### 3/5 — Odd functionality

*2025-06-07*

For a file manager this app can do the task but it isn’t very user friendly. 
All I want to do is find all the larger file size of videos and images that are using up all the drive space on my phone so I can determine which ones to delete. So I need to be able to find them, see a thumbnail and the file size. 
Sounds like it would be fairly simple but it’s so very differently functional that I’m not really sure if I actually accomplished what I set out to do.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2025-02-21, version 2.8*

I don’t like it. I don’t understand how it works and I can never find files in any systematic way.

### 5/5 — A

*2025-02-03, version 2.8*

A

### 1/5 — Had this program for years, still can’t figure it out

*2024-12-31*

Can’t find instructions.  I go to App Support and that site just pushes more useless app offers at me.   Would sure be nice to have a HELP button with some instructions!  All I want to do it view images from a SD card.  Another debacle of an app!  One of many.

### 5/5 — Power tools

*2024-01-25, version 2.8*

A+

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-01-09, version 2.8*

Very busy.. I am trying to open image in the image gallery but when it opens the image , it crashes ..
I have the cache as unlimited but still crashing

### 4/5 — Yes

*2023-10-06, version 2.8*

Good for YouTube

### 2/5 — I nynh

*2023-08-14, version 2.8*

It

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-08-12, version 2.8*

This app is absolutely awesome!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2023-08-08, version 2.8*

It only seems to access the same files I can see in the photos app. What's the point of that? I can already access them.
