Ratings and reviews

This is absolutely useless for uploading photos from my phone. I have super fast Wi-Fi and all I can get on the history is that the uploading started then stopped due to an "error" - every time. There is no support from Buffalo at all, just a half page on the website showing how to set it up. A caveman could do that but after install, nada. Uninstalling and reinstalling made no difference; I'm just going to use my tried and true USB cable. UPDATE, 5/1 - 2+hours "uploading" and ZERO photos!

Absolutely pathetic. All I want to do is play my 3tb of music on my Android. Completely unreliable function. Connects sometimes. Plays sometimes. Sometimes it plays a few songs. Sometimes it stops mid song. Sometimes it's random, sometimes it's on repeat. Atrocious interface. I can say, the quality of the stream is AWESOME. Other than that, complete rubbish.

Overall a poor application! A 1.5gb file takes over 10 minutes to transfer with this app. Transferring a 16gb video took me almost 3 hours with upload speeds of 100mbps. At that speed it should have taken no more than 30 minutes to transfer. And you might not want to let your screen timeout either. Better yet you might want to clear your schedule. Because if you don't constantly click the notification every minute or 2 the transfer will error out. And you'll have to start it over again.
