App裡按是了還是不給登入

扯什麼簽章比對失敗,都按是了登入就好了,拒絕你媽呢(¬_¬)
況且我還是在ds finder裡要登入,用wifi定位還能定到新竹⋯⋯

Поломали всё к чертям

Разработчики, что вы наделали, после обновы ни одно ваше приложение не работает по мобильной сети, ни это, ни drive, ни photos! Не хорошие вы люди пускать в прод багованный код.

Kein Finder

Wenn ich die IP kenne, kann ich mit der App zugreifen. Früher konnte ich mit der App das Gerät und damit die IP suchen. Das geht aber nicht mehr. Sehr schade.

Impossible de s’y connecter

Impossible de m’y connecter parce que j’ai la fenêtre de saisie du code Secure SignIn qui s’affiche à chaque fois que je saisis un code (bon) et l’option « se souvenir de ce périphérique » ne fonctionne pas.

Obsolète !

Clairement, toutes vaut applications sont datées ! Vous devriez toutes les revoir et faire comme UGREEN qui sont bien plus moderne !
C’est bien dommage … Et j’espère vraiment que vous allez écouter tous les commentaires qui vous demandent de vous améliorer !

Merci
