### "Daft Review Request"

June 11, 2024

3.0

Waste of time and money for me. Also this survey is poor as many of the fields do not have a "zero option" necessitating a meaningless fake entry just to proceed.

Pros

The one time I used it, it worked, but did not then use it for some time.

Cons

When I came to use it a second time it had logged me out and would not allow me to relog in without initial purchase details which I could not then find.

We appreciate the feedback Michael, but File Viewer Plus doesn't have a log out feature, so it's possible you're reviewing a different product.

### "Save time with technology"

March 28, 2023

5.0

Saves an extraordinary amount of time

Pros

Most love the ability for File Viewer Plus to translate/open content (from writing to images) that may have been created in a program I don't have, and or for some reason isn't working. In the past these glitches would cause hours of fiddling around that just wasted good time.

Cons

It looks a little clunky but works like a dream, so you can't ask more than that.

Reason for choosing File Viewer Plus

the product stood out as the most likely to help with the problems zi would encounter on a daily/ weekly basis

April 7, 2023

4.0

Mainly pleased with features offered

Pros

Ease of use and versatility. As I have already mentioned, I am retired and use this program for my own use therefore there is little I can add to meet your content minimum.

Cons

unable to switch from file to file. Having to re-activate program to go to another file

### "The file viewer to reach for when nothing else works!"

April 27, 2023

5.0

This is a program that fills a gap in dealing with files that your standard program might not operate.

Pros

Viewer is easy to use. When you have some questionable file, just hit this icon and the program will either open it right away or tell you it can't. I just tried to open some email files and it told me that it could not open those. I didn't really think it could open them, but I just gave it a try anyhow.

Cons

There is really nothing that I can think of. The program either works and opens the file quickly or it doesn't. It is not able to open every file there is like Dicom for example. Some security file are made to be opened only by the company that made them.

Response from Sharpened Productions

May 3, 2023

We're glad to hear you found File Viewer Plus easy to use and have been able to open a wide range of file formats with it. Like you mentioned, if the file format is not supported, the utility does its best to provide as much information about the file as possible.

It's been a useful tool
