    Warning, the reaction to massive security issues in a bundled PDF reader of the file manager made me uninstall all of these apps. Safety of my device and data is paramount.

    https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss... where the developer shows no grasp of security "what can happen to an app without internet access?"

    A "simple" file manager should not come with a PDF reader.

    I would stay clear of anything released by simple mobile tools for 2 reasons. Reason 1. They deceptively added a unannounced "free trial" and effectively force you to pay for the app unexpectedly or switch calendars and 2. The developer addimently refused to update the apps libraries, despite those libraries containing known vulnerabilities, until f-droid and the community pressured them into updating. https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/issues/656

    I'm cautious about recommending the "Simple" suite of apps as well, after the whole Simple File Manager fiasco. There was a vulnerability in the app's PDF viewer, to which the developer responded saying "I don't understand those geeky things there", then months later denied the vulnerability existing. I believe that the vulnerability was fixed, but this is definitely not a great look for the developer, and made me lose trust and confidence in them. I prefer Aves Libre over Simple Gallery anyways, has a nicer, more modern, UI and features imo.

    I was reading https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/issues/619 and it really looks like people are over reacting and he handles the pressure very well that some people want to push upon him. And the problem was even solved in last weeks commit.
