Pros and cons of DS finder app for iPhone and iPad

DS finder app good for

Great app... Synology did a great job on their DSM and mobile apps keep going this way
Why there is still a wlan-connection required for waking up the server? I think, wol over internet is a new feature?
After upgrading to the latest version of DS finder (2.3-061), the push notification no longer works. Please fix Otherwise, this is a great little app allow you to monitor status of multiple Synology Disk Stations Additional thought: It would be nice to add the CPU/Memory usage chart into this app for quick access. I know you can access them from the "DSM Mobile" option. But being able to access it right from the app could save us lots of time when we deploy Synology DS for business clients. Great work Synology team
This app is awesome. Highly functional with my DS1515+. Any Synology owner would be remiss in not using these iOS Synology apps.
... but why 6 ios apps for 1 DiskStation? Put them all togheter in 1 app, pls!

Some bad moments

Unfortunately, crash each time I am trying to launch the application. With iPod and ios 3.1.
Im a big Synology fan, but this app crashes every time it starts to discover on the network. Probably could have used a few more hours of QA.
Cant start it. It crash less than 5 sec after start the application. Dont know what this application are suppose to do. Never got the chance to see it working.
Doesnt work. Start a search to find the DS211j and then crashes without completing search. Needs major work.
Really would be nice if it actually worked. Hope they patch it soon, mine bombs out about two seconds after starting.
Good for getting a quick glance at synolgy servers. Kind of wish it gave some options or opened up more control panel settings for easy admin from a distance.
