### 1/5 — No fast playback

*2019-08-05, version 3.4.6*

Not much use if you want to fast forward through footage and the fastest speed is real-time. Back to the old version I suppose.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2018-03-04, version 3.4.5*

Bad UI and poor UX. App does not connect using iPad 2 with iOS 9 and on my iPhone 6 with iOS 11 I keep getting memory error and the app zaps battery so has to be removed from background and then it takes too long to launch when I need to view camera.

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2018-02-26, version 3.4.5*

Laughable to say the least. 2 weeks on a still no fix.
Surely the company qualifies for the Mickey Mouse award.

### 1/5 — What about an Apple?

*2018-02-22, version 3.4.5*

Any chance of getting software so that Alien will work with an Apple Mac Pro Computer?
How long is it going to take to iron out problems with I Pads?
Just installed your system ..but can’t view 😩😩😩

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2018-02-15, version 3.4.5*

Need to fix ASAP I need to view my property when working overseas will you fit the bill for a house burglary mmm

### 1/5 — What support

*2018-02-14, version 3.4.5*

I have emailed support a few times and never had a reply. I think that just sending a email to fix this problem will not resolve the issue it need a app fix and not a problem that be fixed by the end user. You will be waiting a while for it to get sorted use the non HD one it works ok still until this one get fixed.

### 1/5 — Shocking update

*2018-02-13, version 3.4.5*

Since the latest update this app don't work on any iPad! Very disappointing! Fix the problem ASAP and notify us please! I genuinely can't believe they messed up such an important detail. If my house gets robbed, I will be sending you the bill!

### 1/5 — Can’t use now

*2018-02-13, version 3.4.5*

Please send bug fix. Saying incorrect username password since update but they are correct

### 1/5 — Can’t access

*2018-02-12, version 3.4.5*

This update has lost me access to 17 sites, I cannot now view any from iPad Pro, not very good, fix needed ASAP

### 1/5 — App now not working with iPad Pro

*2018-02-12, version 3.4.5*

Installed this update and now I can’t use my iPad Pro to access my cctv. Keeps saying password not recognised. Get this bug sorted please or a facility to uninstall this useless update. Disgraceful

### 5/5 — App now not working after update iPad Pro

*2018-02-27, version 3.4.6*

iPad Pro done app update and now not working on login please send a fix as very inconvenient as fit this system for many customers 
Thanks please update with a fix

Hi Thanks for sorting out the updated software app now works great as before excellent service 5 star

### 5/5 — Good app

*2017-08-19, version 3.4.4*

Works well allowing remote access to all cameras and PTZ control of them. Would be good to have an option to access the camera menu over PTZ.

### 5/5 — Those of you with problems

*2015-02-28, version 3.4.1*

I have experienced a number of issues with the app in particular access via 3G, I would recommend that you access the alien web site and use the chat facility to sort your issues.
If they are not on line they will e mail you back.
I have been very well supported by a very patient technician.
So stop moaning and speak to the right people who have the skills and knowledge 😃

### 5/5 — Update to iOS 8.1

*2014-10-23, version 3.3.1*

It's not Aliens fault Apple messed up their own operating system. Just ask people who use Barclays online banking app!  What a problem that was!

Downloads Apples 8.1 iOS and this will fix it.  I've been using these systems for a while and never let me down.  

Really wish people would understand the actual problem before giving bad ratings to other companies apps that may have been affected by Apple rushing through its own software, which has had 3 updates in as many weeks.

Keep up the good work guys.

By the way your new HDSDI products look excellent in 1080p

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-09-04, version 3.1*

Much improved version and easy to use on ipad.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2013-07-09, version 3.1*

Great improvement on the old app for both iPhone and iPad. 
Once you set up the devices it could not be simpler to check on all your remote sites. With a great replay function you can always find out what is going on when you are not about.

### 5/5 — Quality love it

*2013-04-15, version V2.00*

Great app, got my cameras up, I look at them when on holiday, improvements- it crashes sometimes. That's it, good

### 4/5 — Great app

*2013-07-22, version 3.1*

Need a update so you can label camera names. Apart from that this app is great.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-31, version 3.0*

This is a very good update bringing high quality video monitoring facility in an easy ,reliable to use for novices or experts great job on this I must say.
Ps any programmes I can use on my mac to monitor my premises would be of assistance

### 4/5 — Good quality CCTV systems and app

*2012-12-22, version V2.00*

Very good value for money CCTV and the app is quality! One improvement could be to and fast forward speeds when replaying footage! Apart from that perfect! I use it to monitor 3 bars and clubs!
