HipServ for Android
Used to work but since latest android updates no longer works at all. Clearing app data and cache does not fix. Just get error message that device is offline even though it is not
Unable to access my media because it continuously opens a Web browser with an error message. It'll happily open an endless number of windows while keeping me from the music on my NAS. My advice, download total commander and get the FTP plugin. Once set up its much better.
Seriously. Who designs software that is this hard to use anymore? MSDOS was way simpler.
...would really enjoy if had featuresGreat potential, but I'm definitely not gonna hold my breath waiting for it to be updated! efinitely not gonna hold my breath waiting for it to be updated!
Requires Adobe AIR which doesn't work on Atom based tablets. Quit using adobe products people, they consistently suck!
As long as this app is set up with the correct details (which are not always immediately apparent and can be difficult to find) it works very well. I could access and play all the media files on my Goflex Home NAS which is connected to my home network.
Secure passwords won't work. I can't find any settings for the app. Once you log in with one account you have to clear data on the app in order to log in as another account. Files and folders don't exist in the app view versus the web view. No way to manage Stora preferences or backups.
This app used to work flawlessly while using Goflex Home but it now appears to have stopped working. :(
Don't know if there was an auto update but now appears OK on android 4.2.2
WÀRNING: This app use to work very well. The new update will not allow it to work with stora!
Still can't play an entire album. Have to press the arrow icon to move to the next song, so it's pretty much useless for music
No longer works for Verbatim. Continues to launch browser with error on Moto X. Will not remain in app to access any files.
When you open a file on your goflex drive it jumps over to the Samsung home Web site then downloads the file ! Real dumb ! Yet this same App. Installed on Apple anything , works perfect ! You click on a pdf file it opens without downloading to your device !
I would like the option to make the screen bigger or zoom in as the folders are really small.
Does not work, I'm uninstalling. It requires internet connection.
I can connect just fine with the website but this app fails to connect. Tried to reinstall. Nothing.
Just not even really worth the time to gripe about it. Opens an error page in browser every time. Extremely frustrating since it did work at one time.
Does not work, I'm uninstalling. It requires internet connection.
Fix and notify please.
Won't allow me to access my goflex network drive, keeps opening an non-existent error website. Please fix!
I can use this on my tab 2 and my galaxy s3! It plays all my movies and songs no problem. Wish I could move/copy/paste/download files. Then would be 5 stars.
What is going on, this used to work perfectly up until the last update. I've never had a hitch with the program, and now it has stopped working with my Netgear Stora. Totally annoyed now. I hope you fix the problem soon as it used to be the most useful software for streaming.
Update the audio player to list all songs in a folder by, artist, genre, or all songs in parent folder. Otherwise works great on my Motorola Droid2.
When emailed this was the response I got. "it would seem the latest Android update has broken HipServ. HipServ is not currently under development, there are no plans to update it at this time"
This not work at all. Did you test it before putting here?
It can actually get access to everything on or off network but the icons and thumbnails are microscopic! Please fix GS4.
Installed without a hitch on my ICE Cream Sandwich. Upload captured photo is a good feature - BUT would like to see uploading files feature added if possible :-)
If you are trying to stream movies onto an Android product, try using Mobo Player...free dl in the google store...movies/videos almost always play now...great software that streams my movies.pics.music and data. 5+
Worked great on my Google nexus 7 until android kittkatt update 4.2.2. Now its stuck on a broswer loop referencing an error, Please fix.
Beats the hell out of the GoFlex app in that it actually plays file-types supported by your other apps. Lost a star for still not having a download option.
Must of been some crappy update from sprint but the latest android patch they put out fixed the broken link spamming!
Used to work great but now it can't connect to my goflex home . uninstalling!
Wish you could download from it
This app seriously needs an update. It just stopped letting me login to Seagate GF Home drive after my mobile phone upgraded to - JB 4.2.2. I can access same NAS drive with HipServ from another mobile phone which runs on - Android JB 4.2.1 !! nothing wrong with my NAS drive or home router. Since 4.2.2 release is currently limited to Google Nexus devices, complaints may be limited, but axentra should release an update before more users suffers from this issue! I can add more stars once this issue is fixed...
On the website has a app for Apple. Nothing for the more popular and common android
The hipserv app is no longer in development. There was a. Ew android os update that went out which messed up the hipserv app and hipserv will not fix the issue.
Used to work great! But now keeps on opening a stupid pointless web page making the app useless!
The app works great, but all the icons are extremely small, and there is no option to zoom in. It is like it was written for a larger tablet screen, and not designed to be on smaller phone screens. The Hipserv+ app on my work phone (Apple 4s) works perfectly. I guess we know where they put the development cycles...
Installed the seagate version and had seen on the bottom of the screen that the software was driven by hipserv. Checked the website and found there was a version for android downloaded it and have had no problems as this software allows you to choose your player and now I can play all, I think of my files. Would recommend this software.
