    Seagate Wireless Plus 2TB Portable Hard Drive with Built-in WiFi (STCV2000100)

    • when i try to watch the movies from my Iphone, it doesnt work, even i load App to read program.
    • Poor media app...
    • The app is truly one of the best 3rd party productivity apps I've seen on iOS.
    • The app works pretty well, but it prefers to download videos as temp files before it plays them instead of just streaming them straight to the tablet.
    • The app works pretty well, but it prefers to download videos as temp files before it plays them instead of just streaming them straight to the tablet.
    • And as other reviewers have noted, the app is a bit buggy
    • It took me forever just to figure out which app I was supposed to use for this drive, and the app is pretty clumsy and not user friendly.
    • I think that the app that comes with it can use some work I sometimes lose connection with it
    • I think the problem is the app that comes with the device is too basic and you need to really know what you are doing to make this work for you.
    • App is free and easy to setup
    • but), the apps couldn't read the SRT subtitle files, which made me mad for the second time, since I've spend money on useless apps (both recommended by Seagate).After some hours on the Internet, reading forums, FAQs and reviews, I could finally find PlayerXtreme (free App on the iTunes Appstore)
    • App was a little too beta testing app for my liking
    • Or I'll be able to connect and the app just keeps crashing
    • Not set once and forget and no good apps to go with iPad or Android.
    • It is an inelegant piece of hardware and a clunky app.
    • The app could definitely use an improvement, but it works at least.
    • In case your movies are in .avi or other "non apple accepted" format just dowload VLC Player free app
    • While it does offer a wi fi connected external storage device as described, the proprietary app continuously disconnects from the server, the library is endlessly "building" and with each of these circumstances, it is impossible to search the contents of the drive.
    • Built in WiFi- WiFi pass-through so you can use the internet and the Seagate at the same time.- Fast when used as a USB external drive on a computer.- Decent Seagate app for the iPod
    • Seagate has improved the app recently, but it's still annoying to have to always go through their app
    • You download and install the Seagate Media app free from the Android or Apple store (not yet on the Microsoft store) and when you open the app on your phone, tablet, or iPod touch, it allows you to access files stored on the drive
    • While the SWP is fantastic for storing and playing back .mp4 and .m4v files, I find it hard to rate it more than 3 stars given the slow wireless download speeds, poorly-designed app and bad photo-viewing experience
    • Software: the app for streaming from the device is bad
    • The app, as I read in reviews on the app store, was improving
    • Once you get this up an running it is awesome, however, the app that goes along with it is garbage.
    • The app is very sensitive and crashes if you click twice, and it's not a very intuitive design
    • Needs a better app to support all major video formats.
    • That seagate app froze and just had a million issues.
    • The Seagate media app is good enough for my purposes.
    • generally, it is a great drive, as it has great quality, great transfer speed and nearly great free app
    • The app seems to get confused and I have had to kill the app, shutdown the drive and restart everything, which is less than ideal
    • Don't worry - even if your Wireless Plus is NTFS you just dowload free Seagate App and use this drive without any problem
    • I like the hard drive, but I cannot use the app because it does not work with the disability settings/functionality on the iPhone
    • The app is not good for playing music in shuffle mode.
    • Seagate should improve this app for iPhones and for iPad's.
    • The app works great as well.
    • The app works great as well.
    • The provided software is very confusing and I haven't found an app the works well with it
    • The app is clunky for 2014, but the hardware does a great job solving a serious repeating problem for me.
    • Seagate has improved the app recently, but it's still annoying to have to always go through their app
    • Connected via wireless, it shows connected to the drive, but when I run their useless Seagate Media app, it continually says, database initializing and check back in a few minutes
    • That said, I would gladly pay $$ for a decent Android app and PC application to help me 'manage' the data on this drive.
    • , I can watch my movies wile on the road, or at home, I've had my device about a year, had an issue with it, called customer service and they helped me get it figured out, I can probably put about 800 movies in it, I just found out that I can connect it directly to my smart tv, and it will play the movies directly from the device without Bluetooth or wireless connection, just plug in usb input and slide up or down with tv control, I will definitely buy another one as soon as this one is full, I do recommend this to anyone, it is a little pricy, but well worth it, also this is the only of its kind anywhere, iCloud has a similar device, but it requires wify to view, seagate does not, all you need is a smartphone, or a tablet, download the free app for it and switch your wify connect to seagate and you start watching your movies in less than a minute, has a internal batterie, probably lasts about an
    • I thought I was going to have to actually connect to the drive through the wireless settings, but the app made things very easy
    • Free apps on an iPad or iPhone (and probably on Droids as well) show you the library on the wireless drive and clicking on a title produces the movie on your device
    • but), the apps couldn't read the SRT subtitle files, which made me mad for the second time, since I've spend money on useless apps (both recommended by Seagate).After some hours on the Internet, reading forums, FAQs and reviews, I could finally find PlayerXtreme (free App on the iTunes Appstore)
    • I would like the App to a little less jumbled in its design, but non-the-less the equipment works.
    • The app is not very friendly and it can not read many kind of common files (avi files), also it's very difficult to create playlists
    • Glad I waited for the Plus and the improved app
    • I tried the app on a Nexus 7 and it works flawlessly.
    • We turn on the Airtime feature of the iPad, turn on mirroring, which makes the TV mimic exactly what we see on the iPad, and use Seagate's proprietary but free App to access the video content we stored
    • Educational apps are great - but sometimes the kids would prefer a video.
    • The app either freezes or when it does
    • But, I worked around this by using a third-party free app to transfer the pictures to my MacBook Pro
    • This great app solved my problems and I could watch MKV movies with the respective SRT subtitles
    • App doesn't work
    • the app seems to work ok
    • And since it's not, Seagate should at least recommend a useful FREE app to do so
    • but I think it worth mentioning as indicator that either the app is just not ready for primetime (but appears to have been out for several years) or there is a deficiency in testing before releases
    • The app you need to get on your mobile devices to interact with the drive is not user friendly and frequently disconnects or
    • The app for the iPad is very good
    • I am not sure why... Need to talk to seagate support-the media app only supports some file formats
    • DRIVE!.Wirelessly, the free app will let you copy files to the wireless device, ONE FILE
    • I would love it if Seagate would improve the app for it
    • Again, it works, but it's not as slick as the iOS app.
    • Seagate should look for 3rd party app solution, the native app is that bad
    • Very convenient to use with an iPad or iPhone using Seagate's free app.
    • The right app (requires free download App) would cure all.....
    • The app is cumbersome to use, and I had problems with some functions not working as advertised.
    • Could not get anything to upload and app kept crashing.
    • And since it's not, Seagate should at least recommend a useful FREE app to do so
    • The app is easy to find on the iTunes store, and on Amazon (for the Kindle)
    • It's unfortunate because it's other aspects are pretty good, the app, the easy of use when it does work are definitely good.
    • the wireless works...downloaded the app on my iPad mini...ready to start putting movies on it...plug it in to computer (iMac Mac OS X version 10.7.5 ) and I get an error
    • This great app solved my problems and I could watch MKV movies with the respective SRT subtitles
    • It heats up a lot and the app is a bit garbage
    • Means, obsolete - as you can't charge it anymore
    • it worked just as advertised and just as I had expected it to work
    • It works as it is claimed
    • The drive itself is relatively small and works as it should.
    • Followed the instructions at support site, tried SSID with and without pwd, tried installed app as well as through the browser and also did not work
    • This confused me because as soon as it disconnected
