This is easily the worst software I have ever used. Barely anything works — maybe 5% of the app functions properly, and that’s being generous. It’s shocking that this was ever approved for release. Every year the company pushes out a “new” app, and somehow each one is worse than the last.

I now have five different apps installed, and each one barely handles a single basic function. None of them are fully developed, none are properly maintained, and none feel finished. Instead of fixing their broken apps, they just abandon them and release another poorly built replacement. It feels like there’s no long-term plan, no quality control, and no accountability.

The desktop software is just as bad — clunky, unreliable, and outdated. It’s honestly unbelievable how such solid hardware can be paired with software this dysfunctional. The software experience completely drags down the brand. At this point, the company needs a complete overhaul of its software development team because what they’re delivering right now is unacceptable.

Playback Useless

Live view is fine. Selecting a camera for playback begins a terrible experience of stalling, skipping, jump to beginning where you eventually give up locating the scene you want.

Garbage

Terrible app and push notifications fixed

Works well enough little jack

I haven’t had any problems really with the app, with Amcrest cameras I have had a couple go down during warranty but they replaced them in less than 2 weeks. The app is a little jank with how it sometimes will just close the current camera your viewing or exits full screen for no reason but nothing that completely breaks it.

Terrible App

The app has not been providing event notifications since September. I was advised they are working on the problem. Can’t believe it takes this long for a solution. I am searching for a new system.
