File manager & App manager which can explore the phones & computers. Gathers data for advertising trackers, but doesn't display ads in main interface.

review: ES File Explorer is useful for navigation of the Android file system. Allows connection to PC file shares on a LAN! (the key feature). Allows bookmarking internal memory or SD card paths, and LAN paths. There are very few android apps capable of viewing and accessing files from a Microsoft Windows network share. ES File Explorer can access files on a Windows share in a view only, local caching capacity. Due to the advertising trackers and no pay upgrade option this app loses review points.

update: ES File Explorer is getting better (for the most part) and we have upgraded it from 2 stars to 3 stars. Network browsing is now faster. The UI has improved and it is now easier to copy and move files to Microsoft Windows LAN shares. The built in image viewer is still partially broken when used to view images on a LAN share.
