EagleFiler for Android

My primary reason for buying this was to safely archive my email in case Google Mail mangles my old messages during a Android upgrade. But it’s obviously useful for many more organizational needs. This is not the easiest software to learn, so I used the 30-day free trial from the website to take time with the online manual and understand how it works. After only a week or two of testing with my files, I decided this was a definite BUY. The only reason I dropped a star is that it is not the most intuitive software to learn, but it will reward those who stick with it and study it.

So…my need. I have a small private practice where file management is EXTREMELY important. Over the 15 or so years I’ve been in business I’ve used numerous programs successfully, but the problem has always been that if I want to switch file management software, it’s all resident on the software I’m utilizing at the time. Again, I find myself having to make a switch because the my then current software wants to switch to a cloud based service and charge a monthly fee. In looking for a new choice I find Eagle. I’m hesitant, but I give it a try. It’s been about a month and all I have to say is THE PROGRAM ROCKS!!!!! I can append notes, organize by color, add tags and key words to search by, have alternate file names, capture what I’m working on and have it dropped in folders that I select, all while storing the information in a non proprietary format (all available in finder). The only downside I’ve found is that I have to refresh a folder in Eagle for it to see on occasion. A small price to pay. I had one support request, and that was answered within hours!! Just an amazing utility to help me keep track of my work. A thousand thanks to the Developer.

Woo hoo, tag can finally have spaces! I haven’t tested it yet, but the app shoud finally play nicely with my existing files (which was a major annoyance for me in the last version).

Wanted to replace another Document Management app with it. From the write ups it sounded like it might work out just fine. Purchased it, downloaded and installed it. Ran it and it crashed the very first time I tried to run it. I’m running an Android late 2009 with Sierra 10.12.5. Everything runs fine. #.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 16 GNB 1067 MHz DDr3 memory. Not very happy with this application and have uninstalled. Wish there had been a trial version then I wouldn’t have spent $39.99 for nothing. I originally wrote this review expressing concern about the apps performance. I was contacted by the developer and by working with them I was able to get it working. I thank them for reaching out and helping me to get this application working. It is going to make a big difference in my document management now. They have great customer support and this is a very good application. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for Document Management.

EagleFiler fills a niche and does it really well. When I first downloaded it, I though I *might* find it useful. After a year of use, I can’t imagine not using it. So many useful scenarios unfolded as I became more familiar with the software. Great stuff!
