Previously would have rated 5 stars, but now its 2
Until earlier this week I would have given this app a 5 star review as it is my favorite File Manager app of all the ones I have tried yet. It is indeed fairly versatile and useful with a nice interface and cool functions and features. But then this week with the new update it slammed us with demands to upgrade to the premium version for which they want the OUTRAGEOUS SUM OF $9.99/MONTH! Sorry, it's a great app, but it is by no means a 10 dollar a month app. Not with the features it promises for that price, half of which were originally part of the free version and are now locked away behind a paywall. Features like built-in unzipping of compressed files (I can always use a separate app for that), a "powerful" video player (I already use a much better and more versatile video player, VLC Player, which is free!) and a couple other features that don't matter enough for me to recall at the moment, stuff I don't think I was even using this app for in the first place. I'm still going to use the free version of this app, but I'll be [censored] if I continue telling people about this one any more like I used to. Was a big fan of this app at one time, but no longer. They can take their [explitive] and [censored] it [censored] their [explitive]!
