Comments on Root Explorer for Android

★★★★★ This app is amazing, the best file manager by far. It makes transferring files from the internal sd to root so simple, so fast. If you are reading this review trying to do decide should you buy this or not, I'd say go for it

★★★★★ Best Root Explorer app. 1st app I install Been using for past 10+ years 👍👍👍

★★★★★ Small footprint, huge scope. Powerful, intuitive, and extendable! 10 years Later, still the best file manager on Android

★★★★★ Later updates have introduced problems with SMB. Under Root Explorer v4.12.5 (latest at the time of writing), instead of a file list I get: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang. String.indexOf(int)' on a null object reference

★★☆☆☆ Trying to modify a file on Android 13, and it is unable to mount the partition as r/w. There is no mention of any Android 13 limitations. Contacted support but have not received a reply. It is now too late for a refund. Yes the phone is rooted, etc. Gee, great product with great support, yea right...

★★☆☆☆ I used this app for years, but just installed it on a duplicate phone (broken screen) LG V60, and now this pos app is stuck at "/storage/emulated/0". No changing directories, no searching device. Nothing. Time to delete and look for another file manager that will actually go through different folders and search the sdcard and the phone.

★★☆☆☆ won't rename files on sdcard says to allow to write permission. Then says to press button to allow in setting. Then glitches and shows store root explorer app main page. Android 14.
