### 1/5 — La pire app

*2021-08-25, version 2.0*

Système non fonctionnel, les détecteurs tombent offline régulièrement. Perte de temps et d’argent assurer.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2021-08-23, version 2.0*

Difficile dire cosa nn va, si fa prima a dire cosa va ossia: NULLA!

### 1/5 — Estafa

*2021-06-16, version 2.0*

Te compras las cámaras y al tiempo te piden que pagues 199 dólares al año para poder ver lo grabado desde la App. Vergonzoso.

### 1/5 — Bitte nicht kaufen weder Hardware noch App!

*2021-06-09, version 2.0*

Das ist eine Frechheit, das System ging halbwegs, bis 02—2021, mit der neuen App wurde die Hardware nicht mehr erkannt. Eigentlich müsste man hier vor Gericht ziehen und die Firma den Schaden ersetzen lassen. Einer von den vielen CEO‘s die keine Ahnung haben und nur Schaden anrichten. Kein Stern wert.

### 1/5 — PESSIMA!!!!!

*2021-04-17, version 2.0*

Parlo dell’app e non delle telecamere che si surriscaldano! E la scheda di memoria SD interna si brucia...
La VECCHIA APP permetteva di vedere la registrazione dal sensore movimento) qualche secondo prima, che era MOLTO utile a vedere nei 15 secondi registrati CHI fosse passato davanti alla cam!!
Nella NUOVA APP... la registrazione fa vedere addirittura qualche secondo dopo!!!!!!
PRATICAMENTE INUTILE!!  Devi abbonarti per vedere i secondi prima. 
SOLDI DELLE CAM BUTTATI!!!
Spendete qualcosa di più e compratevi TELECAMERE serie!!!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2021-03-21, version 2.0*

Now I don’t know even how to arm/disarm the alarm via app.
My wife’s account is not able to see the cube one and I don’t know also how to share it with her.
I was very happy with the alarm all the last years and now I feel that I throw my money.
Invest more on UX, please, precisely I’m not a low techy guy...

### 1/5 — Sehr sehr schlecht

*2021-02-28, version 2.0*

Leider kann man dafür keinen Stern mehr erteilen. 
Nicht auf deutsch zu bekommen, nach der letzten App-Änderung, ist dieses  unbrauchbar geworden. 
Schade, vielleicht nicht für den Europäischen Markt geeignet. 
Ich werde versuchen, das unbrauchbare System zu verkaufen und schaffe mir etwas neues an, was den Anforderungen entspricht. 
Solltet Sie vielleicht antworten, dann auf deutsch, ansonsten können Sie sich den Text sparen. sollten sich den anderen Ländern anschließen. Selbst in China bekommt man alles auf deutsch.

### 1/5 — JUNK

*2021-02-25, version 2.0*

Only thing that works is camera after updates.  Junk and waste of $300

### 1/5 — Nicht ein Stern wert!

*2021-02-25, version 2.0*

Devices sind alle unbrauchbar geworden, weil einfach nichts mehr funktioniert!
Katastrophe!
Keine Information wie es mit der neuen App funktionieren soll und die alte gibt es nicht mehr.
Selten so ein mieses System erlebt!

### 1/5 — A NIGHTMARE!!!!

*2021-02-24, version 1.8*

ATTENZIONE! 

ISmartAlarm è fallita, NON PIÙ SUPPORTATA!

NON FUNZIONA PIÙ NULLA!

NON DISARMA E NON INVIA NOTIFICHE

INUTILE !!!!!!!!!

————————

FIX IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

After server change, new App is unusable!!!!

I CAN’T DISARM MY ALARM WITH APP THAT IS IN CONTINUOUS LOOP AND TRYING TO ARM!

SEND NOTIFICATION EVERY TIME I OPEN A DOOR OR WINDOW (can’t disable this notifications) BUT DON’T SEND NOTIFICATIONS WHEN ALARM IS TRIGGERED!!!!!

### 1/5 — Nicht schlecht sondern sehr schlecht

*2021-02-20, version 1.8*

Pro liefert den gleichen schlechten Umfang wie Ismartalarm ohne Pro. Kosten ja auch beide noch nichts. Wenn es mal eine brauchbare und verlässliche App werden wuerde um den ganzen Ismart Sensorschrott gut zu verwalten, waere ich auch bereit Geld dafuer zu bezahlen.
Noch laeuft bei mir alles nach der sehr unglaubwuerdigen Umstellung auch mit nicht Pro.

### 1/5 — Actualización a peor

*2021-02-19, version 1.8*

Han actualizado la APP y ahora es mucho peor! No tiene ni la mitad de las opciones de antes, encima ahora no está el español! Una vergüenza!!

### 1/5 — If I could give ZERO STARS!!!

*2021-02-17, version 1.8*

Ismart a corporation has sadly decided not to support its alarm system anymore and passes you off to another app... Best Buy won’t even touch you because it’s more than three months so you’re stuck with an alarm system that can’t even be set; save your money and maybe look at the Ring®️system.

### 1/5 — Absoluter Schrott.

*2021-02-16, version 1.8*

Seit 02/2012 nicht mehr kaufen! Keinerlei Funktion. Nur Videos möglich, und diese können in der Cloud nicht gelöscht werden !!!

### 1/5 — Don‘t buy their products

*2021-02-14, version 1.8*

Nothing is working with this new apps. 
We do have a lot of Ismartalarm products which are completely useless now!!!

