Ratings and reviews

I'm giving one star just based on the fact that, whatever the reasons, this app refuses to show me my ". FLAC" folder. I go to add another folder with the same name and it says it already exists; BUT THE APP DOESN'T SHOW IT. Please, fix it. why are you hiding files and folders that aren't hidden?? because the period in the name?? makes no sense, Google

It is pretty good and simple! I've 2 wishlist that I hope you implement them in the future. 1. let user rearrange folders manually in the UI so that we can put more important folders to the top of the list. 2. The player itself is very simple and that's nice, but I like to have the option of frame by frame video scrubbing, like the one in Google photos. It would be nice too be able to default the action to open in Google photos player. Thank you!

I am having trouble deciding as to which apps to uninstall. Some apps I still want to keep, especially any photo apps and AAA's app, even though it's rare that I actually use them. Most of my smartphone space is taken up by junk mail and older e-mails that I haven't even read yet. I don't own a large home computer, just a smartphone and a tablet. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
