Ratings and reviews

The app is actually really good. It's the "Safe Folder"that's complete 💩!! It will let you add your photos and videos with no problem. It's when you want to just access the folder to view or move an item that's the problem. Cause after I put my pattern code, All the damn thing does is buffering, straight for 45 minutes so far. And every single time I have tried to open the Secure folder!! Won't open to allow me to retrieve my items!! I knew I should've have trusted anything with Google

I had ATT service many years ago, but for whatever reason I switched to straight talk. They're also a great service but when the salesman told us about the ATT deals it seemed like a good time to move back. I gotta say, I'm extremely impressed! The high quality phones, the tutorials that help you maintain your phone, and even cloud storage and virus protection.... WOW!

Horrible File Manager. It's not that it doesn't do things; it's that it does most of them really badly. Playing video, sure that's an ok experience. Music? You gotta set battery optimization to unrestricted for it to let you pause and resume. To pause and resume! It really should let Google Photos be the photo viewer, because it's really bad at viewing photos. It reads PDFs reasonablely well, but no editing. It's not really that good if all you need is a file manager. Also, Google Telemetry.
