### 1/5 — 古くて使えない

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.4*

アプリのメンテナンス（アップデート）をしていないようで、エラーが出て使えませんでした。

### 1/5 — Will not download from Dropbox

*2020-01-11, version 1.0.4*

Will not download from Dropbox

### 1/5 — Gives NSURLError

*2019-07-05, version 1.0.4*

Unable to log in, gives an error.

### 1/5 — Fehlermeldung beim Start

*2019-01-09, version 1.0.4*

Funktioniert nicht

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Even Start - gives NSURL error -999

*2018-05-08*

The app doesn’t even start. Instead it gives an error when you try to log in:

“This operation could not be completed
NSURLErrorDomain error -999”

Not worth even a single star

### 1/5 — this is a joke, right?

*2017-07-13, version 1.0.4*

This app is so plainly a phishing expedition -- enter your Dropbox or Google credentials here, we swear we'll treat them well!

Dropbox has an app-based authentication that doesn't rely on 3rd party management of credentials; you seem to know that Google does, too, since you try to make your password-entry screen look just like the authentic one.

If you were legit, you'd be using Dropbox's auth, not your own phishing screen.

### 1/5 — It doesnt work

*2017-03-02, version 1.0.4*

It wont play my mp3 music from Dropbox

### 3/5 — Was working well until...

*2017-02-01, version 1.0.4*

Just to saying that there a bug where when you enter the app; it logs you out whenever your trying to play music or etc. 
 It's making it impossible to work with and I've tried logging out of my account then reloading back in. In overall I'm hoping for an update soon to fix that.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2017-01-12, version 1.0.4*

I'm not sure if I am just failing to understand, or the app isn't working. I bought an iXpand flash drive for iPhone, and the device proceeded to tell me to get the app. After doing so there were no directions on telling me what to do. I played around with the app for a few minutes and the only thing that looked like instructions wouldn't open and made the app time out. Overall I got nowhere.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-06-05, version 1.0.3*

Will not recognize avi files.
