WordCup - The Game

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.

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.

Now I can’t access my saved files.

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.

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 However since 2018, this app is mostly outdated and replaced by other programs like Safari and Apple’s own Files App.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 This is terribly outdated.

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.

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.

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.

I don’t know why it won’t immediately resume playing downloaded media after pausing for a phone call but every other media player for iOS has this figured out.

How do we update the app? It seems to be losing its historical functionality.
