Es file explorer update#
No.ĪndroidPIT has reached out to ES APP Group, which owns ES File Explorer, for comment and will update this article once we receive a response.
All negative reviewers were offered a copy-and-pasted reply, stating that they should "consider giving the app a 5 star rating, if you are happy to see this change." Um. Not only that, but when users began complaining, some that the additional feature was causing their chargers to become extremely hot, a subsequent update removed the charge booster. Not only did it hijack my lock screen without asking, but it used the space to display ads. These were conveniently placed where I would usually swipe to unlock my phone, so when I did eventually manage to unlock my device, the charge booster directed me to the Play Store and whatever app was being advertised. The lock screen replacement with ad, and automatic redirection to the Play Store upon unlocking. But the team behind ES File Explorer disagreed, and so DU Charge Booster appeared on my phone's lock screen whenever I plugged it in to charge.
Es file explorer install#
If I install a file explorer, it's generally because I want a file explorer, not a charge booster. The final straw, and the reason for this article, is that ES File Explorer recently added another piece of bloatware: DU Charge Booster. But one thing is for sure: ES File Explorer has dug its own grave with comical rapidity. Where did it begin? Was it when the app was redesigned to be pretty but less functional? Or was it when, after loading the app up with ads and spammy notifications offering to clean your device, the developers announced, "we are about to launch a paid version"? It's hard to know for certain. As of tomorrow, ES File Explorer will no longer feature on any of our best-of lists. An app which we once described as, "the best way to keep your data organized on Android" has seen a catastrophic fall from grace over the past few months. Our best Android apps list alone has more than four millions page impressions, and we spend a lot of time testing the apps that we recommend there.
