This app works as shown in the screenshots - providing you information about any file. However, it overrides the system to open all files in this app! Any file that I hadn't set a default for (text file, movie, even photos), would open in this app instead of the app it was supposed to open with (like TextEdit, QuickTime, or Preview). In addition to being incredibly annoying, there's a big privacy issue here. There's no way to be sure that this app isn't sending reports on the files you open back to their servers, and if every file you open launches this app, then it's a big issue! The only way to fix this is to either delete the app or individually re-assign every file type. On top of this, the app pops up ads on occasion for other apps and products. These two issues are deceiving and not as advertised. Definitely uninstalling.

Every time I open this app, it advertises to me. It is more annoying than it is useful, and will be promptly deleted.

It seemed helpful when needed to give the information I was looking for about a file but it seemed to take over where I didn’t want it to.Double clicking on a file that should have a program correctly associated with it still opened in File Info Pro. And when I would get things correctly aligned using the program still had too many ads to try other programs. I would pay a small price just to strip away the ads, and wished it wouldn’t take over my file associations...

This app used to be really useful. It was one I used frequently and would have paid a dollar, or maybe two, for as a utility. With one of the recent updates though, it installed as the default viewer for almost every file type. The result is that almost every file you double-click on opens up to File Info Pro instead, along with several pop-up ads. You can reset the default app for a filetype by opening Get Info for that file in the Finder, changing the app in the Open With drop down, and clicking Change All. It’s annoying to have to do this, and they could reset it again with the next update. For me, the annoyance factor outweighs the utility for me at this point, so I've deleted the app.
