App Store ratings in the countries we track, 4-week average.
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about FileBrowser Professional
From the 52 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users praise the app's robust protocol support and reliability for SMB/SFTP connections compared to Apple's native Files app. However, significant complaints arise regarding recent updates causing crashes, removed features like file moving, and misleading pricing structures that require separate Mac licenses.
Mixed but leaning positive (56% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for its features and content, and being useful. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and crashes and bugs. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
What people like
- Features & content: “Always adding new features”
- Useful: “When I have questions, support is always professional & helpful”
- Connection & sync: “And connects to every third party storage drive EXCEPT Proton Drive”
- Ease of use: “Powerful and easy to use!”
Common complaints
- Price & subscription: “I regret spending my money on this”
- Crashes & bugs: “Shortly after this review, my iPad crashed”
- Ease of use: “Did this developer EVER use a PC or MAC where drive and file access is SIMPLE?”
- Updates: “Auto-Slide Show feature no longer works after most recent update”
