User reviews

Best software on the market.

The negative reviews are most likely from people not having the correct server running. The app is virtually flawless.
The ability to scroll through footage and keep that time from camera to camera is amazing. Again if someone gave a lower than 4.75-5 stars they are not doing something correctly.

Solid app

Stable, works well and the interface is intuitive. I’ve used many security camera apps and this is one of my favorites.

Time broken with latest update, all recordings show +8hrs ahead

Requires you to go into settings and toggle the ‘use server time’ off and ON to get the correct time to display on recording:playback.

Otherwise everything is displaying about 8hours ahead of correct time. Not a server issue, this has something to do with the app. Had several users all have the same thing on iOS devices and this was the trick that got them displaying correctly again

Not working

Login says internal error. Try again later! WTH!
So much for checking on our baby.

Terrible

Playback of footage is always lagging and so slow that I can’t even watch footage on this app. It takes about 10 seconds for one second of footage to go by. Most of the time when I open the app, it says that my cameras are unreachable. I have to close the app and reopen. Absolutely worthless unless you are just looking to view live still footage and you’re not in any hurry to see what’s going on at your property.
