Review summary

FE File Explorer Pro is a powerful tool for cross-platform file access, with a strong built-in media player, deep NAS/SMB/SFTP support, and seamless iOS Files integration that many users rely on for years. It also offers broad transfer capabilities and workable accessibility. Common downsides cited across multiple reviews include reliability issues after updates (video playback failures, crashes, and server disconnects), limited access to local iPhone storage (On My iPhone), frequent NAS/network timeouts, and UI changes that hide or relocate familiar commands (including server options and CarPlay/Watch controls). Overall still capable, but update-related stability and local-file access remain frequent concerns.

Pros

Built-in media player for NAS/remote media, reducing the need for separate apps.
Excellent integration with the iOS Files app and acts as a storage target for easy file moves.
Strong cross-platform access with SMB/NAS/SFTP for flexible remote file management.
Longstanding, reliable tool that many users rely on for years.
Good accessibility support (VoiceOver works well for visually impaired users).

Cons

Post-update instability: MPEG video playback breaks, app crashes, and connectivity to servers can fail.
Inability to access local iPhone storage (On My iPhone) and reliance on the Files app for access.
Frequent NAS/server connection timeouts and need to recreate profiles or re-connect.
UI/UX regressions after updates: moved video progress bar and hard-to-find server commands, plus CarPlay/Apple Watch controls broken.
Perceived bloated/slow/clunky interface.
