Looks nice. I will give it a try. Root access in future? :) Good luck with the project.

Seems like a pretty good file manager to me. Might even beat es explorer in my daily use! :)

Please could people write reviews? I'm looking for some constructive criticism of what you like and don't like.

e.g : thoughts on the price of the pro version, colour scheme, speed, UI layout? Also features you would like to see.

Thanks!

Okay, you want feedback:
Maybe an option to hide folders which require rootaccess. This would probably clean the interface a bit more for an inexperienced user who confused when he sees all the different folders and names

Kinda digging this so far, bought pro version so I could play around with root options, but haven't delved to deep yet.... I'll re-review when I get to that point. Nice development :)

Making root access a non-pro feature would be unfair on the people who have already paid for it.

What do you mean by detail view and list view?

You will lose a lot of customers if you don't, by detail view try to open es file manager, there you can change the view to a variety
If you're working on Windows there's a view called detailed view, check it out.

I like the design of your app, your main competition will probably be lime browser, check it out.

The view is already detailed, it tells you everything you need to know. Name, size, permissions. I made it based on simplicity, I don't like these file managers with a ton of options. Some of them I can't even figure out how to copy a file.

Yes, but the line is too thick, so if you're scrolling through a folder with a lot of files in, it'll take a long time

You can use the search feature ;)

Scrolling isn't that slow, I can scroll through my pictures folder in a second or so. It has 150+ photos in it.

    I really like your app. I waited for minimalistic file manager. Price for Pro is acceptable.
    What about translations? I would help you with German translation.

    Please add the feature to show/hide hidden folders (the ones with the dot at the beginning of their names).

    One bug: initial folder does not work. I set my internal sd card as it.
    Maybe it is because it reads the current folder and saves it automatically.

    And I don't like the way to exit the app. I press back while in my sd card to exit the app and it navigates to root directory of my phone and then I can exit the app.

    Please add an extra option under settings dots to exit the app. And with back button just that far as initial folder is set. To go up further please add something else.

    Found something more. Sorting files and folders is a bit strange. First the app sorts folders with capital letter then with small leading letter and then files.
    I would suggest to ignore upper and lower case.

    Looks great, loving the minimal look. One feature that would be nice is the ability to bookmark folders/directories and maybe have a sidebar or whatever there called (swipe from left to right brings up a menu, like Gmail, plays store etc) to view them while keeping it uncluttered

    Now that's a very good idea!

    Just a small suggestion. For multi selection make it so u dont have to long press on each item. Its slow and awkward. Instead add a "select all" button or make it so after u long press one item to activate "multi select mode" you just tap adxitional items.

    There is already a 'Select All' button. ;)
