The Good


Very intuitive interface, packed with features

The Not So Good


As it's still in Beta None really.

One of the most compelling reasons to use ES File Explorer, is because of its capabilities when it comes to altering features and whatnot regarding root access, but the UI is terrible. It’s got its own notepad editor for files, and you can create and edit within the app.

I found that the latest update to Solid Explorer can do this as well, and very nicely, too. It’s got a much better UI, and the dual pane system is so useful and helpful.
On top of that it’s got the intuitive drag and drop system we’re all used to. I think Solid Explorer has more features than ES does. Not forgetting the Windows Share support which  is very stable.
I’m not sure either if it was the first, but the implementation and the other features along with it (like the drag and drop ability) make it one of the best I’ve ever seen. It works great even on the Xoom, and gives me a reason to use landscape mode, with the dual pane.
Allows you to save the the current settings on exit. So you can have SD card on one pane and System on the other.

Conclusion:
I was not dissatisfied with other explorers but this is really good. Very intuitive interface but it’s not just looks, it’s packed with features too. Highly recommended and i am buying it when the final version arrives. This is really a solid app. It’s fast. It’s convenient. It’s full packed with features.
