OK but needs work
Loaded up my videos to the drive and setup was fine but no sound. Unbelievable that mp4 and m4v files have great video but no sound.
Good but not Great
The app is great. Has the basics. You have folders you go through find what you want (ie music > artist > album > song > play). One really bad thing about it is that once a song is playing you cannot go back and browse through for other songs. You have to stop the song then go browse. Please fix this!!!!! Second thing missing is a search area. I have 80 GB of music. It gets annoying having to scroll all the way to find a artist. Search would be perfect! Please make it feel like our music on iPhones where you have options to go through artists or albums and even the little a-z on the side you can just click to jump to that letter artist. It's a good start but needs some more work.

App Needs Work
The device works fine.
The app needs work:
1. The wifi connection asks for a password every time it connects.
2. When disconnected the app tries to connect every time it is opened. So if you copy files to your iPad (which you must do with large files) before opening them in another app (such as iAnnotate) you have to wait for the attempted connection to timeout before proceeding with each file.

First impressions
So I've recently purchased the voyager air drive for mobile media storage. As this app is the access portal for Ios devices I will restrict my comments to the app as much as possible.
The interface is utilitarian and if you don't have a lot of odd media to search through works well for video access. Haven't loaded any pictures/documents onto it and so cannot comment, though there does seem to be a fairly straight forward process to upload pictures and video from your ios device. I was unable to upload any documents (air share/notes etc.)
More integration into the "open in" would make this a much more viable app/hardware combo.
Having recently purchased an airport express and configuring it with my iphone for a non-network connected setup ie. wireless streaming to the AE network yet retaining 4g/lte coverage for maps/internet etc. I was a bit confounded as to how I would set this up to incorporate the voyager, there are no easily identifiable network management abilities in the app to accomplish this that I can find as yet, my dream of the mobile airplay seems to still be in the works.
One rather glaring problem is with the edit lockout option. I was confused by this toggle. Simply, you toggle it on or off. This is supposed to keep people you allow to connect to the voyager from deleting/modifying the content on the device you've given them access to.
Example: I create the network password and log in through the app, I then enable the edit lockout(toggle), and you wish to join the network on your ios device...of course you'll need to be using this app.
The problem is that the password to the wifi connects you, and when you load up the app to access the hard drive you have COMPLETE access to settings, wifi password, basically the entire bag of goodies. You could toggle the edit lockout off if you wished and delete everything on the drive, you could change the wifi password and effectively lockout anyone without physical possession of the drive to reset it.
All in all I'm fairly happy with the functionality of the app with their hardware for my purposes, I don't plan on sharing much;), but these things could use some work, most importantly the edit lockout, as it would be awkward for you to have to deal with that one prankster buddy who just can't resist the delete button.

Constant crashes
Every time I attempt to watch a video the app crashes. Worthless.
Works well with Corsair Voyager Air
Easy to use. Needed to go online to help figure a few things out. Love my new wifi hard drive. Works great.
Good app for great device
App works well with the corsair voyager air. UI is simple and easy to use. Only issue is IOS users need to use third party media player to playback avi, mkv, and other video format not supported by apple. I use 8player lite it works well but you have to download video clip instead of streaming directly for voyager air. Download time is pretty fast 5 minutes for a 1 gb movie. Overall very good app.

Not compatible with MKV
The apps doesn't work with MKV format
Great Solution
This device is amazing. You can hook it up to an existing network and share all your media. Or it can be a standalone wireless media streamer. Can't wait to try it out on my next road trip. My only gripe is it lacks parental controls. It would be nice to restrict what songs or movies my kids could access while the device is mobile.

So easy to use
Great app, easy setup with my brand new Corsair Voyager and the app immediately links and all organised as set out when I uploaded the files from my pc. My own home media streaming network without having to have a network! Highly recommended
