## Review summary

The app is a powerful, long-standing FTP tool with a built-in editor and strong security protocol support, praised for reliability and feature depth. However, stability issues, confusing and costly Pro upgrades, and inconsistent maintenance across iOS versions are the most common complaints, with several reports of crashes, feature outages, and limited support.

### Pros

- Powerful, feature-rich FTP toolkit with robust remote file editing and transfer capabilities.
- Built-in text editor enables quick on-device edits to remote files without needing a local copy.
- Supports secure protocols (FTPS/SFTP) and generally reliable connections.
- Longstanding, trusted app with ongoing improvements and device compatibility updates (e.g., iPhone X support).
- Highly regarded for reliability and efficiency, often preferred over alternatives like Textastic.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially during edits or at launch.
- Pro upgrade pricing and licensing confusion, including additional costs and unclear upgrade flow.
- Maintenance and compatibility gaps: slow updates and breakage on newer iOS/iPadOS versions.
- Specific feature outages (e.g., Dropbox integration, camera-roll uploads, or editing in certain updates) and other reliability issues.
- Some users report slow or unresponsive support and unclear licensing information.
