Ratings and reviews

Give back the Rotate button, so we can rotate our upside down or slanted photos, Google. Why does Photos app do everything but that one function? And receivers of the bad photo can't change it either. What is the point of this? Some kind of twisted pleasure in this, for you or somebody else? Great! So glad, we could help. Have a lovely day. Which you don't,need, because you did this. Then I wish it for the rest of us, to get over this, and the other indignities individuals or this government doe

It's SLOW AS MOLASSES. Otherwise, it does some of what es file explorer did, but not all, or maybe not as well. For instance, if you want to move an mp3 from the downloads section of your internal memory to your removable microSD card, it will only let you put it on the card, not specify where on the card (which folder, such as microSD>music) you would like to move it to The interface is very stylish and visually comfortable, though, as you would expect with an app released by Google.

This app really helps when it comes to keeping,organizing and cleaning the files in my phone. Videos, pics, apps, downloads and everything else while even offering recommendations for things that are just taking up space or multiples that add up over time and get shuffled in that easily are overlooked. Recommend if organization and space are important to u.
