I found a way to roll my iPad and iPhone back to v1.2! Now at least I can still use ReadyNAS Remote through my iOS devices until Netgear comes up with a solution to this mess.
Here's what I did. This should work if you normally sync your apps to iTunes, but have not synced any of your device(s) with iTunes since the v1.3.4 update was applied.
1. Before plugging in your device, open iTunes on your PC (or Mac) and click on "Apps" under "LIBRARY"
2. Find the Netgear ReadyNAS Remote app and right-click it. A pop-up menu will appear. Select "Get Info"
3. On the summary tab, look at the version number of the app. If it says "1.2" then you're golden. If it says 1.3.4, then this won't help you, so stop here.
4. Turn on your device (iPad or iPhone) and DELETE the ReadyNAS Remote app FROM YOUR DEVICE, before you plug it in.
5. AFTER DELETING THE APP ON YOUR DEVICE, plug the device in to the PC and allow it to sync from iTunes. The older version ReadyNAS remote app should automatically sync from the PC to the device.
6. After the sync is complete, unplug your device, find the ReadyNAS Remote app on the device, and test it.
Repeat steps 4-6 for each additional device.
Now, obviously, if you get the v1.2 app back onto your device(s), the App Store will alert you to an update for the app again. Don't do it until the update is confirmed to solve this issue (i.e. - greater than 1.3.4).
