### 2/5 — ☹️🙁😕

*2026-06-17, version 2.60.100*

The time on the app is always incorrect no matter if you have “ use Device time Zone” on or off! 

Not munch effort has gone in to designing this app it’s slow and unresponsive and you can’t playback recorded Vidio from the NVR! 
Very disappointing 😩😩

### 3/5 — Upgrade not progressing

*2026-04-25, version 2.60.100*

The App asks me EVERY time I enter, to upgrade to the latest cloud version. I have followed the process 5 times so far (connected to network and power), yet still it asks me to upgrade. Please sort this out!

### 2/5 — Basic. Not that user friendly

*2025-12-07*

I have several cameras set up for home. But when I want to close on of the cameras, there is not such option. Its either close all cameras or let all run. Frustrating.

### 3/5 — Android app

*2025-11-09, version 2.60.100*

What happened to the android app "?, no longer on the play store. Works fine on iPad. please advise.

### 3/5 — 2FA not supported

*2025-10-19*

It would be great if 2FA were supported.

### 1/5 — Comprehensive Review

*2025-09-30*

Settings (1 star):
Convoluted to say the least. It is very challenging to navigate where to find things. There are settings that I have no idea what they are for because it uses an acronym with no context. Figuring out how to turn the alarm
Notifications on took over a month and now I’m getting way too many. 

Intuitive (1 star):
Navigating the app is clunky, too many drop-downs, sub levels &c. No baseboard view.

Functions (2 stars):
The only reason this isn’t one star is because I like that when an alarm is triggered it takes a snapshot of whatever is moving, e,g. Takes a close-up picture of a car/person. 

Notifications (1 star):
You cannot select multiple notifications to delete, you have to do each one manually which takes forever. You cannot save or flag individual notifications either; and if you can and I didn’t realise that, that is still a problem with the usability of the app as it should be simple to figure out.

Aesthetics (1 star):
Apps are primarily about functionality but I do enjoy a visually pleasing/organised app. Helps give the initial impression that it is easy to use.

Final comment:
This comment is probably the most important piece of feedback for the developer. If you have to write a FAQ section on how to use your app then you have failed. An app should be so easy to use that you don’t need one. It’s almost like unconsciously admitting to yourselves that you know the app is too convoluted. If you’re developing a section of the app and you think to yourself, ‘maybe I should write some instructions on how to use this feature’ then that’s your early warning sign that you need to rethink what your making. PS nobody reads FAQ anyway so that was also a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2025-09-25, version 2.60.100*

Cannot view past video and keeps jumping back to current time

### 1/5 — 아이폰 실행오류

*2025-09-13*

개쓰레기어플

### 1/5 — 앱 종료 후 실행시키면 무조건 오프라인

*2025-09-10*

들어갈때마다 비번을 새로 쳐야합니다. 로그인 화면이 아닌 장치 - 편집 에서 비밀번호를 눌러 실시간 모니터링을 하는데
일주일 전부터 계속 비번을 장치에서 입력을 해줘야 실시간 화면이 보입니다. 
아니면 자꾸 오프라인으로 풀립니다. 
해결방안을 주세요

### 3/5 — Unable to view

*2025-09-09, version 2.60.90*

Frustrating. Worked ok for the first few months but in the last 3 months regularly fails to connect to the system.

### 1/5 — Issue with latest update

*2025-09-06*

The recent update introduced a bug where the password under “my devices” gets changed by itself and cameras go offline. And even when I input the correct password and save it, the cameras will be on temporarily but then the password will get changed again. 

And another issue is when I log out and log back in, it doesn’t save my camera placement configuration in Live View.

### 1/5 — Not work

*2025-09-06, version 2.60.90*

I can’t connect to my cameras since the last update

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-08-21, version 2.60.60*

Very bad experience

### 1/5 — Clunky, archaic, poor user experience on app.

*2025-05-28, version 2.60.50*

User friendly interface is unimpressive. Had one year. Looking to upgrade.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE APP

*2026-06-26*

I recently had a full security system installed and this is the app we need to use to view them and I cannot view Live camera in high-quality, I have no sound, the notifications keep turning off on the app, my motion detection keeps turning off after I turn it on, there’s nothing to playback even though the cameras were triggered and record 24/7, this app is useless and I’m frustrated that I paid over 4k for a security system that I can’t even view on my phone or playback footage or even have sound with. This app needs some serious work ASAP ! 

