Hoping we ca...Edit: As of today, Dropbox integration no longer works for this; apparently they updated their API so a lot of third-party integration is breaking. Hoping we can get a fix; this app is still useful in that it provides an easy way to download files, but not having Dropbox integration makes this usefulness limited as you can't upload anything from the phone. (Oh, and my comments below about the music player no longer apply, as this got a music player built into it at some point.) Original review: One of the annoyances of the iPhone was not being able to download files—having to download them to a desktop/laptop and then transfer them to the phone for storage was a pain. But this app makes it so easy to download and store files. Dropbox integration works great, so you can even download something you come across on your phone and then upload it so you can access it on another computer without having to bring a cable in the interim. I was waiting to buy this until it updated for the iPhone 5, and now that it has I finally decided to. The only thing that would make it better would be a better built-in music player (right now you have to transfer to a 3rd party app or use "quick look"). Ideally you'd be able to transfer it to your iTunes library on the device, but Apple doesn't seem to want to support that; it's hardly something the dev can fix. A built-in music player would be a nice workaround for small audio files though. Otherwise it's a great, solid app.

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!

Mostly Pointless and Incompatible

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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