| 1434532 | 2017-04-24 22:32:00 | Looking for a file manager and office app not polluted with adds. Have tried several but have to go off-line to get any peace when using them. |

I only use the default file mananger included on my samsung tablet personally so not much experience there but I think Es file explorer is fairly popular and has an add free pro version for $5 or so. If you want free you may have to put up with adds, the developers need to eat too. |

| 1434534 | 2017-04-25 00:17:00 | Thanks dugi. I think I've tried most of them. From memory the MS Office was just as bad as the default Mobi Systems OfficeSuite. As you say, you get what you pay for. You'd think the default ones would be add free like the default ones that come with Linux. |

| 1434537 | 2017-04-25 04:01:00 | Nobody is going to develop anything worth having for free. As Dugi pointed out the developer likes to eat too. ES file explorer works well for me. If I am only going to use an app for a brief period I am content to put with the adds on the other hand if I am going to use it a lot I am quite happy to pay the $5 or $10 sub to make it add free. I really think that is the only fair thing to do. |
