Introduction
As simple as its name suggests, this iPhone and iPad file manager app provides users with a powerful yet easy-to-use set of tools for downloading and managing all manner of file types, from music and videos to PDF, iWork, and MS Office documents.

I’d say that probably three quarters of the file manager apps that I review have more or less the same level of functionality, so the defining point for me is usually the way in which everything has been presented in each individual app for managing your files.
With this in mind, I’d say that the iFile iPad app is a solid choice because it looks great and features a very slick and modern interface design that I think you guys will find to be a real pleasure to use.
This app definitely receives my recommendation as I think you should download it and begin managing files using this app today.
Import and Export Files With Ease
iFile enables you to import and export files via a variety of mediums. You can do this with a USB cable by using iTunes file transfer, with Bluetooth, and also with Wi-Fi transfer. You can also create a handy digital backup copy of your files via Dropbox and iCloud if you prefer.

Printing and emailing of documents is also supported, so these are yet more ways in which files can be exported.
There is also an integrated web browser, which I think runs just a little bit more smoothly than Safari and offers plenty of download capability so that you can easily grab any files you need directly from the Internet.
Keep Your Files Neat and Tidy
This app features an in-app PDF reader with which you can bookmark pages so that you don’t lose your place in an eBook or other document. The image clarity is also of a pretty high standard, so your eyes should have no trouble adjusting when you’re reading slightly longer pieces.

Final Words
iFile is a decent enough addition to the Utilities category of the App Store, and I think it should serve you just fine as your go-to file manager on your iPhone and iPad.
Sorting, viewing, and moving your files to and fro is child’s play with this app, and although you can find similar developments at a slightly lower cost, I absolutely think that the price tag of $1.99 is more than justified.
