My old Note 3 ( still rins like a beast, too) is rooted so this app, the theme appears dated somewhat (but a plus: it does have a dark theme) which doesnt bother me, is GREAT to have to work with all my files.

It doesn't work, I just bought it and nothing happens from the beginning, when I try to give it permission it crashes and nothing happens, I need my money back... My cell phone model is a Samsung a 71

Great app. Purchased and use on all my devices. But why no bookmarks for SMB folders?

By far the best 'Root Explorer' App there is. Makes copying/replacing files extremely easy, along with extracting specific files and also this makes editing build.prop files incredibly eàsy! Find myself using this app constantly.

This is really becoming disheartening. You all know my device is rooted because you rooted my Sim and made yourself admin on ALL my devices.. Either refund me or allow me to utilize the app!

The one I keep returning to. Simple, effective and bug free.
