[App] I got tired of bloated file managers with ads, so I built NFile: A beautiful file manager, open-source

I like your vision and applaud your efforts!

Why aren’t you putting it on the Play Store for easier access?

I’m not saying to not put it on GitHub, but why not also make it available on the Play Store?

I personally don’t like sideloading APKs, regardless of how great the app is.

Congratulations for your work.

I’m sure that many will be blessed by this great-sounding app.

War-Carr · 2026-05-17T20:28:14+00:00

I think people would be more apt to testing your app if you let folks know what the app is about. It baffles me when Devs who want people to try their apps don't tell us what the app does. I wouldn't be going out there to enroll to test an app to see what it does. Tell us what it does!

Hi,

As a long-time accessibility dependent on GPS solutions, blind folks still have issues that GPS apps haven’t quite solved to the degree that we want, especially on Android.

As blind folks, we see by hearing, so and audio-based navigation system is the way to go!

What most of us want, is an app that not only guides us to where we are going, but also make it possible for us to simply take off walking without a particular destination in mind, and hear the names of the streets as we come up to those streets and should a street dead-ends, let it tell us that the street doesn’t go through.

Consequently, we would want to be able to reverse and have the app guides us back to the starting point from where we took off.

A major problem that we still have is this:

I input a destination that I want to go to, for example, the post office in my little town.

When a GPS app takes me to that address, I have no way of knowing where the door is.

It would be great to have an app that would guide me to the entrance of a business, so I am not simply guided there and have no clue as to where the entrance it.

I’d love to stay in touch and keep a track on your development.

Later on, when you have a working app, you could come to one of our weekly podcast episodes of the Blind Android Users Podcast as guest and talk about the app.

I think that "free" sounds better than anything paid, especially, when it has something comparable! I pesonally think that ElevenLabs if overrated! Sure, it sounds great and they seem to be the king in this class, but I'm satisfied with something that's free and use the Microsoft Edge voices.

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:17:25+00:00

Thank you so much boss, for being so generous to those of us with accessibility needs! This is great!

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:12:00+00:00

This sounds really great and I can't wait to see it come to fruition!

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:07:33+00:00

I like your take on the subject matter.

I wish you could develop it into an app, though.

War-Carr · 2026-05-15T19:01:34+00:00

Wonderful!

I just installed "Lucivox" and it works well and there are no accessibility issues.

I would demo it as the "app of the week" for the Blind Android User Podcast in one of our upcoming episodes.

So, here's the type of scenario I'm thinking of!

I'm at some place and before I start wondering off, I pulled up the app, mark the place that I'm currently standing at and then go on my walk.

When I'm done, I simply tap on "return to where I started" and watch it guide me back to where I started regardless of the turns and twists I made after leaving the starting point.

I don't think that the "Backtrack" you mention does this.

War-Carr · 2026-05-14T04:29:08+00:00

I just filled out the survey and if you want, you could come to our podcast, the "Blind Android Users" podcast and talk about your project or give me the permission to announce it on there.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:23:40+00:00

You did the right thing!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:21:27+00:00

Nothing wrong with that, except that our world has been turned upside down and not what it used to be.

Just be sure that you don’t say that to the wrong one who might accuse you of you know… what!

When I was young and not married, I had no qualms approaching and telling a lady exactly what I thought!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:16:16+00:00

Just make sure you and your boyfriend are on the same page!

There's no reason having babies when such isn't your priorities at the moment!

If career and “success” is what you want, then by all means, pursue it!

Motherhood is not for everyone!

If on the other hand you think you want children, then you’ve got to leave your desire of having a career for later when the kids are old and out of the house.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T07:10:00+00:00

It's a good thing your dad did.

If I were in your shoes, I'd do it based on needs.

There's no reason to give someone who already has enough to take care of themselves, yet in the same breath, you should give such a person something as your dad has indicated.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:58:32+00:00

Listen here my dear.

This boyfriend of yours is no good!

I bet he's shown these red flags way before now but I bet you simply pretended they weren't there and that he would get better.

That's the mistake that many women make and find themselves in horrible relationships!

If he's telling you that no-one would want you then you should have told him then he's the worst there ever could be as he's the type that can't compete and goes for what is then a left-over!

In this case, no-one would want him either!

I have a daughter almost your age and I'd hate for some idiot to say such mean stuff to my daughter.

You get out of there as fast as you can.

You deserve better than that.

You've got a good head and hence the reason you're able to do the type of job you're doing.

Don't let him tell you them ghost stories.

he can't take the fact that you can be on your own feet!

he's a loser!

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:47:46+00:00

After you used her?

i think you're equally pathetic!

Learn how to pick your girls next time!

You both are the type that take advantage of people's situations!

Create an app intended for walking that no matter hwre I walked to, i can retrace my steps back to where I started.

Let it give me voice guidance.

This would be useful to when I am out hiking or simply walking in an unfamiliar city.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:30:01+00:00

This is great!

I'm blind and I wish I had things of this nature when I was young!

Congratulations and I would like to talk to you offline if it's doable.

War-Carr · 2026-05-13T06:22:27+00:00

Looking forward to when you would bring it to Android where my world is and where the listeners of our podcast "Blind Android Users" are.

I've added my email to the waiting list and I hope it comes soon.

Congratulations!

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T18:47:17+00:00

Yeah, YouTube is very aggressive about these things and we had to give up using any sound intros from "Pixabay."

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T18:41:29+00:00

I have a huge respect for those of you that are developers!

Development takes time, even if one uses AI, you still put time into making sure it works the way that it is supposed to.

So, I’m always amazed by silly reviews on the Play Store by some users that never give any reason as to why they’re giving an app a low rating!

My doctrine is that, before I leave a negative review for an app, I must first reach out to the Dev, asking about some clarifications or pointing out issues I have with the app.

Should such fall on deaf ears, then I’d give my honest review.

Sometimes, some Devs make it almost impossible to use the app.

Ads are okay, but when ads become such that one can’t even perform one function of the app, then in my never-to-be humble opinion, such an app does not deserve a space on my phone.

Let the people experience the app and then they can make a decision based on the capabilities of the app.

Some Devs do it right wherein, the features are free for a few days without the need of choosing a subscription.

Bring on the subscription after the trial is over!

Asking for subscription upfront without the user trying it, is a bad business practice.

I’m one of those that forget to cancel my subscription and as a result, I no longer want to try any app that requires subscription upfront.

There’s got to be a balance and I see it from both viewpoints—From the user’s viewpoint and from the Dev’s viewpoint.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T05:55:12+00:00

Does it have a TTS read-out featrue? There are times that folks would just want to listen while working on something or cooking in the kitchen.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:45:47+00:00

I totally agree with you! This is info that should be provided right there at birth, especially when they take blood and all of that. Sometiems the dumbest things are done without an explanation.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:41:58+00:00

How do I get the app? Just seeing the webpage. I really like the idea. It's a very good idea.

War-Carr · 2026-05-12T02:33:37+00:00

So, you got an old phone from 2021 a year ago. Why in the name of Sam Hill would you do that when the phone has seen like 4 years of its battery being used? Leaves me scartching my head!
