The only minor quibble, although it seems rather ungenerous to say this given its price (or lack of it) is that you cannot export from it. Maybe an optional paid-for upgrade? ### 4/5 — Does what it says on the tin. *2022-06-09* I tried SIX other apps to see what lens I used with my 2005 Canon EOS 5D on a photo I took in 2019. I couldn't tell just by focal length and aperture. Every other app I used before this one either gave back no data, incomplete data or failed in some other manner. I'm glad to find an app that can do such a relatively simple task. ### 4/5 — omnisphere vst *2019-04-29, version 1.4* I juts bought this plugin vst and i need this to opne it, thanks :) ### 1/5 — 1 Star because can’t give 0 *2018-03-16, version 1.4* Trying to open .xps file, running around in ever siminihing circles. I refuse to pay a ransom to micro crud ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me *2018-03-16* Downloaded it only to have heiroglyphs when it “opened” the file. Very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Not for .VWX files, evidently *2017-10-26* I grabbed this because searches indicated this app could help me view a Vectorworx file my friend made for me. But, no joy. ### 1/5 — Does NOT Work *2017-09-13* Tried opening an fodt file and got a lot of programming and text formatting information but was unable to see message. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-08-29, version 1.4* Don’t waste your time for the reasons mentioned by others Colin ### 1/5 — mdc file *2017-06-06, version 1.4* didn’t work ### 2/5 — Don’t work *2017-03-02, version 1.4* I was looking an application to open XPS documents, as I cannot get the printer to work and I had to save a file in .oxps format. This kept crashing when trying to open a single page document using 10.12 so it went in the bin. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2016-10-06* Would not open up a *.TIFF file which is the only reason I downloaded it. APP bombed out on me! ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-06-06, version 1.4* Tried to use this to open an eml file. Didn’t work. ### 1/5 — i am disappointed *2016-06-02, version 1.4* Does not support TST files. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no zoom *2026-01-15, version 1.1* this works ok but you can’t zoom in on the file. I can’t read it. Useless to me. ### 1/5 — Problem *2025-08-12, version 1.1* App doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Does not work!!! *2024-04-18, version 1.4* Opened my Social Security Statement, a WSF fine, and it was pure gibberish..._y#_k#_r#_f#_g#_z#_t#_E#_U#_g#_b#_A#_V#_R#_L#_C#_t#_K#_W#_C#_y# etc,etc, etc....... ### 1/5 — terrible *2023-02-19, version 1.4* dumbest app i ever downloaded ### 1/5 — Misleading: "View Any File" *2022-02-04* I needed to open one file - a .vc2 file. This app can't do it. Maybe try "View Some Files." ### 1/5 — juice *2018-11-22, version 1.4* did not work ### 1/5 — nearly useless *2018-08-17, version 1.4* i use zen blue and saved files to jpeg though czi files were actually saved. I can see a complete list of my microscopy images all saved as czi. I can only view the metadata….very disappointed. ### 1/5 — App needs to be updated *2018-07-26* App doesn’t work needs to be updated, shows last update 2013 ### 1/5 — Viewing contents doesn't equal viewing the files *2018-06-07, version 1.4* Can't show .JNT or .ONE files in any meaningful way. Yes, it can access file contents, but this is no different from opening the file in a text editor - it's just a lot of garbled junk, practically. No capacity to load the content as an image. ### 1/5 — Doesn't open PPMs *2018-04-26, version 1.4* Downloaded this to open some old PPM files. PPM must be the most basic image format out there but this couldn't open it. It does have a nice interface but it fails in it's primary function. Don't bother. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Read xmp info on PSD files *2025-09-13, version 1.4* Wonderful for that ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-06-18, version 1.1* Absolutely love this work’s flawlessly ### 5/5 — Finally *2025-04-21, version 1.0* About time we can have a good look into the guts of a file. Ta... How ever after opening last photo taken, photos no longer views photo library , just last photo. Found problem, had set access to only one photo, once done couldn't be undone, as no settings within app🤪. Is a good app. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2023-03-28* It opens Microsoft Word files (docx) which is very helpful. And the hex and text views are awesome, too. ### 5/5 — Convenient for OneDrive, when Quick Look won't work *2022-08-16* Use it all the time, very convenient as an effective alternative when Quick Look isn't available (such as on Microsoft OneDrive) ### 5/5 — Sweet little app *2020-03-27, version 1.4* Very nice little app, all the better for being free. Sometimes I need to view file contents that a normal text editor can't handle. I could use a hex editor but this gives me a few different options including attempting to view the file as it should be seen. Ok, it crashed when closing so I sent a usual report to Apple but that could have been because I was viewing a large raw database file. ### 5/5 — It opened a RIS file *2016-06-07, version 1.4* It instaled fine and opened a RIS file no questions asked both content and metadata visible. Straightforward drag and drop interface. Very happy with the result. Sorry to hear that the app couldn’t open some file types for other reviewers but come on, its free try and if it works like in my case give it 5 stars and report the type of files. If it doesn’t well you may have wasted 2 minutes of your life (that’s how long it takes to download and get it running). It is not the end of the word and no need to badmouth the app, just report the kind of file it doesn’t open. Then other users can make up their mind instead of being scared away. For the record I have no connection to this app or the people that make it and promote it. I just thought I should stand up for what helped me (for free) to do my job. Thanks File viewer and keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Very useful, works well *2016-04-03* I’ve been recording exif data from my photos in a database. This free program worked really well! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2015-05-26, version 1.4* This app was very handy for inspecting file metadata, thank you :) ### 5/5 — Very Useful... *2015-01-19, version 1.4* Handy, for extracting info and data from unkown files. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
