Review summary

Summary: Users consistently praise the app’s polished UI/UX and powerful file management with strong network/off-site storage support, plus good Wear OS/watch integration. The main complaints are the paid-only pricing with a short trial and usability drop after payment, plus reliability issues on wearables (crashes, video playback) and WiFi sharing across devices. Despite some platform limitations, many reviewers regard it as a leading, feature-rich file manager for power users.

Pros

Excellent UI/UX design with a visually appealing file explorer
Powerful, feature-rich file manager with strong network and off-site/storage access
Solid Wear OS / smartwatch support and integration
Overall reliable and versatile tool that many users consider their go-to file explorer

Cons

Pricing model is a major downside (paid-only with a short trial; usability drops after subscription)
Wear OS/watch app stability issues (crashes during operations; video playback/connectivity problems on some watches)
WiFi/file sharing can be unreliable or require workarounds across devices

2026-07-06	Mi*****	There are some fundamental features missing that everyone expects to be in any file browser. There is no Info/About to see the size, quality or name of the file you are viewing. There is an About in the 3 dots menu that only tells you about the app & much of the time, when you long press a file, the option to delete it is missing. Renaming your files? This app doesn't do that. This app costs $30 & it is missing basic, fundamental features that is found in every free file browser.

2026-07-01	Se*****	Hello, I found a compatibility issue involving AnExplorer. When AnExplorer is installed on Android TV, Disney+ crashes during startup. ADB logcat shows: java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to bind to service Intent { act=android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService pkg=dev.dworks.apps.anexplorer } Removing AnExplorer immediately resolves the problem. It may be related to the CustomTabsService implementation or manifest configuration. I hope this information helps.

2026-06-26	De*****	Customer support is awful. I downloaded this app on my Samsung phone and firestick. After purchasing the pro version on the firestick, I tried to restore the purchase on my phone. it does not give me an option to send from my aol account which is associated with my firestick. I've also sent three emails which have all been ignored. Received an email that was no help or resolution. Find something else.

2026-06-19	Ro*****	While connecting to pCloud this app doesn't ask for the pCloud login details (email + password) but only for the authentication code of the 2FA app. That's strange! Fortunately, after entering the authentication code I get the message 'authentication successful'. Unfortunately, the next screen shows 'unable to authenticate'. Many reviews point out that this app has many bugs. Hence, I will just install a file manager that works with pCloud, MEGA, and other cloud storage WITHOUT ERRORS.

2026-06-15	Pe*****	the worst possible app in the world, you basically cannot use it without premium, because it pretends to be working, but its always hides all your files that arent default in your watch, and makes files that were send from inner sharing option hidden from other explorers, basically only thing that this app can provide without payment its showing how your file system looks inside, thats all, dont download this if you dont want to waste your time
