Can’t update packages using app
RSnake
DS Mobile won’t allow you to scroll down to disable packages so that you can update when said packages require you to disable others first, making it far less useful. For instance if I need to disable three packages to update nodejs, I can’t scroll down far enough to turn them all off. Either make it automatically disable said packages for the user and then re-enable them upon update, or let the user scroll down, or both. It’s like the devs have never had to use this app...
WOL Needs Improvement
@Twisted
WOL Only works when you are on your local network. This feature needs to work when you are away, or the app is really useless.
Login needs debugging

Takes minutes to fail login. No indications why, my NAS is local. So slow to log in it’s almost useless.
Desktop mode needs to be fixed
Originator 88
Since you can’t do things like fully operate packages from the mobile version you need to open desktop mode. Unfortunately I can’t get it to work in landscape mode and I also can’t zoom in and out so it’s difficult to use. The biggest thing that needs to be fixed is that it zooms in when you touch a text field (and brings up the keyboard) but there’s seemingly no way to zoom back out after.
Bad update broke login
Know each
Latest version prevents me from connecting outside of my LAN. Quick connect and DDNS refuse to work even tho they work with other synology apps and in a web browser
A great app!

Absolutely no complaints. Everything works great, and the connection was quick. Well done Synology!
Pool interface design, and incomplete

1. Notifications 2. Desktop Mode Notification - There is no simple way to clear notifications. - You have to take 3 step to clear mortification - 1 open the app, 2 click on “More” tab and then “Notifications”. Desktop Mode - There is no way to zoom in or zoom out. - When click on input “form” you can’t zoom out. Message for developers: These behaviors apply only to the DS Finder App. Not confuse with DSM Web. Another user has mentioned one of these behaviors but you point them to DSM web notifications. This is about DS Finder App only fix it. Advice: Open beta testing, we will be happy to test your App and report any bugs and give feedbacks with screenshots or screen recording. Last: Please combine your apps to one solid and nice one. We have more that 12 Apps Just for One DS. Too much zombies!!!
Desktop Mode Fix
Hcjfjfifufuf
Cannot zoom in or out in desktop mode, this makes it pretty much un-useable to setup or configure anything. It will zoom in to enter text and then you cannot zoom out to apply or continue config. This should have been fixed already.
Invalid password
Sharkygoods
I created an account and was able to verify it. When I go to sign it indicates it’s invalid which means I can not use this app till it’s fixed. Not a great first impression.
Can’t setup notifications on my phone
Z3r0 C0ol
I’ve tried to setup the notifications on my phone using this app and it simply won’t work. The DS Router app allows me to get notifications on my phone but using this app for my NAS won’t work.
