Summary
This mobile app receives largely negative feedback, primarily due to severe stability issues and frequent crashes, especially when attempting to select multiple files, a core file management function. Users also criticize the outdated user interface, lack of modern features like dark mode and FaceID login, and poor performance across file uploads, media playback (including issues with HEIC and MOV files), and slow previews. While some specific bugs related to file selection crashing have been reported as fixed in version 5.18.2, a pervasive sentiment of neglect exists due to infrequent updates and unaddressed long-standing problems. This is exacerbated by widespread device and OS compatibility issues, affecting iPhones (e.g., iPhone 15/16 Pro with HEIC/video playback), iPads running iOS 18.3.2, and broader issues with iOS 26.1.
