Review summary

Fennec File Manager is praised for its rich features, customization, and cloud integration, backed by responsive developer support. Users appreciate its media file handling and encryption capabilities. However, multiple reviews mention stability issues including app needing restarts, multitabs failing on Android 14, and navigation becoming unresponsive. Root access is limited to read-only, and some file types (such as epub) fail to open. Overall, the app is highly liked but could improve stability and root access features.

Pros

Feature-rich with extensive customization options including themes and background customization
Supports multiple cloud services like Google Drive and Yandex Cloud enabling unified file management
Responsive developer support and timely updates incorporating user feedback
Good media file handling, showing play length and bitrate, plus encryption capabilities
User-friendly interface with clear file information and dark mode support

Cons

Stability issues such as app not working on first launch requiring restart
Problems with multitabs functionality after latest update on Android 14 devices
Navigation window becoming unresponsive after some usage time
Limited root access, only read permissions in rooted sections
Issues opening certain file types like epub despite having respective readers installed
