Comments on DS finder for Android

★★★★★ Alex Nguyen · Mar 24, 2023

Edit: latest update is cr@p! Where's the wol option gone?? Reverted to previous version and will avoid any updates...... Useful app. Synology support confirmed that you need to delete your nas and then re-add it in the app. Wol then works, and I've just done it so can confirm it. 😃

It works really well for me, and I love being able to download something straight to my micro SD card instead of the puny download folder where it always fails.

★★★★☆ Unknown User · Nov 17, 2022

The main reason I have this app is for the IP Blocking feature. The only thing is, is the missing of a few options: Import/Export IP List Block a range via CIDR or Subnet You have to use the firewall for ranges. So blocking a /24 brute-force attack takes a long time & I am seeing the attacker only tries once per username, which doesn't trigger auto-block.

Update has made this useless, all I want is to see a list of nas units on my local network and wake on lan when required. New update treats you as an external user and shows you nothing unless you have an external quick connect account set up (all my units have been isolated from internet other than security updates).

Desktop mode only allows you to see a portion of the screen. Example, if you open control panel in desktop mode all you can see is the left menu, you can't scroll over to see any of the options. Also, why have a submit feedback function (DSM Mobile>Setting>submit feedback) if all it says is visit our website to submit feedback?

★★☆☆☆ James I Am · Nov 30, 2022

I have 4 Synology NAS units, but this app is just soo poor. As others have repeatedly stated its extremely limited and buggy but what's worse it's an app that doesn't scale properly for a phone if you try and use desktop mode. That makes it useless, and I would rather just use a web browser.
