### "Honestly too expensive to keep my membership." — 4.0/5

> **Tobey** | *11 April 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It can open and decipher most files. Many of the files that I wanted to open and decipher it still could not. That could be my fault for lack of training just to be fair.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to be able to read or have translated programming language into English so that I could know what a particular line was doing. I have no programming training, but I am very curious about the programs running on my machine that are taking up a lot of energy.
> 
> I enjoy file viewer plus. I wish it was less expensive. I did not like that. It tried to make itself the default file opener for many types of files that I had other viewers for particularly photo video. Easy things like that I did not need file viewer for those functions.
