### 1/5 — IFilemonger

*2021-04-21*

The application is a free trial with a registration process. This registration process is unusable.

The application must be registered in this way to access local files. 

The registration asks for your email address but keeps on producing server errors.

The server does eventually send an email with a registration code, but it’s very long and cannot be cut and paste. There is a horrible interaction between the text entry box and the iPhone keyboard which insists it’s a password and not a registration code.

The long registration code is typed in, it’s treated as a password entry field, so error checking is not possible. Then it throws a server error and deletes the registration entry code. Then start all over again.

### 1/5 — It did not work

*2020-12-06*

I booted the app up it did not work. I restarted the app it still did not work. 0/10 would not consume again

### 1/5 — Impossible me to use

*2019-11-16*

Well, they got my email address but this app is pretty bad. It is almost impossible to log in once you’ve registered. A waste of time on an untested product.

### 1/5 — Email gathering is the only thing this file does....

*2018-10-25*

Keeps asking me to log in, won’t open anything I want it to. Just awful.

0/10 would *not * recommend.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2017-08-03*

App is broken. After creating an account giving them my email address and verifying it every time I go to look at a gerber zip file it says it can't connect and kicks me to the login screen where it says I am logged in

This app is crap, no testing, maybe they are a spam email collector

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2017-03-24*

Works great!

### 5/5 — Useful!

*2017-03-21*

Nice utility! Easy to use. Can save you some time 😉

### 1/5 — Waste of time...  suspicious

*2016-10-22*

App asks for my email login every time I tried to open a file...  doesn't let me get past the email entry page because the "login" button doesn't work.  Waste of time and space... I deleted it.

### 3/5 — It better be good

*2016-08-01*

If this isn't good then I'm gonna be mad......😡😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2016-06-17*

Great idea and design! 🏆👏🏻😄
