### 5/5 — So Good!

*2026-08-22, version 26.6*

### 1/5 — Its a trap app

*2026-07-19*

First I trusted this app but now it is forcing me to subscribe or I can’t even view my own locked photos or files. Even I can’t even copy/move to another location. Please don’t fall for this fraud application.

**Developer response:** Files are never locked inside the app. If you don't want to subscribe after the free trial period, you can still use the Share menu for files in On My iPad or My Private Files to copy them to another app. If you have many to export, you can multi-select files and zip them ready for sharing. If you would like a 'pay once' app, please consider our FileBrowser Documents Manager and FileBrowser Professional versions.

### 1/5 — 途中で課金しろと言われる

*2026-06-25*

使いだしてから数日後かな。途中で課金しろと言われ、何もできなくなる。ゴミ！

**Developer response:** If you would like a 'pay once' app, please consider our FileBrowser Documents Manager and FileBrowser Professional versions.
