### 2/5 — Horrible video file search results

*2023-06-22, version 4.6.4*

This thing works ok and easy to setup. Searching for files does not list them in order of newest to oldest. They are scrambled up! It’s frustrating when you need to go back! Please fix this!

### 2/5 — FIX IT! RIP OFF

*2023-01-02, version 4.6.3*

It worked fine for a couple of days! But after that the connection between the device and yours is gone! The app is simple, but what is the point if the app stops connecting with the camera? Is there anyway to get a refund or a voucher because this feel like a rip off invention of a device. No offense.

### 2/5 — App update terrible

*2022-09-14, version 4.5.8*

I have never had a issue with this app for my camera in years but the latest update made it wonky.  I used to be able to click the arrows on the corner and then turn my camera sideways to view a larger screen.  Now it stays the same only enlarges making it blurry! Terrible!

### 2/5 — Live view is about all it is good for

*2022-06-01, version 4.5.7*

This app works, but is much more annoying than satisfying. Lots of issues with the app. If you use it in live view it does good, but anything other than that it is barely usable.

### 2/5 — Stop recording on the sims card if you open the app

*2021-11-08, version 4.5.2*

If this app could continue to record on the sims card when you open the app to check on your cameras, that will be amazing, however since it doesn’t do that and you literally loose anything the cameras were recording while trying to open them, it deletes the purpose of the cameras, plus the app takes forever to connect to the cameras when first open the app, if you could fix those issues, this app will be great, hopefully this issues get resolved soon.

### 1/5 — Was very good

*2021-08-05, version 4.3.0*

Something happened with the new update- app closes constantly

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-08-05, version 4.3.0*

Terrible app. Our car was broken into last night and I can’t even view the footage because the app keeps crashing. I’ve tried it on 4 different devices. Would never buy a security camera that operates through this app again.

### 3/5 — 4.2.5 It was good but with 4.2.6 playback isn’t working !

*2021-05-23, version 4.2.5*

4.2.5 It was fast and perfect, one day I noticed the app changed interface that was 4.2.6 and showed new buttons for a day and the next day it returned to its usual buttons however after that it takes a tiny bit longer to connect and most importantly I’m unable to playback 95% of recorded files now. Hopefully you’re going to fix that soon.

### 2/5 — Audio stops playing

*2021-05-03, version 4.2.5*

Charger was doing good, new up grade unable to listen on live and on playback can listen , then audio is no longer available. Previous version had the option to click for sound, again this version audio comes and goes .

### 1/5 — Cannot save videos after update

*2021-04-21, version 4.2.4*

As someone else mentioned, the recent update broke the app.  I can save videos to the download folder on the app, but they won’t save to my device from that download folder.

### 2/5 — Stopped saving videos

*2021-04-20, version 4.2.4*

Seems to have stopped saving videos to the device after a recent update.

### 1/5 — Quit saving data to photo album after update

*2021-04-19, version 4.2.4*

Normally updates make apps better, but now with this app. No longer can you save your video on your phone, making it useless. Also, there is no way to set recordings for more than 1 min long

### 1/5 — STOP RECORDING! What a rip off 😓

*2024-11-15, version 4.6.5*

It worked fine for a couple of days! But after that the connection between the device and yours is gone! The app is simple, but what is the point if the app stops connecting with the camera? Is there anyway to get a refund or a voucher because this feel like a rip off invention of a device. No offense.

### 1/5 — Y

*2024-04-25, version 4.6.5*

I had the same experience as the other poor person who spent money on this. I think it’s a real scam! Not worth it, spend money on a decent security system, this is bull****!

### 1/5 — Never connects

*2023-11-12, version 4.6.5*

Managed to get the camera to connect once after a few tries and now it won’t connect at all. Finds the camera, attempts to connect then fails. Not worth it

### 1/5 — Hidden Wi-Fi

*2023-07-17, version 4.6.4*

The app doesn’t support to add hidden Wi-Fi

### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2022-10-29, version 4.6.3*

Supposed to be able to hear sound while live viewing but I’ve never been able to hear anything.

### 1/5 — Constantly losers connection

*2022-08-21, version 4.5.7*

If you have multiple motion detections to watch you have to close the app and reconnect to it to watch the next one and so on and so on. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Won’t save downloaded videos to photos album.

*2022-03-09, version 4.5.7*

Choosing a downloaded video and hitting the send to photos button saves only the topmost video and not the one you’re choosing. 

Besides this bug that should be fixed, there should be batch options for viewing and transfering videos out. It’s an awkward app.

### 1/5 — Microphone

*2022-02-10*

I can’t use the microphone anymore. Can you get that function back?

### 1/5 — Do not waste your time or money

*2021-09-21, version 4.3.1*

Frustratingly useless

### 1/5 — Feedback

*2021-08-08, version 4.3.0*

Application shutting down every five second

### 5/5 — Pretty good app

*2021-04-27, version 4.2.5*

Has bugs here and there so you have to reinstall but it’s a 3 minute process to reinstall. Good functions and makes sense. Definitely read manual online about best video settings.

### 5/5 — Video downloads

*2021-04-20, version 4.2.4*

Do they really delete after u delete the app just to re install.

### 5/5 — Good camera, good app.

*2021-01-23, version 4.1.2*

We have been selling WiFi cameras for about 10 years and this version app for WF-100PCX is the best one so far. It’s reliable and you will have no problem viewing live and recording. A review about hacks is fake. We have sold thousands and there were no reports of such incidents. Please search on YouTube “WF-100PCX manual” for the setup instruction.

### 4/5 — It works but

*2025-08-21, version 4.6.6*

No internet access?

### 4/5 — Works Well and Connects Easily

*2022-03-16, version 4.5.7*

Overall, it works well. I just wish that when we are transferring files, that there was a way to select multiple files at once so we don’t have to select and download one file at a time.

### 4/5 — Camera

*2021-03-22, version 4.2.1*

In general, not bad, night vision, alarm notice, local storage meaning no monthly fees. However I do notice the alarm lags a bit

### 3/5 — Bug

*2022-03-14, version 4.5.7*

Since the last update the camera stop working in less that a minute, this is not happening in a android

### 3/5 — Time zone

*2021-12-03, version 4.5.3*

Can’t seem to find the correct time zone for Louisiana. Keeps changing on its own. Time stamp recording don’t match up.

### 3/5 — App shuts down when motion detected

*2021-08-09, version 4.3.0*

The app is easy to understand and operate. However a problem all of a sudden started today. When you are live viewing remotely, when motion is detected the app shuts down. Every time. Never happened before.

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2021-08-08, version 4.3.0*

This was working fine for a couple months but it’s now bugged and keeping kicking me out the app after 1-5 minutes very disappointing
