Problem:
--------------
Please note that Samsung's "My Files" file browser has a known bug and does not open STL files directly in the app because it fails to associate the STL extension with the right app.

Solution:
--------------
Install any other third party file manager from the Google Play Store to be able to open STL files directly while browsing.

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Google Play Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Simple and easy to use
Works smoothly for viewing STL files
Quick access to opening STL files
Useful for professionals in designing and 3D modeling
Active developer engagement to address bugs

Cons

Cannot open STL files directly from file managers on some devices (especially Samsung)
Preferred features like orbiting and moving objects are limited
Bug that prevents navigation to files if a file is deleted while the app is closed
Annoying preset directories for file openings making it hard to locate files
Inoperable without disabling network connection due to a bug

Most mentioned

Issues with file associations and opening files directly from file managers
Need for additional features like orbiting and object movement
Usability problems when a file is deleted
Overall functionality and simplicity for viewing STL files

User reviews

Subtle and friendly, but needs more features, orbiting and zoom speed are so high, guess depends on model size, but its good to be adjustable.

It's so simple to use. I love it! Thank you for making this. One thing I think should be viable is that when you click on an STL file in your file app, it opens the file with this app. That would make it really good. Other than that, it's perfect.
