### 1/5 — SO MUCH LIMITATIONS

*2026-02-06*

Allow us to have more then one window open to compare and be an ADVANCED user

Anyone with a NAS is clearly an Advanced User because they had to manually set it up with Hard Drives, also there is NO good reason why the window size is locked on the aspect ratio, allow me to make the window the size that I want so that I can drag and drop with ease, speaking of such if I duplicate the app I also can’t have two running instances to move files and COMPARE files to find duplicates on my drive…. SERIOUSLY……

### 3/5 — Where’s the Port Forwarding information?

*2024-12-11*

Can only view content while using home WiFi. The point of such app is to remote content away from the home! Need Port Forwarding info/capability.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2023-12-26, version 2.9.4*

No issues, great for a free app.

### 5/5 — Better than Qfile

*2022-05-10*

This version is better and faster than QNAP’s Qfile.

### 1/5 — Did not detect my NAS

*2019-04-28, version 2.0.1*

.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother.

*2019-03-17*

Doesn’t work what so ever. Why is it even in the App Store?

### 1/5 — Guess what. Doesn’t work

*2018-01-01, version 2.0.1*

And I doubt it ever did. So much for apple’s sandboxing

### 1/5 — A bust.

*2017-12-28*

Ditto the previous review: not even a little.

### 2/5 — Does not connect

*2017-05-07, version 2.0.1*

Will not see my nas even when I manually input the IP address and credentials

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-10-22, version 2.0.1*

As per the other reviewers, simply does not work. Will not connect to my ReadyNAS with the correct login details.
