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 😒 ### 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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Current version still broken on iPhone and iPad *2020-05-16* Been using this for years, but the latest update has broken it on both platforms. Crashes as soon as you try typing anything into a file you're editing via FTP on iPad Pro and iPhone 7S/iOS 13.4.1 Hopefully they'll get these fixed soon. No contact info in the app for reporting these bugs that I could find ### 1/5 — 付费68元无法正常使用上传和下载功能，老是报错 *2020-02-25* 付费68元无法正常使用上传和下载功能，老是报错，建议下架。盛申请退款中 ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with Dropbox *2019-10-17* Was quite good in the past... ### 3/5 — 进不去 *2019-08-08* 550 The system cannot find the path specified. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus du tout avec iOS 12.3.1 *2019-06-12* ... même après un redémarrage. Plante systématiquement lorsque je souhaite modifier un fichier PHP. A mettre à jour, ou à oublier. ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar *2019-06-07* Verbindung zur Dropbox und cloud geht nicht. Das Programm macht gar nix :/ ABZOCKE ### 4/5 — Works great. “Copy PDF to Books” option? *2019-04-19* The app works great. The only problem I have is that when I want to “Share ...” a saved PDF file, I get the “Open in Books” option but not the “Copy to Books”. So the book is not added to my Books collection and every time I want to resume reading, I must go back to FTPOnTheGo and open the PDF from there. Can you please fix this? ### 3/5 — Good but has a problem *2019-04-12* I really like the power of FTP On the Go. But for some of my longer files, it no longer works. If I try to hit return to add a new line in my HTML, or try to paste in more than one line, the app crashes. These are files I maintain with FTP On the Go on my iPad, and on UltraEdit on my PC at home. Cutting and pasting also have a problem, adding a leading space that I have to delete. Another app also adds the leading space; not sure what is going on. But that app at least does not crash. ### 2/5 — 要課金 *2019-01-18* 無料では、保存も新しくファイルを作ることもできません。 便利そうなので要課金も納得です。仕方ない。 ### 1/5 — Kostenfreie Version unbrauchbar *2019-01-17* In der kostenfreien Version ist die App unbrauchbar. Man kann keine Dateien öffnen und die heruntergeladenen Dateien kann man in der freien Version nicht einmal löschen! Warum macht man die App dann nicht direkt nur als Pro Version anstatt erst die Leute die App installieren lassen, um sie direkt wieder zu löschen 🙈 ### 1/5 — A needed Update!!! *2018-12-28, version 4.4.2* When you try to edit it locks up close is the whole program! ### 3/5 — Impossible to upload images from my iPad *2018-12-20* Can upload images from my iPad to my ftp site only once in a while. It seems that OS 12 has problems with this software. I am waiting for a fix from ftp on the go. Is there a workaround? ### 2/5 — Crashes *2018-12-14* Trying to save from the server results in a crash. Looks like THIS pro version is no longer supported and will force you to make ANOTHER purchase to the latest PRO version. Pretty disappointed. This isn’t the first instance of this since I’ve used the app. Not a fair practice. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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? ### 1/5 — Editieren funktioniert nur in der Pro Version *2020-11-01* Die kostenlose Version bietet eine FTP Verbindung. Um die HTML Seiten dann bearbeiten zu können, wir die Pro Version benötig. Weil ein falscher Eindruck erweckt wird, nur ein Stern (weil mir Zeit geraubt) wer die Pro Version kauft, wird aber wohl zufrieden sein... ### 1/5 — Kostenfalle *2020-10-14* ohne Aktivierung (10€) geht es nicht. Gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Stürzt sofort ab *2020-10-10* Diese App funktioniert überhaupt nicht! Sie stürzt sofort nach dem Start – egal welches iOS und Gerät man verwendet – ab. Fast hat man das Gefühl, hier sollen nur FTP – Zugangsdaten abgegriffen werden. Die Installation ist reine Zeitverschwendung. ### 1/5 — Tricks into paying in the most misleading way *2020-07-12* For an app that calls itself FTP client, it one does not allow for saving any documents. Apparently you have to “activate” the feature which actually means buy the pro version as what you confirm to “active” takes you straight to buy the other app with dialogue box asking to confirm to pay $$$. If not careful you will end up paying when you think you are activating a setting... awful ### 1/5 — shareware couldent test it *2020-04-29, version 4.4.2* just a trick to buy junk ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ! ### 5/5 — Top Tool *2019-09-28* Ich habe viele verschiedene ftp-Tools ausprobiert. FTP on the go hat mir am besten gefallen. Hervorragende Funktionalität, sehr schnell und vor allem der fliegende Wechsel zwischen Editor und Webansicht sind super. Allerdings braucht man zum Editieren und späteren wieder Hochladen dann die pro Version. Die ist aber ihr Geld wert. ### 5/5 — FTP On The Go - Upgrade *2019-01-01* I have been using this app for many, many years, works awesome, thanks! ### 5/5 — Most Valuable and Useful *2018-09-22* I’ve been using it for years. It’s always been one of the most useful apps in my toolkit. Even my wife is impressed with it and she doesn’t use it. Let me explain. I maintain her website. She a psychotherapist and I had added a new therapist to her site. She noticed a couple of typos in the new therapist’s biography. So while we waited for our lunch at a restaurant I pulled down the page in question, fixed the typos using the built-in text editor and moved it back to her site. I said, “All fixed.” She was amazed I could do that from our table while we waited. Thanks FTPOnTheGo Pro! It’s things like that that keep me using it. I had also noticed that the explicit FTPS option had stopped working at some when connecting to my FTP server, even after upgrading the FTP server. I switched over to SFTP in the interim. After getting my new iPhone the other day and upgrading to to the latest version of FTPOnTheGo Pro the explicit FTPS was working again. Thanks! Keep up the good work. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Intuitif *2018-09-06* Très rapide et facile d’utilisation. ### 5/5 — Einfach gute App seit Jahren *2018-06-07* Einfach, übersichtlich, schnell, alle Funktionen, die ich brauche, um unsere Gemeindehomepage von überall aus zu pflegen. Darum habe ich schon sehr früh auf die PRO Version aufgerüstet - klingt erst teuer, aber allemal das eigentlich kleine Geld wert! Danke für die Weiterentwicklung. ### 5/5 — Ideal für unterwegs *2018-03-25* Übersichtliche, Flotte und intuitiv leicht bedienbare FTP-App ### 5/5 — Would recommend *2018-03-23* Tried a few similar apps but this one did what it said on the can. Works with pad and Wi-fi keyboard and correctly removes on screen k/b and extends edit area as well, where other failed to do this. Easy to use well pleased. ### 5/5 — Parfait pour mon usage *2018-03-20* La version de base me permettait déjà depuis de nombreuses années (depuis mon iPhone 3G)d’accéder aux outils de base pour télécharger et téléverser à distance sur mon disque NAS. Je viens de débloquer seulement aujourd’hui l’in-app pour profiter des fonctionnalités d’IOS (Dropbox, ouvrir avec ...). Parfait ! ### 5/5 — Efficace *2018-03-20* Application très efficace ! Je suis entièrement satisfait ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
