Discover - mAPPn, Inc.
Discover is a mobile file manager application that allows you to manage, store, view and transfer files with other computers or iPhones, within the same Wi-Fi network. It also allows you to access local or public servers on the Internet, both within or without Wi-Fi connections.
Features
--Wireless flash drive
Instantly convert your iPhone to a wireless Flash Drive without the use of a cable. Simply connect your iPhone to your computer’s Internet browsers such as IE, FireFox, Safari, Finder for the Mac OS, or the WebDAV clients such as Transmit. With an IP address that Discover provides, you can easily upload or download the files between the computer and iPhone.
--Sharing files with your friends over the air
Want to share pictures or documents with your friends in class, at a party or in a conference? Our “Nearby” function can detect other iPhones in close proximity and enable you to share files with them via Wi-Fi networks. If you choose to add the MobileMe service, Discover can support the emailing of files from your actual iPhone.
--Multi-format file reader
Dicover contains a Multi-format files viewer that allow you to view documents, code, audio, video, photos, and more. Special features, such as bookmarks, would easily allow you to read while on-the-go. In addition, Discover also now supports the formats docx, xlsx, and pptx.
--Access local and public server
Discover allows you to access your MobileMe iDisk server and Discover servers from local networks or the Internet. Once you are connected to your server, you can then upload/download files between your server and your iPhone. The Discover server application can be downloaded at http://www.mappn.com/community/
About MobileMe iDisk Access
MobileMe iDisk is a service provided by Apple that helps you store, access, and share files online as well as access them in any computer. Now with Discover, you can access your iDisk server right from your iPhone! Upload, download and even share them with your friends via email!
A free 60-day trial of the Apple MobileMe service is available at http://www.me.com.
About Discover Server:
In addition to allowing you to access your remotely hosted files like iDisk, the Discover server further enables you to access both private or open, as well as local and public, file hosting services on the Internet or local networks.
Public access:
With your public IP address published, your friends, colleagues, visitors, clients, or business partners will be able to access your files stored in your public Discover Server, which can be located in your home, office or other provided hosting.
Local access:
Within local networks such as your campus, office or home, your colleagues or classmates can automatically detect your local Discover Server, list file folders, and download files through “Nearby” at Discover.
The Discover Server for MAC OS can now be downloaded at http://www.mappn.com/community/ mAPPn, Inc.
Discover reviewed by Users
One of the Best Document Managers Many of the negative reviews cite problems that don't exist. For example, you CAN upload multiple files at one time, you CAN turn off the annoying popup message at the start, Discover DOES use WebDAV, and it DOES expand images to full screen by default. This a great little app that compares extremely well with the 13 other, similar ones in the store. Perhaps the negative reviews are from Windows users? Just a guess.Special strengths: - Unique browser-based interface lets users manage files/folders and uploads with their web browser (supports IE, Firefox, Safari). Users can also use a WebDAV client (such as Finder or Explorer). This approach lets you bookmark Discover in your browser and easily connect to it later. - Nice support for HTML viewing, which has the same features as plain text viewing--namely, you can increase or decrease font size and choose between black-on-white or white-on-black themes. - Full range of file-management tools on the iPhone: Create, rename, move and delete folders and subfolders, and move, rename, and delete files. - Allows users to browse iPhone-to-iPhone and share files. - Very good built-in web browser that makes it easy to return to your starting document after following links. - For movies and images, Discover is the only app I've found that fully incorporates viewing into its interface. Most others utilize the iPhone defaults. - Tries to customize behavior for different file types--e.g., for PDF it displays up/down navigation buttons, whereas for pictures it displays previous/next buttons. - Provides a search tool that can search on file names in your document library. - Seamless switching from portrait to landscape views, resizing documents as necessary to fully fit the screen sizes and automatically entering full-screen mode. - Good built-in help.Weaknesses: - Space alloted to directory and file names is much too large, so you can only see a few at a time. This is especially a problem in landscape view. - Built-in navigation is, reflecting several problems: - In-document navigation is hindered by the full-screen view implementation, which frustrating because a single tap brings you out of full-screen mode, and yet there's no way to navigate other than tapping or swiping. - A tap brings up a navigation slider, which is good for going quickly from one part of a long document to another, but isn't good for page-to-page reading. - There's no quick way to return to your root folder. So, if you have several nested folders, there can be quite a bit of going up and down levels. - Using the "Back" button to close a document can be confusing, since for some file types (e.g, HTML), the button does what you'd expect--returns you to the folder the file is in--whereas for others (e.g., PDF), it takes you back to the root folder. - Displays advertising banner in folder view. - Discover review by MarsMuse
Awesome!! Perfect in every way! No complaints with anything and I would like to know what app the guy who rated 1 star was using because it certainly wasn't this one. Love the file viewing feature (discovered it on accident). The absolute best part is that it's free, where's the sixth star on this rating thing? - Discover review by Assassin2012
This is a GREAT File transfer utility I have been waiting for a decent file transfer utility. Why can't my iPhone work the same as a flash drive? Now it can, with password protection. - Discover review by Davee106
Excellent app! Very easy to use. Fast file transfer. File transfer status indicator! I love it! Much better than another file sharing app I'm using. - Discover review by Casualuser
Strong recommend! Similar to air sharing, but that one is 6.99 and this one is FREE!!!Also I'm so excited by the iPhone to iPhone feature - Discover review by Michael Woo
Simple and Sweet Discover is an excellent simple application. It provides a simple way to acces my iPod touch via wifi. Thank you very much for the app! - Discover review by JaideNana
Must Have This is an essential app! Easy to use and works great. - Discover review by javajuneau
Great App...Exactly what I was looking for! Great app...allows me to upload files that I need the most! - Discover review by 99ranchmarket
Great, but a few suggestions... The fact that this is free might make this a standard on all iPhones.
