Cannot see directories starts with ‘.’

A good app supports connecting to windows shared drives. However, it cannot see any folder starts with a dot character. E.g. folder with name “.profile” is not visible. Please fix this in the next release?

Still can’t transfer correctly

Sending files to a computer, it will not send the last file you select. If you select only one file to send to a pc, it will not send at all

Stopped working iOS 14.

Stopped working after iOS 15 update

Unsuccessful in reading files

I used to use this app regularly. But a few years ago it stopped its capability of reading my files stored on my Apple Airport router. My devices currently run iOS 13.4 and I just get a gray screen when trying to view a file. I had hoped this issue would’ve been fixed with software updates, but it has not. Hope to be able to once again use this app soon.

The file manager Apple should provide

but didn’t. So get this app! Does a great job with local and remote files. Simple file transfer or streaming of all popular formats. In fact, I am using this app instead of DLNA for playing LAN content.

Free version no longer plays videos?

Free version lost the ability to play any video file. Not cool.

Used to love this app

New version took away ability to play basic videos, which it seems to do great. Now it’s useless for streaming my guitar lessons to my iPad from my NAS, which was the primary reason I used it

Last update breaks media playback

Was a good app... this last so-called big version update removes mp3, mp4, mpeg and other multimedia format playback but doesn’t disclose .

Videos no longer work

Some video file formats that worked in previous versions now throw a prompt to purchase the full version.

Latest (October 2019) update broke app

No longer loads/plays video. Just a blank gray screen.

I loved this app until...

I’ve been using this app for a long time and I’ve been able to access files on my time capsule but all of a sudden I’ve been receiving connecting timed out errors. I know my time capsule is functioning as I’m able to access it through my other devices. I’m very disappointed!

Sweet, sweet love down by the fire.

Perfect for streaming those special media files from the file server upstairs in the main house to my iPad down here in the shop. I may make the plunge into app ownership in the near future. Glorious days we are living people! Glorious days......

Problems access Time Capsule

It’s not working to access Time Capsule through Mobile Data. It’s works only through Wi-Fi anywhere.

Description is a lie

This app does not play ANY movie files, even of the types explicitly listed. Instead, a pop up shows up trying to get you to pay for the “premium” version.

The listing needs to be accurate. I’ve reported this app to Apple until it is changed.

It Does What I Need

A good remote file manager for NAS storage. The streaming options are a big plus. It does what I need.

Please update for iPhone X

The control overlapping with the home bad in the bottom

Fully accessible, works great.

As a blind user it's magnificent that an app works for me. Or use voice over on my iPhone it works great. Great job thank you

Something Apple should have built in

This gives functionality that the iPhone should have such as local file management, works well for storage and playing media files.

works for me

The app is useful in giving access to files photos and video on my network drive remotely via iPads.
I like the ease of use and fast connect.
Thanks fjs

So far so good

Great program for moving files from my network to my iPad. Does everything it says. Haven't been using it long so may not be aware of any problems but haven't encountered any yet.
