File Manager App for Negative User Reviews
✓ UselessSurprised that I could open excel on this ipad, did some work on trai and saved, but saved where. No trace if file, user be-aware.Version: 2.8
✓ Limited capabilitiesAbility to search other directories, is extremely limited. Downloaded file are not accessible if U want to send them as an attachments.Version: 2.8
✓ Not like explorerCan only see photos. Have to buy pro version to see all files. Useless.Version: 2.8
✓ Pretty uselessAt first I thought was to be a good app. Then I found that there is no way to edit or add text. There are no instructions or a guide of any kind. Tried contacting but all that gave was adverts for their other products. At present I am using a free file manager which is much better. There has been no comment from the developer. If you try to contact them, all you get is adverts for more of their (useless) products. this seems to be seems to be a rip off and I do not know why i t is on the - Apple Store . Do not pay for this, the free file managers are far superior..Version: 2.1
✓ Not well designedThere are three basic things that people want to do with files : add, change and delete. There really is nothing else. This app lacks a 'delete' function and is therefore totally useless. Any attempt to organise files with this app will result in your favourite stuff being swamped by temporary garbage that stays in it for ever. Rethink, chaps ... Zero stars. Deleted..Version: 1.1
✓ TerribleFirst thing is I was charged for the app when there was no information on pricing. Second, there is no ability to change the name of a file or change the file type. USELESS!!!.Version: 2.8
✓ Oh DearCan’t do anything unless you pay. Very disappointing..Version: 2.8
✓ ReviewIt's a good one though can't access all the files.Version: 2.1
✓ Nothing! No files, no foldersI downloaded a song and wanted to see where it went. Downloaded your app and view local only takes me to the user guide. Users guide only tells me how great it is and to buy the pro version for 5 bucks. I go back to view local and there are no folders. I can see photos in the gallery but I can do that in Photos. I should see a folder called Music with the song I downloaded. Doesn’t work and I won’t buy it without trying it..Version: 2.8
✓ Misleading descriptionDescription says you can access files from other apps but you can't. You need another app for that- file manager pro-which you need to pay for. If they mislead on something so simple how can you trust them? App deleted....Version: 2.1
✓ Don't like itIt looks nice, but... It only sees photos I can already see in the built in Camera app. There's tons of other stuff that isn't shown. What's the point?.Version: 2.8
✓ Unable to rename files. The option doesn’t exist.I found this app looking for one that would give me the ability to rename photos on my iPad Pro, running iOS 12.3.1. I’m tired of having to upload them to OneDrive, delete them from my iPad Pro, rename them on the cloud and then download them to the iPad Pro again. This app page states that among the features is the ability to rename files, which is exactly what I need. This would be really awesome... if the option actually existed. But, it doesn’t. Among the many options available to me in this app, renaming a file is not one provided. I have tried with numerous photos, as well as PDF files. There are options to copy into many apps, save to device (I’m not sure why, since the file is already on it) and so on. But, the option to rename a file? Nope. It isn’t there. This is the one thing I needed this app to do, but the option does not exist in this app on my device. Back to the drawing board..Version: 2.8
✓ I cant find filesI downloaded it to see files app on my iphone like telegram or other files. But its nothing..Version: 2.8
✓ RubbishDoes virtually nothing.Version: 2.8
✓ No goodWay to basic. It does not let you view the majority of files and folders on phone..Version: 2.1
✓ Please make it more understandableI’ve been trying to get mods on a game and people say these types of apps are the best, but all of them are trash and I cannot get the app in the managed app. This is the same for all the other apps, it might be great for businesses and junk. But this is really disappointing! Please fix you system if able. To be honest, I wanted to make it save a link to an app and I tries to click it but it said I had to get a different app to be able to read it, so I’m thinking.. “I’m wasting my storage up on something that won’t even work? Wow.” Have a Good Day/Night!.Version: 2.8
✓ Poor supportUnable to find and use other folders not found. tried the help menu on the website. Waste of time. get something like used on a windows unit. needs to be very much improved for ease of use... off to find a new app for this..Version: 2.8
✓ Has Google built into itSettings shows generic web browser, which I don't have that. Tap that and opens Google. My iPhone has no Google apps. Safari has duck duck default also Safari is shut down in settings and not used. I use duck browser only. Besides that issue default iPhone files shows same info. You have to pay for more.Version: 2.8
✓ BigShitMust pay for use iCloud files.Version: 2.8
✓ File Manager??? NOT!!!Am I missing something? I was looking for a file manager that worked similar to FINDER. This whole app seems to be built around DROP BOX -- what about iCloud files or other cloud storage systems. This app is very disappointing at best. Not worth downloading..Version: 2.2
✓ The time of app you regret the second you downloadAbsolutely nothing like windows explorer or finder doesn't let you actually explore any files that aren't Dropbox basically just an advertisement for a paid version, these are the types of apps that make people hate the AppStore marketed with lies and completely banking on fooling someone into downloading only to open it and find absolutely no browsing ability beyond that of the Dropbox app or photo stream..Version: 2.8
