Ratings and reviews

Instantly wanted to purchase but waited to test more. Be sure to try the trial. This developer makes some great apps. Always room for improvement but it's definitely on par with the best. I'm coming from ES Pro, so I'm missing some of my old features, but this brings things to the table I didn't have before. I really miss my swiping between windows the most (the current isn't as fluid/natural)...

This is the best file exploring app I've ever used. I would ask for one future feature update: it would be great to be able to do a bulk photo upload to Google Photos. I use my phone for work, from time to time, and I don't want Google Photos to upload everything. So I manually upload what I want. Their backup interface is not so awesome, the one from FX File Explorer is way better. Thanks for all the hard work, great app!!!

Unable to transfer to external network storage. Support is basically non-existent --so you're on your own! Samsung Galaxy Note 8 & 9. I took my time writing to ask if there was a way to circumvent this problem and I never heard back from them... Probably never will. I can do this with all other operating systems. The circle spins "Can read from sources" I love the app. I actually preferred it to the Android because it's more intuitive. However, not responding to your customers is not acceptable
