### 4/5 — Works Okay

*2026-07-31, version 8.0*

This app will get weird and start alerting me every 10 seconds for 10-20 minutes.  It’s really annoying.  Other than that, it works well for what I purchased it for.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-25, version 7.9*

Only records a little during the day

### 1/5 — UNABLE TO LOGIN/ REGISTER

*2026-03-06, version 7.7*

As of March 6  2026, not able to login/ register into the app.

### 3/5 — Hot

*2026-02-21, version 7.7*

I can watch an hour of YouTube video and my phone never gets as hot as using this app for 2 minutes.

### 3/5 — Help

*2026-02-20, version 7.7*

It won’t upgrade.

### 1/5 — Fail to record

*2026-01-10, version 7.7*

Only have motion detect pictures but haven’t record the video

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-05, version 7.7*

Didn’t even connect

### 5/5 — So far solid app

*2025-12-31, version 7.7*

A previous review complained of never receiving a code while trying to link the account through their Apple account. I recommend using an actual email address when signing up and be sure to check the spam folder as I’m sure your actual inbox will think it’s spam just as mine did. Setup was super quick and easy and it seems as though the previous poor reviews were from people who tried one time and then gave up.

### 1/5 — サクラが多い値段が安いだけ

*2025-12-26, version 7.7*

録画は早い動きの物体は顔などが分からない
早歩き程度でも識別が難しくランニング程度だと顔がわからない
録画開始も遅いので早歩きだとすでに画面の真ん中あたりから録画が始まっている
インテリジェント検出という機能があり動きがあると撮影される機能がありこれが撮影速度が早かったのだが、途中から使えなくなって録画のみになった
クラウド契約をしないと使えなくなったのだがやり方がせこいので買って後悔している
良い評価はほとんどサクラだと思われる
Amazonなどもサクラレビューが多すぎるがこちらは野放し状態なので腹立たしい

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-12-12, version 7.7*

My device become useless as I am not able to connect it using the new version. Previous version has a QR Code scanning feature which worked well.
