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. [R9] 5/5 · US file folder: I like this file folder on my apple iPad this new file folder on my apple iPad works grate my new apple iPad still in good shape and still works I can stream Disney plus - YouTube - ABC -ABC-2 - pandora radio - nick -prime video and more .
2. [R17] 3/5 · US I’m just a little slow.: I don’t ever write reviews for apps but I thought I would give it a shot. I think the app is pretty cool but my learning curve isn’t as high as it used to be but I still like the idea of having an app that organizes files.
3. [R20] 5/5 · US Organized: Need it, a lot can go wrong if you’re not.
4. [R31] 5/5 · US Good App.: I recently started using the app and it has been working well.
5. [R98] 5/5 · US Very good overall: (review based on an older version; other recent reviews seem to indicate newer versions have significant problems) Good: - A very good file manager - Some nice tools such as a decent mp3 player, text editor, zip file tools, some copy/paste support between programs (to get around the OS’s bewildering lack of a fundamental, standard shared file system) Bad: - Distracting adverti
6. [R463] 3/5 · CA It's got potential - a few unresolved problems: Enabled me to add documents to my iOS device and setup a file structure. Able to access cloud spaces (ie, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc). Individual file action, using the "swipe" feature fails 100% of the time. I'm not sure if it worked before iOS 8, but not now. No support available from what I can see. No discussion threads to help resolve issues. Go
7. [R617] 3/5 · AU Quite good: It's not finder ( why can't anybody write a user-friendly file manager for iOS?) but it's the best of the handful that I've tried so far. It does actually allow me to do pretty everything I want to ( access Dropbox, send files by Bluetooth, access photo library, zip and unzip, etc) but just not in a very intuitive way. I expect once I get used to its idiosyncrasies I'll quite like it.
8. [R1] 1/5 · US Worst Ever: Trying to download an a form through this app is useless
9. [R2] 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
10. [R5] 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.
11. [R41] 1/5 · US Fake.: Impossible to move files into folders.
12. [R65] 1/5 · US Hasn’t worked for weeks: When going to a site where I need to login, the App suddenly closes/crashes as soon as i click in the username field. This has been happening for weeks and I assumed someone would have addressed the issue by now, but I think it’s been abandoned by the developer. Three years since last update and so many unaddressed bugs.
13. [R241] 3/5 · US Option to move file keeps crashing: This *was* an excellent app, but recently (maybe after an update?) the menu to move a file just stops appearing. It’s supposed to show at the bottom of the screen when you select a file. The only way I can get it back is to exit the app and come back in, but it disappears again after I open a file. So say I have 100 files to sort: I have to open the file to
14. [R286] 3/5 · GB Has many bugs: In theory it is exactly what I am looking for. sadly it has quite a few bugs. When you delete a folder it shuts down. When I move a pdf to a file from email it contains no script. You can’t drag & drop from one file to another. Could be far more efficient.
15. [R287] 3/5 · GB Was great, now crashes often: Was great, now crashes when I attempt to move some (not all) pdf files to other apps. Please restore its former greatness!
16. [R6] 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
17. [R22] 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.
18. [R24] 1/5 · US Not happy: I want to cancel this. I should have it free on my phone.
19. [R38] 1/5 · US “Free”: Why do they need a credit card if it’s free.
20. [R114] 3/5 · US Feels Outdated: App doesn’t find Files App folders. You need to transfer all files over, only supports basic file extensions, no hold and drag features.. feels like the app is about 5 years behind… didn’t try pro. Can’t justify the cost by free features alone
21. [R130] 5/5 · US Dark mode: i like it but light mode hurts my eyes, can you add dark mode?
22. [R394] 3/5 · GB Great app - terrible update!!!: Have really enjoyed the flexibility and speed of this app. Until i recently accepted the update and now some files like animated gifs no longer work. What a shame!!!
23. [R15] 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.
24. [R42] 3/5 · US Delete?: How do I delete a file
25. [R81] 4/5 · US Delete?: How do I delete folders?
26. [R147] 4/5 · US Love this, but . . ,: There are a couple of issues that arose after using the app for a while. Used to be you could search and when you selected from what was found, it went to that item. For example a recipe searched on “shrimp” would bring up all the titles containing the word “shrimp.” When I select one, it all goes away. In the past, it would jump to my selection. Also you used to be able
27. [R8] 1/5 · US Unrecognizable: I never downloaded this app and I can confirm my device was recently infected… most likely malware
28. [R11] 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
29. [R23] 1/5 · US To let hackers access ur info: I can't open my files my passwords have been changed and apps added
30. [R34] 1/5 · US Suspicious app: Somebody needs to check it out because of the fact that I had a bunch of issues whenever I got on it browser whatever they have on it search google clicked and it took all these problems. Wonder if it’s the app or where it took me, but it was weird I don’t know much but I know it was not a good experience.
31. [R14] 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.
32. [R570] 3/5 · AU Good app: Good app but get error when try and add Dropbox account. Sent feedback but no response for months.
33. [R18] 1/5 · US Spammy: Shows me ads as soon as i open. Annoying
34. [R63] 1/5 · US File manager ads: I can’t load any files because ads popup covering my whole screen. File manager is worthless because of this.
35. [R518] 3/5 · AU very annoying scrolling advertisments...: I’ll be deleting this app after I’ve written this as the very annoyng scrolling ad at the bottom of the screen is way too distracting. There are many other free file managers that do the job perfectly without this visual interference...
36. [R29] 2/5 · US NOT Intuitive: needs “how to”. on hover…. ie: how to change a file name, why UNZIPPING is not working
37. [R32] 1/5 · US ??: I save a lot of stuff. Somehow nothing ends up here. Not very user friendly
38. [R36] 1/5 · US Directions?: Be nice if I had some directions on how to start!
39. [R46] 1/5 · US Not as stated: The app is not free, you have to pay monthly after a 3 day trial
40. [R56] 1/5 · US Liars: They say it’s free but then after you download they say they charge $1.99 a month after trial. They don’t say how you can cancel so I’m blocking them.
41. [R33] 1/5 · US Miserable iPhone 14 all the iPhones exist on the Earth: Miserable, miserable, miserable iPhones in general after selecting file leads you to nowhere to transfer your file sD card what a brilliant technology so brilliant stinks
42. [R135] 3/5 · US From love to lukewarm: Moving files around is no longer possible? Kind of makes the app worthless. There's some option to subscribe to 21 other apps with the possibility that maybe the move feature will part of that but that's just overkill and silly and not cool
