## Review summary

Users appreciate WindHex for its smooth editing, effective file comparison, and user-friendly interface. However, many face issues on Android 11+ due to file access restrictions and slow performance when opening large files because the app loads entire files into memory. Missing features like disabling auto rotation, improved copy-paste, and better file sorting impact usability. Overall, the app is loved for core functionality but needs updates for newer Android versions and performance improvements.

### Pros

- Smooth and easy to search, edit, and save files
- Effective file compare function
- Supports opening and editing large files (though slow)
- Simple and intuitive interface with essential features
- Lightweight without unnecessary bloat

### Cons

- Lack of support and functionality on Android 11 and above due to file permissions
- App loads entire large files into memory causing slow performance and potential crashes
- No option to disable auto rotation, which some users find annoying
- Limited paste and copy functionality, including inability to insert or append bytes
- File management and browsing inside the app is confusing or lacks desired sorting options
