Ridiculous!
Cameras freeze up when someone or something triggers it so you can't see who or what it is. Now these annoying ads to take up precious time! I am regretting more and more paying for cameras that are basically useless now!
Talk about ruining your own app.
Used to be a great app for my camera system. Now I can’t even open the app without it crashing half the time trying to open up a camera view. And the ads… why? I’m not sending an email to Funlux support either. They are aware of all the issues at this point and have fixed nothing.
Frustrated
This app has a bug and I’m sicka this. Pop ups tictok pop ups and I don’t even have it. I wish you would update this.
Stupid
They updated the APP and allowed ads in it. This has to be the dumbest idea ever!
STOP THE AD’S!
STOP THE AD’S!
Ads
Added ads their app! What kind of developer does that.
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.

Thanks for Ruining Dark Mode!
Update 5/26/2026:
The developer wants me to reach out to support via email to describe my troubles with dark mode. The developer should be able to see that it’s totally removed. Every screen on the app used to work as traditional dark mode. I run every app on my iPhone in dark mode and I do the same thing with my PC. I avoided the Zmodo App for years because it has no dark mode. I am not talking about just the screen around the cameras view. I am talking every page in the app.
Secondly. The adds are annoying. It’s a shame you feel the need to bother me with them so that you can support the app. If your corporate owners would have realized you had the best NVR system with wi-fi cams for the price and would have stuck with it instead of trying to force everyone into way too expensive cloud service, you wouldn’t need the adds. Also, I fail to see how any of the adds you are running, interest anyone who wants a security cam app. the add that particulary bothers me is the bogus malware advertisement that tells me my iPhone is infected. The only infection on my iPhone are that the zmodo and funlux apps are infected with bothersome advertisements. iPhones cannot be infected as long as the user only gets adds from the app store.
THIS WAS ALWAYS MY GOTO APP FOR MY ZMODO AND FUNLUX CAMS (even though any functions to install new cams would not work because they hadn’t updated the app for so long) BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS VERSION HAD DARK MODE. I seen the latest update and reluctantly clicked it. Now True Dark Mode has been removed. I prefer dark mode because I am older and I also now have cataracts in my eyes. Why can’t you folks learn not to break what doesn’t need fixing? Restore dark mode and I’ll give you five stars. Right now you get two stars and I’m considering 1 star.

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.

Ads for paid subscribers
Advertising should not be forced upon users paying for subscription services. Strongly considering canceling all services as a result of this change.
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.

Could not login / sign up
When my phone language is set to a different one other than English, the app messed up and would not let me login or sign up with new account
Zmodo, Funlux, MeShare
So all three apps, and cameras, and NVRs, and cloud service if you are ultra wealthy, are the same company. I would prefer to use the Funlux app because it has a dark mode. However, it appears that only the Zmodo app is being maintained. Funlux app likes to not work very well and if I have to get disconnected cameras online it doesn’t work at all. Might as well use the Zmodo app. Meanwhile this company as a whole has not updated cams and NVRs since maybe 2018. They are getting passed up by other companies that offer more features and more affordable cloud service but I refuse to pay for anyone’s cloud service. I wonder if this company is fading away. Other companies claim much better night vision and more accurate motion detection alerts to actually be humans or animals instead of gnats and other flying insects at night and wind blown tree shadows during the day.

Probably Going to Cancel
This app was great years ago. Within the last few years, the notifications for detecting motion have been declining. There have been instances of it not even recording when someone is literally right in front of the camera, it didn’t give us notifications of deer outside - which is bad bc deer are big enough, and sometimes it won’t even notify us of things as big as cars out front! But it will give us notifications of little bugs flying around and the light change at dusk and dawn…bc that’s what we all want right? It’s not our cameras…we have more than 5 that all work fine, and I’ve tested whether it’s the camera or app and it’s definitely the app. This is absolutely unacceptable as this is basically security that people and families rely upon for safety and comfort. Unless something changes immediately, I’ll be looking elsewhere for something more reliable.

No Bluetooth
App works well cameras are good have had this app for going on 7 years. Suddenly one day a couple months ago the audio from the app will not play through my Bluetooth. Hope this gets fixed soon.
Stopped Working
The app stopped working. The cameras were good and it was a good purchase for many years. I was going to purchase a system for my parents but the devices are no longer supported.
