1. [R1] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Worst Ever: Trying to download an a form through this app is useless
2. [R4] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US App sucks: Keeps wanting me to download the app to be able to download the file and it won’t let me download the file and I put my sign in. I’ve signed up. I’ve done everything I know to do and it won’t work so your app sucks. I’m trying to register my product, but I’ll make sure GE knows about this. Cause you people suck you have no Customer Service! I will not be using you and I will make sure G
3. [R12] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · US Too difficult: Keep getting message to download (won’t open)
4. [R15] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · GB Bug found: Images somehow changes to the last image that was place there so the file end looking different until you open it
5. [R7] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Garbage app, last update was 5 years ago: Doesn’t work to the point of it being completely useless on my IPhone 13 Pro Max… so my guess it anything newer than that will have issues running this piece of crapware on their phone as well.
6. [R19] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Not loading on computer: Loaded to my phone, then put it into my computer could not load it
7. [R28] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Can’t email over 4.8 MB: I’ve never had issues sending files over 4.8 MB or higher until as of recent.. is there a fix for this? Ive contacted your support site and the link seems to be broken and the website has not been up to date since 2015.
8. [R9] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · US Delete?: How do I delete a file
9. [R14] File Manager & Browser 4/5 · US Missing Features: This App is great in its display and presentation of folders, files and documents, BUT The 2 issues I have is that (1) I can’t get pdf and word documents that are Password Protected to Open and (2) the ability to RENAME FILES / documents/photos. Give me that and I’ll give all 5 stars.
10. [R33] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · GB Could be better: There are limited sharing options (email and Airdrop only; no WhatsApp) and some screens use blue on black, which is almost invisible in broad daylight.
11. [R49] File Manager & Browser 2/5 · US NOT Intuitive: needs “how to”. on hover…. ie: how to change a file name, why UNZIPPING is not working
12. [R10] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Sorry file: Cannot activate without card information if it’s free which it says it is then no card information is needed
13. [R27] File Manager & Browser 3/5 · GB Its Ok but: You have to buy the bundle to get rid of adverts. I would like to pay once to unlock just the file manager so will look elsewhere
14. [R34] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Spammy: Shows me ads as soon as i open. Annoying
15. [R37] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Fraud?: The very first sentence in the description is “Filemanager is free…”, but after they get you to install it, the very first thing it says is that it’s only free for 3 days, then you must subscribe. Another bait and switch scheme. also noticed no dark mode, but doesn’t matter, immediately removing.
16. [R16] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Unrecognizable: I never downloaded this app and I can confirm my device was recently infected… most likely malware
17. [R22] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Malware/Spyware: My ex-husband had this app remotely downloaded on all of my electronics to engage in stalking and unlawful surveillance of all my app activities and downloaded message logs, emails, etc. it's completely the worst type of personal invasion and can be remotely downloaded and goes through your iCloud and or carrier cloud and cannot be removed! This company/this app should be BANNEE
18. [R40] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US To let hackers access ur info: I can't open my files my passwords have been changed and apps added
19. [R51] Bolt Browser and Documents 1/5 · US So the app sucks now: You used to be able to download videos from all kinds of sights and now it doesn’t give you the option to download anymore. Waste of time

25. [R68] Offline 1/5 · US The app is broken. Fix it now.: The app is very broken. It won’t let me download anything into it. I am sharing it YouTube videos and a new voice and it wouldn’t download it then I use Easy Voice Recorder to record a YouTube video and send it but then it would just keep going back to the app screens dumb app. Do not download it on your phones or anything because trust me it won’t download anything
26. [R70] Offline 3/5 · US Need help: Anybody know why I can’t download YouTube videos anymore?
27. [R80] Browser and Documents Manager 5/5 · US Good For IPhone: Thank you for countering that downloading failure thing.
28. [R81] Browser and Documents Manager 3/5 · US Why can’t I download anymore?: I can’t download anymore. Why? It’s been awesome until now
29. [R82] Browser and Documents Manager 2/5 · US Can’t Download Videos from YouTube: I had a similar app on my last iPhone and I was able to download any video from YouTube but now it’s not allowing me to download videos or music that I want to use to make edits or videos for my own YouTube channel. This app sucks. I can’t gain access to what I need. if these stupid creators of this app don’t fix this app, I swear I’m gonna delete it in a few mo
30. [R83] Browser and Documents Manager 5/5 · US BEST APP OUT THERE!: I’m gonna go somewhere for a trip and I remember that I don’t have cellular data so what I did was download my music in this app AND IT WORKS EVEN IN AIRPLANE MODE!!! Recommend.
31. [R93] Browser & Offline File Storage 2/5 · US Still looking: OK, I don’t wanna be mean like some of these other reviewers have been OK developer I guess I will give you some slack because the app did work with my screen reader and so this developer will get credit for that but the reason it is only getting two stars is because I can’t use it. It won’t let me get past the subscription wall. I can’t even test it out.
32. [R94] Browser & Offline File Storage 5/5 · US Amazing program: I love it
33. [R95] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · US Decent: It’s a great app but there are very frustrating issues. the language barriers are annoying and It’s pretty finicky and randomly won’t work. You have to try multiple times before the video will download. Random videos will not have sound. Besides that it gets the job done.
34. [R96] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Dummy: I can’t sign in to my YouTube channel
35. [R43] File Manager & Browser 1/5 · US Not happy: I want to cancel this. I should have it free on my phone.
