## Review summary

Most reviewers praise Droid Commander as a capable, easy-to-use file manager with strong phone-to-PC transfer and a slick UI. The main drawbacks cited repeatedly are heavy advertising, occasional slow performance, and some file-operation issues (deleting files or accessing certain folders) affecting a subset of users. A couple of reviewers note privacy concerns related to ads/spyware and mention the app's large size. Overall, it delivers solid functionality for file management and transfer, especially for users who value a friendly interface, but ads and occasional glitches hamper the experience for some.

### Pros

- Reliable file management and generally solid performance.
- Excellent data transfer between phone and PC (and visibility of SD card folders).
- Sleek, intuitive UI with a friendly design and useful long-press options.
- Excellent value for money.

### Cons

- Ad-heavy experience with marketing tactics and privacy concerns.
- Slow performance and a dated-feeling UI.
- Some users report file operation issues (unable to delete files, and trouble accessing data/OBB folders).
