Ads!!!!!! Really????
Which idiot thought it was a good idea to put ads in a security app? I get notifications and instead of being able to click and see immediately what’s going on I have to stop to clear ads, and I’m already paying for my subscriptions. This is the dumbest update ever especially when the app was already iffy and the so called descriptions of events are usually inaccurate.

Malvertisements
1 star.
The app itself works, but the advertisements being served are extremely concerning for a surveillance/security camera app. I was shown fake “your device has been hacked” scareware-style ads claiming my phone was infected after visiting adult websites and telling me to install cleanup software from the App Store.
This is not acceptable behavior for an app that users trust to monitor their homes. Whether these ads come from a third-party ad network or not, they damage trust in the platform and make the app feel unsafe and unprofessional.
Please review the advertising providers being used and remove deceptive/malicious ads immediately.
I and 11 other subscribers will be seeking alternatives.

Why ad?
I've had this app for quite a few years now and I subscribe to the cloud and well open up the app today and there is a pop up ad before I can even view my cameras. I asked for a refund and to cancel my service with them and they said no refunds! I don't want something pay for the service and ads. Ridiculous.

Not Helpful at All
Cust. Service not helpful, product does not work, neither does the app.

EDIT 1/28/2025, I am now reluctantly changing to 5 stars because after replacing my 8 channel FUNLUX NVR with a refurbished 8 Channel Zmodo NVR and because email support (I believe his name is Brandon, might be wrong) has been very helpful to me, My 2 NVRs through this Funlux App have been great for months without any problems. I have a more complex IOT Vlan System than the average user. I understand they don’t plan to make any more NVRs. This makes me very sad because their cloud service IMO, is only for Billionaires, maybe Millionaires, and I am unfortunately low middle class.
Always have been an unhappy NVR owner. Funlux app is no different than Zmodo app but I prefer Funlux app because it has dark mode and the Zmodo app doesn’t or didn’t the last time I compared. Either way this company is geared to sell way too expensive cloud service. As an NVR Owner I’ve had nothing but problems. Currently several devices are offline according to the app but they are online and working according to the monitor connected to NVR. IF I WRITE AN HONEST REVIEW LIKE THIS THE PROBLEMS START GETTING WORSE AS IF SOME ROGUE TECH IS TEACHING ME A LESSON. Look elsewhere folks. This is not a reliable solution for a sovereign home network survelience solution. Nobody likes having to get a ladder to climb 15’ to scan QR Codes that some rogue Zmodo / Funlux tech keeps disconnecting to teach you a lesson for writing an honest product review.
