## Review summary

Users widely praise FileBrowser as a capable, reliable way to access local/cloud/network storage and perform file operations across devices, with strong cross-platform connectivity and responsive support. However, the reviews consistently flag licensing/product confusion, limited media playback and previews for several formats, UI/UX changes that hurt usability, and post-update regressions that break file access. In short, solid core functionality but significant friction around licensing, media support, and updates.

### Pros

- Consolidates access to local, cloud, NAS, and network storage in one app, making it easy to work across devices.
- Reliable file manipulation with clear paths and easy move/copy/view.
- Strong SMB/network share support and overall reliability compared to iOS Files in some scenarios.
- Responsive customer support.
- Many users regard it as one of the best file browsing apps on iOS for cross-device file management.

### Cons

- Not a true replacement for the iOS Files app; it's client-only and the multi-product licensing (Mac app, Pro bundles) is confusing.
- Limited built-in media playback and previews; several codecs/formats (AV1, H.265, MKV) have poor support or require external apps.
- UI/UX changes degrade usability (removing features, rounded corners, a dated/bloated feel).
- Bugs or regressions after iOS updates (e.g., cannot see or add files, formatting issues).
