User Reviews for Filer

Very useful app

Very useful app for downloading files. Features which I like most are it's pause and resume ability.

Amb. Mobs, Jan 27, 2017

Just want to say thanks!

This is just about the most useful app I've found on the app store, I've been using it since 2010 or so... I use it as a wireless USB stick and Audio player. All meat, no fluff! I'm happy to see its updated to the latest iOS! Thanks again Dan!

Warning those those who might purchase

On the latest ios at the time of this writing, with an 11 pro max, this application will randomly not launch. If it doesn’t launch, it doesn’t seem to want to launch until the next day. The app hasn’t been updated in 4 years and most likely has been abandoned by the developer.You may want to look into alternative file management software.

Favorite Great App but not working

Upgraded to iOS 14.0.1 and app has stopped working. It launches but will not come to forefront. Tried deleting and re-installing did not work. Looks like developer no longer in business.

Ok when it works

Better than nothing.When it did work, audio would stop if you opened a different app.Now it crashes each time I open it- even after reinstalling.

Failing App

I trustes this App to keep my resume ready to send out when needed o the go. At the moment I am applying for a job and the App will not open. It fails when I click on it to open, just blinks and thats all I get. I tried restarting my phone to no avail. I have always had good luck with this App until now. I am hoping to redo this review soon but as of now 2 stars is being generous.

Feel like I’ve been ripped off

I downloaded the Lite version first and it seemed to work just ok . But at least it opened my zip files until it reached the limit . So I PAID the $3.99 for the full version, not only could I NOT transfer what was stuck in the Lite but this purchased app wouldn’t open anything . So unclear and would just keep duplicating until I had finally reached the limit for opening the files . So thanks a lot . I wouldn’t suggest it. Keep looking!

Mostly Pointless and Incompatible

Filer used to be my favorite “missing” app from Apple on iOS giving my iPad 1 the much needed presence of a file system. The ability to download and transfer apps was fantastic and the ability to save downloaded data without a computer was incredibly useful. However since 2018, this app is mostly outdated and replaced by other programs like Safari and Apple’s own Files App. Filer is incompatible with Files and can’t access or view anything from the Files app, meaning a file downloaded on Filer won’t be able to be opened anywhere else on the iPhone. This is terribly outdated.

Most useful app I've ever used

This app makes my iPad more like a laptop. It lets me download virtually any file with a link on the internet. For example if I need to download a file from a website (a large PDF manual for example, or a DMG software update for my mac) but I'm out of the office, I use filer's built-in browser to go to the website (view mode), once I get to the exact location that contains the link for the file, I click the download button (download mode), then I click the link for the actual file, the file immediately starts downloading to my iPad. I can later transfer the file to my mac. Note that in order to successfully download a file you must be at the exact link for the file, if you switch to download mode and click a link that isn't the actual link to the file you will download a web page HTML document instead, I think this is what,s happening to a lot of people that complain about the program not working. You must click on the absolute final link that leads to the file. Excellent app!

Missing feature

I don’t know why it won’t immediately resume playing downloaded media after pausing for a phone call but every other media player for iOS has this figured out.
