Pros I enjoy the ease and convience of using the app. I am able to read, open and view files that previously I had not been able to. I also like the ease of converting files which is a big help. In the past it has really been a time-consuming struggle when trying to convert files. This feature saves me time and energy. Lastly, I enjoy the ability to translate documents and I can use the app on the go or at home. In addition to the ability to easily access work. Cons Does not convert all files and I need to add more software for more features. I wish it connected to my cloud on my iphone. I wish it had a scanner when opening files and I dont like that when opening files I cannot see items right away. Delays are inevitable however at times it is slow moving. I wish the trial was a little longer and of course you feel douped into buying it to access more complex features.

Retired Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome for checking files that may be suspect" March 31, 2023 5.0 I have a large collection of files dating back to the 1980s, and I'm sorting through them to determine what to keep and what can be discarded. FVP allows me to inspect the files and without risking my system. I don't have to use my browser to open HTML files that might link to bad content. I can view Office files without worrying about macros. Some of the older files have unrecognizable extensions, and FVP can help me determine the purpose of the file and whether I should explore it further. Pros It allows me to view the content of almost all files on my computer without having to open the usual applications, meaning faster access with lower risk. Cons It was a bit challenging to get it to open properly from ZTreeWin, my preferred file organization tool, but once I did, it has worked very well. Review Source AA Ashley A.