✓ File manager will not openI have important documents stored in file manager. Today they will not open properly I cannot do my job without these..Version: 2.8
✓ File ManagerVery good app but would like to access between iPhone and iPad..Version: 2.1
✓ No go!Installed to be able to control files on my iPad but this app sees no files at all. I have PDFs, music, movies, pictures and so on on my ipad but none of that is visible in this app. Contacted developer but not a word back! Stay away!.Version: 1.2
✓ Makes no senseNo documentation, interface doesn't make sense. Never been able to do anything with this app. Useless..Version: 2.8
✓ No good on iPadOS 13.4You can’t copy and paste from this app anymore.Version: 2.8
✓ PointlessIt only seems to access the same files I can see in the photos app. What's the point of that? I can already access them..Version: 2.8
✓ Not working-Nov ‘22?Installed to iPhone but cannot get it to find any files or folders..Version: 2.8
✓ Pointless same as the paid versionIt states it can copy, mark,move, send etc etc BUT there is no option to DELETE a file ! Surely that must be one of the most needed and basic features of a ‘file manager’ ?? In local files you cannot even see your icloud folders - how useless, save your money and don’t bother wasting 4.99 on the paid version. How frustrating to be organising files to then have to exit the app then go into the apple file manager or photo album to have to simply delete a file ??.Version: 2.8
✓ Downgraded after pro releaseI’ve upgraded my phone and hence all my old apps have been reloaded and where this file manager worked perfectly before now it doesn’t and it appears I need to pay for a pro version. Simple things like closing the screen or moving back are non existent!.Version: 2.8
✓ Horrible waste of timeA horrible waste of time. Files are hidden from you forcing you to operate in a useless myopic view of your iPad. Stop making trash and do something useful..Version: 2.8
✓ No longer works properly after IOS 13 updateThis was my favourite file manager until iOS 13 was introduced, since when it is no longer possible to cut, copy or paste into folders. Files can be saved into the root directory, but when trying to save, copy or move into a sub directory or folder a blank page is displayed and the app locks up. I have informed the developer but received no response. I am now having to use an alternative app..Version: 2.8
✓ It's a lieThis App does not work like windows file manager. You can not view any files on your ipad, it works to import files only and from a small group of outside storage mediums..Version: 2.1
✓ Little thingsThe app works perfectly, however numerous little things make using it aggravating. For example, when renaming files, it will automatically put a period at the end of the name, regardless of whether you want it there or not..Version: 2.8
✓ RegularI like this APP, but I can not change the font size of PDF files to read, nor full screen options. a couple of thems more, they would be good.Version: 2.8
✓ UselessNot a File Manager's bootlace. Just a viewer (partial one at that) that cant' manipulate files. GP.Version: 2.2
✓ PoorDoes not have wifi capability.Version: 2.8
✓ AvoidRubbish cannot import files to the app.Version: 2.8
✓ Feeling Ripped OffI chose the upgrade to pro version and it charged me but never gave me the pro version!!!!!! I have proof of transaction and proof I don’t have the pro version after payment! I’ve sent emails to avail over the past two weeks not sure if my data is even safe now with this app???.Version: 2.8
✓ Ok, but not fantastic.Firstly, the file manager is not like the file manager in mac or windows. When you open a file in another app and edit it, the changes are not saved to the original file. When viewing PDF documents, there is no option to search for text. There is no ability to copy files from my iPad back to my drop box. In iTunes when my computer is connected to my iPad, you can only copy files to the root directory on the iPad. You can't copy an entire folder to the iPad in iTunes. You cannot copy files from the iPad to your computer in iTunes. From iTunes, you cannot see what files are on the iPad, you can only see the root level. I doubt the pro version has any of these features either..Version: 1.2
✓ Only partial visibility of filesAfter downloading a file on iPad, the app doesn’t show it. It wants to connect up to Dropbox etc, but visibility of local files is incomplete. So, now the faff of trying something else..Version: 2.8
✓ OkUnable to swipe across on bottom tool bar to delete files on iPhone 10 as it swipes between aps instead.Version: 2.8
✓ HomerDownloaded this app. Tried to open and connect to my Dropbox but a error message kept coming up saying could not connect . So I deleted the app..Version: 2.1
✓ Terrible, clunky and a waste of timeThis file manager is awful. All I wanted to do was simply download a map for MCPE. Two HOURS later I'm still scratching my head wondering how the hell I do this and why I even downloaded it even after watching a Video of how to do so and reading the guide. Suddenly my iPad crashes. Well that's Two and half hours of my life wasted. Having deleted this app I have found a much more simple and reliable File manager. Thanks for nothing you freaking failures at life.Version: 2.1
✓ Bad interfaceMenus hidden or hard to use / find, not intuitive and screens overlay with menu items behind the front screen. Maybe incompatible with later iPhones !?.Version: 2.8
✓ Utterly Useless.Can’t see file structure at all. Miss my BlackBerry every day that passes..Version: 2.8
