Im looking for an easy app to look at my photos and music

Is the goal simply to view photos/listen to music that is stored on the NAS?
If so, plex is one option - it requires port forwarding, but not DDNS.

But if ReadyCloud and ReadyNAS Photos are slow, it's likely because the upload speed provided by your ISP is slow and nothing except a more expensive service tier from them is going to solve it.

FWIW, just pointing out that the OP hasn't answered StephenB's question: "Are you expecting it to work over your home WiFi, or are you expecting it to work when you are away from home?" If it's the first, then all this scary talk about routers and ports might not be necessary.
Edit: correction
