### 2/5 — HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

*2022-05-09, version 3.14.35*

Al abrir la aplicación muestra este error: 
HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

en el release previo, no sucedía esto.

### 2/5 — Problema acceso

*2022-04-23, version 3.14.35*

HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

### 3/5 — App down

*2022-04-08, version 3.14.35*

La aplicación manda un error al abrirla el cual es HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

Ya lleva como un mes así y pensé que se darían cuenta y la repararían pero sigue abajo.

### 2/5 — No conecta con las cameras

*2021-12-01, version 3.14.30*

Desde la ultima actualización de la aplicación en sistema IOS ya no funciona 🥲
Aver si se resuelve…

### 2/5 — Non funzionA

*2021-11-16, version 3.14.27*

Da qualche giorno non vedo piu le telecamere

### 2/5 — It’s just OK

*2021-02-27, version 3.14.24*

As I have just read in another review, you CANNOT arrange the camera boxes in the order you want. That should have been the 1st thing the developers thought of and incorporated. Hey developer! Update this atrocity, please.

### 3/5 — Slow and drains my iPad Pro batteries

*2020-12-15, version 3.14.11*

I’m forced to use this as my client uses this older system. The app is fine, but it’s really slow to refresh when changing views. Plus the batteries on my iPad Pro drains so quickly, even when plugged it, it’s draining quicker than charging. And it won’t work on desktop Macs. Not sure if they’re still updating this software, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-08-26, version 3.13.1*

What horrible app, we tried  it for our business but is just  a waste of money and time , we  went with a local company and is amazing .
I would not be recommending this company to any of my business associates.
I would recommend fixing the problem before loosing more business.

### 3/5 — Not Connecting to Cameras after IOS update

*2020-08-02, version 3.13.1*

After completing the latest IOS update on my phone and iPad the app will not connect to cameras any longer.

### 1/5 — Aufzeichnung

*2020-06-15, version 3.13.1*

Servus Axis Team, 

die Aufgezeichneten Filme brauch ziemlich lange zum Laden, hier muss nachgearbeitet werden.

### 1/5 — Un disastro

*2020-01-29, version 3.12.20*

La uso collegata al citofono. Non è possibile vedere chi suona prima di aver risposto quindi conviene tenersi il vecchio citofono analogico. Con gli ultimi aggiornamenti non si riesce neanche a parlare con chi ha suonato il campanello e l’apertura della porta/cancello avviene con ritardo rispetto alle precedenti ti versioni.

### 1/5 — Requires an internet connection and account login

*2019-11-13, version 3.12.18*

This application along with the PC program is painful to use and useless for some applications that it would otherwise be perfect for. Specifically, it forces a login to your “MyAxis” account which renders it useless when the camera and client are not internet connected. I needed something for a standalone covert, mobile recorder using the memory slot for storage. This system would NEVER be connected to an internet enabled network. Axis Companion should allow for opting out of connecting it to “MyAxis”. I can’t even conceive of why a company like Axis would do this. It seems very selfish to deliberately cripple and application at the expense of customers just to gather & control information. Sad

### 2/5 — No manual camera add

*2019-09-26, version 3.12.14*

As far as I can tell there is no way to manually add cameras.  You need to be on the same network via WiFi.  First off,  for a business that’s not a good practice.  Secondly,  for my situation,  my cameras are only accessible via VPN for configuring and WAN for viewing.  Making the entire app pointless.  Please allow the ability to manually add your cameras.

### 1/5 — You need to setup on your PC first

*2019-09-07, version 3.12.14*

This app does not let you enter a password to connect to a new camera. So you need to create your site and connect to the camera on the PC Companion app, and then only will it work on your iPhone.

### 1/5 — Wenn dann irgendwann endlich der MAC Client kommt...

*2019-06-18, version 3.12.13*

Ich nutze die Lösung seit vielen Jahren.

Und es läuft!

Meine alten Kameras gibt es leider keine neue Firmware und damit diese AXIS Remote Kamera App nicht...

Das ist sehr schade werden solche Kameras doch wegen ihrer Langlebigkeit angeschafft. 

Sonst hätte ich mir ja auch etwas chinesisches kaufen können...

Was ich nicht verstehen kann, ist das AmacOS User von dem Hersteller komplett ausgeschlossen werden. 

Ganz zu Anfang war es ja zugesagt!

### 3/5 — Solid app missing some polish

*2019-05-14, version 3.12.10*

This app is mostly a fantastic addition to the companion family. I do wish I could order my cameras differently in the multi view though. It seems like a basic option and I’m surprised it does not allow for it. This is mostly something I would like to have when using it on my Apple TV. I do wish there were a few more options when on the Apple TV. It would be nice to click on one of the multi view cameras and enlarge it. 

Overall a good app, just missing a few touches in my opinion

### 1/5 — Leider unbrauchbar

*2026-01-26, version 3.14.66*

Ich habe die App seit über 3 Jahren ohne Probleme genutzt, nun ist es so das die App mich und meine Familienmitglieder ständig raus schmeißt und die App sich schließt. Ich habe nicht die Möglichkeit mich anzumelden - als es mal gekappt hat, wurde mir aufgezeigt, dass das Passwort falsch ist was nicht stimmt. Am liebsten null Sterne! Ich kann meine Kamera nicht mehr verwenden!

