Simple interface. I use it daily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Seems good BUT *2020-08-12, version 1.5.2* Seems very relevant so downloaded. Does not work. Not easy to setup by the average punter who wants to learn. Needs a ‘walkthrough’ to setup correctly. If it were provided may well be a different outcome. No help file/knowledge base to ask questions either. Interesting concept but unsuitable for the average ‘numpty’, like me. Add the above help and I would be prepared to give it another ‘go’. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with NETGEAR RN series NAS *2019-06-29* Will not connect on alternate port. Only connects to port 443. You can not modify port number in app as it refuses. ### 1/5 — No longer working...not connecting *2017-12-02* and no apparent support for the ReadyNAS 214....although it was working once...any clues? what broke? ### 1/5 — Needs a fix *2017-07-02* No longer connects needs a update ### 1/5 — No longer connects *2016-09-07* I have a readynas 202, worked flawlessly. Net gear upgraded their OS and mainly changed the login from a username/pass to an email/pass. Using the email pass just causes it to hang up and time out. I would gladly give 5 stars but since it can't even log on its a 1. Please please fix this! ### 1/5 — Very limited use *2015-10-12, version 1.0* Agree with other review. This app doesn't work. No facility to edit, no guidance on completion of NAS details, Every time I hit the test button I got an "unexpected error" message. No facility to return from a particular page. Needs a lot of work! ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2015-10-09, version 1.0* This app should have not been released yet, as a lot of work still needs to be done. E.g. You can add a NAS, but you cannot delete it, and you cannot edit details once you've created it. Some menu buttons disappear others never work... Total waste of time and space! ### 3/5 — Not working with 204 *2018-03-26* It connects but not displaying any information. Three stars for quick developer feedback. **Developer response:** Hi! This should be resolved in version 1.5.1, just released. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Nice app *2017-07-18, version 1.4* Great app if you manage multiple NAS units like I do. Get all the information you need, all in one place and on the go! ### 4/5 — Fantastic App *2015-09-06, version 1.0* Great simplistic app to allow me control with shutting down the NAS, also to check temperature gauge and to quickly view space across all connected drives. Don't know how Netgear can't make something this easy and stable. :) looking forward to any future improvements/enhancements. Thanks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just awesome *2020-10-28* Works extremely well and allows me to check on things without having to physically go to the box or a local pc. It helped me realize I had a bad drive and helped keep me from losing data. If I had a wish list of things I’d like to see in a future update: Status information, if the system is scanning a volume or anything else I can’t really tell. Direct access or link redirects to the add-on features console. A way to clear the logs Volume data and storage more front and center maybe on the main page along with any critical alerts. Notifications for status changes if a volume becomes degraded. Thanks to the dev!!! ### 5/5 — Beats NetGear by far! *2018-12-24, version 1.5.2* App is easy to setup and use. Fast operations and connections. Looks nice and has enough detail for me. Very happy ### 5/5 — Perfect *2018-05-19* Worked perfectly. Glad to have a replacement, much better one, to manage my NAS. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Works well. *2018-02-04* Primarily used for turning NAS (Netgear 314) on/off at unscheduled times. Works brilliantly. UI is rough but functional. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective. *2017-09-25, version 1.4* Had this app since the NAS almost 2 years. Simple and effective. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2017-04-18* Worked fine with my legacy ReadyNas Duo!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-03-13, version 1.4* Simple but effective, connected first time, (over a vpn), instant read out of stats, logs etc, with the option of reboots and other active controls. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-08-24, version 1.4* This app works well with my NAS (a truly ancient ReadyNAS Duo v1), and means I can monitor it remotely without having to deal with the web interface. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-06-10* It's so helpful, much better than what Netgear have developed.Thank you! ### 5/5 — Very handy *2016-05-18, version 1.4* This is a really useful app. Much easier than using the browser interface on an iPhone. Especially as it stores your credentials so you don't have to log in every time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
