Used to be awesome
Back when iOS didn’t have any native file handling features or the ability to download content directly from a browser this app was a godsend. Nowadays those features are built in, which makes this app less useful on modern iOS. Plus it hasn’t been updated in 7 years, so there are now bugs too.
For everyone experiencing the “Filer crashes the moment I open it” bug, that is due to incompatible data in your clipboard. Filer will try to paste whatever is in your phone’s clipboard the moment you open the app. Some links (such as YouTube links) cause it to crash as a result. Copy something like a series of numbers from Notes to replace whatever is in your clipboard and the app will open again.

Works great
I’m happy with this. It makes downloading multiple files from a website like archive.org very easy. There are still some quirks, like crashing upon opening, but that’s easily worked around by copying something to a clipboard first. Haven’t had it crash, ever, once I had something copied to the clipboard.
This does exactly what I need, and is the perfect app for browsing/copying/sharing files. The mini web server it includes makes for sharing files with PCs and Android devices a breeze.

After years of use it stopped working
Now I can’t access my saved files.
Ok when it works
Better than nothing.
When it did work, audio would stop if you opened a different app.
Now it crashes each time I open it- even after reinstalling.
