App lock for TV needed

Can you add an app lock to the TV app please?

The best file management app without doubt

Makes it extremely easy to access local files on any drive, server or computer in addition to remote devices or cloud providers. Great app and loaded with features. The pro version is worth it and full of value.

Force me to pay to look at my own files view

A problem when is asking for payments

Very Well Done

The reason I am switching from the Files app is because files that have not been touched for a while need to be downloaded again in order to preview. So I was trying out different file manager alternatives, and this one is one of the few that takes my list.

I would say that it has the best explorer than the others. It is the only one that allows you change the size of file and folder thumbnails. It also allows you to set thumbnail images to videos, which is a very impressive feature. Even the video viewer has a realtime scrub feature. And the design of the file manager feels very welcoming and right at home.

There is a breadcrumb navigation tree for easier navigating, a history menu, and adding folders with large storage space is very easy and can be done quickly. With competitors such as Documents, it can be quite a hassle.

Now there are a couple of issues. One is that it takes a long time for files to process when there are large amounts inside a folder. The thumbnail preview can take a long time to display, and I cannot view the files. There is a long wait.

I have other suggestions that are not criticisms, but just personal preferences. Compared to other alternatives, there are more options for viewers. Like in the default image viewer, I see that the thumbnail images are below, but I like an approach where you can scrub through in a flipbook fashion. (I animate.) I would also like a playlist feature in the video viewer.

One last thing is that I would like an option to group files. This is one thing that the Files app gets right. Maybe have options to group by name, tag, type, and etc.

Unusable without subscription.

Looking for an alternative for PDF Expert & looks like it might be good, but can’t click on anything with out a Subscribe popup.
Should at least be able to open a pdf!

More like a Demo for the paid one

You can move around to experience the UI but you cannot open files, which kind of defeats the purpose. So it's more like a preview of a subset of features of what the paid one can do.

Dark mode

It would be better if the release notes with every update wasn’t a full bright white screen when I’m set to dark mode. Otherwise great app.

Good

Please add the option to hide permissions in list mode for the SFTP location.

Intrusive and deletes folders when uninstalled

it was horrible. kept running my files through its app when not wanted.

Useless if keeping SMB sync between Obsidian vault

I bought this app thinking that I could maintain a synced SMB share. It turns out thatBoth apps maintain separate sandboxed shares. I filed for a refund within an hour, but it was denied.

Beware of such apps which don’t even give you a short trial!

Everything is behind locked doors

Almost every even remotely useful feature is locked behind a paywall which is ridiculous!

Excellent App but needs some features.

This app solved the many problems Apple created in order to “keep your phone secure”.
I rate it excellent with several suggestions to the developers:
1-. It needs a counter so you will know how many files were copied/total files to be copied.
2-. A sync/bak pause option will be very useful specially when you copy a large amount of files.
3-. HEIC conversion option is a must.

Other than that, is the best backup/sync app I have found in the App Store. And price is very reasonable.

App is dead and payed for broken app

Payed for a month subscription after I imported some files, won’t let me delete or move them unless I get a subscription. Proceeded to get a subscription and the app glitches out when I click restore purchase and thinks I still do not have one. What a joke of a company and an app

It should have a confirm to delete copy or paste confirmation because I almost deleted a key file

Your application is very good so far I’m gonna be doing more tests about it but I’m not happy with the fact that I was deleted a file that made my game run so you need to do a confirmation before doing anything like delete it even copy and paste, please update it to make it happen.

Pictures from NAS

So far working well. Allows me to setup an iPad to attach to my NAS. Select multiple picture and video folders and display as a slide show.

Unbelievable

The developers of this app were actually smart enough to add in HDMI full screen support. Making it possible to fit your entire screen to any external screen 👍 However, sadly enough the developers forgot to add the simple functionality of being able to rotate the screen👎 This was enough to make me abort the subscription process and now after writing this, delete the app. I do not know if the developers added this simple feature to the more expensive and advanced version of this app? but I sure wasn’t going risk spending all that money just to find out.

Subscription Ransomware.locks your files if you do not payup

The app is ok, but you can, as I did, load Fb. Then put some files into the file folder’ and. did not look again until a year later, when cleaning up old files’ that FB’ without previous warning, locks your files. no option to even delete them. It is ransomware, and it is odd that Apple has it in the App store.

Not Free

Nowhere in the description does the app say that there is a mandatory subscription. Disgusting business practice.
