Review summary

Users appreciate DNAApp for its usefulness in biomedical research and education, making sequencing easier and supporting work mobility. However, many struggle with user-friendliness, difficulties opening .ab1 files directly, and reliance on ES File Explorer, which complicates file access. Errors related to file opening and potential need for device rooting further reduce usability. Despite these setbacks, the developer's efforts and the app's benefits in facilitating research and learning are well recognized.

Pros

The app is very useful for bio-medical researchers and students.
Facilitates work from home and makes lab life more convenient.
Provides mobility and ease of use for DNA sequence analysis.
Has educational value for learning sequencing.
The developer has made a great effort improving user experience.

Cons

Difficulty in using the app; it is not user-friendly.
Issues opening .ab1 files directly without using ES File Explorer.
Dependency on ES File Explorer which is not available on Google Play anymore.
App throws errors like 'ENOENT no such file' when opening files from local storage or Dropbox.
Some users believe the phone may need to be rooted for the app to work properly, which is undesirable.

Since ES file explorer is currently not available in Google play, so, please update your app so that file is accessible by any software. Thank you.
