### 2/5 — Saved Files Doesn’t Work

*2025-12-07*

Still have an issue with my  “Saved files” features. When I share a file to the app... the file doesn’t load in “saved files”. Can no longer upload documents via FTP, which now makes this app pointless. Please fix ASAP.

### 2/5 — Seit 2018 offline!!!

*2025-08-30*

Website des Anbieters ist seit 2018 offline. Die App erhält seitdem keine Infotexte vom Unternehmens-Server. Updates gibt es auch nicht mehr. Habe 10 € für die PRO-Version bezahlt, erhalte aber weder Support, noch Updates. Die App funktioniert soweit, aber es wirkt, als wäre es reine Glückssache 😒

### 5/5 — Toujours fonctionnel

*2025-05-14*

Je ne sais pas si l’équipe de dev est toujours là, mais le fait est qu’en 2025 sur iPhone 13, ça fonctionne toujours !

### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab

*2024-03-20*

Unbrauchbar mit aktuellem ios

### 1/5 — Broken and should be taken off App Store

*2023-01-12, version 4.4.2*

This should be taken off of the App Store.  The “Player” function for files simply doesn’t work.  The rest is sketchy at best.  But, I see where the developer has ANOTHER “Pro” version, where you can spend $9.99… again.  Wonderful.  What a scam.

### 3/5 — Can’t purchase pro

*2022-11-11*

This is probably my favorite ftp app I’ve found, however in order to edit files I have to buy pro, which is fine. But when I try I’m told I have to be connected to the internet. My wifi is on. Please help. I’ll be happy to give five stars if I can get pro.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2022-10-11*

Купил но видимо зря, не работает!

### 1/5 — Linux SFTP Issue

*2022-05-30*

All bookmarks seem to open a connection to a previous single cached location, no way to clear this issue!

### 1/5 — Crashes When Trying to Edit

*2021-07-31, version 4.4.2*

This was a handy little app. However, I recently upgraded my iPad from iOS 7 to iOS 9. The app opens, but when I try to edit a file, the app closes. I noticed a "Pro Upgrade" (for iOS 7!), but it costs an additional $3.99. Time to start looking for a more reliable app. You got my money once, I'm no fool.

UPDATE 7/31/2021:  I've been limping along, able to perform simple edits.  Today, however,  using my iPad6 (iPadOS 14.7.1), I can open a file for editing, I can place the cursor where I want to edit, but when I try to type, the app closes. Upon restarting, the app, it tells me I was editing a file when it closed, and asks if I want to continue.  No matter what I do, it always closes when I try to edit. “Upgrade” is now $9.99, but why would anyone thing that it would work any better?

### 2/5 — Was ok but now

*2021-02-28, version 4.4.2*

Keeps crashing every time I try to do something 
Was good to start with but now not worth it at all
