Ratings and reviews

For a while it was my favorite, but recently, the app seems to have gotten worse, my phone is on Android 14 and it won't let me access the data folder, the canceling or extracting operation is also very broken, it takes a long time, and sometimes there are extraction errors, as well as copying and pasting, for no reason at all, solve this, the app was already good, the update made it slower and buggy !!

First of all, and most importantly: don't put too many features as "pro". Second: the text editor should have syntax highlighting, at least, for the most common coding languages. Third: it should have native audio and video player, just like it has an image viewer, and all these media features should be able to open media files, even when they have no extension. This would be very helpful when downloading format-less media.

Every time I move files such as MP3s, images, and videos into my SD card using my system file manager app, they always get corrupted, causing me to lose all of my data. However, when I use this app to move files from my storage to my SD card, they don't get corrupted at all. I love this app because of this and highly recommend using it to move files into your SD card to prevent them from getting corrupted.
