Please improve the app, the hardware is great. – My Cloud Home Review

2/13/19 Pros/cons below. 1.0 The hardware installs easily. Beautiful design. Has lots of promise when the PC and the App are improved. 1.1 The few video files I have tested this on, load quickly onto my home cloud on my PC. Nice, given other’s comments about long wait times. 1.2 So far, one test to share via email, only that video was accessible, as expected, and nothing else. Good. I need to test folder viewing. 2. Lots of functionality when on a PC. NOT WHEN USING THE IPHONE APP. Add these requirements to the app design: 3. When looking at the contents in my apps, or PC, my home made videos DO NOT SHOW THE FIRST FRAME of the video. My first frame is a four second picture title page that details what the video is about (name, date, location, type of video are all in the title page). All this is not seen and therefore quick identification is gone. It shows a still picture of a few seconds into the video. NOT GOOD. NOT USEFUL. AWFULL FEATURE. please change this. 3.1 So now, ONLY ON MY PC, I have to rename all my video files to contain this information before loading onto the my home cloud. So I can correctly select or choose to share the CORRECT video. WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT AND MAY SEND THE WRONG VIDEO. My videos are about dancing and vacations and are all good family-friendly content, but I’d rather not resend a shared file because I sent the wrong one by a mistake. 4. Allow file renaming in the APP. I shouldn’t have to get to my home PC to do this. 5. Let me create folders from the app. 6. Let me make a duplicate file from the app. This allows me to copy and share a file into another folder to share with another group. Avoids re uploading the same file. There is unfortunately, no indications that the developer reads these, nor have I seen a response. I’ll have to get to their website and forward these comments to them.
