Rclone UI is live on Google Play and the App Store!

Note: The app connects to a remote rclone instance (like your server or laptop). It does not run the cli on your phone.
Don't put too much stock in the Android app.
I paid for it and installed it. It was last modified in January of this year and it is not a standalone rclone software app for Android.
It is designed merely to interact with the software you have installed on your desktop and requires that you be connected to the same network as your desktop.
You cannot use it away from home and you cannot upload files from the local phone to a Cloud Drive.
RSAF and Roundsync are REAL rclone on Android apps.
Don't pay the $2.
Perhaps it will get better in the future but for now it isn't worth it. It does Nothing. I wish I could get my $2 back.
welcome to the forum,
@Mary2, thanks for reporting that to us.
@rclone-ui, is all that true?
@rclone-ui, how can a forum member get a refund?
Simple. The company sells the software through Google Play it has nothing to do with the Forum user. The $2 would need to be refunded through my Google Play account or some other way.
yes, we all understand that.
yet, you wrote " I wish I could get my $2 back.", as if you could not get your money back.
so i just want to be sure you did not experience an issue.
Hi,
Hi,
I have made a few purchases over the years on Google Play. Google usually gives you no more than 48 hours to request a refund from Google.
I was not aware for the first several days that the product does nothing for me or anyone else. The developer releases regular updates to the desktop product but has done nothing for 6 months with the Android app development.
Beyond the first couple of days Google doesn't issue refunds. The only advice they offer is to contact the developer directly.
So, I am in the process of drafting an email to the address they have in Google Play for the developer. I will let you know what comes from that.

the developer is a forum member and sponsor, so we want to make sure forum members are treated well.
so please, let us know your progress.
Thank you 
That's correct, refunds on the mobile stores are done through the platforms themselves. It's a self-serve process that you do in your Google account in this case. Do note that you may get less than the two dollars ($2) you spent as the store may keep processing fees, haven't done one yet so we'll see.
The app gets updates constantly through OTA updates. What you see in Google Play is the last store submission that occurs when a native dependency is updated.
The goal is to provide functionality that other apps do not, namely to control remote RC instances. As was mentioned, if you need a local rclone instance running on your phone there are other solutions.
@Mary2 I got no email from you but feel free to send a DM if you need further assistance 
imo, that post in the forum, and the actual google play store page, are very misleading.
please, can you make clear what the mobile app does and does NOT do?
and/or delete that post.
thanks

Yup, of course
I've edited the quoted post and will update the store description in the next update.
Appreciate the feedback, cheers!
3.6.0 has been released!
Highlights: a fix for mounting on startup (one of the most liked features of Rclone UI), as well as the addition of rclone link directly in the Commander, for sharing your files with others!
Update straight from the app or view on Github 
First of all, thanks for all the updates and ongoing work on the software. I really like what you are building. @rclone-ui
That said, I think the website could be much more informative for new users, especially around the free version, paid licence, and future functionality.
At the moment, the website says:
“No trial or ads
Forever free, with the option to unlock deeper functionality and gain access to future updates such as a mobile client, file commander, serving and more.
You can also get a license that works on all OSes at the same time, starting at just $7.”
For someone new visiting the website, this does not really explain what they actually get. It is not clear what the free version includes, what the limitations are, what the paid licence unlocks, or what the difference is between subscription and lifetime options.
It would be really helpful to have a simple overview table on the website showing:
Free version
Paid/subscription version
Lifetime licence
What features are included
What limitations apply
What future features are planned or included
This would make it much easier for new users to understand the value of the software before downloading it.
I also think this would help with trust. I have already seen a few Reddit threads where people mention that the website looks suspicious or unclear because the website does not properly explain the free version, limitations, or paid features upfront. That kind of uncertainty can put people off, even if the software itself is good.
For GitHub releases, it would also be great if the changelogs were more specific. For example, instead of only writing “Bug squashing & improvements”, it would be much more useful to mention what bugs were fixed or what improvements were made. Even a few bullet points would make releases feel more transparent and professional.
I really like the software and want to see it succeed. I just think the current website undersells it by not making the feature differences and licence details easy to access.
Ps: Also in the day and age of AI this shouldn’t take less then 1h to write up a comparison and what you get and not get via ChatGPT or others
