### 2/5 — Error message said “not abailable”. Really?

*2023-06-18*

SMB doesn’t work. The spelling errors don’t give me any confidence.

### 4/5 — Excellent but..

*2023-05-15*

Please fix the icons database bug when you try to assign icons to folders.

### 2/5 — Google Drive authentication no longer works!

*2023-03-27*

Google Drive authentication no longer works, shame!

### 2/5 — Waste of money

*2023-03-23*

I bought it as an upgrade to iFiles which worked great on the older iPhones. This version does not integrate with the native Files app on the iPhone12 and one cannot easily transfer files created in iFiles to iFiles2 except by laboriously uploading to the cloud in the former and downloading them into the latter. Without Wi-Fi access this is very slow.

### 1/5 — Bug !

*2022-09-20*

L’application ne s’ouvre plus sur iOS16 avec un iPhone 11.

### 1/5 — Please fix!

*2022-08-24, version 2.3.0*

not accessable via Files. Can’t import or copy /move or share files between apps.

### 1/5 — Не запускается , вылетает

*2022-08-08*

Как запустить её?

### 1/5 — Error cloud adding

*2022-02-19*

Fix this feature, PLEASE!! 👾

### 1/5 — Keep Crashing

*2022-02-05, version 2.3.0*

After applying the passcode I’m not able to see my files, The app crashing every times.

### 1/5 — no way to update remote folder

*2022-02-01*

when viewing a folder on a remote host, there is no easy way to update the view when the remote folder changes.  If a remote file is created or updated, I have to close the app and restart. The old ifiles app had an "update" button, but it has disappeared in this new app.

### 3/5 — WebDAV geht … nach Startschwierigkeiten, OwnCloud auch nicht

*2022-01-26*

Der einzige Grund warum ich die App gekauft habe war, dass man damit WebDAV Verzeichnisse in „Dateien“ einbinden kann. Grundsätzlich geht das schon … Allerdings ging es am Anfang nur bedingt. In der App ja, aber nach Schließen und Öffnen war es wieder weg. Nach einem Tag geht es jetzt plötzlich, deswegen habe ich die Bewertung auch von 1 auf 3 angehoben. Meinen OwnCloud-Server kann ich mal gar nicht verbinden, dort bekomme ich den Fehler, dass keine Verbindung aufgebaut werden kann. Keine Ahnung wo hier der Haken hängt, bin aber genervt, weil man nicht mal eben ohne Weiteres eine Rückerstattung (ja, über ein Ticket bei Apple) beauftragen kann. Ich bin relativ neu in dem Ökosystem, und wenn ich das vorher geprüft hätte, hätte ich das Geld wohl auch nicht ausgegeben.

### 2/5 — On-time Updates

*2021-12-20*

This used to be a great app. It was my #1 “go to” for saving and organizing my files and connections of any type. But it seems that the developer has lost interest in keeping the software updated in a timely manner. There have been no new features added either for a very long time.  Sad to say it was good while it lasted, but I have to put my files and connections into a software that the developer is actively either developing or perfecting. I’m not wanting to use an app that I feel could quit working any day Apple decides to put out an update. I still keep this program in the last page of a group folder for the day maybe the developer will take a real interest in the program instead of drawing a paycheck.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2021-10-18*

Haven’t used it in a while but installed on my new iPad. Won’t unzip files. Just get a “failed” message. Open In from other apps not working. Difficult to impossible to move files into the app.  Wha’ happen?

### 1/5 — Thickness icon does work

*2021-10-08*

Can't increase the thickness ...it's frozen.... Developer has stopped providing updates....on new OS ...some functions do not work on Apple pencil

### 1/5 — Bug trop souvent

*2021-10-06*

Non recommandé

### 1/5 — Allot of problems

*2021-07-21*

We need update for the app Face ID didn’t work , allot of services didn’t work !!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t come without issues

*2021-06-23, version 2.3.0*

Have been using iFiles ever since the iPhone 4 and I had nothing to say but good things. It just worked. This “update” however, is more of a downgrade.

Navigating around the app is just so confusing. Finding things isn’t as easy as it once was. For example, to reach settings you’d have to go back to the homescreen of the app which can get frustrating quickly when you’re deep into folders.

What surprised me the most is the lack of GIF support. The GIF files appear as static images. I thought I had to tweak some sort of setting but that wasn’t the case at all. It’s just not supported.

Another thing that they could’ve added is a manual slideshow timer instead of the allowed choices 2/2/5/10/20 (yes, 2 is displayed as an option twice).

