Very frustrating

I followed the advice and downloaded the lite version to see how it connects, etc. After EVERY attempt to do anything to test this thing it prompts you to buy the full version with a countdown clock before you can proceed. I'm no expert so it was trail and error for me to find my Mac (which I gave up on). They need to stop with the buy me prompts every time you try something. This may be a great program but I'll never know because I'm not going to wait 10 seconds every time I try something! I know this sounds petty but as a novice trying to use this lite version was total frustration and I won't spend the $ until I know it works...no matter how many 5 star ratings it gets.

It will force to wait forever and then say if you bought the full version you wouldn't have to wait.
Try before you buy
It’s I
Yes, this app will nag you, but Apple doesn't allow true trial versions of apps, so this is as good as it gets. Take a look at the ratings for the paid version of this app to get a real perspective of what this can do. The paid version is absolutely one of the most useful apps I own. This trial version lets you try it.

Mike I can feel for you as I had a heck of a time trying to connect to my older Mac running SL which acts as my media server. I found the answer by going to the tool icon in the app and using the link More Help > Web Site. There you will find step by step instruction for connecting to any kind of device. My problem was I needed to turn on the SMB option on the Mac. After it connected. Beyond this, the app is really well worth it.

I found the ad/prompts annoying, but the functionality of this app is quite remarkable. I fumbled at first with the initial setup/connection, but once i passed that hurdle I liked responsiveness and intuitive form. The scan function works seamlessly with a vpn connection, even porting through an iPhone hotspot. I very much liked the fact that in the scan it showed the ip address. The response times were reasonable. Icon presentation during scrolling was good. One function I would like to see added, is a search function with the document view mode.
Crash Landing ...

Zowie, Batman ... finding resources worked fine, but then I tried the streaming function ... crashes within a minute or so, evertime.
Excellent !!!

I was a little hesitant about this app, but after reading the support page and contacting the developer they recommended that I try it out before I buy the full version. I very pleasantly surprised that this app does exactly what it claims it can, and in my case give me complete access to my Time Capsule from my iPhone. This is a MUST HAVE !!!
Crap

Don't even bother. Doesn't do nothing but display files. Want to stream or view? Look elsewhere!
Cannot be used

This has all the needed functions, but to do anything, I get something like 5 seconds delay window. Can't be used, hence uninstalling.
Stupid

Always needs to wait 5 to 10 sec to work, what kind of lite version is this, never buy this.
