5/5A decade of use
To someone with limited resources, this app can be an absolute lifesaver. In school, I've used some version of this app for collecting material for offline use; homework, old tests, mock tests, syllabuses, study packets, diagrams, references, lectures, PERFORMANCE VIDEOS. I've saved music for personalized ringtones, I bought a copy for my mom to keep her knitting patterns, work applications, my New Hire forms were saved here, various event tickets, this app holds it all. Ive had bugs, some minor, some requiring me to extract my files through my computer, but even having that last option available is amazing, instead of having to lose everything when reinstalling the app. Bug fixes can be thin on the ground, and its apparent that not all iOS updates will agree with the app, but it always comes back into working order, and seriously. Its a worthwhile investment. Ive had this app since high school. That was a decade ago. Bought the first one. Bought the second version when its predecessor became obsolete. Would probably buy the next one, cuz its so friggin useful.

5/5Literally the best off-line file manager out better than off-line browser docs from Firefox
This right here is the one out of all the off-line file managers this one boasts the most best features it is very easy to have multiple windows open and multiple downloads running and you can open the files using open or share after downloaded without actually downloading them on my phone Location or iCloud Drive location so if you have multiple websites you like to download stuff from this is the number one app and only app you will need good keep up the good development

4/5Glad for the update but issues still exist
Hian, I’ve been using this app for years and was beyond delighted to see an update for this today. The update fixes the crash issue that was introduced with iOS 13. I am now able to save webpages again which was one of my primary uses. It seems now however that you took out the ability to set mime types. This was instrumental in the functionality so now the download option for a lot of file types is now broken and thus unable to be saved. I’m not sure what would have led you to this decision, but I implore you to add it back. If this were implemented again your app could easily be the best download manager on the App Store. My last suggestion would be to add an alphabetical scroll option to the files view. Thank you again for your work, I look forward to future improvements.

4/5Great App
I use this app for all my music because a lot of it can’t be downloaded through ITunes, instead I use mp3 files with this app. An interesting thing happens every now and again though. I’ll be listening to an audio file and then I’ll use my screen reader function to read a webpage to me like a pseudo audio book and usually this will stop the audio file from playing so I can’t listen to music and a reading at the same time normally, sometimes though it won’t stop the audio file, it will just lower its volume some so I can listen to both at once. I don’t believe my phone is supposed to be able to do this and it’s an error, I would love if they added options in the settings that could make this happen on purpose.

5/5Minor Music Glitches
Music is Very glitchy, when I hit skip it skips 3-5 songs and the same way when I replay but this only happens when lock screen is activated, also the now playing disappears when I open a folder! Would appreciate if you can work on fixing those I use this all the time and I love this app it’s a great app! Besides that I love the layout! And the dark theme but that’s all I’m having problems with is with music so please if you can fix that! I mainly use that and I would greatly appreciate that! Thank you!
