Not even a little

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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……

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-10-02, version 2.0.1*

The app does not work.  Put details of my NAS into and got an error message 'failed to connect'  put exactly the same details into safari and logged in without a single problem.  The app is useless, don't bother with it

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2016-09-19, version 2.0.1*

Useless on the iPad Mini 2. Using FTP instead.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-07-07, version 2.0.1*

Can't connect local NAS.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-07-06, version 2.0.1*

Can't find anything, even on simple home networks. Garbage!

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 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
