    Worked for a bit, then lines in compare showing "?" as no ? in either file. Several editors showed no "?" nor extra lines. Tch tch Update or stagnate. 7 years is long enuff. Would actually PAY if it worked ! Lost another star as android 11 incompatible. Wants permissions...

    Says it doesn't have storage access. I gave it storage access. No root request came up either. I'm on Android 10.

    Can't view some storage on Android 11 on 2.08 so I have to use 2.07 & deal with the 60sec wait time to compare.

    Excellent and unique app ! I was looking for such a tool for Android and I'm happy for having found this one. It does the job perfectly, has no ads nor unnecessary permissions and is kindly provided for free. The crazy screen scrolling and pinch zoom is really odd and we need to get used to that, but this does not defeat app's primary function. Thanks dev for creating this app.

    OK - love this! Only took me a minute or so to figure out the GUI - but once I did, I loved it. Exactly what I was looking for - I use Beyond Compare on my windows machines and needed something for my Android devices. I do freelance work and needed something to transfer my work product and timesheets between multiple devices to keep them all up to date! This works! Also - now with this, I only have to SyncTunes one of my Android devices (like my phone) and then use this DiffTool to update my tablets! Finally! Thanks!

    This was exactly what I was looking for to compare my README on my GitHub to that of what was on my phone. The UI needs some work. If it wasnt for the 10K downloads, I wouldnt have downloaded this because of how the UI looks. I really like how there is an option there to use what is on the clipboard. The scrolling is really touchy. I have a feeling that may be so you can quickly scroll to the bottom quicker. Zooming in and out needs work as well. Will definitely keep using this app.

    Tried to compare two 4MB photos: one with EXIF data, one without it - stopped and installed the app after it had taken 20 minutes just to parse half of the files. Looks like as a binary comparerer it's not yet there. Still will leave a 5 star rating because the app doesn't need an internet connection and has minimum permissions.

    Great and unique app! Nothing else like it on Play Store—or, at least for Android, anywhere else AFAIK. The dev has stated that this app is about functionality and *not* about being pretty, and I wholeheartedly agree. This thing just works.

    I was looking for a merge/diff tool to compare two folders with lots of images in subfolders, to find the one or two images with minor differences. This did the job perfectly, and I'll be using it quite a bit. Sure, the UI could be better, but this tool saves me a lot of time, so I'm quite happy with it.

    The user interface is bizarre yet quite usable. I wish i could set a dark background. But it does what I wanted and seems to do so very well so I'm happy :-). Rare case to find a good android app without ads and nonsense, so a well deserved 5 stars.
