Review summary

Total Commander is a long-standing, feature-rich Android file manager praised for reliability, breadth of features (dual-pane layout, root access, ZIP/7ZIP, FTP, bookmarks, shortcuts), speed, and customization. It also offers a built-in media player and Termux compatibility. Repeated concerns focus on occasional copy/move issues and a sometimes daunting, dense UI that may deter new users or hinder everyday operations.

Pros

Very reliable and time-tested file manager that never disappoints and delivers on its promises.
Powerful, versatile feature set including dual-pane navigation, root access, ZIP/7ZIP extraction, FTP client, bookmarks, and customizable shortcuts/buttons.
Fast and efficient for large transfers, with metadata preservation.
Highly customizable with shortcuts, custom icons, and a configurable bottom bar.
Multi-use functionality beyond file management, including a built-in music player with EQ and playlists and good Termux integration.

Cons

Copy/move operations can fail or block the UI, as reported by multiple users.
The interface is old-school and can feel daunting or not very comfortable for day-to-day file operations.

2026-07-27	G *****	It's pretty good, an average user could handle it & it's got features for advanced users as well. Whether you're needing an app for organizing your device, getting into developing, application security, just beginning to explore the world of both. Then I feel I could recommend this application and would be an excellent first file manager app. However if you're not really sure about this app, I recommend just researching top file managers compatible with your device.
