I have reinstalled app several times and deleted cameras and reinstalled several times without any results. ### 4/5 — Good but not Great *2021-02-10, version 1.07* I wish that it would not doing every movement, like when the wind moves a plant. ### 4/5 — Easy set up *2020-05-09, version 1.03* I bought 2 Home Zone lights with camera after I confronted a man trying to break in my kitchen door one morning before sunrise. My handyman installed the lights and I downloaded the app. The app connected easily to my home WIFI, and the set up was easy. The app is easy to figure out, and the lights / camera work as advertised. It only took me about an hour to get everything operational. I’m in my 60s and if I can do the set up, anyone can. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2024-08-11, version 1.1.5* I bought a door sensor alarm. This app is broken. All the icons are question marks. The alarm doesn’t even have the ability to trigger an alarm noise. It can only send push notifications. Worthless! ### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless *2024-06-29, version 1.1.5* Bought a door unit and it was absolutely trash. The sensor wouldn’t register that it was connected to the door unit and I ended up mounting it so close to try and get it to register that when I closed the door it split the unit open. If the product is an extension of the app then it’s completely worthless and do not waste your time with this brand. ### 1/5 — Worst Camera and App *2024-01-29, version 1.1.5* Too problematic. App is currently not displaying accurate time of view of area. App view is displaying an older view of area from 3 am. And current time is almost 11 am. Schedules work at random. I truly regret purchasing this product!!! ### 1/5 — Poor support and product Don’t Recommend *2023-11-11* Not user friendly and not easy to troubleshoot issues. Timing Notifications are constantly not working and online support is not helpful. ### 1/5 — google assistant integration. *2023-07-31, version 1.1.4* Bought the dog food dispenser to integrate with google assistant. doesn't work anymore, and the app hasn't been updated in a while. so no hope of it getting fixed. ### 1/5 — Offline issues *2021-10-17, version 1.09* Four cameras are currently off line. I’ve had to continually reset cameras. Ugh ### 1/5 — No longer connected to device *2021-08-15, version 1.07* Cat feeder has stopped feeding. App no longer allows login. Unable to reset password. Unable to create new account. App seems dead. Previously connected cat feeder now has been bricked die to app failure. Company needs to resolve this ASAP. ### 1/5 — Does not work. Period. *2020-12-10, version 1.04* Lift master garage door opener. On the list of compatible. Two basic wires so there’s only two possible ways they can be connected. It simply doesn’t work. WiFi green light. Paired to sensor with steady yellow. App sends signal. Controller clicks. Nada. It’s a piece of junk. Deleting the app. There’s no way from app to contact manufacturer. It’s a joke. Don’t buy the controller. Don’t install the app. Not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-10-27, version 1.04* Unit is awful. Inconsistent stops working for days than works without reason. No help from company available. ### 2/5 — Notifications *2022-02-28, version 1.10* Sometimes I get notifications and sometimes I do. I tried resetting it.

Very good quality. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and setup *2020-03-06, version 1.0.2* This is one of my favorite camera apps, the stream is clean and easy to access. Video quality is decent and has a variety of features like brightness, 911, scheduling that make it easy to control when and how I want my lights to work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
