Help & Support Guide

Having trouble restoring purchases or accessing paid features? This guide will help you resolve common issues and ensure you get the full benefits of your purchase. Purchases—whether a paid app or in-app purchase—are linked to the specific marketplace (Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store) where the transaction occurred.

AnExplorer is available in three versions on Google Play: AnExplorer (Free), AnExplorer Free (Alternate Free) , AnExplorer Pro (Paid)


Common Issues

Purchased the Paid Version but Installed a Free Version

You purchased AnExplorer Pro but later installed one of the free versions, so the paid features aren’t available.

  1. Uninstall the free version from your device.
  2. Download and install AnExplorer Pro from the marketplace where you made your purchase.
  3. Ensure you are logged in with the same account used for the purchase.

Purchased In-App Features in One Free Version, But Installed the Alternate Free Version

You made an in-app purchase in one free version and then switched to the other free version, where the purchase isn’t recognized.

  1. Reinstall and use the free app in which you originally made the in-app purchase.
  2. Open the app and use the "Restore Purchases" option (if available).
  3. Confirm you are signed in with the same account you used for the purchase.

Installed the App from a Different Marketplace

You made your purchase on one marketplace (e.g., Google Play) and later installed AnExplorer from another (e.g., Amazon Appstore or Samsung Galaxy Store). The purchase doesn’t carry over.

  1. Marketplace purchases are bound to the specific marketplace.
  2. Please reinstall the app from the same marketplace where you made your original purchase.
  3. Verify that you are using the correct account for that marketplace.