An update seems unlikely since the last update was 7 months ago.

Overall, I’m disappointed in what this app has become. Don’t get me wrong, it functions very closely to the original iFiles app but it lacks the finishing touches to what should have been an honest updated version of iFiles. I sincerely hope that there are plans to polish this app.

### 1/5 — Renommage inutilisable

*2021-06-21*

Le renommage en masse est inutilisable car on ne peut pas définir de pattern pour matcher des noms différents comme * ou ?
De plus l’app est mal traduite et en allemand par défaut au lieu de l’anglais qui est quand même un peu plus largement compréhensible. 
Bref, 8€ a la poubelle 😞

### 1/5 — Stopped Working

*2026-03-08*

Doesn’t open anymore - access to files has been lost.

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2025-08-02*

This used to be my goto app for file saving and making playlists. I could browse, download and organize in one app. But at some point it stopped working. It crashes when I try to use it. I haven’t found a satisfactory replacement yet.

### 1/5 — Crush on iphone12 after set fingerprint?

*2024-09-18*

Was using this app with older iPhones and everything was good, now I downloaded it for iPhone 12 latest ios. The app was working fine until i set a password now it auto crashes every time, there is no way to get to the menu where you can enter the password it crashes right away, I'm pretty sure you can reinstall it but now I have data in the app that I don't wanna lose. Fix this issue to fix this rating.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2024-08-12, version 2.3.0*

### 1/5 — Keep Crashing

*2023-10-30*

After applying the passcode I’m not able to see my files, The app crashing every times. I lost a lot of my video.

Disappointment support also.

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2023-06-01*

里面的文件都拿不出来了

### 1/5 — Abandoned. No updates in 2+ years. Do not purchase!

*2022-11-24*

This used to be my go-to app to manage my various cloud storage accounts in one place. Today, I am uninstalling. It’s a shame that this is no longer being developed, as it used to be excellent.

### 1/5 — No support or user guide

*2022-11-12*

I bought this app at about five months ago, maybe more. There’s no instructions or user guide that comes with it and I have emailed them five months ago, asking about how to connect to an a AFP server with this, and no reply.

Their Twitter and Facebook feeds both have no activity for several years and the copyright shows to go only till 2016 for the software, so it appears they may have just left it up here to be download and purchased, without providing any further support. 

They are just getting some mailbox money now it looks like.

### 1/5 — No longer works

No access to iCloud

### 1/5 — Aba não fecha

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-14*

Very simple and easy to use and does everything I need. I’ve been using it for years since version 1  without any major issues.

### 5/5 — ’21년에도 잘됩니다.

*2021-09-26*

에어포트 타임캡슐을 nas로 사용하고 싶어서 인터넷 여기저기 알아봤는데 도전정신으로 구매하여 설정하고 LTE에서도 잘됩니다. nas 시스템 재구축하려다 어플값에 끝냅니다.

### 5/5 — Update

*2021-03-16*

I have been using iFiles for few years on a daily basis & so far i have not found a better replacement.  I had a problem which i explain below: 
iFiles brings up the last file it had on screen when it last closed. The last file i had was a corrupt pdf and the app would get stuck. I resolved this by going into another app opening a generic-working-file & then using "Share" or "Open in" to open this workinf file in iFiles. iFiles was back ...

### 5/5 — Omg

*2021-02-02*

Best iFiles EVER

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-01-25*

I've been using iFiles for years. Probably since it first came out. Can't remember when.

I also now have Files since Apple decided to try and play catch up. But I've had no reason to change.

It's great for connecting to all my cloud storage, moving between them and back onto my ios device.

Thoroughly recommended

### 5/5 — Хорошо, казалось бы, но...

*2020-11-18*

1. На мой взгляд самый удобный файл-менеджер.

2. Перестало запускаться... необходимо отремонтировать!

### 5/5 — Faille de security

*2019-09-29*

En passant par Files de Apple meme si iFiles 2 a un mot de passe, on peut acceder a tous les fichiers...

Gravissimooooooo

### 5/5 — The best

*2019-09-26, version 2.2.1*

For me the best file manager of the entire appstore. I just wish that in the future I had more languages ​​like Spanish (for example) and more possibilities of other clouds such as (mega, mediafire, etc ...)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-04-06, version 2.2.1*

Please add recycle bin 🙏

### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение, не раз выручало

*2019-01-14*

Ни один раз выручало. Из крутых фишек - встроенный HTTP сервер и возможность работы с архивами.
