--------------------------------------------------------Common questions:
Q: Why will the HipServ mobile application not install? It says it is incompatible!A: HipServ Android application requires Adobe Air and Android 2.2 or above in order to run it.
Q: Why will a xxx format video file not play on my phone???A: HipServ does not convert or render your video files. In other words, it is not a video player. It simply uses the video players installed on your phone to play your files. If your phone does not support that format of video, you may need to convert it on the computer, or download a 3rd party player that supports the file. ---------------------------------------------------------

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...
It worked a few times on my Galaxy S3 connecting to my Netgear MyStora and now longer connects. Yet I can FTP to it directly and Web directly via the MyStora redirection so my system is working but this App doesn't. There are no options and exiting is a often impossible. So have had to close and kill. When it did work it was impressive and useful. I'll update or delete my review if it's ever fixed.
This used to be a good app to watch and upload files but since development has stopped im having the same problem as Joel burton and when I emailed the app owner they just basically said they don't intend to update the app for us. We'll thanks a lot. If you ask me that's pretty bad!
Galaxy S4 it works, but it is hard to read. Because of the screen resolution of the new Galaxy S4 it is VERY had to read that small of print. It makes it unusable by my old eyes. I can't zoom in or anything. Please fix the app to make it more usable on high resolution devices like the Samsung S4. Also it says I should be able to share there via the Android share feature. Not so from the Galaxy gallery. Would be nice.
I rate this a 3.5 because it does everything i need for media and file exchange/streaming between my galaxy s2 and my 2tb goflex home drive. Its easy to download vids/Docs using easy downloader. The lacking points are, not been possible to download music or been straight forward to download pics to my phone but easy to share them with other apps like fb and twitter. Would be great to be able to upload videos n music.
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...
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.
This app use to work well on TVhtc one first gen. Now using a samsung s5 and keep redirecting me to stora support website aaying my page cannot be found. But I can see my stora files but every action keep redirecting to stora support eending the use of this app impossible.
Not sure what Curt is on about in his earlier review, I've got a Galaxy SII and using MX Player I can watch all of my videos, even over 3G (though I wouldn't recommend it due to data charges). Would give 5 stars if you could download files and the app didn't want me to go to an internet browser on initial loss up each time.
As others have said, clicking on anything within the app always takes you to a broken link Web page. Video will never start. Please fix this.
Missing file type. Unable to download or share with facebook. Have to send myself email save to my mobile then add file type to file name.
Does work on s5. Saw some people dealing with same issue. Redirects to website and doesn't allow you to view stora
I get a log-in error even though the app works on my Galaxy Tab 7 using the same credentials
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.
No longer works for Verbatim. Continues to launch browser with error on Moto X. Will not remain in app to access any files.
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.
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.
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.
This is great. Now I can access the 3 terabites on my seagate freeagent Goflex from my BN tablets. Nice job HipServ team.
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
Don't know if there was an auto update but now appears OK on android 4.2.2
Exact copy of the Access App suggested by Seagate. Still cannot play videos! This app says it uses codecs provided by installed 3rd party programs? What? A few ppl said it can play videos with 3dr party apps. Please tell me how, ok? Sure, if I have videos on my micro SD chip in the player, ya, great, they all play fine, but from the Seagate GoFlex? NOPE! Junk.
Last updated in 2012. Almost, actually as bad as the Seagate app. Don't get involved - do not use this app and get a cloud drive that isn't Seagate.
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.
This app used to work flawlessly while using Goflex Home but it now appears to have stopped working. :(
I have got a Seagate Goflex home 2TB When I am at home and internet connection is down. So on the same wifi connection why am I not able to view my files from mobilephone . Please fix this bug. Thanks a lot....
It can actually get access to everything on or off network but the icons and thumbnails are microscopic! Please fix GS4.
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.
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 app stopped working after the last Android update for me too. Just go to Settings > Applications and clear the apps data. Reenter your credentials and it works again. Inconvenient but surely not enough to abandon a took that let's me stream from my own storage. Excellent tool for watching a show on the verandah/porch.
