### 4/5 — Great Idea!

*2026-04-25, version 3.8.4*

Having an All in one tool is the best bet for production!

### 4/5 — Can’t sharing music file for free

*2020-04-17, version 3.5.9*

Doesn’t allow music sharing without buying pro which is costly and I don’t want to buy

### 3/5 — Looking for Video Downloader add on

*2019-02-01, version 3.1.6*

I just purchased video download add on around 2 months ago and after this latest version it’s disappeared . I’m asking the developer why is that or how do I find it out please answer thanks.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2018-12-29, version 3.1.2*

Can’t search or recognize FLAC files in folders. I was hoping for a explorer type of app. Wasted $10.00

### 2/5 — Can’t buy full version

*2018-12-15, version 3.1.2*

I like this app it won’t let me buy the full version!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Not bad...

*2018-12-08, version 3.1.2*

Fairly functional.

Would be better if it would open on the files section of the app rather than the sharing, since this is where you interact more.

Cannot playback an album in track order, only in name or file size order, which is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not a file “explorer” and too many ads

*2018-12-01, version 3.1.2*

I am just looking for an app to explore and manage the files on my iPhone. If there is a way, it’s buried by the constant, and unrelenting barrage of ads! &@$?!$@ 🤬
Full screen ads take over the app every few file clicks, with no graceful way to terminate them. 
Needless to say, the ads are spawned by the Google cancer, so any hope of maintaining any personal privacy is history!

### 4/5 — Pro isn’t worth buying

*2018-10-22, version 2.4.9*

I loaded the free version.  Music played. A little hard to manipulate.  So, I upgraded tp the Pro Version.  All the files previously loaded were gone.  Downloaded my files again.  This time the music files would not play.  Waste of money.  It seems Apple wants to monopolize the music industry.

Developers responded.  This app cannot play the file format of music that is not in the iTunes format (ie. music from an old CD)

### 5/5 — Love this App - Pro version worth it.

*2018-10-08, version 2.4.9*

It has been difficult to figure out how it works.  The help videos should be on YouTube.
(I didn’t see them there if they are)

It’s hard seeing the videos that are in the app because the words are so small on my phone. Need to be able to see them on my computer in YouTube.

It took me a very looong time to get it to work

EUREKA but after I did.......,
This is GREAT. I downloaded a very large file (GBs) and was able to transfer it to my laptop. Didn’t need to use up expensive HotSpot

Thanks. A very useful app

### 1/5 — Sorry app

*2018-08-31, version 2.4.6*

Sorry app does not work

### 1/5 — 连不上

*2026-04-17, version 3.8.3*

软件都没有申请本地网络权限，你们是怎么连上去的？

### 1/5 — Reinvention

*2024-04-19, version 3.8.2*

Why, why, why, why the f… why do developers feel the necessity to  reinvent everything 
, to no great purpose. There’s been well established methods for copying files between environments for smeggin decades. Why is there some belief the way to do things you have start by creating yet another directory on the iPad. There’s already a file system on it, use the f…… thing. As an SMB client what’s wrong with being able to just navigate to the directory on the local machine and in pane next to it the host receiving.

### 1/5 — No trial period…

*2024-02-01, version 3.8.0*

Want to use it for transferring my music from iPhone to iPhone, however, this is only available in the paid for Pro version for which there is no trial period.

### 1/5 — A family member issue

*2020-04-09, version 3.5.9*

I purchase this app so my brother can share his music, I was able to import from Music app and he wasn’t it ask him to go premium by paying $9.99. So what’s the use of six family member sharing option.
I sent an email to support last week with no response till this moment.

### 1/5 — have to go pro to share??😂

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2019-06-06, version 3.3.2*

coompletely useless. Download another one for free. I purchased the app as i thought it can transfer the music between my 2 ipads. It didnt. I hated it worst money have ever spent

### 1/5 — Same thing happened to me too

*2019-02-10, version 3.1.6*

I was so happy that I have found this app to download from the YouTube be, not too long than two months, they remove the downloading option.

### 1/5 — RAR files

*2019-02-01, version 3.1.6*

This app appears to be unable to open any kind of RAR file that contains video content. Is there any way of fixing this problem?

### 5/5 — What I’ve been looking for.

*2025-07-15, version 3.8.2*

Simple and standalone.  Being able to connect and transfer via SMB is a huge convenience.  Other method is nice to have for different situation.  Now a phone with big storage can be useful.

Also the only one that I’ve used that worked. I do however hope the app continue to get updated and supported.  This is much better than 99% similar apps out there.

### 5/5 — Excellent sharing app

*2025-05-17, version 3.8.2*

Congratulations to the developer of FSharing app. Job well done. A very user friendly app with all the features you might possibly need. And very important  is the friendly and professional service and support you get in case of need. 
This FSharing is highly recommended
