Files United – Files United File Manager Review

This is a wonderful app for those who need to organize documents into a variety of different folders (all of which can have sub folders), creating a digital file cabinet one can refer to either on an I-Pad or I-Phone. They can be password protected as well. I managed a very large staff before I retired and can’t tell you how much easier my job would have been if this app had been around then. I’ve waited a long time to rate it because shortly after purchasing the first version called “File Manager,” (which has been renamed “Files United”), the creators started making changes to it that vastly improved its efficiency. One of my first complaints about it was that one could not edit a document once it was transferred to the app. Now, however, they have made it possible to move documents into Apple’s Pages, edit them there, and move them back to Files United. Nirvanna will happen when one can do that in the app itself and hopefully that will happen some day. What has kept me in the game with this app is that from my first e-mail to the creators in Germany, I always got a response to every question—and I had many. I use the app for Recipes (I have a small baking business) and for Bridge, which I have seriously taken up. Being able to quickly refer to a bidding rule or convention on my I-Phone or I-Pad has been so helpful. As bridge players can imagine, trying to organize the many bridge bidding and convention rules in one place is beyond fabulous. But it was also important to be able to edit them as well as so often, particularly as one progresses, bidding and conventions changes. I’m still on a learning curve with some of the app’s functions, but I really love it and know that they are always listening “over there” to suggestions and requests for help. That is huge.
