Not reliable

More than half the time it can't connect

Kaputt

Nothing but problem since iOS 10.2 and the latest update. Doesn't connect to any of my 5 Axis cams, grouped into one "site". Same for both me (iPhone 6), my wife (iPhone 7) and my daughters iPad :(

No more access to recordings following update

Excellent app - even better support!

Miserable experience to no end

I went through all the bother of setting up an account (and it was much bother as account set up kept failing; I suspect password restricitons but no info available on that. Took two tries and two email accounts). What did I find? Absolutely nothing about how to set up camera in the app. Just advertiseements. App Store directs you to an Axis website. Another mess of confusing information mostly ads for services. As far as I can tell you have to use a PC program to do set up. Deleting. Want my time back.

Needs a night mode

Does the job when supported devices. Needs a night mode background (dark grey or black) for night time use. Currently backgrounds are all white and with so much white space the app lights up the night.

Sharing doesn't work on iPad

Sharing a video recording doesn't seems to work with the iPad version. It works on iPhone 6. All devices running iOS 10.0.2 at the moment

Lacks features

Installs and set up is easy but very disappointed this app is so weak and lacks many typical features other security camera apps use. For example, can't even activate the cameras LED lamp.
They make excellent camera so surprised didn't make more of an effort to release or improve this app. Don't bother with it!!

No sites listed

1) The Report a Problem link in iTunes doesn't work - leads to a page that doesn't exist anymore.
2) Logging in to an account setup with a PC, I don't see any of the sites I set up on the PC.
3) Attempting to create another site in the app, I can discover the camers but they're both greyed out.

Ugh

Make it possible so I can add cameras manually and I'll give you a higher rating. I can't add my camera because it's behind a firewall using port forwarding and your limited software won't let me add it.

Be ware

No actual app just stolen your email
