FX (Beta)

FX has just been released as a BETA on the Android market. It may not yet be available on all phones/tablets as the Android market can take some time to index new applications. Documentation and support materials are being uploaded to this site and will be available soon.

FX is a file manager / media manager with networking capabilities designed to let you quickly and easily manage all content on your phone / tablet.
