## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's straightforward interface and usefulness for local cloud storage without lag. However, multiple reviews highlight difficulties in setup due to unclear host and login requirements. The app struggles with streaming or opening media files like MP4 and MKV, and downloading files often fails.
