NAS Utils for iPhone/iPad Beta

The app must be for iOS 8.x. Still running 7.x here and it says it isn't compatible.

You got a release notice? I haven't seen one yet...

If I'm reading it right. The email I received today said,"NAS Utils v1.0 (4) is ready to test"'.

But, when I go to the link is says that the developer needs to upload a build that supports iOS 7.1.2.

No sign of the email but I went to the Beta app and it gave a link to install it. On 8.2 now so no worries there. Hard to contemplate still being on 7.x. Jailbreak?

Not sure what the right feedback channel is... But since we're here. Could we please get temp display in Farenheit?

Like the clean interface. Will be nice as details fill in about other parts of the config. I was a little surprised to see that it said WOL was enabled because I don't recall it is. Will double check that later on.

Yep.

That and not wanting to upgrade my iCloud to iCloud Drive that can't support older devices that I don't want to update because they wouldn't run iOS 8 well.

Confirmed. WOL is *not* enabled, but app says it is. Model is 516 and I selected ReadyNAS 500 series. Perhaps wrong model?

Also, please for heaven's sake try a different approach to your selector! I started swearing at it since I could barely browse the list without it auto-selecting wherever it stopped after scrolling. Why no "Done" button like other similar selectors?

This forum works for me as a feedback channel.

@fbmachines - I'll see what I can do to bring in support for 7.2.

@btaroli
- Farenheit support is on the way
- I'll definitely see what I can do about fixing the model selector
- When you mention that the app says WOL is enabled, can you clarify? Do you mean the fact that a WOL button is shown at all? The power screen doesn't talk to your NAS at all currently, so it will show a button for WOL regardless. Does the 516 not support WOL? Or do you just have that feature turned off? Let me know, and I'll see what we can do to tighten this up.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. These are exactly the type of things I'm looking for.

Well, the toggle suggests something is turned on. But perhaps that was just to enable "broadcast?"



The 516 definitely supports it and I definitely have it turned off. With the stuff I have running there's no chance for power management features to ever be able to sleep or idle drives.

Got it. Yes, that toggle is for send as broadcast. I wouldn't necessarily suggest it, but some folks have public ips forward to broadcast to enable them to remotely send wol packets. Those folks would need to turn that flag off, so that they can target a specific ip instead of their local broadcast address.
