    EDIT: REPLACES FOLDERS INSTEAD OF MERGING THEM DO NOT USE I have been occasionally moving folders from internal storage to SD card, when it gives an option to replace the folder or keep both, when they are named the same, I just hit keep both, thinking it would rename the new one. Well it has just been replacing them the whole time. I just noticed. 2016 review: Everything is great so far, simple and lighter than ES. With it gave notifications when removable media is mounted.

    After the 24th July update the app does not open without internet connection. It's frustrating as I can't use the app to without internet connection. This app was easy to use in offline mode without internet connection but now I need internet to open the app so that it loads ads. The app shuts down without internet connection and redirected to Play Store.

    Just uninstalled after 4~ years of use across 3 phones. I opened the app for the first time in months today. I rarely use it, but always kept it around for those rare instances. Today I opened the app and was hit with an ad. Then I was met with a banner ad and had to scroll past it to get to my files and folders. I then selected 2 files I wanted to delete, hit the trashcan button, and got another full add. When the ad finished, THEN I could delete the files. What the ****

    Stuck in an ad that was stuck in a loop: the "fast forward" button was unresponsive, so I decided to wait it out put the kettle on. Must have been in an exceptionally patient mood as the ad's inane jingle was soul-destroying... And it never ended. I left it at least 5 minutes while the kettle boiled, and still couldn't fast forward so as to get out of the ad. Thus I have no opinion on the app itself as I never got to experience it. Dev, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

    This was my fav file browser for years, but the new ad scheme is too much, I tried to copy one file, only 5 clicks but got 4 unskippable ads, and two that automaticaly opened in my browser without me actualy clicking the ad, which is against Google's advertising rules for apps (disruptive advertising), I filed a report. It made the process take several times longer. From seconds to over 2 minutes.
  6. ★★★★☆ Pau Fexas · 26 Jan 2023 · v1.19.0(406)
    Good, av real contender against Solid Explorer. Could use a proper tablet/landscape view with two windows but unfortunately out doesn't. Good thing is that that's it's greatest shortcoming. To many ads in the free version but the full version isn't too expensive and thankfully gives you the option of a one time purchase.
  7. ★☆☆☆☆ Matthew Lim · 10 Dec 2020 · v1.2.3
    After 6 years with this app, I have to change from 5 stars to 1 star rating. I paid to remove ads, not once but twice. When I changed phone again it spammed me with ads again. Open folder? Ads. Back to previous folder? Ads. Enough is enough. Not paying again for this. EDIT: I contacted the customer service about this. No reply for over a couple of months.

  8. ★★★★☆ Nox Corporatus · 31 Oct 2020 · v1.15.3.RC-GP(388)
    Ads have dropped off to just banners, which is certainly preferable, even if it means I have to scroll down a bit to get between favourited folders and e.g. downloads because of the ad in between them. I wish the "get info" about a folder would also show the number of files in that folder (and its subfolders) instead of just the size, but I guess one can't have everything. Best file manager I've found.
  9. ★★☆☆☆ Arif M · 28 Oct 2020 · v1.15.3.RC-GP(388)
    I had great hopes from this file manager as I was looking for something like ES file explorer pro and even did subscription. But the file manager crashes randomly and u need to totally uninstall and reinstall and this is a recurring issue. Two stars given ES is way older and still the job far better.
  10. ★☆☆☆☆ David Freeman · 24 Jul 2020
    As soon as I opened the app for the first time, there's a 30 second full screen advert for a Golf Game; meant I didn't even have a chance to try it. You must be joking, this is completely unreasonable. I will uninstall & use one of the hundred or so other file managers available instead
