### 2/5 — No portrait mode?

*2026-01-05, version 5.9*

The lack of portrait mode is a very clear indication this application is developed by people who do not use the tools. One handed usage on most devices in landscape mode is impractical and often impossible and it can create an unsafe situation.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-12-14, version 5.9*

Save your money

### 2/5 — Doesn’t ever want to connect

*2025-07-18, version 5.7*

Video is sub par and tool is a serious pain to get to connect to wifi.

### 1/5 — Cool idea. Bunk equipment.
