User Reviews

Users repeatedly praise the app’s simple, clean and lightweight design and dependable basic file-management features. Major complaints center on recent intrusive ads/notification spam, a lack of more advanced features (search, SD write support, dark mode, flexible multi-select), and several UI/UX annoyances and update/maintenance concerns.
Pros
  • Very simple, clean and minimal user interface — many users call it easy to use.
  • Lightweight and functional for basic file-management tasks (move, copy, rename, share, delete).
  • Historically ad-free/no pro/premium nags — praised for not being bloated or intrusive.
  • Reliable for everyday file browsing; users appreciate its straightforward, uncluttered design.
Cons
  • Recent intrusive ads/notifications and pop-up promotions introduced in updates — several users report spammy notifications and uninstalling.
  • Limited feature set for power users: missing search, weak external SD card write support/permissions, no dark mode, and no multi-selection of non-sequential items.
  • UI/UX roughness and minor bugs: long-press/context menu sometimes fails, ambiguous controls (e.g., + button), difficulty unhiding files, and scrolling/select behavior issues.
  • App maintenance concerns: reports of no updates in a long time and unexpected silent updates that change behavior (ads).
