Paid Apps Now Free

ES Pro Manager [File manager w/ 4.5 stars] (normally $1.39 AUD)

Mosque Wallpapers 4K PRO 🕌 HD Backgrounds (free normally $1)

Discounted Paid Apps

Lunescope Moon Viewer ($1.59, Normally $6.49): a gift to my fellow 'airheads', I was 'weighting' for this to go on sale

Default App Manager ($1.49, 50% off, probably useful with you try out a lot of programs within a certain genre)

Sky Safari Plus ($8, 67% off)

—-another airhead program but it seems to be more for telescope users rather than astrologer types content with what the naked eye can discern. There is a Pro version but at 50% off it is equivalent in price to Windows app software, at $30. The Pro version has the largest database, for people with high powered telescopes, or astronomy students/researchers.

New addition for pro musicians (definitely not me yet): MIDI Controller ($2.59 / 80% off)

    This is ES PRO Manager, an imitation app deliberately named to confuse. This is not the famous and infamous ES File Explorer.

    • deeevan on 18/07/2019 - 07:32

      Yes, it's been years since I used ES File Manager but the developer name looked a bit off

      • NigelTufnel on 18/07/2019 - 08:29

        Also only 5,000+ downloads and 439 reviews… Pretty sure ES File explorer had about 100x that.

    • lostn on 18/07/2019 - 08:28

      I see. I was confused as to why I didn't already own this app.

      The real ES has gone

        Good. It started off good, then turned to trash borderline malware. There are plenty of alternatives out there now.

        • Budju on 18/07/2019 - 21:21

          What's good? I didn't know es was bad now still use it

            @Budju: It was a struggle for me to find an alternative app but FX explorer seems to do the trick for me. I purchased the app after the trial. No regrets so far.

            I was looking for network and SMB access.

  • Big1 on 18/07/2019 - 07:40

    I can't find es file Explorer from estrong on google play anymore, am looking for the wrong one?

      The mother company for EStrong (DO Global) was banned from the Play store because of fraud - They had basically imitated Google ads clicking through but did not actually do so by the user. Hence it goes against their T&Cs that leads to banning.

    I use free Asus file manager, ad free, neat and simple, this free pro manager looks dodgy with a name like that

  • lostn on 18/07/2019 - 08:27

    some of these are expired already.

    Only android file manager i can highly recommend. Straight out of xda.

      MiXplorer Silver is on the Play Store.

      • kmish on 18/07/2019 - 09:20

        What is the difference between silver ($6.49) vs the edition from the xda link(free)?

        • Tacooo on 18/07/2019 - 09:26

          No manually updating APK, support dev etc. Other things but I cbf looking right now.

            @Tacooo: My XDA sourced version checks for updates automatically on launch. There's a switch in settings.

            Have to agree Mixplorer is great. It can run various servers to get files on and off your device wirelessly, which had gotten me out of trouble a few times. The copy and paste is a little but awkward by otherwise it's great. It also works with the remote or joystick on Android TV, which several file managers don't.

    • slowFTL on 18/07/2019 - 10:56

      I second that!

    As others have mentioned, ES is a fake app. I've since switched to solid explorer, and think it's fantastic. Great UI and features.

    • thangcuoi on 18/07/2019 - 09:25

      Solid Explorer is the best and totally worth the money. Since switching to 5Ghz wifi, I discovered the convenience of wireless file transfer from my Android phone to other Windows or Android devices using Solid Explorer free Solid Explorer FTP Server addon.

    • Caped Baldy on 18/07/2019 - 09:29

      With that said, why have you given it a +vote?

        +1 vote for the mosque wallpapers app (see my comment above). Downloaded and installed straight away. Very happy and appreciative that OP shared it.

    Fake ES File Manager that was once probably the best file management app on android.

  • dojomojo on 18/07/2019 - 11:48

    I use Solid Explorer, one of the few file managers that does true cut/paste, as opposed to faux copy/paste/delete. Saves heaps of time when moving large files.

  • NeoBeum on 18/07/2019 - 13:05

    I stopped using ES when my Pro version started popping up ads… around 2013

    FX is ad-free and free

    That's also not ES File Explorer… but probably Hugo Weaving dropping the bass.

    • daitro on 18/07/2019 - 13:25

      FX is free but requires an extra purchase of FX+ to access your network and cloud.

      • NeoBeum on 18/07/2019 - 20:07

        most of the good ones do..

        fx was my replacement.. back then there wasnt much available that were decent.

        I ended up with a mobi systems license too adter getting a xperia for a while.. but alwYs have fx

        astro, root, es, fx, solid, x-plore, file commander.

        that was the order I tried, and havent bought anything since fx in 2013. and always default to fx.

        asus' file manager is decent. samsungs is crud. sony uses file commander… which is ok if premium.

        I just did a quick scroll and nothing really piqued interest recently… other than mixplorer
        but that looks like it's based off the Mi UI.
        I never liked miui.

    Came to install this.
    Read the comments.
    End up uninstalling both ES Pro Manager and ES File Manager.
    Default File Explorer it is.

  • donnot on 18/07/2019 - 15:00

    Try CX File Explorer over the ES crap. Fast, clean and plenty of features (without throwing them in your face on startup).

  • nemesis on 18/07/2019 - 15:47

    Warning! Fake! Likely spyware! Only 5,000 downloads - the real ES File Explorer would have had 1,000,000+ downloads before it got banned.

    Fake ES File Manager please do not download!

  • syousef on 18/07/2019 - 17:27

    I bought all versions of Sky Safari 5 with Telstra Prepaid credit. Previous versions of the app got pulled when 6 was released. You can still download from your history but if like me you have hundreds of apps finding it in that history is a pain.

      Only hundreds? You aren't even trying.

    Yikes! Already installed the "ES" Pro Manager.
    Should have read the comments first!

  • highon2str on 18/07/2019 - 22:36

    Im using ES File Explorer Pro v1.1.4.1

    Just read some of the comments here - is it still safe to use or should I swap to something like solid Explorer? It's just a pain to set up all the cloud accounts and sftp accounts again but if it's not secure it will have to go…

  • drup on 19/07/2019 - 07:03

    just google 'es file manager' under news in google to find out why you shouldnt bother.

  • mrvaluepack on 20/07/2019 - 07:16

    I installed the file explorer and scanned it. All good, no virus, also no funny permissions required so i think its ok to use.

  • morgs640 on 21/07/2019 - 06:58

    Any free file manager with built in SMB and share files over wifi? (Not mixplorer)

    • sud on 22/07/2019 - 23:09

      asus file manager

      • morgs640 on 23/07/2019 - 03:53

        No file sharing over wifi and also want root access.

        • sud on 24/07/2019 - 00:13

          iirc Unless you explicitly say so in the settings, it never asked for Root.

          And no, it HAS wifi file sharing, as shown in this review and these release notes
