| 2024-09-08 |  | | Download at your own risk. After I gave it total access to everything on my phone it started showing ad after ad never letting me navigate to the menu or stop the ads long enough to even use it. Also it installed hidden files on my phone that I had to manually remove. I will probably spend a hour to remove the app entirely, I only had the app on my phone for 10 minutes. |
| 2024-06-08 |  | | Having to watch 30-45 seconds worth of ads every 3rd tap is ridiculous. Makes this app completely un-usable. Download CX File Explorer or ES File Explorer instead. Both offer root access, both have more features, and both have zero ads. |
| 2023-05-29 |  | | There is a full 30 second ad that plays EVERY single time you click on something. Check a folder? Ad. Wrong folder so you gotta go back? Ad. Copy? Ad. Paste? Ad. Search? Ad. 30 seconds. And the X button doesn't even close it out on the first try, it opens your browser |
| 2022-12-07 |  | | The reviews previous to mine state that this app used to be the best until an update some time prior to myself downloading the app for the first time are absolutely 100% on the dot correct. I'm referring to the complaining of to many ads. When I first started the app I got a video ad that I could terminate after 5 to 10 seconds. I then clicked one button and got another video ad of the same caliber. Then I got agitated and now I'm here. I bet another after review..... ....edit: yep got another |
| 2022-08-26 |  | | The in-app purchases option to upgrade did not work on 2 occasions. On both the occasions , it failed but I got messages from my bank that Rs. 65 (that is Rs. 130 in total) has been deducted from my account for both attempts. The purchase succeeded on the 3rd attempt and I got another message from the bank. Please return the remainder to my bank account. I do NOT want a refund. I just want back the excess money that was sent to your account. Two-pane navigation is confusing with Android 10 UI. |
| 2022-05-28 |  | | Helped me delete some obb files that I couldn't delete before I installed this root Explorer app. I think I only got 1 ad or a pop up but iam pretty sure there it wasn't an ad, I closed it immediately and got no other pop ups. Also it doesn't seem to be any premiums for offer so I assume the other reviews are from competitors or trolls fortunately for me. |
| 2022-04-12 |  | | Don't see reviews. Just install the app! It is one of the most cleanest root browser I have ever seen. It does not have any interruptive ads. It never interrupts you to rate or buy premium. It gives the material UI, with multiple themes to choose, so customisation is heavy. The tasks it performs are smooth and interactive. |
| 2022-01-19 |  | | Just say NO! After watching a few ads to get to the hidden folder I need to copy a file to, the app showed me an empty directory, which means it's absolutely NOT a root file system reader. Doesn't work and has an ad for every click. |
| 2022-01-09 |  | | It works, but SO Many ads! 1 ad for Every Move, and not the short kind either. You have to wait 5+5 seconds to skip the first one and before you can close the one that follows up. Sometimes more. Really obnoxious ads too. Rap, Tik Tok, Credit cards, ect. Low energy level stuff. Use anything else my friends. Love you all out there. Take care of yourselves. 🌎🌟 |
| 2021-09-25 |  | | Completely unusable. I have to go through 1 minute of adds to go into one folder, then another minute to look at another folder. I'm not trying to waste 30 minutes just to delete a few files. |
