"Android 12 support, better late than never. Back to being great again"

"I FOUND A WAY AROUND THE ACCESS LIMITATIONS! By navigating to your files through the ``/mnt/user/0`` directory—``/mnt/user/0/self/primary``, internal, and ``/mnt/user/0/[your SD`s UUID]``, external (as opposed to ``/storage/emulated/0`` and ``/storage/[UUID]``)—Root Explorer can circumvent its shortcomings in Android 11 & 12 at accessing the ``…/Android/data`` folder on internal storage and deleting/renaming files on external storage. This was driving me crazy! Hope it helps you too. (Of course, NEEDS ROOT)"

"Using this app for years now, it`s straightforward with a clean ui when compared to most of the others - would love it more if possible to search in the background and even more if folders could be excluded 😊.. thanks"

"Just rooted my phone s21 ultra. (Was skeptical about it at first but so glad I did) I downloaded this app after reading the reviews about it (before rooting). And I have to say its absolutely awesome well worth £3 you can change things, look in *.apk files before installing which is brilliant. Zip files up and un zip, ifyou can even pick programs to open files like windows. it covers just about everything. Hats off to the developers. Excellent job. I"

"NEVER AGAIN! LOST AND ERASED ALL MY PICTURES (DEAD LOVED ONES), BOOKS, DOCUMENTS, AND MUSIC TRANSFERING USING THIS! Never before, till gave permission to open it. I don`t use clouds. Wanting bigger font, against my better judgement. I even checked folders 3 times. Suddenly it was telling me I was disconnected. Everytime I opened JUST THIS APP, A folder would disappear. Permanently. It wasn`t the drive, or card, a virus, malware, nor the phone. It was SPECIFICALLY THIS CODE/APP. Burn in hell."

"If you`re using any other file manager, you should just switch and drink your Apple kool-aids with all the other soccer moms. If the app ``doesn`t work`` try checking your brain cells. The app does what the developer says it does and always has (been using it here since launch; first used it from a warez site, then gladly purchased it to support the devs). Still working like a champ 15+? years later!"

"Deleting and moving files from internal to sd card is so slow sometimes it takes about 2 minutes to delete a folder with files that has photos and files and these files are only 10mb under. And moving files are too long like its forever on moving a file 1gb and above."

"Love this app, used it for the last 6 years to name over 12,000 files on a Samsung Galaxy phone using a BlueTooth keyboard. I can open multiple tabs, each viewing a folder of my choice on either internal or SDcard memory, and it allows for long filenames, which the built-in Samsung My Files does not. Would have given it 5 stars, but after upgrading to a new Samsung Galaxy phone it is flagging some files as having illegal characters with the � symbol and it is unable to rename these."

"I like yalls little app , I believe I`ve even have your pro version question is do you have another update version or higher version I can get have a few. Extra bucks on what I call my allowance card ... Whenever I a few extra bucks left I`ll put it on it ... Thanks for listening"
