I think a new review of what’s available would be great.

One thing I’ve not been able to find much on in the reviews is whether the programme can reflow PDF’s. PDF’s are the bane of small devices. I don’t know how people manage to read long documents side-scrolling as well as scrolling down. There are now many apps which give a long list of formats that they can read, however I believe reflow to be an important criteria that seems little mentioned and would be good to add to a review.

However, since then, the options have increased quite a bit and it may be time for you to look at some others. WiFi Disk is $1.99 and certainly worth a look.

If you have memory problems, it may not be caused by FileMagnet but I haven’t used it in quite some time.

To avoid having to reboot, you might want to check out Memory Free or Memory & System Info. Each are $0.99.. Both will free your available memory by clearing out digital junk left behind when you close apps.

To be clear: I’m not saying FileMagnet is not at fault, only that there are many alternatives available now worth considering, for less money.

It’s got a slick interface and transfers more quickly than air sharing. However, there is one glaring flaw that everyone seems to gloss over. Any document over 3MB gets a constant, running out of memory error.

The developer’s solution is to reboot your device!

This problem does not occur with Air Sharing.

If you seriously want to use your device for reading documents then I’m afraid that FileMagnet does NOT cut the mustard. The developers keep promising to fix this but in the six plus months I’ve had the programme have failed to do so.

I use it to get my day’s list of assignments onto the iPhone and I like the options for how to scroll through a long file

as well as the tilt option you mentioned there is a ‘scrub bar’ which only appears when you tap the screen which allows quicker scrolling through a long docs than the usual flick method and also has a page at a time ‘button’

I’ve never had a crash on my old G4 Mac using the desktop client

all in all this app has made my life easier – and it supports the iPhone’s data detectors – so a phone number in a doc is highlighted and just has to be tapped to initiate dialling – life saver for me with my jobs lists

really great app – agree with your 9/10 mark

AS doesn’t require a client app on your desktop or laptop as I recall. And I think it was easier to flip through PDFs, but don’t hold me to it. It’s a couple more bucks than FM, for whatever that’s worth.

AS was free for a while, which no doubts accounts for its more glowing reviews than those of FileMagnet.
