What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 92 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. [R1] 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.
  2. [R27] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Does not work: And demands payment upfront.
  3. [R35] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Subscription based upon launch.: You can’t use the app without paying into a subscription.
  4. [R3] 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.
  5. [R6] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · US Having problems with downloading videos: So, when I first downloaded the app it was pretty good at downloading stuff! But then later it started to stop downloading videos and kept saying it couldn’t find the link. Hopefully you can update this bug, thank you!
  6. [R8] Browser & Offline File Storage 5/5 · US Update 🙏🏻: This app is laggy. in the searching bar it is laggy and watching videos on YouTube and just videos? Are bad lag or bugs🤔👍😁
  7. [R9] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · US Buggy: Even with full access you have to try downloading multiple times. If the title of the file is excessively long it will use the tail end for the file extension. I do like the app but the bugs have made the app quit working for me.
  8. [R18] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · GB It’s okay…: Worked for about 1 day and then completely crashed, can no longer access anything.
  9. [R29] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US L: After a week of using it refuses to work, I believe they only give you a free amount of downloads before forcing you to pay. Very disappointing app
  10. [R39] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Download: After a week it’s not working downloading for me anymore
  11. [R40] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Stops working days later with no response from support: Eventually stops working after a few days with support not responding to chat or emails. There’s always a reply to chat later or will respond to email, but do not. I’ve rebooted and it asks for additional funds. The bank informed me to screenshot replies and inability to download to support my refund claim.
  12. [R4] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Dummy: I can’t sign in to my YouTube channel
  13. [R7] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Not Working: Won’t let you log into YouTube.
  14. [R15] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · US Run away ⚠️: Awful 🤮 the app will not let you download videos! The file shows up as a large html file but not as a simple direct link from the saved URL !
  15. [R19] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Doesn’t you download from sites: Useless.
  16. [R23] Browser & Offline File Storage 4/5 · US Great, but could be better: I’ve been using the app for about a week now, and I haven’t faced many problems with it. The audio quality is good, the download process is quick, and it’s able to download everything I need it to. My problem comes with organisation. The app comes with a feature to make folders, but doesn’t allow you to put files into them, and you also can’t change file names, so you’r
  17. [R10] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US $$$hungry: Immediately asked me 4 songs into downloading my playlist to pay because “I reached the daily limit”
  18. [R21] Browser & Offline File Storage 3/5 · GB Finally another one…. THE ADS👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽: Can download I think as I haven’t actually made it to getting to the downloading part, BUT THE ADS ARE DISGUSTING 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  19. [R51] Documents 1/5 · US Undisclosed Fees After First 7 Days!: Listing in AppStore said only “In-App Purchases,” implying that it’s a free app with possibly optional add-ons that would cost extra; standard model I’ve encountered in MANY APPS over years. Instead, when I opened your Documents app, I was summarily informed that I had 7 days free trial period, after which I would be charged monthly fees!! I never agreed to th
  20. [R55] Documents 5/5 · US Great app: I have been using this app for years and with confidence I can say this app is one of the greatest apps ever made and it’s perfect for downloading and listening to music for free 10/10 app
  21. [R56] Documents 3/5 · US Saving Links … Downloading Content: The new ability to save links and intact with them like files is quite nifty. But now what’s needed is the ability to download content, particularly videos, from a link/webpage. This needs to work on the same level as Downie on Mac. Documents’ continued refinement and expansion makes it the clearest contender to be downloading videos/files/content. Documents
  22. [R57] Documents 1/5 · US Did not say they want to charge monthly fee: I do not know if the product works well or not. However, I did not see anything that stated it was a subscription service until after I had downloaded and installed the application. I seldom use ZIP files on my phone and that was the only reason I was looking. Disappointed they “hid the ball” when it comes to a monthly subscription fee - particularly w
  23. [R65] 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
  24. [R67] Bolt Browser and Documents 3/5 · US Need VPN w/ Adblock to not get spammed with full screen unskippable ads: 2 stars off for the ad spam issue. App can never be allowed to connect to internet without VPN w/ ad block. Because if it ever connects unprotected to internet full screen ad spam will continue with or without vpn until you delete and reinstall app.
  25. [R68] Bolt Browser and Documents 1/5 · US Ruined: Y’all completely ruined the app for us😭😭 bring the download back if you could
  26. [R69] Bolt Browser and Documents 5/5 · US Overall: Love this app had for about 4-5 years
  27. [R79] Box 1/5 · US Very clunky and disconnected from the rest of the org sharing and retrieving: Efficiency impediment
  28. [R80] Box 5/5 · US Great: Great easy to use.
  29. [R81] 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
  30. [R82] 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.
  31. [R16] Browser & Offline File Storage 1/5 · US Keeps crashing when I try to rename tracks: Otherwise ok
