Ratings and reviews

It works. At the very least, I can read what's on an NTFS/FAT disk without having to format it, and there's no proprietary nonsense, so all USB disks or SD cards can now be accessed, regardless of who manufactured it. No adverts, either subtle or otherwise. It seems to work better than other file reader/writers in its class from what I've seen so far. So, it's worth the money I paid.

Does exactly what it says (and not much else) for a very reasonable price. I needed this app so I could have a way to view the videos on the SD card from my car's dash cam. The camera requires the FAT32 file system but my phone doesn't natively support that file system. This app let's me browse and open the videos. Other apps cost more for the same functionality.

Bettet than paragon + total commander solution for phone & external drive visual wise // Needs to remember folder navigation location (e.g subfolder has many folders, opening one folder and going back to parentfolder resets navigation to beginning) // Background operation functionality for copying moving files, while still navigating external drive is a must for managing files with phone. // No cross-device functionality (to copy from phone to drive)!! // No eject functionality

What's new

v6.3.1, v21.6.3.1
