### 2/5 — Neue Version mit Qualitätsverlust

*2025-12-27*

Warum kann man in dieser neuen Version keine Dateien mehr aus dem Fotoalbum hochladen? 

Warum kann man nicht mehr in Fotoalbum abspeichern? 

Das ist ein erheblicher Qualitätsverlust für diese App, die ich schon seit Jahren nutze

### 1/5 — Had to downgrade rating again because NO response to multiple messages to support over 6 months

*2025-06-09, version 1.18.0*

New update claims to have fixed bugs but actually introduced a bunch of new bugs. Now it randomly pauses for no reason for several seconds while trying to navigate. It also makes my phone extremely hot and kills my battery life, I can’t help wonder if it’s running some kind of malware, I’m afraid to use it now.
—
The developers seem to be completely unresponsive/uncaring.  No responses to several emails about pretty large security issues and functionality problems for over a year.  Has some decently nice features if the developers were actually responsive and were fixing things but they don’t seem to be.

There's a bug that it doesn't show files that have more than one dot (period) in the name at all. I've lost files because I deleted a directory that looked empty when it wasn't really, it just looked like it because ifiles is buggy and didn't show me the contents!

I just discovered today that iFiles is wasting over 2.5GB on my phone, but I have almost nothing stored locally, it’s all on cloud providers.  There doesn’t seem to be any “clear cache” or other setting, and my transfers list is empty.  Seems the only way to fix this is to delete the app and reinstall from scratch, but then it will lose all my accounts and settings which will be a major pain to setup again.

Here’s the previously reported problems that are still issues:

Bad security problem since are forced to allow too simplistic "Allow Untrusted Certificate" rather than letting you see the details of  a site using a self-signed certificate and being able to verify it is the correct fingerprint/key and enabling it to be saved for that specific site.  Very insecure, and very bad design!
No ability to search for files by name or for text within documents.
No support for copy.com
Needs an easy way to retry ALL failed transfers instead of having to manually do one at a time.
Transfers don't seem to continue while sleeping/background.
The wifi server support is poorly done, should be easy to toggle on and off rather than hidden and defaulting always to the same thing when you open the app.
App doesn't remember where you were if you leave and return, which makes you have to go traverse the whole directory structure EVERY time, this needs fixing ASAP!

No ability to sync files/photos to servers.  This is a MAJOR feature deficiency, as it is very hard not to miss photos or changes since you have to do it manually (and then verify they all actually transferred successfully).
Also, since photos/videos are saved on the server with the timestamp you uploaded them instead of when they were taken, that makes trying to "sync" all your photos even harder.

### 5/5 — Best ever file explorer!!!

*2024-01-08*

Very light, however still the best file explorer for basic files management including text editor and others. I really wishing this app supports forever.

### 3/5 — 给个差评，不支持隔空投送

*2022-11-19*

给个差评，不支持隔空投送

### 1/5 — Please fix PDF VIEWER

*2022-08-24, version 1.18.0*

When enable text selection, long tap to select text on PDF causing white blank page. Please fix ASAP as I have many PDFs in ifiles. Very annoying

### 1/5 — Was so good but now

*2022-07-04, version 1.18.0*

Sorry to say it’s crashing all the time it was my go to file app but I have now had to remove crashed the iPad

### 4/5 — Request update

*2022-03-17, version 1.18.0*

Dear Sir; I am writing to inform you that I recently bought a new iPhone 13 Promax and when I take shoot with my iPhone I couldn’t opened it in I ifiles app recently! The image format is:IMG_HEIC
Would you be kind and guide me about this matter?
Thanks for your cooperation!Amir

### 1/5 — All my file is disappeared

*2021-07-13, version 1.18.0*

When i try transfer my family files to the Another file inside the iFiles app ,my family file is disappeared.
And technical team didn’t any response to me .

### 5/5 — I support them. Don’t be a cheap baby people.

*2021-06-11, version 1.18.0*

People are crying and are angry because they can’t access their previous paid version. Guess what, that’s what happens with change. You are otherwise asking them to work for free to service you forever. Because you paid them $3.99… Would you expect the new ipad or iphone for free because you bought an older version? No.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-05-14, version 1.18.0*

Been using it for years, still useful and needed.
