### 2/5 — Horrible Support

*2025-08-10*

For an app that’s designed to integrate into a company at several levels, I find it hard to believe there is ZERO customer support. All of our guards activities are scrambled, the app keeps “blipping out” on several devices and completely deleting the on going reports. Is there a customer service to call?!  Nope. Not even a support email that’s monitored or responsive.  My company is looking to move elsewhere very soon.

### 3/5 — Good overall

*2025-07-05*

I’ve used others like Destiny Security App, and this one is pretty good. Three things need to be addressed before it’ll ever get a 5 star from me. Belfry desperately needs a desktop version for creating reports. The admin level supports desktops of course, but my company also has a VPO department (video patrol officers) and for now, they’re stuck having to switch from their PC’s over to an iPad to create reports, then back to the PC to continue alarm monitoring. Extremely tedious. The other thing: NIGHT MODE!! The blinding white background has caused many guards to almost walk into stuff at night after being blinded by the bright app . . . always having to turn down the brightness isn’t practical.

One MAJOR issue is lack of support.  With so many security companies moving to apps like this, there needs to be a LIVE SUPPORT AGENT available via phone 24/7 for any Belfry related technical issues like logging in, etc. That agent can then determine if the issue is on the security company side OR on the Belfry side. Lately, I have been unable to log into my company phone via the admin portal. As a field supervisor, the admin portal is crucial for getting my job done. Belfry keeps asking me for the code provided by my “preferred authentication app”. Problem is, I’ve never been able to set that up. No QR code, no link or anything.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-06, version 2.0*

Terrible, Security company uses it to play with your time.

### 1/5 — A scam

*2024-11-15, version 1.14*

This app is a scam it’s because of this app VETRANS SECURITY COEPS OF AMERICA uses it for the employees. It’s because of this app the owner of the security company is blaming this app for not paying its employees in almost a MONTH

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-29*

Terrible

### 3/5 — Integration

*2024-02-18, version 1.12*

Honestly it’s not a terrible app for security. It does just about everything that we need. However it would be nice to be able to do a vehicle pre check. 

My biggest issues is, there is no integration with iOS calendar. I would love to be able to add my shifts to my phone calendar. That would give it a 5 star in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-09-22, version 1.12*

Is bad

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-07-25, version 2.9*

This app has too many bugs. For one, it keeps signing me out and asking me to sign in with MFA to access my pay stub and even request time off. I’ve signed in multiple times, but it continues to do this as if I’m a brand new user. I changed my phone number a while ago and updated the number within the app. If I delete the app and reinstall it, the app lets me sign in with my new number that I updated to, but whenever I try to sign in with MFA (whatever that means), it keeps sending the code to my old phone number, which I no longer have access to. So, how does it send the code through that old phone number when I literally changed my number through the app? Please fix this, as I’m quite frustrated about this, unless it has to do with the company I work for, which I doubt it does.

### 1/5 — Not working

### 1/5 — Croatia will be a nuclear power before this app works

*2025-09-13, version 2.4*

### 1/5 — Security Officer

*2025-06-20, version 2.3*

This app is terrible since I changed my phone to iPhone 16. My location is always glitching now it’s always saying I’m not on worksite which is creating issues with me and my employer plz fix bug sometimes I can’t even clock out now they’re saying I’m getting a. Write up warning which is not fair

### 4/5 — Delete

*2026-01-01, version 2.5*

Wish there was a way to delete the chats.

### 4/5 — Major Improvements

*2025-12-19, version 2.5*

Came back to change my review for the better. For those that need direct support reach out via email. The folks at Belfry have greatly improved their response times. I’ve also signed up for any updates for outages, etc., which has been extremely helpful. And DARK MODE!!  WHU HU!!  It’s about time. Keep up the good work Belfry team!!

### 4/5 — Dark mode please

*2025-08-07, version 2.4*

The blinding white screen is annoying at night. Please add a dark mode

### 4/5 — Good overall

*2025-06-29*

I’ve used others like Destiny Security App, and this one is pretty good.  Two things need to be added before it’ll ever get a 5 star from me. Belfry desperately needs a desktop version for creating reports. The admin level supports desktops of course, but my company also has a VPO department (video patrol officers) and for now, they’re stuck having to switch from their PC’s over to an iPad to create reports, then back to the PC to continue alarm monitoring.

### 4/5 — Clock in bugs !!!

*2024-03-11, version 1.12*

Every time I try to clock in it won’t let me it say your to early but it work for the other employees I just don’t get it 🤦🏾‍♂️

### 3/5 — Can’t clock out.

*2026-03-06, version 2.6*

Once I leave the site location I cannot clock out. If I am not at work then I should be able to clock out.

### 3/5 — Shaking my head…

*2026-02-10*

The app has many errors when taking pictures on patrol… also there is no way in heaven or hell I’m going back to a site just to clock out. Get a grip

### 3/5 — All bad

*2026-01-20*

We need an option to mute the open shift notifications. My job just posted over 200 shifts and is literally spamming my notifications. I can barely tap on things when notification banners pop up back to back. This happens often.
