What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

  1. [R6] Box 3/5 · US If only the iOS app was not ridiculously slow…: If only the iOS app was not ridiculously slow, Box would be the absolute best. Please fix this
  2. [R7] Box 1/5 · US Recent update: Very slow loading of files and folders
  3. [R10] Box 1/5 · US Always crashing, doesn’t always open files, laggy and slow: Major fixes needed. Using the camera that is built in to the app is a nightmare. It lags SO much, takes 5 minutes to take 1 picture and that’s if you’re lucky enough for it to even do that. Now I have resorted to taking photos with my phone and upload them through the app. I don’t like doing this because my camera is full of work pictures
  4. [R16] Box 1/5 · US Terrible: Terrible. Couldn’t open anything just spinning forever.
  5. [R12] Box 3/5 · US Decent - A lot to be desired: When it works it works well, which is why it’s getting 3 stars. So what doesn’t work? 1. I almost always have to enter a folder, leave it, then reenter it to see documents. No matter how long I wait they won’t show up the first time. 2. It’s VERY hard to get documents to and from Adobe (to be fair this might be Adobe’s fault…but it’s really easy from Google Docs s
  6. [R21] Box 3/5 · US Not syncing !: I almost lost my years videos because application is not syncing! It just give errors for offline videos It seems like no one is fixing the issue
  7. [R27] Box 3/5 · US Powerful but clunky: Box is a powerful tool for mobile devices when it works correctly, but unfortunately on both iOS and Android it frequently fails to allow file saving.
  8. [R31] Box 1/5 · US Poor and unreliable app.: Slow app. Crashes frequently. Offline mode not reliable (content not always available offline even though it has been downloaded for offline use). Overall poor and unreliable.
  9. [R3] Box 3/5 · US “New Look” horrible: The New Look makes it harder to see the full file or folder name. Larger font and icons plus dead space on right leaves no room for the full name. I don’t care if it matches iOS 26, keep the app useful for the user. I’ve used the iPhone Box app from when it was first offered. I love Box, but the app is getting more user unfriendly each update chasing glamor instead of usabilit
  10. [R4] Box 2/5 · US Sloppy: This USED to be a good app but they have really let it go. After you delete files, to add more there is a “+” button that doesn’t show until you press “cancel” which of course always makes you wonder if they are undoing what you just did. And even that setup changes weekly. It’s a mess.
  11. [R13] Box 2/5 · US This used to be a great app: I don’t know what the thought process was on this latest update but undo it. Using on the phone is now harder to move multiple files at once. I hate it all.
  12. [R30] Box 3/5 · US New Update is Trash: I use box for work and have no issue on desktop but the new mobile update is NOT user friendly. They got rid of some features, reorganized and moved others under new tabs, and overall did a horrible job with the ux/ ui redesign. Disappointing that they’ve made it more difficult instead of simpler.
  13. [R1] Box 1/5 · US Very clunky and disconnected from the rest of the org sharing and retrieving: Efficiency impediment
  14. [R25] Box 1/5 · US Bad Sharing: No option to share to box from WhatsApp or Google Photos. this option is available on Android.
  15. [R34] Box 1/5 · US waste of time: the more I need to use this app the worse I find the quality. not being able to download a handful of photos to my ipad at once from a folder is a dealbreaker for me, even if my institution provides the ‘premium’ version, it’s so horrendous and other apps do it so much better
  16. [R9] Box 3/5 · US Google authentication doesn’t work on mobile app: I can’t sign in on the app because it only allows you to type your email / password and doesn’t offer Google sign in and when I try that it says it’s incorrect.
  17. [R15] Box 3/5 · US Box Interface: The App has difficulty using the Apple ecosystem! Constantly logs you out without the ability to automatically use your save passwords to log you back in! Been using this app for years and it seems to be specifically the app and not the desktop interface. Each time I open the app from my phone, it asks to login again and refuses to use the password link already saved on my phone. N
  18. [R33] Box 3/5 · GB Please stop!: Please STOP signing me out!
  19. [R39] Box 1/5 · US Horrible battery consumption: The app functions reasonably well, but its battery consumption is horrible! 2 hours on screen viewing pdfs results in 42% battery consumption on a 13” iPad? That’s insane.
  20. [R41] Box 1/5 · US Slowest uploads: Cannot upload efficiently- I have the newest iPhone. You have to stay in the app. Cannot do anything else - takes an hour to do 20 photos/videos. Garbage system.
  21. [R22] Box 1/5 · US HORRIBLE: Horrible customer service. There are much better and less expensive platforms.
