The File Converter 7.5

Expensive app that comes with lots of purchases and not that many features
File conversion apps are really useful since they help you change the format of various files while keeping the information they contain. However, it's quite difficult to find an app that would help users do just that for free.

The File Converter app comes with some features, but it's filled with all sort of in-app purchases every step of the way. The app is pretty basic, with only a few features and lacks any sort of settings or a menu.

Simplistic interface with only a few features

The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient for new users. It could have used a short description with what the app could do.

It doesn't use material design nor does it have a side menu or any kind of settings that you can do to the interface. Still, you can use it to convert video, audio, images, documents, e-books and archives between nearly any file formats.

The home page is filled with shortcuts to all of its sections, you can manually pick files from your computer, browse through documents or paste and URL to convert. You can also convert files from other apps.

Convert files easily

The conversion is done easily, but you'll need to be patient and have internet connection since the app connects to an external server and then copies the converted files back to your phone. There are lots of formats that you can choose from, so every type of files and you can even create archives, or convert between archive formats.

The app supports ZIP, BZ2, 7Z, and GZ for that. The destination of the output file can't be changed, the app creates its own folder for that and keeps the original document. Converted files can be checked out in a separate section inside the app.

Many purchases

The app isn't completely free, it has a help section with instructions but they're only for premium users. It only lets you convert two files for free, afterward you'll need to buy the premium version. There are many options to get more credits and to be able to convert more files.

Subscribe for 2.59$ per month and get unlimited conversions, no ads, 1GB file limit and in-app help and support. You can also make a one time purchase of 4.95$ or get credits by watching ads or raking surveys.

Editor's Review
VERY GOOD

It seems to do the job for most file formats, but it only has two free credits.
