Stoped working!!!

Worked great before I updated it now it won't work at all!!

V Max

The start up is fast and the move between views is very good. The toggle of next quad view is nice but I would like to see some way to set a specific quad by choosing each pic for each quadrant.

On the I Pad the quad is the most useful as it allows a reasonable view and allowing a custom format would be helpful.

Latency for PTZ movement should be improved even though presets can be used to avoid latency.

I would like to see the ability to have custom text in the preset mode so you can ID the preset without having to remember which number is which view.

Please make review of cams easier as the current set up is slow and cumbersome and often hangs when in use.

Good App that could use improvements,

Good upgrade

I very much like the recent update. Works flawlessly for me. A really usefu improvement would be to allow a separate default page configuration for each device for those who are monitoring multiple locations. It would be nice not to have to click on the "4 page" configuration for our system with only 4 cams. Ditto the "9 page" configuration for our system with 9 cams. Hopefully, in a future upgrade.

Digital Watchdog Fan

To the user who got a 'network protocol error': one of the settings on your Internet connection changed. To the user who said it doesn't playback: only the 480 & Flex models offer playback. The stripped down V-Max doesn't have that option. This app is way better than Samsung's Ipolis or Everfocus's Mobilefocus. Thumbs up DW. Your biggest fan.

Best App I have used

By far the best app that I have used. The Help menu that has been added with this upgrade has all of the answers that I was looking for. The 2 finger page turn is an axcellent feature as well as being able to move the cameras around by using one finger. The search feature is user friendly and has helped when I need to review video quickly. Very fast and easy to use. GREAT APP. GREAT product line!!!

fantastic upgrade!

When i first upgraded the app i was fristrated as it seemed to not do the page turn feature as we were use to but once i read the help menu, and started to use the two finger push - all was right with th world. the new remote programming is awsome, the ability to move the camera in the various positons on the fly is perfect as i manager multiple location through the region. very intuitive!

Thank you DW... another 5 star release!

Dw app flaw

Love the app .... BUT! I cant look at single view camera then swipe my finger to switch to next camera. 4 stars. Correct this and it will be perfect!

Upgrade works, but lost nice features

After upgrading, every site connects and works. But I sure miss the swipe left or right to bring up the next camera. Not only was that 'flashy', it made scrolling through images easier.
This new version is slow on my iphone4.

Now off to check and see if they put in the playback speed indicator when watching recordings.... Nope. Playback all but dead on this version with no intuitive controls for Play direction and speed control.
Sad.

excellent app that is being misreviewed

After reading the reviews I have to point out to the 1-stars that they probably have the wrong setting for their IP entered. When I had the system installed by my team at Solutions International we linked the device to my home IP before I left for a trip. When I tried to run the app the first time from my hotel I was greeted by a blank screen and a notice that I could not connect. Upon getting in touch with my team they informed me that I had been given some misinformation regarding the proper setup of the software and that an alternate IP must be used to connect from an offsite location. Try getting in touch with the guys you had install the system for the proper information needed to connect. Aside from this minor connection issue the app is excellent I can keep an eye on my place and make sure that everything is in order. Quality of the picture is partially dependent on the standard of your cameras but in most cases delivers a sharp and clear image. The picture does have a slight time delay of about .75 seconds from real time but that fact aside I would recommend the Digital Watchdog system to any Mac user. PC users will have better luck with the Honeywell system which also has a iOS app but is made to run off a PC platform. Hope this helps people out.

A few glitches but not bad for free!

I was a bit skeptical after reading all of these negative reviews but I got the app for my security system and have to say yeah there are a few known issues with this app but over all it does pretty much everything that is promised. It works fine on my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 haven't tried it on an iPod because it doesn't say anywhere on the box or literature that it works on that device, but I have no connection problems. The app runs smooth and lets face it can you really beat the fact it's free? I think once the bugs are fixed should be a 5 star app.
