Latest reviews of Folders Pro app for iPhone and iPad
I have been using the free version of this app, Folders, for almost a year, but since the latest update, it no longer switches to landscape view on my phone (iPhone 4 running iOS 6). so, I paid the upgrade fee to download Folders Pro, and find that while it does provide panorama mode viewing, it is far harder to get content into it than into Folders. In particular, there is no ZIP expansion as in Folders so wireless upload must be one file at a time, and it is not possible to move files between folders (except from the upload folder), so the only way to get things arranged as you want them is to work out in advance exactly what your folder structure is going to be, then laboriously populate it by single file uploads, or folder by folder uploads via iTunes,. This is a major step back from the upload functionality of Folders. I tried to email Ractor via the contact support form on their website to see if they could address these concerns, but the form returned the message "Please fill all fields", so that doesnt work either. I feel I have been cheated by having important functionality removed from a product I had previously downloaded (Folders), forcing me into "upgrading" to a version with even less functionality. Perhaps this is the strategy: hook customers, on the free one, then gradually diminish it to force them to "upgrade"
With iPhone 6 folders are always accessible without password. This obviates this App
Ive been using Folders for over a year now and Folders Pro is even better! Now I can make subfolders and import from iTunes. Really awesome app!
I have tried a number of "private" apps all with the same shortcomings. This one hits it out of the park. It is inconspicuous, works great, has WiFi AND USB file transfers. It is everything I was looking for!
just discovered the Folders Pro upgrade and its really good. had a question for support and they got back to me quick. thanks.
