### 1/5 — No longer works with 26.4

*2026-04-28, version 4.5.7*

I have two iPhones. The one with iOS 26.4 doesn’t work anymore. It can’t find the Qnap and if I use the IP it fails to login. My other phone with iOS 18.7, it works just fine. So 1 star based on my phone with 26.4.

### 1/5 — Connecting is a nightmare

*2026-03-22, version 4.5.7*

Why is it so unnecessarily complicated?

### 5/5 — Great Interface

*2026-02-25, version 4.5.5*

Very Good app for accessing my files in real time!

### 5/5 — Easy to access and work with files

*2025-12-25, version 4.5.4*

I find this app very good for accessing my files, transferring and working on them. Able to set up both local and network access separately.

### 4/5 — Login issues

*2025-11-30*

App takes longer to login even in local network. And it keeps logging out when switching to another app and also when device locked. So background sync is not working with current version. Please fix.

From user experience point of view, it would be good to have the app detect network speed and select the video streaming resolution automatically. It’s not user friendly to select variable streaming quality for every video.

### 2/5 — Extract files does not work.

*2025-11-04, version 4.5.3*

When trying to extract zip files it schedules a job that doesn’t exist or completes. I have to reboot the NAS and then it works for a while.

### 3/5 — Cuts off first bit of MP3 files.

*2025-11-01, version 4.5.3*

This version and the one prior cut off the first 1/2 second or so of MP3 files when using it to play offline files. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Best NAS storage for home

*2025-09-25*

I use to have a Synology NAS. Which was really nice. But the QNAP model, which was the same price as the Synology was a lot more power due to its stronger processor. While I was out working in the field. The QNAP responded better, quicker. A Course I could have spent more money and upgraded to a better Synology for better results. But I wanted to stick to my budget. QNAP’s are very nice, great features!!!

### 2/5 — 你们倒是更新啊

*2025-09-21, version 4.5.2*

有点压力好不好，这么难用

### 4/5 — Bugs still found even after many rounds of software updates

*2025-08-23, version 4.5.1*

if you first select photos from the iPhone then click top arrow key to select Qfile Pro application to copy these files to a QNAP NAS, the Qfile Pro does not return a message to confirm whether these files have been uploaded successfully or not.
