Comments
#1 Confirming the applied rating is correct.
For me, this app has replaced filer since Filer removed the Wifi transfer option.
This app is fully accessible and all elements are clearly labelled. I use it daily to read books in .doc or .docs format and it has replaced Safari as my iPhone browser. I also use it’s built-in media player to watch audio-described videos while out and about. I use the paid version of this app and would recommend it to anyone.
The only difference between the free and paid version, is the free version limits you to 7 downloads.
