Comments on Helios File Manager for Android

★★★★★ SpacedOut · Nov 17, 2018

This is the best scam ever IN a good way of course! It was smart of you to make you need to use this to mod my colony. Why diddnt I think of that

★★★★★ money guy · Nov 4, 2018

The text edited and the file manager very useful.

★★★★★ Angelo “Gelo” Bautista · Oct 15, 2022

As with a lot of Ape Apps, Helios is simple, yet powerful.

★★★★☆ Kyle Brown · Aug 24, 2019

What you all are saying about my colony is wrong this thing is made by ape apps but my only problem is I can't sign in

★★★★★ James Arthur · Dec 10, 2018

Awesome. It integrated my tablet with my home network and NAS so quicky, I thought I must be doing something wrong. I wish the rest of my system worked this smoothly.

★★★★★ con fuoco · Feb 17, 2019

Adds network shares access to android, works well for transferring files to and from mobile to network devices and servers

★☆☆☆☆ Guido Boldini · Aug 31, 2021

Complete wast of time. Shows folders but does not show the files that are in them

★☆☆☆☆ Nirmarea · Feb 27, 2019

A competent file manager that does what most do, however I dislike being strong armed into using it by ape aps's my colony game, I see no reason whatsoever that it couldn't perform the same functionality as my inbuilt file manager, I appreciate developers need to get paid and software needs advertising but tactics like those are no better than bundled crapware on pc, worse in fact, you at least aren't forced to use crapware

★★☆☆☆ Akinmolayan Vincent · Nov 7, 2018

U guys force people to download this app through your game (my colony)... That's a bad thing to do.......why not make this app a better app instead and stop forcing downloads then see how your downloads will increase
