VIA App 17+

The app has ONE thing to do, present stuff. And it can't seem to do that.

With something like opening a document from OneDrive, Google Drive, etc, it seems like it would be a central hub for things to project. It presents multiple service icons to tap after you connect...

Except that it doesn't really do anything. Tapping OneDrive doesn't open the file picker API or my OneDrive app, it tries to load a web interface to log into a service to grab something directly from OneDrive (which your company may not allow). Also, why should I expect users to re-log into every service inside of this app (and ONLY this app)? iOS has a native file manager. Use it.

Switching to any other app IMMEDIATELY kills the VIA connection, so you cannot first connect and then share from another app.

What you can try to do is use your device's built-in AirPlay to connect to the VIA device. That allows you to actually share your screen or open a document from OneDrive or Dropbox or something.

Basically, the app itself is beyond useless.

The VIA device itself is also pretty terrible, as the AirPlay functionality keeps crashing and freezing the device, preventing all incoming connection attempts.

Does this company not test their own products? The hardware is crappy and the app is useless. The terrible grammar and engrish inside of the app also makes it clear they don't care about any professional appearance.

We have had 10 of the VIA Go devices for over a year and it’s been nothing but issue after issue. The app is horrible because you can only function while inside the app. Unlike with AirPlay you can use different apps. When trying to use on the computer, it always says “server can’t be reached.” I think we are glitz switch to Crestron

Broken interface and outdated method for accessing files. When I could pull a document up it constantly switched between size formats with no way to stop it.
