★★★★★ Not None · Feb 16, 2024

Powerful tool! I am searching for something like this for android long time.

★★★★★ vorpal king · Jun 15, 2023

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.

★★★★☆ 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

★★★★★ Christopher lebico · Apr 10, 2024

Damn I thought you delete this app🥲 I really need this app it's so useful and easy to use, and thanks for fixing it

★☆☆☆☆ 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
