### 5/5 — Excellent iPad app

*2018-09-13*

I just recently started using the File app, and it is the best file manager I have used on my iPad. Works great for managing compressed archives. I previously tried a number of other file management iOS apps without luck for compressed files with linked URL content across the compressed file content. This worked in seconds! Cheers!

### 1/5 — Sorry

*2018-01-19, version 1.4*

App didn't do anything nor did it show any existing files on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Misleading pictures and description!

*2017-02-24, version 1.4*

This is not a file manager.

It appears to have the ability to create a variety of files such as text files, drawings, etc.  It appears to have the ability to fetch files from your computer via USB, access files on a variety of online cloud services.  It seems to organize files in folders. It allows for a folder to be shared.  Appears also to allow for Wi-Fi sharing over the network.

I uninstalled it as it was not the type of app that I was looking for.  I did not determine how well it's features may work. 

It may be useful for some people.