I think the web interface is a little clunky. Why don't you just point a windows explorer at your phone and drag and drop files into it. That way you can drag entire directories--there's no way to do this with the discover browser, and that's a major limitation.
It would nice to navigate inside compressed files (zip, jar).
It would be a game changer if you could share files over 3G/Edge. You can do this with email.
It would be nice if you could access email attachments, or you could email files inside discover.
This is very good app so far, though. Five stars. - Discover review by RightyC1
Cool! I just tried this thing out. Very easy! I didn't actually transfer any files from my phone to my computer but I was able to view all my photos on the computer. Of course, now I wish I had a bigger phone but I think I can keep enough space available for transfers. Setting up a password was simple, too. I know almost nothing about this stuff but it looks like both devices would have to be on the same network. - Discover review by Boneyfun
Amazing!! For the first time, I clicked on the ad & watched it just because I was so impressed with the product. Even without multi-file transfer, this surpasses all my expectations. It's seamless, integrated and just incredibly apple-worthy easy to use. I would request .rtf support, and for iWork files.I've been wanting a good file transfer app since the beginning and my wait is finally over. This definitely meets all my needs.BTW, I love the icon. - Discover review by 7Tigger77
BEST PROGRAM! I would like to say thank you for creating this program for free! It's truly amazing, better than air sharing. I would rate it 10 stars. I try to upload powerpoint but mine does not load properly probably due to large file around 6.1 MB. Highly recommended! - Discover review by Loved999
Really really bad I can't really put it politely so I won't try. This app is a stinker. Never mind the four alerts that pop up every time you launch the app (one telling you the URL, which immediately disappears before you can read it, then a second asking for your email address so they can spam you, a third asking for your location so they can send information to their advertisement provider, and then the URL one again). Never mind all the spelling errors throughout the app. Never mind the bogus information on their web site that was copied and pasted from Air Sharing's description, claiming that Discover can view iWork documents (it can't), can syntax color source code (it can't), can view RTF (it can't), and can view RTFD files (it can't). Never mind the irrelevant plastic teddy-pig icon. Never mind that in one place the app says that "social networking features" are coming in version 1.0, and in another it says they are coming in 2.0. Never mind that the Up Level button is tiny and placed right next to the ad banner so that you will accidentally register a click with their ad provider again and again. Never mind that the app description says it's localized to a handful of languages but it's really just in English (and grammatically awkward English at that).Never mind all that; that's just bad application design and poor business practice. It's the crashing that gets me. I should be able to open a photo without crashing. PDFs should be usable. That kind of thing. - Discover review by iPhoneMonger
Finally one that works!! Spent $7 on another app that sucked!
Love this one! - Discover review by Fullhousea8
very useful and chm It is the best share software I've ever met. And hopefully, it is can support the .chm type file. Thanks for your job - Discover review by QQ fan
Good But some file formats aren't actually supported. Also, pictures should show up full screen. Whenever I open a picture it is tiny and in the corner of the screen. Other than that, this app does what it says perfectly. 5 stars when the problems are fixed. - Discover review by ATC1094
Amazing I'm a student with a majoring in history and there is so much typing and computer work required that's it's easier to save files right to my phone and it's something I never forget rather than a flash drive - Discover review by Bsbdvjwjebnxbwjjdo
Thank You! Works great! Thank you for putting out this app for free! - Discover review by bittlebox
Basically useless without multiple file support THE GOOD:- iPhone-to-iPhone sharing- has access to the Camera Roll- can do some basic file operations on the device (move, rename, create folder)- search function (although it only searches file names, not the contents)THE BAD:- plain text files are displayed without line breaks- picture viewer doesn't fit pictures to screen by default- status bar can't be hidden- file modification timestamps are not preserved- at least 3 nagging messages at startup: '"Discover" would like to use your current location" (probably by AdMob), email registration and a connection hint- the ad is placed very close to the "Up Level" link, making it possible to click the ad accidentally instead of going up (this was probably developer's intention)- no obvious way to exit search mode and return to file list (you have to tap the search field again and then cancel)- the interface doesn't feel very polished and doesn't support some standard iPhone conventions, like slide to delete (I hope that will be improved in future versions)THE UGLY:- only supports HTTP, not real file sharing protocols like FTP or WebDAV- files can only be transferred one by one- Windows client software is just an Internet Explorer shell and offers no advantages over any other browser, except locating the iPhone via BonjourI see that Discover has some real potential, but I feel that it was released a little too early to compete with other similar utilities in the AppStore. - Discover review by Dude w/ an iPhone
Sales Professional - One app you need I've been trying to find an app that I can use to download Excel or Word files, instead of emailing them to myself. This works perfectly. PDF files work seamlessly as well. I've found that you have to think though what you need in an app, and then make it adapt to your needs. I.E.<---(that means example, not internet explorer), a contact list that can be edited on your desktop (i own a pc, not a mac) this program will function this way. I made a contact list in MS word, and then uploaded it to my ipod touch. If I need to edit it later, no problem, edit, resave, and upload to the ipod again. I just started with this app, so I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as productivity with it. It's FREE! - Discover review by Sales professional
