### 1/5 — I wish I could get my $2.99 back

*2024-09-14, version 11.2*

I have seen apps badly designed or not working at all, but I have never seen anything like this thing, actually approved by Apple. An utter disaster on every level.

### 1/5 — Insta-crashes on opening

*2023-04-15, version 11.2*

As soon as you try to open any files on network storage using SMB or AFS the app crashed so useless for most people.

### 1/5 — SMBを選択すると100%落ちます

*2022-05-03*

アプリ内のどの設定をいじっても、エラーメッセージを出すことなく、落ちてしまいます。
他のレビューを読んでから、購入すれば良かったと後悔しています。
まずSMB関係の改善を、お願いします。
有料アプリなのですか責任を持って、まめにアップデートすべきです。

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-12-08, version 11.2*

Locks up constantly, making my ipad unresponsive. Have to force close the app just to unfreeze my ipad.

### 1/5 — Lässt sich unter iOS 14.3 beta nicht starten

*2020-11-18*

Schade. Mit 14.3 beta geht’s nicht mehr.
Mal abwarten, ob sich das noch ändert.

### 1/5 — Needs Update

*2020-11-15, version 11.2*

This player hasn’t been updated in years. It no longer even opens, crashes. Useless.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-11-09, version 11.2*

Disappointing

### 1/5 — 音声切り替えが出来ない

*2020-09-29*

ISOファイルが見えるのは良かったが
