A good one that functions as intended.

Do better.

Feature Removal

Features I’ve relied on, such as save photo to phone, have been removed with recent updates. Many things that were UI based are now hidden for a “cleaner” design, destroying the usability. Time to look for an alternative.

Update: Your moving the button to the share sheet is the problem, there’s more steps introduced for a feature that was originally not hidden in a menu.

Tolle App, sehr nützlich, seit Jahren von mir genutzt

Diese App ist für mich auf dem IPad extrem hilfreich. Filetransfer in alle möglichen Richtungen, Bilder, Audiofiles, Filme auf dem NAS, in der Nextcloud, auf der SD-Karte, auf dem Pad, ansehen, abspielen, weiterleiten, umbenennen, kopieren… Ich nutze sie seit Jahren. Immer mal wieder ein Update und das zu einen guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ohne wiederkehrende Kosten.
Das Einzige was ich noch nicht verstanden habe ist die Ordnerstruktur auf dem Pad, wo finde ich was. Aber das ist eher ein Apple-Sandbox-Thema denke ich.
Perfekt! Vielen Dank dafür. Liebe Grüße

FTP server issue

Downloaded the app solely for the FTP server feature. It is so stupid that I have to connect to some wifi first before starting the FTP server. Why can’t I just start the server over mobile data, start the personal hotspot, and connect the second device to the hotspot to bring them in one network. Please add this functionality.
