A sobering statistic:

Trump won with the support of just 75 million votes in a country with 335 million citizens.

In other words, just 22 percent of the US citizens decided to drive the country off a cliff, and everyone else is now going down with them.

All of the digital assistants appear to be degrading to me. I suspect directing consumers to paid ‘AI’ versions which allegedly work, are the corporate plan.

You may have overlooked Snapseed. Free as in beer, surprisingly full featured.

Artificial marketing segmentation by selling obsolete tech taken to bloody extremes. USB 2.0 is an insult

Thanks for your suggestion. It’s not listed in my App Store (Australia)

Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

• Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

You want the app by Stratospherix

‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).

Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.

• This is the app by Stratospherix. There are imitators in the App Store

Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.

I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.

Waze has a toggle called ‘avoid difficult intersections’.
