### 1/5 — Poubelle !

*2024-12-09*

Cette app s'attribuant par défaut la lecture des fichiers textes situés dans l'app Fichiers,
et au vu de l'impossibilité de modifier ce comportement par un paramètre, 
le seul recours est de supprimer cette app en la mettant à la poubelle.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2024-09-01*

Doesn’t even start up properly

### 2/5 — Name is a misnomer: Does not actually work with USB cable

*2015-09-24*

Does not actually connect through USB. Must use wifi. :(…..
It may work fine with wifi, but if you are electrosensitive this app is worthless.
Should change the name.
Nice looking design.
Might work perfectly well via wifi.

### 5/5 — Very practical

*2014-12-06*

It's a Swiss thing. Practical. It takes one to know one.

### 5/5 — USB Stick ist Vergangenheit

*2014-06-06*

Wer braucht denn einen USB Anschluss?
Es gibt doch USB Drive!
Das reicht! Mit der cloud hat man überflüssig viel Speicher, Super! So hat man immer alles was wichtig ist dabei!
Funktioniert einfach! Im doppeltem Sinn.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2013-07-31*

I like it so much, so I decided to write a review. Vey simple and effective, file transfer is a simple and wireless so it works on any computer even if is not yours. Must for every smart phone.

### 2/5 — nur eingeschränkt funktionsfähig

*2013-06-06*

bei Dateinamen mit Umlauten hängt sich der Windows-Explorer beim Kopieren auf den FTP Server auf

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2013-05-14*

Hi, I got this App and was using it in seconds,great not bad for a 75
Years old.

### 1/5 — Wording a bit misleading

*2013-04-09*

This app talks about transferring to a USB stick that you can carry around with you. This does not mean you can transfer to a USB device that you connect via the camera adapter. More fool me. Watch out and do not make the same mistake that I did. I have no use for a on iPad file manager.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-04-04*

Reads everything, try it out its the best
