User reviews
either make it compatible with Microsoft authenticator, or change the icon so that it isn't confusing to the eye. works great π
I use the media server. Works like a charm and as expected. Options are intuitive, easy to set-up
they released this app and auto updated all associated signin pages to reflect that app. now when i sign in, im badgered with error messages designed only for the app when my nas wasnt set up for the app. meaning im freaking stuck. synology has done some dumb stuff in the past but causing permanent lock out loop is a new level of stupid
