I first used this app (on a different account) several years ago. I bought the option for cloud backing, which also meant that I was able to edit items on different devices. Unfortunately, that purchase no longer means the same thing (according to my phone, at least), so I lost editing access to several things I've spent years on. Other than that, it's a straight-forward, easy to use app

Several features I downloaded this app for because of the blurb are paid upgrade features. Plus, I could not get the app to upload to my google drive -- it showed the account being active in the app but no files saved on my phone uploaded properly. After looking further, I think cloud backup is a paid feature. I'm frustrated by so many of the advertised features being actual paid features. Don't advertise it as free if you have to buy the upgrade for most of the features.

It used to be really really good, but it just updated... It's so bad I had to transfer my files to a new app and uninstall. Horrible lag, confusing and overcomplicated interface, yet loss of certain features (or at least hiding them so I couldn't figure out where they went, such as the "Find..." option). It's hard to even select things now! I always thought that was handled by the OS but apparently not since I don't have these issues in other apps. This is really sad because I used it for ages
