Software

For wireless operation with a smartphone or tablet, the MobileLite Reader requires a simple app download available on either the App Store or Google Play Store. This review will focus on the Android version of the app but both the iOS and Android versions look and act the same.

After connecting to the MobileLite’s wireless network and opening the app up, we are greeted with the Devices page. From here you can select either the media on your own devices, the media attached to the reader, or the media in any of the other devices connected to the MobileLite’s network.

For now we will select the small question mark in the upper right and check the settings menu to set up the device. The aptly named General tab gives us some general information on the device and lets us rename it should we want as well as lets us know how much juice the internal battery has.

The Connection Settings are where you set the MobileLite’s visibility and WPA2 encryption password. It is always a good idea to set up the security first before sharing any media.

The Network Connections tab is where you can bridge the MobileLite’s network to another Wifi connection to maintain internet access. This functionality is seamless and simple requires a quick device reset.

With the MobileLite setup all that is left is to share and move data around. Within the app you can browse folders or create new ones within your own device or any card or USB storage connected to the reader. Moving and copying files takes nothing more than a simple button press.

Files can be sorted based on types ranging from documents to pictures, movies to music. These can also be opened and streamed natively or with another program of your choice. And should you lose connection or need to close the streaming, the MobileLite reader will actually save and remember your place.
