Amazing Server

Everything you need out of a home server! I love this thing.

Very good

This app pairs seamlessly with your ZimaOS server, cool that you can do photo backups and check the stats of the server. I really like this and i think it deserves a good review

Insanely good

I have no idea how this is so seamless it’s beautiful

What an amazing app.

This app (alongside all connected softwares) has made the process of getting into homelabbing a breeze. The amount of setup needed to achieve something even remotely similar to this would take a beginner months to figure out. The UI and UX are clean, easy, and absolutely beautiful. Truly appreciative to the team for creating such a beautiful product.

Best storage device

I have configured my zimaboard for my computer as a storage device and have added a few apps to it. Works great for my everyday use and can access it remotely when on the go.

Good but lacking something’s

I would say that ZimaOS is a very good operating system, it’s very good for beginners however, I will say that it lacks certain features, like for example on demand VPN, photo settings and more and I feel like the settings are very lackluster. It doesn’t give the user much power.

great app

great for nas management, cant wait to see its future

Great But Issues

The app looks great and is very useful, but the offline downloads feature seems to be broken.

I have several folders that have been completely downloaded, and the files show the download icon. But when I tap them in the app, they’re still trying to load in real time.

It would also be useful to be able to find downloaded files inside the Files app, without having to browse through the NAS mount. They should show up in a separate “On My iPhone” folder like other apps have.

Best do it all NAS

Best way to setup a self hosted cloud storage without any stressful coding. Highly recommended

Thank you so much for your support! If you have any suggestions or new feature requests regarding iOS, please feel free to reach out to us at feedback@zimaos.com.

The easiest home server OS and App

This platform is so awesome. Highly recommend! Great support team too. They are so nice and helpful. The OS works like a charm and the companion app is icing on the cake. Give it a shot!

Amazing app

Great app to check your server, easy and intuitive

Good on iPhone … Unless on iPad

Needs a tablet view for iPad, as it is currently useless on a tablet as its just the iPhone client.

The new zima vpn connection is a terrible idea

While i can understand the intent of it, the implementation is terrible. I dont trust Icewhale enough to route traffic thru their system and i dont like getting knocked off my existing VPN the process. You cant even use the app unless you allow their connection config to be added and automatically connected to

Response from developer

Hi gryffonx, thank you for your feedback. Actually, you can completely bypass Zima VPN. Here's how: 1. Go to "My Devices" and long-press on your device. 2. Disable the VPN option. 3. Enter your device's local IP address in the Direct IP field. This way, the app can connect directly to your device and your existing VPN will be completely unaffected. If you still don't understand, please contact community@icewhale.org and I will send you a screenshot.

Works Well

It works well, and does what it needs to.

Battery killer

The app works for its intended use, it’s pretty basic and could offer more functionality but overall it does work. However I had to uninstall it because it was using up to 40% of my battery in the background even with the app closed, and as soon as I uninstalled it my battery stopped draining as fast.

Great on iPhone, poo on iPad

It’s great on my phone, but It’s just the iPhone version so it’s not full screen on iPad. Pretty lame-o because I don’t think it’s hard to optimize for iPad.

Downloads do not work

Downloads do not work? Says downloading but nothing in Files app.

Sem acesso.

Nem habilita o preenchimento da ID, ou seja pessimo

Nice, like it but more features can be added

I have build lot of home lab systems but this is the by far the best and stable system. Really like it, this the reason i bought pro version. Only request is to have more feature inside the ios app where the folders app is more well tuned. Also the apps panel can be improved in ui. Overall stable experience with zimaos.

Great start!!

The app is still fairly basic, but having one at all is already a big plus over other systems. I hope this app and the desktop clients will continue to receive frequent updates. Keep up the good work!
