File Manager - Network Explorer for Negative User Reviews

✓ CrapThe free version worked great, although the adverts were a little annoying, popping up every 5 seconds. As soon as i paid for the upgrade, everytime i try to open any file it crases. I deleted and reinstalled, thus losing ALL my files 😡 Still crashing. Either fix the problem or give me my money back..ETBTFVersion: 5.1.33

✓ Garbage SoftwareWhy in hell did these lame punk kids that developed what was a good file manager ruin it by removing SMB ? Kids screw with their toys till they break them. The new version SUKS. And they never respond. Avoid this piece of garbage..OverdubnVersion: 5.1.13

✓ No support!On the face of it, it's a nice app. BUT, I can't work out how to create folders or copy files between iPad and a network storage device. Emailed with no response, website is owned by godaddy so no help there. Would be 4 or 5 stars but I paid to unlock the app and it still doesn't work. Provide some instructions please!!.Colin, stevenageVersion: 5.1.33

✓ Can’t connect to a basic SMB shareGave it the IP address and the login credentials (which haven’t changed in 10 years) and it can’t find the server..MileHighBearVersion: 5.1.61

✓ LiesIt doesn't support all Audio Codecs as it says it does. Doesn't support AC3 audio codec..BbhoganVersion: 5.1.33

✓ Clunky UI and not particularly intuitiveThis type of app is usually the type of utilitarian app that you want to get in and out of quickly to perform a simple task. I found the UI to be clunky and unattractive, which isn’t a particularly big deal as it’s not an app I’d spend much time in, but simple tasks are not as simple as they should be. The banner ads are terribly annoying and the ‘pro’ pricing is quite high for such a simple and common app. Deleted and moving on as there seems to no end to the file transfer apps out there..An Everyday JoeVersion: 5.1.61

✓ Wouldn’t connect to SMB serverWouldn’t connect to my Linux based NAS SMB share. Chromebook does. Seems promising but doesn’t work for me..JlanawaltVersion: 5.1.61

✓ OkThere is no mp3 or video player support like es file manage.GilliangilianVersion: 5.1.61

✓ AmazingThe update isn't working. App crashes everytime you try to play a song..LickMyJsVersion: 5.1.45

✓ Lacks true preview while browsing of filesMust download to actually view a photo. Thus not helpful.Boston123954Version: 4.2.24

✓ Meh, it's okI needed an app for FTP transfer. File Manager frequently hung up, crashed, and threw errors. Transmit is a million times better. Can I get my $$ back?.Luv2draw2222Version: 5.1.41

✓ SMB doesn’t work anymoreI can literally copy paste the server settings into the stock iOS files app and it connects to my smb server but it doesn’t work with this app.SsddfggfVersion: 5.1.61

✓ HORRIBLEGreat ad app and for notifying you to spend money to upgrade. Otherwise it doesn't do anything, bad UI, no support or help. I will never get those 20 minutes of my life I wasted downloading and attempting to use this app to see ads and upgrade request. Even if they removed ads and it's completely free I wouldn't waste my time with this app. Suggestions to company/developers don't hire your developers that either has no ability to program or former crooks that created Ponzi schemes as your products developed are junk or scams to swindle money from users..Tired of worthless appsVersion: 5.1.33

✓ No support for XLSX?Doesn’t seem to support opening XLSX files, but does open/preview DOCX? A bit irritating for what is otherwise a great app : (.Gavin19234Version: 5.1.61

✓ JunkNOT GOOD! This app is not worth the download time. If I could rated it as a -5 I would. The browser is a web browser and it works the rest of the stuff I cannot say the same. There are no help files Or anything else to get you going. I am truly sorry that I downloaded it and put myself through the problems of trying to use it..MSanders119Version: 5.1.33

✓ Will not read network drive files!This app is a joke… Will see files on external drive but will not read them. Kind of useless! NO support from developer, in fact the contact email is no longer working. Save your money and do your homework like I should have..FgigiggVersion: 5.1.61

✓ Major feature still brokenThis app used to be top notch. However, for the past couples of updates, SMB support is broken. So in a business setting with many Windows servers, or at home with your own SAN / NAS, you are out of luck. This app, -as it stands now- is totally useless. This app could have earned 5 stars, for its support of numerous files types, many more than other remote file browsers and also for its ease of use. This app is still worth of considerations if your files can be retrieved using other supported methods (FTP, etc...). For that reason, I gave a 2-star rating instead of one..Jacques-PVersion: 5.1.28

✓ Move onUser experience is terrible. Browsing local storage works fine, but network functionality is awful..JerMe404Version: 5.1.41

✓ Fails to complete cifs/smb transfersAlways fails to complete cifs/smb transfers.......Verwoody2020Version: 5.1.61

✓ Ftp transfer not working.It's hard to use to start with, (unintuitive), & ftp is impossible to use as port is blocked,whatever browser you use will reject it. great program if you like looking at blank empty screens though. to sum up... "meh"..DemotricusVersion: 5.1.33

✓ WorthlessUtterly worthless..ScrabL65656565656565656565656Version: 5.1.41

✓ Great for most part, SMB not work, app slow to openDoes what it says on the tin, very useful. But slow to open up in first use but not a big problem. SMB/Samba not working although apparently supported.Rick_sVersion: 5.1.41

✓ Glad I didn't pay the $7I was going to upgrade, but I'm glad I didn't. The app won't play any of my video files from the network drive. My computer does, but the app doesn't. Try to visit the support site and it doesn't exist anymore. Deserves less than 1 star..TheRyanSvenVersion: 5.1.41

✓ Doesn’t workCan browse CIFS shares but trying to download anything fails every time. Useless..DJ84584Version: 5.1.61

✓ Can't reset passwordHow do we contact app developers to reset password? App developers don't respond. Horrible customers service (no customer service) and it locked up on me AFTER I made the decision to upgrade.QpmzghbvgtyhVersion: 5.1.33

✓ Worthless to me nowThe SMB functionality was the only feature of the app I used. The latest update removed SMB rendering the app pointless to me. The developer(s) still haven't replied..Linux203Version: 5.1.13

✓ SMB option missingAfter this recent update, there is no longer an SMB option in the Network Services menu..SMBuserVersion: 5.1.13

✓ Cannot copy files on SMB sharesIt just throws up an error image with no explanation at all. It also forgets the server settings anytime you browse elsewhere (or quit the app)..Wade TregaskisVersion: 4.3.6

✓ Nope doesn't work1. Doesn't see my DNLA enabled 2015 Samsung TV - other apps do. 2. Cloud? Doesn't have option to login to iCloud - again others do. 3. Sees my iTunes library, but wants to download, then won't play from writhing app. Waste of £2.99.Clive SinclairVersion: 5.1.26

✓ Suddenly not workingI have been using this app to steam files directly from my seedbox, this way I don’t need to download them to my device. In the last week or so I am unable to do this and am constantly met with an error message. What has changed?.Alan GalaxyVersion: 5.1.61
