### 1/5 — If they had half a star

*2020-03-31, version 2.3*

If they allowed me to give this app half a star,it would be for the icon art alone this app was written for iOS 6 it does not allow you to change anything that has to do with the original os,it says iFile but that’s plagiaristic at best cause it does not even resemble the cydia app that it’s trying to emulate .
In fact  it looks like an exact copie of another imposter on this page except with a black background in which case your not a developer your a colorist or decorator.of some ones else’s phony copy of an app that still does not work.if apple would kick you off there store instead of trying to analyze and break into my machine for my best interest then that would be a better use of their so called security for the customer.
But no they want to know what pornstar I like or other places I visit rather than keep you jerks from ripping off their customers.
Boo for you and boo for crapple for letting you sport your crappy app.i want my money back dicks

### 1/5 — IFile

*2019-07-16, version 2.3*

I purchased this app to access external drive and nothing works to access the drive. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-04-28, version 2.3*

This app just doesn’t work and I want a refund.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2019-01-03, version 2.3*

It’s hard to locate what you’re looking for if you have many files stored.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2018-09-20*

App is trash at the moment, can’t link files to be copied anywhere, dropbox, icloud, even email doesn’t matter. Won’t transfer to the first two and file link doesn’t show up in email (no attachments). Not worth the purchase until this developer bucks up and fixes these issues.

### 1/5 — It's really a waste of money

*2018-06-02, version 2.3*

واقعا یک برنامه آشغال و بدرد نخور هست اصلا ارزش یک سنت هم نداره 
It's really a waste of money, it's not worth a dollar at all

### 1/5 — This does not work

*2018-05-17*

I have an up to date iPad Pro, 10.5 - iOS 11.3.1.   I was able to import a small Numbers file to test.  When selecting “Open In”, nothing happens.  So, I can add files, but not do anything with them other than emailing?   Also, support seems non-existent, since tapping on the “mail” icon also does nothing.   They do not list a web page that I can see. I will request a refund. I just bought the app a week ago. (May, 2018)

### 1/5 — Ne Fonctionne pas
