Please fix this asap. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-01-26* Only connects to cameras when on-site, never able to get it to work when away which defeats the whole purpose.. ### 1/5 — Pls fix *2017-04-01* Pls fix not working since update ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-03-31* New update crashes upon successfully logging in to live mode. Previous versions worked fine. ### 1/5 — Poor search functionality *2016-04-04* This app works great for live viewing, but if you try to search for a previous time it never works. If pass until they fix this. ### 1/5 — Useless History search functions *2016-01-26* We purchased a video security system for our commercial building from Koorsen Fire & Security. The system was supposed to allow viewing thru the Internet. We were told to use this app with our iPads. It is function for realtime viewing, but the Search feature that is supposed to allow looking at earlier times works very poorly. ### 1/5 — Does not connect after update *2014-09-11* Like the previous reviewer, we could no longer view unless powering down and restarting our devices. Installed a competing system and all works well while this app still does not work. Pretty sloppy to overlook buggy app probs given its purpose. Reflects poorly on Clinton products. ### 1/5 — Have to restart phone *2014-08-30* I updated the app and now in order to get a live video I have to turn off and restart my phone each time I open the app and takes up to 20 try's to get a connection. Never had this Kind of problem before. Please fix ASAP! ### 1/5 — CEC Connect-Broken? *2013-05-17* Can someone please fix? Worked fantastic until the update, now doesn't work at all... 5 stars if working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My clients love this *2018-07-13* CEC is very cleanly designed and intuitive. I have installed it on hundreds of smartphones and continue to provide support for it across all the DVR models. Of course, the only real difficulty people seem to have it remembering their password. The ability to screen shot turned out to be utilized far more than I imagined-so turning out a brief video clip to the photos folder would be great. ### 5/5 — Develop An Apple Watch App *2015-03-15* I want CEC Connect app on my Apple Watch. I want "My Access" camera and Text Messaging Quick Commands app for my Apple Watch. I want to be able to text Quick Commands from my wrist. Developers, please develop an app for the Apple Watch App Store. This will be the quickest way to access my alarm and camera system using quick commands from my Apple Watch. I would highly recommend CEC Connect to a friend or colleague. ### 5/5 — Awsome app *2011-08-20*  ### 4/5 — Works great but... *2014-09-21* New Apple update shows a screenshot with a black background instead of icon it's confusing ### 4/5 — Update *2013-04-23* In general the app works well. However we cannot log in via mobile (iPad or any mobile) since the app update ### 3/5 — App not working since update *2017-03-31* This app tries to connect to our cameras and just closes right away since the update recently. Please check it. Thank you! ### 3/5 — App Icon *2014-09-14* Not a big deal, but the app icon shows up as a screenshot on a black background, not the one pictured in the App Store. Other than that I haven't had any connection problems with the new update like other reviewers have said. ### 2/5 — Wed., May 17, 2023 WHY DID IT STOP WORKING?! *2023-05-19* Wed., May 17, 2023 WHY DID IT STOP WORKING?! WIFI working fine for other apps. Yes, turned WiFi on/off ### 2/5 — No support for iPad 1 *2013-08-20* This app would be great if it works on my iPad one. ### 2/5 — Not good *2012-12-05* It only works inside the house with wi-fi I try in s diferent place with wi-fi but dont work :-( --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
