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. ### 4/5 — Yes *2023-10-06, version 2.8* Good for YouTube ### 2/5 — I nynh *2023-08-14, version 2.8* It ### 2/5 — Use its own directory completely detached from the default *2023-03-14, version 2.8* I can’t attach any document from what this app has shown nor does this app show any file from the iOS’s ‘On My iPad’ local folders ### 1/5 — Not working-Nov ‘22? *2022-11-22, version 2.8* Installed to iPhone but cannot get it to find any files or folders. ### 1/5 — This software doesn't work at all *2022-09-23, version 2.8* 😅😅 I can't open the file I want to see ### 3/5 — Files *2022-08-13, version 2.8* How to create folders ### 1/5 — Trash if you don’t pay *2022-06-20, version 2.8* But also trash if you do. ### 1/5 — Nothing! No files, no folders *2022-05-19* I downloaded a song and wanted to see where it went. Downloaded your app and view local only takes me to the user guide. Users guide only tells me how great it is and to buy the pro version for 5 bucks. I go back to view local and there are no folders. I can see photos in the gallery but I can do that in Photos. I should see a folder called Music with the song I downloaded. Doesn’t work and I won’t buy it without trying it. ### 1/5 — broken app *2022-04-12, version 2.8* doesnt show my files ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — no files *2023-06-08, version 2.8* there are no bo local files on my iphone. white on light grey is barly readable. not usable. ### 1/5 — Very poor app *2023-05-19, version 2.8* Do not waste your time with this app. This app fails to display folders and files easily displayed on my other file apps. Worthless. ### 1/5 — No *2023-04-26, version 2.8* Useless junk ### 1/5 — Utterly Useless. *2023-04-11, version 2.8* Can’t see file structure at all. Miss my BlackBerry every day that passes. ### 1/5 — Has Google built into it *2023-01-11* Settings shows generic web browser, which I don't have that. Tap that and opens Google. My iPhone has no Google apps. Safari has duck duck default also Safari is shut down in settings and not used. I use duck browser only. Besides that issue default iPhone files shows same info. You have to pay for more ### 1/5 — No ~\username home directory access *2023-01-10, version 2.8* It does NOT do everything micro$oft file Explorer does, NOR does it do what Apple Mac’s “Finder” does. It does not allow access to the root of your user directory ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A *2025-02-03, version 2.8* A ### 5/5 — Power tools *2024-01-25, version 2.8* A+ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-08-12, version 2.8* This app is absolutely awesome! ### 5/5 — No download *2023-08-04, version 2.8* Not enough space on device! ### 5/5 — File manager *2023-07-10, version 2.8* Work very nice ### 5/5 — I love the app *2023-07-09, version 2.8* Good job ### 5/5 — Don’t know what I’m Doing *2023-06-09* I do not like the file system at all. I finally got this app and things went smoother but I can’t see what I am actually doing! I am lost at this if you could provide some more insight, it would be very helpful. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Works great even in old tablets *2022-10-21, version 2.8* We were given an old iPad and we use it only to read music. This app check all the boxes.
