Also, you cannot delete or make some other modifications. ### 4/5 — Sometimes works *2025-11-07, version 1.0.6* When this system works it’s pretty nice otherwise nada Finding a way to make it work on PC easily too??? The mobile app is working very well recently I like the way these guys upgrade stuff and surprise me that way Keep up the good work ### 4/5 — Affordable *2025-10-04, version 1.0.6* Very good quality, easy to use and install. ### 3/5 — Sometimes works *2025-08-15, version 1.0.6* When this system works it’s pretty nice otherwise nada Finding a way to make it work on PC easily too??? ### 4/5 — Stop asking *2025-08-11, version 1.0.6* Stop asking ### 2/5 — Used to be ok not anymore *2025-05-20, version 1.0.6* Does not work when away from home. Which makes it useless ### 3/5 — Camera storage *2025-03-28, version 1.0.6* Storage is too short, a single camera can only be assigned to HDD Group 1/2 but can not be assigned to any other group, this needs to be changed so i could have one camera store on more that one group of hard drives or make the hard drive groups bigger like a group could cover up to eight HDD’s as part of a single group ### 2/5 — Cameras aren’t regularly working *2025-03-14, version 1.0.6* We have to unplug and re-plug in our cameras power source almost every day. If we want it to work all of the time, we would need to do it several times a day. They used to work great, but this is how it has been for years. ### 3/5 — Don’t get notifications *2025-02-13, version 1.0.6* The app is not good. The camera view quality is OK as far as the app goes, but I don’t get notifications from my cameras whenever someone is detected I could be user error on setting up. May have to call Tech Support to see if you could fix. ### 3/5 — Camera issues *2025-01-22, version 1.0.6* Camera kept loosing signal ### 4/5 — Owner *2024-11-08, version 1.0.6* Need to be upgraded with better clearance need to add sound to the equipment . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2025-10-08, version 1.0.6* I tried getting system to work but not easy ### 1/5 — Notifications won’t work *2025-08-28, version 1.0.6* You try to turn on the notifications and the app shuts off ### 1/5 — Totally unusable *2025-08-05, version 1.0.6* Got disconnected from the app and now it won’t let me reconnect. Even when it was connected it was a pain to use and find what you’re looking for. ### 1/5 — Bad service *2025-03-19, version 1.0.6* Keeps going offline even when wired into the router. Unable to access the video from the preferred app. ### 1/5 — This App NEVER Works *2025-02-03, version 1.0.6* About every 1 and 25 time you open this app to view the cameras it DOES NOT WORK!! It is ever frustrating. I can view my cameras from the TV we have setup BUT NOT from the app. ### 1/5 — ALWAYS offline *2025-01-22, version 1.0.6* This useless app is online maybe the me every 20 times I try to use it. I have a HDMI cable to a TV on which I can view all cameras at any time, but the app only works occasionally and there’s no rhyme or reason to why. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-11-21, version 1.0.6* Can’t connect every time I delete and redownload ### 1/5 — Too much protein *2024-11-07, version 1.0.6* No connection frequently ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2024-10-05, version 1.0.6* GW Security’s apps are worthless. No matter what you do, you can’t connect. And in the off chance you can connect, it freezes/crashes within 30 seconds. Plus that literally have 10 plus apps to do the same thing and every single one of them is the same—they don’t work. ### 1/5 — Zero stars; would not recommend *2024-06-04, version 1.0.6* The UI/UX for this app is absolutely terrible. Every time I try to set notifications, it crashes. I tried to sign up for the user experience testing feature and when you click the option you get 404 error. There are zero tooltips. If I would have known the app was so terrible, I wouldn’t have bought this security system. Save your $3k usd and get a better system with a usable app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-25, version 5.30.1* Best app ever … ### 5/5 — Served Well *2026-01-04, version 1.0.6* This camera setup has served us very well. ### 5/5 — Mobile app *2025-12-12, version 1.0.6* Wish there was more screen Usage for the cameras.

He was a great guy and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend. I have owned 2 of these systems over 10 years now and every time I call it was fixed immediately!! Never was it the system problem, always something I did to mess it up. ### 5/5 — Remote monitoring *2025-01-19, version 1.0.6* The app is very easy to setup and configure. Operational and very functional to view one or more cameras. Top notch! ### 5/5 — Eyes on! *2024-12-20, version 1.0.6* I am liking everything with the quality cameras and your support team assistance on set up! I just wish the setting up of the motion alerts on my iPhone was easier though. I will need to call your Helpline on that. ### 5/5 — It works *2024-10-20, version 1.0.6* No issues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
