| 2024-06-24 |  | | Needs to be UPDATED because this app says it's "Built for an OLDER Version of Android. Please UPDATE this app to work Correctly on the LATEST Android which is Android 14, and I will gladly Rate 5 🌟 if and when it is UPDATED to Work Correctly again with the latest Android Version. Thx. |
| 2023-04-11 |  | | Not sure I even need this anymore. I did once upon a time, now I just install it with the main app out of habit. I know it looks sketch, and the dev's responses don't help much in countering that image, but it's harmless. Dev's just an awkward kinda dude, but a good developer. Talked to him a while back, to troubleshoot some issue I was having. Decent guy, just not all cheery. Programming does that to a man. |
| 2023-04-04 |  | | CX File Explorer required this plugin in order to be able to open files using the 'Open With' or 'Open As' commands. it doesn't seem to run in the background or anything suspicious. |
| 2022-11-12 |  | | File URI is a simple and helpful plugin that allows your file manager to open a variety of different file extensions that it wouldn't normally be able to. The ridiculous reviews that claim the app is nefarious are from uneducated people without an understanding of how the Android OS actually functions. 5⭐ for functionality and support of various file extensions as advertised. |
| 2022-10-31 |  | | Hmm, yes very suspicious indeed, like those weirdos who think the world is actually round! Lol, what don't people get? It's a PLUG-IN, it's been written by this developer to allow some of us to run video we otherwise wouldn't! Holy cow!?!?? Seriously? To the Dev, thanks very much for your efforts, it works perfectly for me doing EXACTLY what it's meant to! Let me cast video i haven't been able to, not all, just some, so THANKYOU! I know your efforts aren't a conspiracy, some people eh? Cheers:) |
| 2022-05-21 |  | | com.alphainventor.plugin.file.uri is the actual name of the plugin yet it will show as File URI Plugin until uninstalled. I guess someone could consider being an Alpha Inventor if they steal everyone's ideas by accessing their files worldwide. But maybe thats not what this means.. I hope this did uninstall & isn't lingering around. I cant really say anything negative at the moment. Hopefully removing this plugin though will improve my battery performance. I may reinstall later on. Uncertain. |
| 2022-03-09 |  | | This little app used to be great for CX file explorer but in the past few weeks something has changed. It no longer seems to work for opening any kind of files anymore. |
| 2022-03-05 |  | | HeII nah. These reviews are hands down the most suspicious I've ever seen. The very first one shown is less than a week old, rates it 5 stars and is telling everyone to ignore EVERY negative review, and that this app is "amazing" and somehow magically "speeds your phone up in every single way". Nah. Uninstalled and reported. |
| 2021-12-06 |  | | This works with other file explorer apps too. Now I'm able to open all kinds of files with respective application. There are no ads. Antivirus said not harmful. |
| 2021-08-20 |  | | I have developer options installed. So thank you to all the developers for all the work you do, and reading is very FUNdamental. I am learning new things about Android phones everyday. These phones are amazing! So once again thank you to all of you developers and all that you do. :) |
