Update went backwards

App was working flawlessly, infact once set up i never had to touch it.Since the last update it is almost always showing my NAS as offline... very frustrating
Does exactly what it says on the tin

Been running this for a while now and it's one of those things that you just take for granted – until you rebuild your Mac and remember it's not a built-in function.I have a NAS and use it constantly. Automounter makes it seamless.If this is what you need, just get this app and pay the few bucks for the upgrade and sit back with a Martini. Nice.
Fantastic

Previously I’d been using the built-in autofs, however this solution was somewhat buggy and I couldn’t get it working with High Sierra. This application works perfectly. When I open my laptop at work, my work shares are mounted quickly and flawlessly. When I open my laptop at home, my home shares are mounted. No command-K required. No mucking about. It just works. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your review 🙂
I love this App!

5/5 too easy. Must have app. Mounts the drive, doesn't complain, gets the job done. I'm running on Catalina and Big Sur, no issues to report. Works flawlessly and mounts my NAS PLUS the pro feature of mounting as a /volume/ has saved me hours and hours and hours of work when I need to move DAS between hosts
This is a large update, and while I have done my best to test all scenarios there might be some configuration that I haven't been able to test. If you experience any issues, please get in touch with support@pixeleyes.co.nz. Thank you for your continued support!
