After the last update it can’t view any of my cameras

### 1/5 — Upgrade to compatible mode error

*2019-10-14, version 4.00.000*

I am using this software with a Dahua 3216 NVR.  This software no longer works with the last update.  I get a error message that says “upgrade device or enable compatible mode”

### 1/5 — the absolute worst

*2018-12-13, version 3.41.002*

i have NEVER used worse dvr software EVER. dahua’s camera’s are the worst as well (i have sony and axis too). their dvr software has NO REVERSE. you can’t REWIND! and that is just the start...

### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS10

*2016-09-14, version 3.32.000*

App does not work anymore after iOS10 upgrade.

### 1/5 — IDMSSHD

*2015-10-06, version 3.31.001*

Giving them one star because there's nothing lower!!! How can you release an app without thoroughly testing it? You can't view any playbacks as the date and time selector doesn't work

### 1/5 — Can't search playback time with recent build

*2015-09-26, version 3.31.001*

Play back times are blank on this build. Please test this stuff before releasing

### 1/5 — Push alarm still not working

*2014-11-19, version 3.00.000*

This new user interface looks nice. Some useful features are added for example now it is possible to adjust playback speed. Push alarm is still not working.

### 1/5 — App is completly useless

*2014-11-13, version 1.20.001*

The app does not work at all. I canot watch recorded video or live video. Anything i do beyond just opening the app and lookng at it makes it crash. I want my $10 back.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on ios6

*2012-10-25, version 1.10.1*

Won't connect. Left message for support. No response over 1 week.  Previous version on ios5 still works fine.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-06-20, version 3.00.001*

Works really good.. Perfect app

### 5/5 — Does not work with IPad 3  (screen resolution)

*2012-04-30, version 1.00.1*

Everything appears work fine except image from from my camera is only 1/3 size.   Does not support the new screen resolution of the iPad 3.  I hope they fix this soon or I just wasted $10.00

The good news is they fixed the problem with the iPad 3 and everything is displaying correctly now  I'm very happy now I give this five stars

### 5/5 — I can not use playback function.

*2012-02-11, version 1.0.0*

I can not use playback function. Calendar is incorrect.

### 3/5 — SPILIT view

*2022-04-29, version 4.10.100*

Please support spilit view on iPad

### 3/5 — Idmss hd live preview not working with IOS 11.0.3

*2017-10-18, version 3.40.003*

Playback works o.k., but live preview fails to display video. Although the camera titles are displayed. This is after updating to the latest version of the App that is available as of 18 Oct 2017.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2014-10-16, version 1.20.001*

Hello , thank you for great app IDMSS HD but you need to fix some bugs working with IOS 8 , its crashing all the time when you try to watch recorded material , it happens when you setting date , time what you want to watch and trying to move the small screen icon from left  to the main at the right where is screens with green pluses , after program crashes . Please fix that bug . Thank you .

### 3/5 — Does not work in iOS8

*2014-10-02, version 1.20.001*

Software has stopped working properly with new iOS 8 update. Please fix the problem. Software loads but does not allow access to cameras.

### 3/5 — No sound:(

*2012-10-14, version 1.10.1*

I have a problem with sound... In previous iDMSS sound was correct, but in this version sound doesn't work! Dont work in playback mode and dont work in realtime view mode.Please do something!! I pay 10$ for this app!! P.S. Russian translate is very bed:))) looks like you use google to translate:(

### 3/5 — Needs update for Retina

*2012-03-31, version 1.0.0*

The app worked very well until the new iPad came out. The video only feels 1/4 of the frame. This needs to be updated.

It would also be very useful if I could have all of my favorites open at the same time rather than just showing a list of the favorites and I have to open each camera one at a time.

### 2/5 — Lack of instructions

*2014-09-13, version 1.20.001*

Finally figured out how to install, but still cannot figure how to save through the app a segment of video/audio for reviewing later. Would like to be able to set a start point and end point, save it as a mpg or some video file format that can be reviewed later with staff. My other issue with this software is that I cannot fast forward through video. Other software I have used had like a 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X, 32X speeds to where you could quickly go through a days recording to find instances that need closer review. There is no way to do that with this software except to use the slide bar which is very crude to use. Unless I'm missing something. If you can help me out with these issues I'll change my review. Please write more thorough instructions too, went to your web site and saw many questions that could have been answered by having better Help Instructions.
