### 2/5 — Dislike Find App

*2021-01-27*

Too slow and takes too long.

### 1/5 — Trash!!

*2021-01-12*

CRAPPY APP DOESNT DO ANYTHING! doesnt detect the server i download, not very much info about how to set it up, followed all details still doesnt work wasted 5 bucks for nothing.

### 1/5 — Total waste of money

*2017-08-16*

There is nothing good in this app
Awfully slow
Doesn't open files more than 100 mb
Crashes everytime
I don't understand for what are they demanding 400 ₹ for this app

### 5/5 — Find it

*2017-05-11*

Excellent app

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-09-25*

This is an useless app that I used to buy. Every body shouldn't buy this until they make show you in a video how it work. It is useless...

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-08-17*

I heard about this on Product Hunt and it looks amazing. I cannot get it to sync with my Mac following the instructions. Cannot find my IP address. The desktop app gives you five other options to try. This app is far from simple. Would be great if it had an easy set up. I spent 10 minutes on it and I give up.

### 1/5 — No confirmation, insecure data

*2016-08-15*

There is no confirmation of any sort if its connected, or warning before shutting doen my mac. wont connect to the server. Should have used bar code or something, dont users to type in ipv6 ip addressed correctly everytime. Very poor experoence.

### 3/5 — Connected to server but search won't work

*2016-07-12*

Awesome app but the search doesn't seem to work. I tried both search domains (Desktop and ~/Desktop) nothing appears when I search. The shut down and sleep controls work fine though.

### 1/5 — Dud

*2016-07-03*

Can't get a connection between iPhone and Mac. Just a message which says "Something is wrong". Very helpful.
