### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-03-12, version 1.6*

Can’t contact developer website link goes to a gambling site ??

### 1/5 — Does not connect to google drive or one drive

*2022-06-04*

Does not connect to google drive or one drive

### 1/5 — No point for this app

*2021-12-25, version 1.6*

The app is a shell that uses Apple file app which makes it useless. It doesn’t add any additional functionality and what’s worse is it doesn’t reconfines plugged in SD card but Apple files does. Even at 6.99$ it’s a waste of money.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2020-06-29*

Nice

### 1/5 — Great app

*2020-03-17*

Needs to be updated for iOS 13 please the update I've got some bugs with the saving to gallery but this is still a great app

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2017-10-02*

This app will not let access any files already on your iPad. i.e. You can't even access the files on this vendor's previous file app.

If you want a solitary island of info only accessible by this app and this app only,go for it.

### 5/5 — This App Got it Right!

*2016-11-10*

Simplistic but not minimalistic!  No fancy graphics with folders and files my way.  Open to the App, save, sort, view, rename, send, play multimedia, view PDFs......

My files! My way! Not that highway in the CLOUD!?

Very well done.  THANK YOU,

### 4/5 — Needs more

*2016-11-02, version 1.5*

Needs more photo editing tools and ability to delete from camera roll easily plus PDF tools would help. Boost to five stars. Interface need modernization non intuitive.

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2016-10-12*

It allows me to have access to files on my home server without a lot of issues.

### 4/5 — Unpretentious

*2016-09-23*

Treats me right. Does exactly what I needed to do. Connects to multiple cloud services. Uploads and downloads easily.
