### 2/5 — Not comparable

*2021-11-25, version 1.3.11*

I have had this app for a while and when I save a file in my iPad it doesn’t show the same think on my cell phone, I can't even get in touch to the designer to ask question.

### 1/5 — Great idea but ......

*2018-10-01, version 1.3.11*

Worked once. Never worked again. Tried support page. Couldn’t be found. Sorry mate. Needs a bit more testing.

### 1/5 — Defunct?

*2017-03-03, version 1.3.9*

The necessary to download PC component, per instructions, is no longer valid.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2016-06-05, version 1.3.8*

Worked for me

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2016-02-06, version 1.3.8*

Good reviews are fake it won't even connect so don't waste your time

### 1/5 — Time waste

*2016-02-03, version 1.3.8*

It doesn't work

### 4/5 — Great app!!!

*2015-09-14, version 1.3.8*

It let me open pics I thought were lost forever! Thank you!!!! However, it is not easy to use. I had to stumble around the app to figure out how to use it each time.

### 1/5 — No support, no reply

*2015-09-08, version 1.3.8*

Never ending problems, can't get PDF's to open, have requested assistance from the developer but no help at all, many emails have been disregarded.

### 1/5 — Forget it!

*2015-08-03, version 1.3.8*

I was able to connect directly to my PC, but it failed to connect to our server.  I should not have strayed from FileBrowser, but thought I'd see what else was out there (for a price!).

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2015-04-18, version 1.3.8*

AWFUL. Terrible design but great idea/concept except this app DOES NOT WORK.
