There's not much more to say about iExplorer itself. There is no Windows version, however, so if that's important to you, PhoneDisk might be a better choice. I have written about PhoneView before, and it continues to be my 'go to' app. If you do decide to upgrade, I'd suggest checking out PhoneView which does a whole lot more than just mount the iOS device. For a program that you keep in your 'tech support tool belt' for occasional use only, these are minor annoyances.

Otherwise there's a window that covers up the application each time it launches. Even if you don't want to upgrade, you'll still run into a mild case of the 'nags.' While iExplorer is offered for free, the developers ask that you spread the word by posting a message on Twitter or Facebook. Some of those features are even shown within the iExplorer UI, and when you click on them, a prompt appears to upgrade. Let's be clear: iExplorer is a simple application which is designed to do only two things: a) mount your iOS devices like a basic USB 'thumb' drive and b) persuade you to consider upgrading to the company's PhoneDisk (US$20) program, which has more features. I found what I was looking for in iExplorer (formerly 'iPhone Explorer') from Macroplant. This isn't something I'll do often so I was looking for something easy and free.

I needed to use an iPod touch as a USB drive to copy files between my Mac and my brother's Windows 7 computer. Like most technically-inclined folks, I found myself doing a little family tech support over the holidays.
