Needs updating!

This app won't work under iOS 11 Please update. It is a good app otherwise.

Rest In Peace

This app was great back in the day, but now with iOS 11 it will not run anymore.

Lacks image preview
Daniel Strong

I can access files on time capsule which is what I wanted, but most of those files are photos. In order to see the photo you have to view each one individually. No preview images just generic icons. This is a serious oversight and renders this app fairly useless to me. What is odd is that other file types have previews. Just no media files. Also their directions on how to connect to Box.net are wrong. Even support gave me the wrong directions. I finally figured it out by my lonesome. I think I'll try file browser.

Decent, but has bugs
Demani97

Overall it's pretty solid, and works pretty well (particularly for AFP shares). Two bugs. The first is just cosmetic: the text in the download window appears to have a second copy offset by a pixel or three, making text look blurry. The second is worse: everything in my Downloads folder is gone (including the folder itself). It happened after I mistakenly tapped the Photos shortcut and got an error about Location Services being off (sidebar: why does Location Services confer access to the photo library?). Not sure if the two were related, but it felt that way. Data loss is a bad thing. Bad, bad, bad. Losing data makes me mad. Mad, mad, mad. Realizing an otherwise good app can cause this kind of data loss makes me sad. Sad, sad, sad.

Buena app

Una buena App muy útil para transferir archivos y una muy buena alternativa para conectar el iPad con la time capsule...

Works great with AFP

I am able to access all my files on my external HD connected to my AirPort Extreme, as well as my shared folders on my Mac. I also tried to stream movies…able to play mp4 format. ( must be a format that the ipad can decode). Tech support responded to my question in less than 15 min. Ipad 3 running ios 6
