Reviews of Server

  • App Suits Purpose

    This server app suits the purpose, and so will consider upgrading for purchase (as to developer really isn’t making much out of this and is deserving of. Thanks)
  • Any Updates?

    To The Developer: Do you plan on releasing any updates to this app?

    Developer Response

    Hello, what updates would you expect?
  • Doesn’t work well with media

    My tablet refused to recognize small mp4 files I have in a folder in my phone or iPad. Also no bonjour support so you always must use an ip address… not that it matters if it’s not worth starting up anyway.

    EDIT:: yes it’s worth the review since it doesn’t work for it’s stated/intended purpose.

    Developer Response

    And that’s your reason for ruining my app’s rating?
