User Reviews

The app can enable Android NTFS access and make drives detectable in file managers, but user sentiment is split due to reliability and licensing concerns. Major recurring issues include instability and drive detection failures, hardware compatibility with USB hubs and OTG cables, update-induced regressions on certain devices, confusing monetization with ads and recurring charges, and UI/sign-in friction. For some users it works smoothly and is useful; for many, it fails or costs more than expected. Overall, usefulness varies by device and scenario.

Pros

Provides NTFS and exFAT support on Android, enabling reading and writing USB drives.
Drives show up in Android file managers (native Files app, X-Plore) and are accessible.
Works on some devices and hardware setups, including NTFS NVMe drives via USB adapters with OTG.
Per some reviews, the app is useful and can work smoothly when it functions as intended.

Cons

Unreliable or unstable: frequent crashes, endless loading, or drives not being detected.
Billing and licensing issues: free tier misrepresented, recurring charges, ads in paid version, and lack of a clear trial.
Hardware compatibility and connectivity problems: issues with USB hubs/OTG adapters, required powered OTG cables, and drives failing to connect.
Update regressions: recent updates break compatibility on some devices (e.g., Xiaomi) and cause drives to stop being detected.
UI/UX and sign-in issues: confusing visuals, unclear selections, and sign-in requirements that hinder usage.

Recent reviews

My SD card is detected correctly in the app, but when I tap Mount, the app asks me to Sign in with Google for the 2-day trial. After tapping Sign in with Google, it keeps loading and never proceeds. The SD card is never mounted. I have already tried: Restarting my phone Reinstalling the app Checking my internet connection But the issue still persists. Please help me resolve this issue. If you need any additional information, I will be happy to provide it.
