### 2/5 — Cannot paste text into document.

*2024-08-09, version 4.4.2*

this works fine if you want to edit just a little text with the app itself and re-upload it, but the app crashes if you’re pasting in new text created in a different text editor. :-/

### 4/5 — Good general purpose FTP & editor

*2017-01-28, version 4.3.6*

Works just as expected with some additional features such as pdf viewing, dropbox access etc.

Minor drawbacks encountered were slow scrolling when editing a large file on an ancient ipad (but there is a goto line number feature) and incorrect code coloring for fortran 2008 files (but can be switched off). 

Otherwise very good with a pleasant screen layout and easy accessibility of features.

### 4/5 — Upload not working and Support isn't either...

*2016-04-20, version 4.3.6*

UPDATE:  Although Support is still a 'non-responder' I did finally get Upload to Server working by going through ALL of the Settings combinations where I finally hit on the need to turn-on/enable all of the File Transfer options under More Settings.  I don't think this should be 'required' but nonetheless the App is working now.  I've changed my rating to 4Stars and I'll give this App 5Stars when Support begins to communicate.

### 2/5 — Text Editor does not work

*2015-10-13, version 4.3.5*

Text Editor does not work. The file only displays 1 line of text. I purchased the "pro" , non-legacy version, so now I have purchased this app twice and the text editor still doesn't work which makes the app useless. Does not work as advertised. Please fix!

### 1/5 — 改行コードが反映されない。

*2015-10-06*

Macで書いたhtmlを表示しようとすると、改行コードの判定が出来ないのか、改行されずずっと横長に表示されてしまう。
iOSのアプリなのだから、Macの改行コードを解して欲しかった。

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2015-08-06, version 4.3.4*

On launch the app will randomly hang/crash, but also now landscape doesn't work :-/

This is the best FTP app out there in my opinion, when it works.

### 1/5 — terrible. Very much worse.

*2015-08-05, version 4.3.4*

Now no landscape mode.Every update this (paid!) app gets worse.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2015-08-03, version 4.3.3*

It used to be a great app that I used all the time.  But it now keeps on cashing  iPad, iPhone another iPhone.

### 1/5 — 软件闪退在5s上 请检查app

*2015-08-02*

### 3/5 — The current version keeps crashing on launch

*2015-08-02, version 4.3.3*

I use this App a lot and it's been working great until the latest upgrade, which keeps crashing on launch. Look forward to a fix!

### 1/5 — Es War einmal ....

*2015-08-01*

... eine sehr gute App. Seit letzten Update nur noch Schrott. App kann nicht mehr gestartet werden, stürzt nur noch ab.  ;( wie kann sowas nur durch die Qualitätskontrolle........ Wenn nicht bald eine Korrektur kommt, verschwindet diese wieder von meinem iPhone 6 Plus mit aktuellstem iOS.

### 1/5 — crashed nun immer

*2015-07-31*

nach dem aktuellem Update startet es nicht mehr.

### 1/5 — do not buy!!!!

*2015-06-24, version 4.3.2*

Worst FTP app ever. It doesn't work on an iPad - can't connect using instructions provided - Doesn't allow dropbox to connect as stated - and although I purchased the Pro edition, support does not exist. I have written to the Apps support a few times now and not one response! Regret buying it. They should refund me as it just cannot be used.

### 4/5 — I need upload！And select the upload directory！

*2015-06-08, version 4.3.2*

waitting for the upgrade.

### 1/5 — Stop working

*2022-03-27, version 4.4.2*

I have used the app for years. Recently after an pushed update, I am unable to connect to My SFTP site Making this app worthless Come on man… What a bunch of crap

Zero support…

How can Apple still allow
This to be downloaded and/or purchased ?

### 1/5 — Crashes at startup iOS 10

*2016-10-24, version 4.3.6*

New user on iOS 10 so no existing data. Crashes when  app starts. App apparently no longer updated since last update now almost a year ago.

### 1/5 — Fichiers non modifiables

*2016-05-12*

J'ai déjà des fichiers php que j'aimerais modifié... Impossible, j'ai la balise php au début puis c'est vide. Inutile cette application si on ne peut pas modifier ses propres script

### 1/5 — Seriously....what got messed up?

*2015-10-31, version 4.3.5*

If I could give a 0 star rating right now I would.  I have loved your app for a long time.  Recently, HOWEVER, it has started not allowing the editing of files.  It is just annoying.  Well, and there is the whole I paid for an app that doesn't work aspect that is irritating.  I even made the HUGE mistake of paying for this version (not just the upgrade I previously wasted money on).  I thought it might be a technical issue that I was willing to sacrifice $10 for.  However, throwing money at the problem did not fix it.  I am super upset with this app....and I have LOVED it previously.  Your website doesn't address any of this kind of stuff.  Oh, and the version # listed for this product is not what is actually listed in the app when I download it.  Very uncool experience lately.

### 1/5 — Please Work!

*2015-10-12, version 4.3.5*

I can log into my ftp but when i go to edit files, no content appears, rendering the entire app pointless. Previous versions have included similar bugs which intermittently alternate between functioning properly and not.

### 5/5 — 能够支持下FTP连接时自定义端口

*2018-09-06*

为了服务器安全，我们的ftp端口不是21.
希望能够自定义连接时的端口号

### 5/5 — As good as it can be

*2018-03-28, version 4.4.1*

FTP clients are hard to find on mobile and this one is good the rest are crap

### 5/5 — アップデート後使用不能に

*2018-01-28*

左側のメニューを閉じる、エディタ内でエンター入力でそれぞれクラッシュするためここしばらく使用不能です。
このアプリ自体のヘビーユーザーなのでお早めに改善頂けると助かります。

### 5/5 — Works like charm

*2016-07-05*

It allows for example download the zipped file, unzip it an transfer the resulting pdf to iBooks app, all inside the FTP On The Go PRO

### 5/5 — Genau so ...

*2016-02-07*

... habe ich mir das vorgestellt.

### 5/5 — Fabulous Product

*2015-08-04, version 4.3.4*

The best FTP product on the market for tweaking files on an iPad while on the road.  I've been able to respond to support calls and make changes while sitting in an airport waiting for a flight. And I love the drop box integration... Files don't even need to be on the iPad.

### 5/5 — Good but please add additional feature

*2015-04-27, version 4.3.2*

Would love a few extra features or changes!

Cannot delete folder if it's not empty. Annoying if I want to remove a whole directory that's not needed with loads of sub folders.. 

Can you provide a webview of the html code that's being edited so we know what changes have taken place in a viewable format. This would be awesome!

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-10-04, version 4.2.1*

Works well. Makes it easy to manage files.

### 5/5 — Программа достойная..

*2014-06-02*

Но цена, я и балл..
Add russian language, please, and make ftp-video-stream feature, realized in AVplayer.

### 5/5 — Good but expressive IMHO

*2014-05-14*

Good but expressive IMHO
