### 1/5 — 新建文件或文件夹崩溃

*2022-12-29*

### 1/5 — Crashes and closes upon new file or folder creation

*2022-01-28*

I just downloaded this off of the app store and I even bought the premium features.  It appears to be a great app, however, when I try to create a new folder or file, the app crashes, closes and dumps me back out to my iPad Home screen…..??!!!!  This essentially makes the app useless despite the fact that it looks great in the app store and even if you download it and attempt to use it.  Developer(s), please fix the bug in your app!!  It looks like you put in a lot of work on a great app for it to just crash at a very basic operation.  Apple iPad 12.9 Pro purchased in December of 2021, Wifi only, not cellular, currently running on 15.2.1 version iOS.

### 1/5 — Missing languages

### 1/5 — Kepps crashing out

*2021-06-09, version 2.0*

It's more than 6 months since I purchased this app and it keeps crashing, no attempt to fix from developers. Disappointing.
