The lock screen replacement with ad, and automatic redirection to the Play Store upon unlocking. But the team behind ES File Explorer disagreed, and so DU Charge Booster appeared on my phone's lock screen whenever I plugged it in to charge.
If I install a file explorer, it's generally because I want a file explorer, not a charge booster. The final straw, and the reason for this article, is that ES File Explorer recently added another piece of bloatware: DU Charge Booster. But one thing is for sure: ES File Explorer has dug its own grave with comical rapidity. Where did it begin? Was it when the app was redesigned to be pretty but less functional? Or was it when, after loading the app up with ads and spammy notifications offering to clean your device, the developers announced, "we are about to launch a paid version"? It's hard to know for certain. As of tomorrow, ES File Explorer will no longer feature on any of our best-of lists. An app which we once described as, "the best way to keep your data organized on Android" has seen a catastrophic fall from grace over the past few months. Our best Android apps list alone has more than four millions page impressions, and we spend a lot of time testing the apps that we recommend there.
