Great app! This really resolves some of the issues I was having with Amazon before! The wife is happy, too! (Thank god...)

Ease of use. App needs to be added to Fire Apps for quick accessibility and adding photos saved on firestick. R Horner
Not what I expected

The Amazon interface stinks, I expected that. I was hoping for more from this app. While it does do what Amazon does it misses in a couple of critical places. First, I can't actually read the file names. The font is so tiny it's almost humorous. When you click/touch the file it expands to fill the entire screen but that's simply not enough to make this usable. Second, it seems to tile the documents and folders. A minor issue compared to the first but I would rather see the traditional vertical list I can sort. Third, and a slightly bigger issue is that it doesn't retain an index. I can see that you can't download all your files to your iPad. It would defeat the purpose of cloud storage, but not having an index means staring at a blank screen while it downloads a list of files in the directory. That's a heck of a wait. Each time you change directories. It would be better if it kept the directory list with a warning that it was being updated in the background and was not "live". This would allow you to at least look at your list of files (since your last log on) while it verified everything was actually there. Put unverified files on red or something. On the whole it has promise (simply because Amazon doesn't seem to care about supporting this service and a private app may listen to feedback) but needs to reach a little more. I didn't even get to how easy or hard it is to move and organize files. Maybe when I can read the file names I will re-visit this app. As I said it's still more than Amazon provided.
Pro does not work as advertised

I have two issues with this application: 1. When upgrading to Pro from within the app, I am told that it will unlock the ability to import/export from any app that supports storage locations. That's simply untrue. Unlike Google Drive, OwnCloud, OneDrive, and iCloud, this app does not show up as a location target (in apps that use the feature, such as Pages). Nor does it appear as a share sheet target. The only thing you can do is pull and push files from OTHER cloud storage apps. But if there's an app on your iPad that you want on Amazon Cloud Drive? Nope. You have to send it to one of those other cloud services FIRST, then go into this app and import it. Essentially, it's the exact same limitation as the official Amazon Drive app, in a much uglier package. Second issue: the graphics and layout are malformed on an iPad Pro. Folder names partially overlap the folders, making them hard to read. Other areas have text cut off by UI elements, where there should be plenty of space to display them. TL;DR: no more useful than the official app, but costs $2.00 more, and is significantly worse looking.
Works as advertised

I'm not sure what the other review is talking about. The pro upgrade states very clearly that it allows you to import and export to any service supporting storage extensions. It DOESN'T say it provides a storage extension for Amazon Cloud Drive that would show up in apps like Pages. That would be a nice feature, though, or at lease offer something in the share sheet. In the end, read before you buy.
Need ability to limit cache size

Works, if a bit clunky, but it needs a way to limit the cache size. Otherwise, using it to view media could fill up your whole iPad.
Junk - does not work

Bought the "pro" version to do imports. Only causes the app to crash. TOTALLY USELESS!!!!
