★★★★★ martin simbona · Apr 16, 2021

I love this app 100%. Thanks Alif, this is a wonderful product! You are such a great developer.

★★★★★ Stephen Regan · Jun 14, 2026

This is such a clean easy experience but still lets me and lets me easily SEE the dark proinfo and such at least linked to my VRAM wiped issue on mediatek 8300 ... Really love this only thing saw so far it could use some tuning and maybe a more recognized name for your sake and spreading the word! Can we get an android-16 Update - LASTLY.... least a basic little popup for playing certain files like sounds and such versus having to leave the app, with these features & a purchase button = #1?

I am bored. This is almost better than playing their lousy games. I must say I haven't been banned yet. I AM SURE THEY VALUE MY OPINION. SO HERE IT IS GOOGLE SUCKS YES THEY DO

Trust & Safety: The app requests storage access (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), network access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE), foreground service, notifications, and app installation permissions, plus a billing flag. The inclusion of MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE indicates broad access to device storage, which is typical for a file manager but warrants review of privacy scope. A dynamic receiver permission suggests internal broadcast handling. Overall, permissions align with standard file-management needs, but users should assess storage access implications.
