### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-01-23*

I have the EF IP Sidekick device which powers a camera, assigns it an IP and provides a WiFi network for me to join with my iPhone XS. The hardware unit works but this app always shows “no devices on the local network” even when I am connected to an access point on my network where I have multiple cameras. It also looks like it hasn’t been updated in years as it does not fit the larger layout of iPhones made after about 2016. 
This was billed as a professional installers tool a few years ago when I bought the device but, given the horrible app, it is basically useless. If you don’t know the default IP of the camera then you certainly cannot find it using this tool.

### 2/5 — EF Sidekick

*2019-12-10*

Needs update!!  Keeps crashing on my iPhone X.

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2019-03-13*

Continues to crash I’m using iPhone 10 up to date with the latest iOS and it force closes after I try to connect to my camera

### 5/5 — Works as intended!

*2019-02-22*

This has been a valuable time saver since I purchased it several years ago. 

Makes focusing and set-up a breeze.

### 1/5 — Won't let me select the camera

*2015-01-29*

When I tap the PoE button in the top left and my list of cameras pop up, it won't let me select anything on this list. Please please update the app. Your device is expensive and I would like the app to work.
