Ratings and reviews

Edit 2025-12-26: Remains solid after 5 years of steady use. Upping stars from 4 to 5. Good app. Very intuitive. Easy to use. Appears to be no help feature. Selecting multiple files is easy: select the first one. Then scroll down and long-tap the last one in the range you want. Developer answers email. Kudos! BTW: I'd pay a couple of bucks for a "premium" version. No one should be expected to work for free.

Much more straightforward than all other file managers I've tried - it lets me do the things I want to do without getting in the way. It even has features that don't tend to be available on "user friendly" platforms like phones - e.g. you can get checksums/hashes of files. The only thing that would make it better is more assurance that it's completely safe - since it has access to all the files we manipulate with it, I want independent assurance that it really only does what it says.

Great app! One issue, when I multi-select, then choose a function like "properties" etc, then back out, the selection is canceled. I want to keep the items selected for other operations. Also, can you add more compression levels/options, including "store only" and AES password encryption? And of course, a dark theme! Thanks!
