Flash Player Needed, but not avail on Android
ReadyNAS Photo 2 seems to need Adobe Flash Player, an obselete technology not available on many devices including my tablet (Asus Transformer EE), and my phone (Note 2) and my wife's phone (Nexus S). Clearly not available on Apple devices either (so I can't share with my family who have apple devices)
Is there a more up-to-date version that does not use this ancient tech? How do I get it?

- I would like to ressurect this topic because it seems there still is no fix for that (I searched other topics - found the same dead threads). I have the NV+ v2 NAS. Latest available version of Readynas Photos II. When I open any link (photos.readynas.com/{username}), link which I get after sharing an album, my chrome browser in Android asks me to install Flash plugin which is obsolete. At the same time when I use the Dolphin browser setting agent as 'Ipad', I can see the album.
It would be great to fix it.

Now I get it. It took about 2 hours to bring all the information together. It seems that NV+ v.2 is obsolete. When I go to http://apps.readynas.com/pages/ it says that if I have RAIDiator firmware version 5 (which I certainly do) I do have to go to a (pretty much bad organized) page of add-ins (as official ones, as also made by a community). At the same time genie.netgear.com personal page says that my device is supported.
It doesn't according to a note mentioned above and according to my experience (I tried to login from my NV+ v2 admin to Genie and failed).
I understand there are (probably) hardware limitations which prevent you from making available all the new apps version for older devices, but it would be great if the people responsible for the website would keep in in order and care about consistency. Otherwise because of the lack of simple explanation what is supported (I couldn't even find my device on an official Netgear.com page) people may start thinking that the only one reason some devices become obsolete is a badly organized software engineering which leads to a poor code reuse.