Not happy

### 1/5 — Great when working

*2026-06-13, version 2.60.100*

This app was working great … then stopped working !! I got in touch with the help department..who sent me through a list of fixes and unfortunately it didn’t work and now they won’t reply to me to help resolve

### 1/5 — Review unv

*2026-06-05, version 2.60.100*

Everything was ok but since the upgrade or update it has become unusable! Iphone & windows phone affected. No clips after events so constant refresh phone screen to see clips and lagging notifications makes this again the worse app I have ever used. Every time they update they break the app so avoid ezview!

### 1/5 — Terrible - the opposite of what you want in “security”

*2026-02-19, version 2.60.100*

This is easily the worst piece of software I’ve used, not just for a security app, but for any app - it’s all the worse that it’s for my home’s security. My condo board uses this app, and it is beyond useless - down for months, dodgy instructions from the person who set it up, the list goes on. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

### 1/5 — EZView App Review

*2026-02-13, version 2.60.100*

Terrible & the worst due to 1 notification sound that you Cannot change or lower volume. I have to keep an old phone in use due to being woken up abruptly because of the notification sound being very annoying and loud. Volume is on the main settings turning all other sounds down on phone. Android phone you can fix but IPhone you cannot & your left having to turn off EZView notifications or your phone,It Is That Terrible & Un Usable!!

### 1/5 — Always in offline mode even on wifi

*2026-01-24*

This app is pathetic. The cameras are showing mostly offline even when they are on and when the wifi is also working perfectly fine.

### 1/5 — Offline (again)

*2025-11-12, version 2.60.100*

Negative! It was working ok (ad-hoc buffering issues at times - but now OFFLINE. I’ve deleted and got it back online, only for it go offline 10-mins later. It’s not good enough! Sort this out PLEASE!

### 1/5 — Terrible / garbage

*2025-11-07, version 2.60.100*

This app need a lot of work done it’s always freezing up to then start over

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!

*2025-10-15, version 2.60.100*

I just had Uniview cameras installed at my house. The company that installed them ensured me that I would be able to receive push notifications about motion to my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.7.1. NOPE! I can’t get push notifications on this app or through the UNV link user app either. Nothing works! Such a joke! Avoid Uniview!

### 1/5 — 안됨

### 5/5 — The App is good

*2026-07-14*

The app is stable and reliable. Functional and easy to use.  Now I can monitoring my shop from my home. And the notification is accurate.

### 5/5 — Works well to view UNV NVR cameras

*2026-05-25*

The EZView UNV app works well to connect to and view cameras and video on a UNV NVR system.  I’ve been using this app daily for a year without any issues to view multiple camera systems. Like any other camera systems and apps I’ve used, you need a strong phone signal or WiFi signal to view the video, but that’s due to the camera resolution and not a problem with the app. Overall, I am very happy with this app.

### 5/5 — 갑자기먹통됐어요

*2025-11-13*

오프라인이라고 뜨고 안되는데 어떻게 해야하나요??

### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-09-15, version 2.60.90*

I’ve been using this app for a year to remotely connect to a UNV NVR that’s hard wired to a gigabit router and has 8 4k cameras. I use it to view the cameras live streaming and remote video playback. It works well.  The phone signal strength and the resolution of the cameras or video will determine if the video is good quality or slow to connect. Overall, the app works well and does what it’s supposed to do.

### 5/5 — R

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2025-06-05, version 2.60.50*

The latest update fixed all of the issues, app works perfectly now, great app, easy to use and good features.

### 5/5 — Works as intended

*2025-04-29, version 2.59.9*

I use this app to remotely connect to my NVR to view the cameras live and watch recorded videos.  It connects quickly, is easy to navigate, and works well for how I use it.

### 5/5 — Not work

*2025-01-04, version 2.59.2*

Not working

### 5/5 — Working very well

*2024-03-07, version 2.39.2*

So far so good. App has been more stable than others I have used. Installing these systems for clients and I appreciate how powerful the mobile app is now.

### 5/5 — So far so go

*2024-01-25, version 2.39.0*

Nice clean app. Works well.
