App seems to be hard coded to only allow access the local path /sdcard, which on many modern devices is actually internal memory, not the actual SD Card. This means there seems to be no way to transfer anything too or from an S3, and presumably other devices, to/from the MiniStation unless you only use the internal storage. :-/ Oh yes, and clicking on a mp3 on the MiniStation just causes the program to exit, nothing plays. Movies seem to be fine though, but they use a proper app. Please use allow the use of the music player of our choice, rather than your internal one.

Had almost no issues, using my HDW-PU3 for about two years. Now it's giving me issues on a Redmi Note 1s. Won't obtain an IP Address unless I alter the WLAN connection to "static" , then the app says "not connected". So I then change it back to DCHP upon which it seems to connect but no files will play. I'm at my wit's end messing with this. What a drag. Is this an android bug? I dunno...

Horrible interface and doesn't do what it needs to. On my Xperia no files are listed on the phone side so I can't upload anything to the drive to free up space, which was the main thing I needed this app for. I'd rather stream to my tablet instead, so the download side I'd want working with Windows, which is also not really supported. However, a windows share is open on 10.10.10.254 admin/admin, which has no file restrictions, so use the app to set up the Internet connection and then just use the open share
