Awful app

I don’t know why iGeek moved to this app as it’s less than useless. The camera/video stutters when navigating; the audio is extremely poor; navigation is clunky and not user friendly, with items under random tabs or headings and the camera cannot be operated by swiping on your tablet/phone screen. I am so disappointed that iGeek have moved to this app as it’s rendered one of my cameras useless now.

Very spotty service

I’m not sure if it was the Vimtag camera or the app, but the combination just didn’t do what we wanted it to do. To be fair, my husband bought it to replace a trail cam, so maybe animal movement just wasn’t enough to set it off, but the camera and app had other issues.

The camera or app kept going offline, which wouldn’t be good if you’re using it for security. It wouldn’t automatically record video or pictures. I could use the app to manually take video, but the snapshots were just black. And I don’t think any of it saved to the SIM card.

The app notified us of “humans” being in the camera site when we were setting it up, but not once we got it outside. I’d get a warning in Chinese, but since I don’t read Chinese, that was useless.

Several folks reviewed saying it would be quicker to go look to see what was outside than wait for the app to connect to the camera, and I have to agree. The few times I was able to get it online, it took forever for the app to connect to the camera and even longer for the feed to come up.

Needless to say, the camera went back within 24 hours and the app deleted.

Cant add the device

I click on add device but dident work

Not too bad

It works

Important need

The app works, but it has some limitations that affect the overall user experience. Currently, users can only view one camera at a time. I would strongly recommend adding a multi-camera viewing feature that allows users to monitor at least two cameras simultaneously.

Additionally, the ability to create custom groups for specific cameras would make managing and monitoring multiple cameras much easier and more convenient.

More flexibility and control are needed to make this app truly effective. I hope the developers will consider these suggestions in a future update, as these improvements would significantly enhance the user experience.

Camera is not working correctly

I have not had this for a year yet and it’s already starting to give me problems. Do not buy not a good.

Excellent little cameras for the price

I really enjoyed having these cameras. I have one in my backyard to watch the wildlife. I have another one at my front door to let me know when deliveries are there. They work very well for me.

Faster to walk to your camera

It's literally faster to walk to where your camera is aiming to see what's going on. It doesn't matter how far it is it's gonna be faster to just go ahead and walk there and check on it yourself. This app is so painstakingly slow it's not even worth the trouble

Ok

The app is really good. The camera has high-quality but you probably don’t wanna stall notifications because you’ll get spam notifications from you moving at night if it’s in your room so you probably just don’t want to like turn on the notifications and plus it all like send you notifications when there’s not even something moving so probably just don’t install it but this is good.

Good quality for the price

The picture on the camera is good quality easy set up, but the app doesn’t work very well, when you get a notification and you click on it to see the video stream, it never loads constantly tells me to retry or it tells me there is no camera, so by the time you get to the live feed what it detected is no longer there

YOUR APP SUCKS

“Human Detected.” Clicks immediately… “Connection Timed Out.” Thanks. Good thing it wasn’t a burglar. DO BETTER.

Waiting game

The load time to phone is very slow. Every time I check the person has already left the area.

SLOW

Absolutely and utterly slow app . No updates offered .

pls update

works- sometimes. 70% of the time when i click on a camera to view, portrait view will stay for a second then boot you back to the main screen. i have to open and close the app 2/3 times for it to work, pleasee fix

Horrible app for good camera

From reading reviews this app was marginally better before an update.

It now Takes forever to load, and you got a 50 percent chance you'll have to refresh (pull down) to change from "add device" screen to show your camera(s).

The app is extremely sluggish once it accesses your camera. It'd be totally awesome if you people would fix the app and stop breaking things!

When I open the app it just loads and sometimes it will tell me to add a new device even though I’ve been using the same device for almost a year now
