Not user frendly – ReadyCLOUD Review

I bought the ReadyNas214 system with the expectation of streaming to whatever device I wanted, as their sales video stated. But alas it does not. This current app is slow to load and access account, as well as, subsequent sub folder structures. When you try any music files it does not seem to load or display any meta data such as cover art or artist. When you select it to play, videos or music, it opens a web page with a basic player and starts downloading. Does not play until finished. Not my idea of streaming. Again no other data such as album art in background. Seems very poorly written. I want to have the choice to just download to my device or just stream it when away from home to any device. I feel I should be able to access my Nas system directly without going through a Netgear web service or account, which also seems to defeat the purpose of having a home or office cloud server system. Device seems to work ok but the apps are severely lacking. The help videos do not match the screens that I am seeing on my system. I cannot send email share invites either. No option to enter the email address as shown in videos. Will plug along and do some more research, but as of today I would not recommend system due to poor app design and support.
