Confusing and impossible to set up
Actual scam and waste of money. Will tell you that holding the pairing button will do something but it wont. Better to set your money on fire to keep warm.
The App is the Only Option
Lights literally need the app to function. Say your phone runs out of storage and deletes this app, nothing else actually works to control them. They flicker until connected to an app IE you CANNOT EVEN TURN THE LIGHTS ON WITHOUT AN APP
App
Had these cameras for a long time, they are great! Wish they had left the app alone though, took a simple to use app and made it aggravating and complicated.
Ads?
So now every time Im gonna enter the app to watch my cameras before anything I have to see an ad? I don't need ads jumping in me when I am trying to see who at the door
Last Version
You completely changed Home page layout and management 👎👎👎
Now has annoying Marketing advertisements, should be only a control App which was awesome… 👎👎👎
Previously would be 4.2 stars!

Annoyance
No, I don’t have a problem with geeni, but the motion detection software is becoming a problem more and more each day when I try to mainly control my camera that has motion protection turned on motion, detection triggers, off of literally nothing the only thing that moves in the room that this camera is stationed in is a cat and a dog when they’re not in the room if I’m moving the camera around motion detection should not be overriding manual controls it does this when you turn motion detection off guess what the camera override manual controls and then recalibrate where it’s facing and you cannot stop this process you have to let the camera do it. There is no need for this to be a automatic feature. There should be a setting or if the camera is physically moved by someone then yes make it an automatic feature because this is getting annoying

Trash
New update makes everything absolute trash.
Constantly going off-line
Not very reliable. It is constantly going off-line even though I have great Internet. It will freeze after a few minutes so will have to realize this, close the app and reopen. My driveway for example is very frustrating as I check waiting on a car to come up. People are at my house but the camera froze and shows me an empty driveway. Junkkkk!

Horrible
They have recently changed the cosmetic design of this app and it’s HORRIBLE. They have designed the main screen to be all these
little tiles that you touch to turn lights on and off. Although the tiles can be re-arranged, it’s very restrictive and you can’t place the tiles in any type of order that makes sense and they move all oven the place.
May be time for a new smart home system.

Forcing to use cloud storage
The latest update is now forcing people to reformat their SD cards every time they try to search for footage and then be prompt to activate cloud storage, which is way too expensive
Ads
Another paid for service with ADs (including pop ups) in the app. No longer use the cameras but I still have “smart” plugs that I use less and less due to the ADs in app.
Slower
Video takes much longer to load then the previous update, I’m staring at a black screen for about 20 seconds before it starts up
Update is worse
The update made it so it takes a ridiculous number of steps to change the time for one of my automation timers.
Infester de notifications -80%
L’app étais pas mal avant mais depuis quelques semaines je reçois plusieurs notifications par jours qui m’insiste a payer un abonnement. Tu penses avoir une alerte de mouvement ces encore une de leurs offres à rabais.
Water fountain not working
The app keeps saying the device isn’t connected even when I’m right next to it with my phone that has wifi and Bluetooth turned on. There is no way to make the water flow for my cats. Now I have to wait for a new water fountain for my cats.
Infuriating update
Loved this app for years but it is becoming unrecognizable and unusable. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
NOT an improvement
DISAPPOINTED….Have been using this app with geeni products for 4 or 5 yrs now, nothing fancy, mostly light and fan controllers that I turn on and off or occasionally have programmed for different times of the day and it has worked as advertised.
However, the latest “upgrade” (not) of the app requires an unnecessary “confirm” when you want to turn a light or a fan on or off.
I don’t know anyone who would consider this a necessary, helpful or productive feature. Just more unnecessary steps and clutter in the name of “improvements”.

Fix your app?
What a mess, who rewrote to app. My niece can make a better app. Login drops, no continuity of use. Needs zero stars.
5.0.1 Update Fixed Compatibility Issue
The 5.0.1 update restored compatibility with my phone which I highlighted in my previous review. Very happy for that.
Adds
Are you serious, why should anyone have to sit and watch an add in order to turn the lights on or off. This is so ridiculous. Please fix it!!!
