I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-04-29, version 2.1* I couldn't do anything with the app! I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Apples prob *2015-12-13, version 2.1* If you don't give us back our money and me I'm gonna contact apple and tell them this ### 1/5 — Fake app *2015-10-24, version 2.1* This here's yet again another fake app trying to act like the real Ifile app does absolutely nothing. Complete scam and will be contacting Apple if I don't receive a refund promptly. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever do not buy *2015-10-05* Does not work ### 1/5 — absolute CRAP *2015-09-06* It said I would get the clash of gem private server for clash of clans and of course I didn't! It said I had to hit "back" which there was no option to, and then find the "hosts" file, which didn't exist, and this is proof that this is a scam. Seems like every clash of clans private server these days is a scam. I got this on my birthday because I wanted the private server and now I want a refund. ### 1/5 — S*** *2015-08-24, version 2.1* I wanted mope mods and didn't get the mope mods! ### 1/5 — I want a refund. *2015-07-06, version 2.1* Doesn't work do NOT get ### 1/5 — 😡 *2015-07-03, version 2.1* I bought this thinking it would allow me to install mcpe mods and maps because it said you could do that so I went to try it out and ALL IT DID WAS MAKE FOLDERS AND ALLOW YOUR PHOTOS TO BE PUT IN THE LIKE THE CAMERA APP THAT COMES WITH YOUR DEVICE FOR FREE!

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. ### 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 *2017-11-24* No access to iCloud No access to Dropbox Need an Update ### 1/5 — Really angry!! Paid £1.99. This is not ifile.