  22. [R37] Box 1/5 · US Stagnant functionality and broken billing: I have been a customer for 10+ years, and it is clearly time to move on. If you are looking to host family digital assets, this app has stopped in its development for you years ago. The photo sync is borderline broken. Pretty much useless if you have a lot of photos. They have clearly abandoned the consumer market. Their billing system is broken too. T
  23. [R51] Microsoft 365 Copilot 2/5 · US What’s Going On?: Remember when Microsoft 365 was actually functional? Before Copilot took over completely? Don’t get me wrong, I use Copilot, a lot…but there’s a specific app for that. I liked Microsoft 365 so I had one stop to open, edit, save documents in my OneDrive without having to download each individual app on my phone. Now this is too integrated and not functional. Sometimes keeping it
  24. [R53] Microsoft 365 Copilot 3/5 · US A bit behind…: 1. Model seems to be behind on docs. Answers are two-to-three versions ago. 2. When giving solutions, it blasts you with too many solution paths. Needs to be more stepwise.
  25. [R54] Microsoft 365 Copilot 1/5 · US By far the dumbest AI: Constantly forget instructions, makes basic mistakes and even lies at time! Don’t ask it anything more than proofreading things or translations. Honestly Microsoft should pay us to use this joke of an AI.
  26. [R60] Microsoft 365 Copilot 1/5 · US What is this garbage?: This app used to be a one stop shop for all of my documents in OneDrive. It was convenient for use on an iPhone (since I didn’t want all those apps here). Now it’s a disconnected version of their CoPilot app. I.e. None of the existing CoPilot history appears to be accessible here. tl;dr. This is garbage and if allowed, I would rate it a 0.
  27. [R67] Manus 3/5 · US It’s great but the app itself has issues: Don’t get me wrong the ai is great but the credits and daily limit stuff pisses me off I genuinely am limited to four attempts to make a complete website or fix a zip file
  28. [R68] Manus 1/5 · US Horrible: Crashes a lot and customer service is not helpful they use mostly AI agents for customer service it constantly will crash your app and stay in a De bugging state. It’ll take you months to get what other apps can do.in a few hours or days. It’ll start out good but end up bad. You’ll be frustrated and will want your money back.
  29. [R71] Manus 1/5 · US This used to be amazing: 40,000 credits and 4 hours and work was not done !!! So disappointing
  30. [R72] Manus 5/5 · US Exceeding expectations with zero fraction: -Interactive automation -workflow for repetitive tasks Manus is a finisher and then some !!! I’m really looking forward to seeing the website ,
  31. [R79] invideo AI 1/5 · US Huge SCAM‼️: This app is a total scam. It doesn’t tell you how many credits you’ll need for a project, then once you’re working, it continues to have you “add credits” to continue. Huge SCAM‼️
  32. [R81] invideo AI 1/5 · US Horrible app: I bought the 20$ bundle and I used it to make one video and it didn’t even complete the video before i ran out of credits such a waste of money.
  33. [R82] invideo AI 5/5 · US Great help making Videos: This is one of the best AI video making apps I used , I like how I can enter my prompt and then it turns it into a great video , however this website app is quite expensive, but it is good
  34. [R83] invideo AI 1/5 · US Scam: This app is honestly a scam. I really wanted to like it, and it has a lot of potential. Started with the free version and got about 10 seconds into generating the video when “I ran out of credits”. Fine. I paid the $20 for a subscription as it seemed like it would be worth it. Got another 10 seconds into generating the original video before I, again, ran out of credits. It’s ridiculous and a
  35. [R93] TeraBox 1/5 · US C app: C C doesn't log out and is full of ads. · translated
  36. [R94] TeraBox 5/5 · US EXCELENTE: Muy buena aplicación para guardar fotos
  37. [R95] TeraBox 3/5 · US 2 issues in terabox.: This app is so good to use but two things. i don’t like one is when download photos from terabox the quality looks potato, low quality despite having a good quality photos and other one is optimization issues, phone get hot after using only 1 minutes. Hope you guys fixed it.
  38. [R97] TeraBox 5/5 · US Perfect score: The storage space is very large.
  39. [R108] ElevenLabs 5/5 · US AMAZING: This is a amazing app it's so useful
  40. [R109] ElevenLabs 3/5 · US I love it but a big bug!: So I want to rant about something stupid and I used hope or birtney and it sound like a robot not the girly voice and I was so confused? So I did an other account and it did the same thing maybe it my iPad but if you know how to fix this then tell me thanks!
  41. [R111] ElevenLabs 5/5 · US My voice sounds robotic: I don’t know how to fix my voice it sounds robotic and weird how do I fix this eleven labs please respond back
  42. [R112] ElevenLabs 3/5 · US ??: I didn't want to say this, but I stopped using the app for a while. When I tried to use it again, it claimed I was using multiple accounts simultaneously, even though I only had one active account. Every time I tried to select a specific voice I liked, it wouldn't let me; it would only allow me to use one particular voice. It’s a 5-star app, but it won't let me use the voice I always use.
