DS Manager Pro iOS app

[jono]

Just seen this on the iOS App Store

‎DS Manager Pro

‎DS Manager Pro allows you to easily supervise your Synology NAS (DSM) by controlling network traffic and connections, system health, storage health and capacity, logs, tasks, backups and many more. There is Wake On LAN and System status widget to help you take control over your NAS even more...

Lots of in-app purchases to unlock all of the features, but looks interesting nevertheless.

I think it’s similar to NASmeister. However, NASmeister seems to be abandoned by its developers.
I wonder how far this new one can go!

Here’s the in-app purchase options:

It also exist for Android but there is no docker module in. The rest looks the same. Price for the complete version is 9,99€​

Developer is @SynoMan countryman Maybe he can persuade him to continue!

I payed for the full (unlock everything version) to support the developer. But I think it’s dead. I was hoping that it develops to a much more useful app. However, I understand that it’s not totally their fault, Apple imposes a lot of restrictions on the developers.
This new one looks nice but once bitten, twice shy.

Can you shed some light on the Docker functions? I'm curious. Can you actually spin up a container and enable disable them too?

Also, how is this app in comparison to the DS Finder app? I assume more control overall.

Yes, you can copy, stop, restart and Force stop the running Docker containers...

And the Gui is way better than the DS Finder, feels way more modern and functional...

Thanks. It doesn’t seem to support multiple NAS views. I’d have to log out and back into the one I want to manage. However, it does save the logins for you. Nice!

 

[Smile]

Yes, i guess you have to log out n in, minor probs in my mind with face recognition and saved logins, for my use its handy

It doesn’t seem to support multiple NAS views.

According to their version history, the latest update allows multiple windows on iPadOS.

Yeah. I’ve been using it on my phone. It really is how DS Finder should be!

Thanks for the pointer to this app.

hi all- just a question about this app-
I insta bought this for the dark mode

just curious if anyone else has issues with the app saying the CPU usage is 100%? using a DDS220+

it matches what the resource monitor says , eg 30% between the user and system processes, but then there is this "other" category that it reads as maxing it out on all the CPU meters. I suspect a compatibility issue any thoughts?

Hello Malm,

welcome to the forum.

I've been using the app for a while now. Using the iOS version (bought pro as well) and don't have the same issue.
The CPU usage shown in the app is lower. The other category is between 3% and 5%.
However, my model is a 920+.
Maybe there is an issue with your model.

Best Regards,
Schewa

Damn this went from like $10 full unlock to $45. Who the heck will pay that much for a helper app?

 

[Jan Janowski]

Looked at it. Slicker than DS FINDER, but try as I might, I see no $$ information for the pkgs at App Store.
One thing to note, However: Seeing that my recent knee issues has made me rely heavily on iPhone for all synology maintenance…. Been using DS FINDER App (As opposed to sitting at computer desk): I’ve learned to use DESKTOP via DS FINDER on iPhone, to access everything that I could sitting at computer, on PC.

 

[WST16]

That’s a big jump. I remember unlocking all modules for about $9 less than three years ago!

My fear with this app (and any similar apps) is that by using it I am potentially giving my login details to an unknown person. This is too big a risk - what guarantees are there that this software does not capture all of this information for a future ransomware operation.

Even if the developer were to state that the login details were encrypted in a local container I have to take it on trust that is correct. I would just about trust Synology with potential access to this information, but some third party? No way.