✓ No support local network or iCloud.No support local network or iCloud..Version: 2.8
✓ DrivesI like it for most everything file manager and that but what I don’t like is It shows the Dropbox but I can’t connect to my Google drive and I wanted to Delete files from my Dropbox and it was just send them someplace it won’t let me do it. At least I can’t find instructions on how to do it.Version: 2.8
✓ Not sureSeems appropriate, although I have not yet had the opportunity to try all options. I don’t seem to be able to access files already on my phone, as Apple allocates them, which was my main intent on trying this app., so there’s one star gone. ❌ Another star deduction for colour scheme; the links, ‘home’ for example, are white against a pale grey, making them hard to see. No option in Settings to change either link colours, background, or both. ❌ (bad colour scheme and no option to change colours could almost be two star losses, but a simple colour change option would fix both points raised. Another star deduction for the unknowns, as based upon the first two points noted I don’t hold out much hope. ❌ The points noted are sure to be readily fixed, so I shall decide whether or not to keep the app depending on if these issues are addressed. ✅ As mentioned at the start of the review the app does look promising, but it hadn’t crossed the finish line yet for myself. Others may find the app entirely suited for their needs..Version: 2.8
✓ Waste of spaceLooking for something to delete orphaned audiobooks. This ain't it..Version: 2.1
✓ POOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO COPY TO FLASH DRIVEI have found the file application useless, as most Apple products. There is not enough thought on the user end, the message can’t be conveyed to the user in detail. Instructions should be written by the end user, not by a programmer. They just don’t get it!.Version: 2.8
✓ Don't botherThis one is not good, move on and don't waste ur time..Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn’t seem to do what it claimsI dowloaded the app to edit file names to help organise some images. Filename editing is a basic fundamental function of such a programme. I couldn’t find this facility. I’ve deleted the app..Version: 2.8
✓ Doesn't let you browse iPad file systemUseless, doesn't even let you browse the filesystem.Version: 2.1
✓ Ugh Freezing My iPhone 6As soon as I installed this, my iPhone six lagged and froze, went through my apps one by one to determine the culprit. Removing this app stopped my issues. iPhone 6 unlocked on iOS 9.3 beta.Version: 2.1
✓ TbcIt's a work in progress. One thing it can't do is delete the items and folders you create within app. Hence deleted..Version: 1.1
✓ GarbageDon’t download this. It, nor does the paid version, does anything special at all. You will be enticed to buy it. If you’re looking for a file that stores in God knows where, the settings will not save you. $5 for this. Cheap but worthless..Version: 2.8
✓ Use its own directory completely detached from the defaultI can’t attach any document from what this app has shown nor does this app show any file from the iOS’s ‘On My iPad’ local folders.Version: 2.8
✓ Nothing visibleI plugged in an external drive and nothing appears, what use is that..Version: 2.8
✓ Couldn’t find the delete file button.Sorry but I needed this sort of ap to be able to delete files that are filling up my iCloud. The photo ap for some reason doesn’t show the file names. When I found the files and saw the names of the files that I wanted to delete but then couldn’t find the trash can icon, you lost me as a user..Version: 2.8
✓ Worst app ever, this comes out topI have 2.5 Gig of music, other files movies etc and this app shows no files on the phone, dont waste you time downloading as your first action will be to delete it, same time. this should show -1 star as its that bad, I suspect that any good reviews are from the author..Version: 2.1
✓ Music filesThis app used to play multiple music files. Now it will only play a music file if it is a single in a folder. If there are more than one it won’t play. Too bad as I really enjoyed making play lists..Version: 2.8
✓ Doesn’t show any local files.Just one file in local. Cant see any other files..Version: 2.8
✓ Totally useless and not workingTried on iPad Pro 2020. Could see any files, nor my plugged in USB-C flash..Version: 2.8
✓ UselessI have lots of pictures on my iPad, all I wanted to do is just delete one. Nope, can't do it. Could not find any way at all to delete a picture out of my albums. USELESS APP..Version: 2.1
✓ PointlessNot worth downloading nothing like Windows Explorer, at least that was the free version, so will not bother paying for an app where I cannot see what it can do or even what its purpose is in the free version. Will remove immediately..Version: 2.8
✓ Hi BrokenThe Ui is very much broken for the XS phones. Needs to be updated..Version: 2.8
✓ Very DisappointingThis app is nothing like Windows Explorer, there is no setup options, does not support Google Docs, unable to connect to local folders, Total waste of money, it appears a much cheaper File Manager Pro provides file management facilities I would expect in this appOne of the worst apps I have tried..Version: 1.1
✓ Steve ELooks to perform most functions as advertised. Very easy to use. However, it has not been updated for the new iPhone 11 screen landscape. When that happens, I will most certainly upgrade to Pro..Version: 2.8
✓ Chocolate TeapotDoes WHAT?.Version: 2.8
✓ All files do not appearI can’t find files in iTunes library or in the music file where I have 1200 songs. Seems to only want to work with stuff to be downloaded from pay sites. I want to see files I have transferred to the iPad myself. Can’t find a one of them..Version: 2.8
