### 2/5 — Awful playback

*2026-07-19*

Trying to go back and play footage is the absolute worst. It’s extremely difficult to scroll through playback footage. It lags, glitches out all the time and just the worst functionality. In this day of technology it’s surprising. The app needs a major upgrade.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-05, version 8.1.008*

you'd be robbed blind by the time it loads.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-11-07*

Two of us have this app on our phones.  I installed the app on my husband’s phone and on my own phone.  We have the same phone, and I followed the same download process for each.  So why does it behave differently on the two phones?  It’s incredibly frustrating and non-intuitive to try to figure out.  He can see all of our cameras on the live feed when he opens the app.  I see a bunch of blank squares, requiring me to click multiple times to select the camera I want to view in each box.  Why is it different on our two phones?  Why can’t I save any preferences of which cameras I want to view each time?  And why isn’t it obvious to the app that since we have four cameras, those are the four feeds I’d like to see?  I hate this app.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-07-02, version 8.1.008*

I have never successfully to do play back view history. It always failed to connect. When the tech guy came to fix the issues, I can see in my phone, but after he left age days later, it failed to connect. I don’t know what the real issue and why a simple app has such a hard time to do just a simple thing of play back? Not even better than amazon ring that has only $100.

### 1/5 — Terrible awful WASTE of money

*2023-04-07*

I don’t think I could hate this platform more. We spent an exorbitant amount of money on a camera system only to discover that the accompanying app is nearly unusable. It’s been a crap shoot - unreliable. Unpredictable.  Frustrating.  And tech support has been useless.  Do NOT recommend.

### 2/5 — Barely usable

*2023-03-16*

I’ve been used to Nest cameras and their app of how they record 24/7 and flag motion.
I just had ICRealtime cameras installed on our house and only want to access the cameras live and playback on my ipad and iphone.
Just the basic process of watching live and playback is so inconsistent. Works sometimes and then doesn’t work.  Example, during playback it would be nice to scroll through the playback and see the video display with the scroll.  Instead I have to press the fast forward button and sometimes pressing it nothing happens.  
Sometimes I select what cameras I want to view for playback and go to playback and press Play button and nothing happens.  
This app is very old school and really needs a modern interface.

### 2/5 — Tiny, hard to see buttons

*2023-02-05, version 8.1.008*

When you open the app to select the DVR you want to view, you have to press a small black button on a black screen marked by a super thin red circle, almost impossible to see most of the time! WHY not make the button white like the device list? Many times it takes me 3 or 4 tries before I get it right.

### 1/5 — Worst ******* app and system of all time

*2022-07-30, version 8.1.008*

Literally replacing entire hardware on 6k sf home because of this app. Worst experience ever. Junk. 2001 technology.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-06-12, version 8.1.008*

App crashes every time

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2022-04-03, version 8.1.008*

Not sure who actually uses this but it doesn’t work.
