4.5 out of 5
Not the official Synology app

DSLoadStation is designed to look exactly like the original Synology DS. And it takes in your credentials first before asking to pay a steep subscription. I am all for paying small devs, but this one doesn’t feel right.

This Application is Malicious

After logging in to my Synology NAS from this application my SSL certificate was changed on my machine. My log in credentials were stolen and the application disabled 2FA from my NAS. This allowed them to log in to my Synology freely for half an hour before I notice something was up.

DONT DOWNLOAD!

Don’t pay for this. Rip off, just not right

You can’t even try it and donate if you are happy with it, the replies are in poor English, which makes you doubt a few times more.
I can’t believe that Apple allows these apps to be in their lists, not that Synology dumps its own development to be managed by a “charge first, then use”.
keep using your browser version, even on a phone / tablet. It’s just not correct.

Waste Money

Nothing more worth than a free download app. Paid life time fee to unlock features, but these features are useless. I can’t figure out what this “search” button search for. I wish the in the “web” view, when you click a web site. It will copy the web url and create a task automatically. But this web view just like a history. It’s worthless.

Will not pay when free on browser

Dev, no need to put the “I know the subscription can be a surprise” reply. I get that you want to earn money for your time but personally I won’t be paying for this when I can do it for free via browser.

Honestly, it’s off-putting to enter credentials then see that I have to pay.

Great when it works

Awesome when it works but their server is down sometimes and in the past it has been for many months. Also they double charged me for yearly after buying lifetime fee and had to have Apple refund me.

Decent app if you just want to see the status

It's nice that app gives you 7 day trial. Adding tasks to my download station fails so I'll likely have to cancel the subscription.

Great App & Outstanding Support

DSLoad Station has been well worth the subscription. DSLoadStation works great, and the developer’s support is exceptional. When I had a login issue, he was incredibly patient and responsive, working through multiple emails to help. I truly appreciate his dedication. Rare to find such great support these days—highly recommend!

Very good accessibility support

I’m a blind, DSLoadStation has very good accessibility support for Voiceover. Thank you very much

So far so good

Wish they didn’t ask for the review so soon.

Great app!

I wasn’t sure how well this would work but it is absolutely awesome!

Excellent App

Excellent layout, features, and functionality. VPN status is a nice touch. Ties in nicely with download station! Highly recommended!

Great app

DSLoadStation is indispensable for downloading movies and shows on your phone. Absolute must for anyone with an iPhone and a Synology NAS

Could you please add this future .

Custom user-agent for client .
When we download some special sources , the special UA (user agent ) will enable connect.

Why don’t you just charge for the app?

Why is this a free app? I don’t think it works if you don’t buy a subscription. Why have it appear in DSLoadStation Store as a free app? If it’s well made I don’t mind paying I just find it unsporting

Superbly easy to use and convenient

This is an excellent app which allows you to remotely control your NAS.

Responsive developers are awesome!

Hey, thank you so much for the feedback via email. The new update fixed the 2FA issue.

Best Synology app which is not from Synology

You can use the free version without any restrictions and is total fun to have controll if your Download Station from every inch of the world.

Definitive