### 1/5 — Garbage app and product

*2024-01-07, version 3.14.58*

Overcomplicated useless technology. Got a AXIS M10 camera and tried to setup with the app. App got stuck multiple times during the registration process and email validation. In the end once I successfully accepted pages of terms and multiple logins  I got a message the support will be discontinued at end of 2024. Next my new Axis M10 could not connect and it directs me to use a desktop. Save your device space and your wallet. Go with another provider.

### 1/5 — broken

*2023-07-03, version 3.14.57*

Guys your latest update complete broke the app. my camera doesn’t load anymore

### 1/5 — Can never see playback

*2022-04-16, version 3.14.35*

This app is horrible. Playback never works.  No support. How can I see my playback???

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2022-03-18, version 3.14.35*

Tengo una red local con baria cámaras, pero me es imposible revisarla desde mi teléfono!

### 1/5 — Registrazioni non si vedono

*2021-12-09, version 3.14.30*

Con l’ultimo aggiornamento non si vedono più le registrazioni. Per favore sistematela e vi darò 5 stelle

### 1/5 — Seit einer Woche geht nichts mehr

*2021-12-07, version 3.14.30*

Bitte so schnell wie möglich beheben

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion seit Update

*2021-12-02, version 3.14.30*

Nach dem letzten Update funktioniert der Fernzugriff auf die Kameras über die App nicht mehr, App unbrauchbar.
Passwort der Kameras wird zwar abgefragt, aber keine weitere Verbindung zur Kamera. 
Muss so etwas kurz vor Weihnachten sein? Ich dachte auf Axis könnte man sich verlassen, aber für uns als Überwachung im Einzelhandel so nicht brauchbar.
Im Übrigen, die neue App funktioniert auch nicht, obwohl die entsprechende Hardware mit Firmware installiert ist. 
Hoffen das ist in kurzer Zeit gefixt, ansonsten fliegen in allen unseren Shop die Kameras raus.

### 1/5 — Problem 3.14.30

*2021-12-02, version 3.14.30*

Since 3.14.30 version update, I can’t check my home cameras. Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Incredibly unstable

*2021-11-05, version 3.14.27*

If I could rate these cameras any less than one star, I would gladly do it. These cameras are extremely unstable, very difficult to set up and quite limited in customer support.

### 5/5 — Worked well for last 6 years

*2025-03-20, version 3.14.66*

Have this app and a system for the last 6 years. This app is simple and to the point and reliable. Has worked great for me.

### 5/5 — La versión 3.12.18 no funciona la aplicación.

*2019-11-25, version 3.12.18*

Desde que he actualizado a la versión 3.12.18 en un IPhone 7 con el IOS 13.2.3 no se puede entrar en la aplicación. Con la versión anterior de Axis 3.12.17 funcionaba correctamente. Después de 3 semanas aun Axis no ha solucionado la incidencia y no tenemos acceso a la aplicación.

### 5/5 — Most secure entry level video surveillance app

*2019-11-07, version 3.12.18*

This is so much more secure than the mega-vulnerable chinese systems commonly used (Swann, rebranded Dahua, etc). Axis M3044 domes with on board SD card storage, plus this app, is a super stable home / small business surveillance system. Many reviews complain about lack of features, but geez this is a FREE APP! If you want features you have to pay.

### 5/5 — Reparado la exportación de video

*2019-10-05, version 3.12.17*

Ahora vuelve a funcionar correctamente! Ok

### 5/5 — Max

*2018-10-16, version 3.12.2*

Top ohne Beanstandungen

### 5/5 — 便利ですよ！

*2018-05-01, version 3.10.4*

Nasに付属のカメラアプリが使用できずにいた所でした。
防犯カメラとして十分です、nasに録画保存させています。
PCは起動しなくても録画出来るようです。
カメラを弄るのは初めてですが、簡単に設定できました。

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2018-03-12, version 3.10.1*

Thank you for the option to turn on/off the lights on some of your cameras.  Hope that there will be a sound button to play the loaded audio clips as well coming soon. A reboot option would be great along with compatibility with Apple Watch. The updates get better and better. Thank you!

### 5/5 — TOLL

*2018-03-06, version 3.10.1*

Ich habe sie App, sowie 6 Kameras aus der P33 Serie und eine Türstation A8004!
Gerade die letzten Updates waren klasse!

Egal wo man ist (WLan oder Mobilfunk) meldet die App sehr zuverlässig, dass jemand den Knopf an der Türstation betätigt hat! Das war vorher leider nicht der Fall!

Auch die neue und schnelle Aufteilungsmöglichkeit der Kameraansichten und die Live-Ansicht mehrerer Kameras ist toll gelungen!

Weiter so!!

### 5/5 — Alles wird besser

*2018-01-26, version 3.9.0*

Stetig wird an der App weiter entwickelt und zwar immer nur zum Besseren. Zuverlässige Kameras und gute App weiter so 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Very good after updates

*2017-12-22, version 3.8.0*

This app is getting better and better after the years. Axis is duing a good job with this app.
