★★★★☆ Duane Craps · Jul 30, 2023

I use. It to view old octal computer files. It works well for that wish that when you view data as octal it would list addresses in octal as well

One of major function isn't functioning (copy), please fix it. Nvm, it just doesn't have notification message if copy has exceeded the limitation.

★☆☆☆☆ Victor Enyeribe · Apr 14, 2026

How is it that for 3 years now the developers of this excellent app have not seen that this app which was the best HEX editor app for years does not read the memory properly when a bin file is shared to it from a file manager. It doesn't see any the memory card address and neither does it see the phone memory when a bin file is opened via a file manager through it. It only opens anything only when that file is opened directly from the app....this carelessness deserves zero stars
