Filer Reviews

Rigtig god til håndtering af filer

MX.dk on

Denmark

Kan afspille film og håndtere div dokument typer. Som en god ting kan appen håndtere komprimerede filer. Har brugt appen i en del år efterhånden - har aldrig haft behov for andre lignende programmer! Kan anbefales!

Awsome as hell!

Malte Hauge on

Denmark

This app just works! Suits all your filesystem needs, does sharing via WiFi, Dropbox and WebDav integration and most importantly: A clean, easy to use interface. I can only recommend this app!

Used to be awesome

Nomake on

United States

Back when iOS didn’t have any native file handling features or the ability to download content directly from a browser this app was a godsend. Nowadays those features are built in, which makes this app less useful on modern iOS. Plus it hasn’t been updated in 7 years, so there are now bugs too. For everyone experiencing the “Filer crashes the moment I open it” bug, that is due to incompatible data in your clipboard. Filer will try to paste whatever is in your phone’s clipboard the moment you open the app. Some links (such as YouTube links) cause it to crash as a result. Copy something like a series of numbers from Notes to replace whatever is in your clipboard and the app will open again.

Works great

Johnmehr on

United States

I’m happy with this. It makes downloading multiple files from a website like archive.org very easy. There are still some quirks, like crashing upon opening, but that’s easily worked around by copying something to a clipboard first. Haven’t had it crash, ever, once I had something copied to the clipboard. This does exactly what I need, and is the perfect app for browsing/copying/sharing files. The mini web server it includes makes for sharing files with PCs and Android devices a breeze.

After years of use it stopped working

hansvossde on

United States

Now I can’t access my saved files.

Ok when it works

johneddy on

United States

Better than nothing. When it did work, audio would stop if you opened a different app. Now it crashes each time I open it- even after reinstalling.

Mostly Pointless and Incompatible

Phantasmo on

United States

Filer used to be my favorite “missing” app from Apple on iOS giving my iPad 1 the much needed presence of a file system. The ability to download and transfer apps was fantastic and the ability to save downloaded data without a computer was incredibly useful. However since 2018, this app is mostly outdated and replaced by other programs like Safari and Apple’s own Files App. Filer is incompatible with Files and can’t access or view anything from the Files app, meaning a file downloaded on Filer won’t be able to be opened anywhere else on the iPhone. This is terribly outdated.

Failing App

jreichwein on

United States

I trustes this App to keep my resume ready to send out when needed o the go. At the moment I am applying for a job and the App will not open. It fails when I click on it to open, just blinks and thats all I get. I tried restarting my phone to no avail. I have always had good luck with this App until now. I am hoping to redo this review soon but as of now 2 stars is being generous.

Warning those those who might purchase

Conor Kirkpatrick on

United States

On the latest ios at the time of this writing, with an 11 pro max, this application will randomly not launch. If it doesn’t launch, it doesn’t seem to want to launch until the next day. The app hasn’t been updated in 4 years and most likely has been abandoned by the developer. You may want to look into alternative file management software.

Favorite Great App but not working

jeff123456778 on

United States

Upgraded to iOS 14.0.1 and app has stopped working. It launches but will not come to forefront. Tried deleting and re-installing did not work. Looks like developer no longer in business.
