Ratings and reviews

Where's the option to locate app folders? It's all hidden. Some apps like music production for example allow users to add audio files thru the app folder which is completely hidden unless we use third party software. My basic android device from 6 years ago would easily be able to drag and drop audio samples into the appropriate app folders. This feels quite limited even though it's a solid file manager

Absolutely incredible!! I was running dangerously low on storage on my android phone. I was trying to delete old photos/screenshots and cache. What I did wasn't very effective. I got rid of one GB at most. I discovered this app and it cleared 8 GBs! I thought I was losing a lot of photos and important files but no. I don't think I found anything missing. This is awesome.

Thiss app is pretty solid. The "files" apps I've had to deal with prior worked fine, but were all pretty boring. I like the look & the customization this one has much better. It also has more options/tools. Even then, it's still sleek, simple, & easy to use. I gave 4 stars because when I click "clean up", then click one of the subcategories to delete stuff & make space, I can't click the location so I can move/rename/edit the file. The ability to do that would be much appreciated.
