## Review summary

Users praise FtpCafe FTP Client Pro for its intuitive UI, reliable performance, useful features, ongoing updates, and affordability. However, multiple users have experienced crashes after recent updates, slow transfer speeds, lack of update changelogs, inability to move files on the server, and connection issues with certain FTP protocols. Overall, it remains a favored FTP Android app, but improvements are needed in stability and protocol support.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and navigate servers due to nice user interface.
- Intuitive and fast performance with useful features like setting local and remote directories and refresh.
- Reliable app with ongoing developer support and updates, making it one of the best Android FTP clients.
- Affordable pro version that delivers on its promises.
- Works well in many common FTP scenarios and useful for everyday FTP transfer tasks.

### Cons

- Crashes or doesn't open after latest updates reported by multiple users.
- Lack of changelog or update notes makes users hesitant to update.
- Slow transfer rates and app gets killed in the background due to no notification system, affecting large file uploads.
- No support to move files directly on the server, limiting management capabilities.
- Fails to connect to plain FTP or FTPS (FTPES) in some cases, unlike other FTP clients like FileZilla.