### 1/5 — La app no tiene opción para la alarma en Apple

*2021-02-10, version 1.8*

He descargado las dos app iSmart Alarm y no tienen ninguna opción para la alarma. Para que me va servir la alarma. Arreglen las app rápido. Gracias

### 1/5 — Inutilisable depuis la dernière MAJ !!!

*2021-02-10*

Edit 2 : 2 semaines après, tjs pas de correctif.....
Malgré de nombreuses réclamations et ticket crée, pas de réponse et pas de maj.... on peut tous jeter notre système et en acheter un autre... HONTEUX !!!!!!!!

Comme indiqué dans le titre, alarme inutilisable avec la dernière maj !!! Impossible de reconnecter les différents modules au cubes..... donc pas de protection de mon domicile.... TOUS FONCTIONNER NORMALEMENT AVANT LA MAJ !!
Le français serait appréciable aussi....                          

!! MAJ CORRECTIVE URGENTE !!

Edit: Beaucoup de gens remonte les mêmes problèmes et dysfonctionnement, aucune réponse de dévelopeur, ni aucune Maj corrective... Par contre pour rajouter un section payante, y as du monde....

!!!!!!!! ON SE RÉVEILLE MR !!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Nul  à fuir !!!

*2026-05-27*

Impossible de connecter ses caméras ismart que ce soit sur version pro ou classique !
Je jette tout et achète une marque sérieuse pas chinoise !!

### 1/5 — No function cameras

*2026-02-10, version 2.0*

The camera has no function due to a missing update, the update only works if you are in the same WLAN, then I don't need a camera if I am in the same WLAN, my camera is in Furteventura and I am in Germany, so completely unusable!

### 1/5 — Una basura

*2022-06-29, version 2.0*

No compréis esto!!!

### 1/5 — Una truffa

*2022-06-19, version 2.0*

State alla larga.

### 1/5 — Dangerous! App Randomly Disables both Camera and System

*2022-06-14*

I wanted to like this service because it is very cheap. The app works okay when you first install it. 

The problem is that the developer pushes updates at random times and you have to be on your home Wifi network to fix your hardware. If you work outside the home or travel, this is not safe. I constantly receive messages saying “install new firmware” that disable the door alarms and camera. I have to go home to fix the system. You cannot cancel or delay the update. 

Fortunately I do not travel a lot or I would never gave a working alarm system.

### 1/5 — New app notifications stopped

*2022-05-25*

Had the old app which is working fine, got a message when opening the old app to download this new app. Once i did that i didn’t realize right away however all notifications stopped. I figured it was the new app because my wife still had the old app and was still getting notifications for doors opening and closing. So i downloaded the old app again now notifications are working. Yes within settings notifications was enabled for this app (newer one).

### 1/5 — Attention : FRAUDE

*2021-12-29*

Oubliez les centaines d’euros investis dans les multiples capteurs (vente de ces derniers lourdement proposée par l’ancienne société), depuis le rachat de la marque et cette nouvelle App, PLUS RIEN ne fonctionne, excepté les caméras, et-ce, uniquement si vous re-passez à la caisse avec une obligation de forfait ! SAV muet, hormis pour vous proposer leur « cloud », aucun dédommagement ou effort, bref, vous voilà désormais en possession d’une App qui ne vous permet plus désormais que de visualiser (quand cela fonctionne…) du live si vous avez des caméras. TOUS les autres accessoires ne sont plus pris en charge et bien que reconnus, RIEN n’est désormais plus fonctionnel. PASSEZ VOTRE CHEMIN, vente forcée, obsolescence programmée, SAV inexistant, bref, tout le tableau de la parfaite escroquerie est dressé !

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-11-02, version 2.0*

This is by far the worst camera I have used, goes down all the time and no luck to get it to work again, shows device off all the time.

### 1/5 — FRAUD!!!  PODVOD!!!!!

*2021-10-17, version 2.0*

In no case do not pay any variant of fees and licenses, it is a big scam !!!  You cannot connect any new peripherals to the application that were not connected in the original version.  They are considering a lawsuit against developers…

V žádném případě neplaťte žádnou variantu poplatků a licencí, je to velký podvod !!!  K aplikaci nemůžete připojit žádná nová periferie, která nebyla připojena v původní verzi.  Zvažují žalobu na vývojáře ...

### 1/5 — Ne marche plus !

*2021-10-02*

Le système ismartalarm ne marche plus depuis la dernière mise à jour ! 
Impossible d’installer de nouveau capteurs, le système est donc obsolète.

### 5/5 — Yay! So happy with this new app!

*2020-05-21, version 1.4*

This app was a huge update with several added new features ! And once you learn how to use it , it’s hands down the best camera system for the buck.  At first I didn’t know what the difference was and why I should pay for the subscriptions but once I spoke with Albert Hernandez on the phone , he walked me through the entire app and sure enough, there was a lot that the app offered that I wasn’t aware of and that’s because the lack of instructions. I’m cancelling my Arlo because they charge an arm and leg . I wish they had cameras for sale , but he told me there’s more surprises to come!  I was literally about to throw my iSmartAlarm camera away and move on , but ISmartAlarms tech came through with his amazon step by step walk through of the new app. I see people complaining that it’s only compatible with two cameras but come on ! It’s a new app , CALM DOWN PEOPLE!!!!Plus what other cameras are you trying to add that you’re so butt hurt about ? The keep ? They don’t even sell those anymore and plus you don’t even know what’s to come for the feature. Once he explained the difference between a $1,000 nvr system and a $80 camera, I realized I had no room to complain. People always complain because they want a Ferrari performance but only willing to pay the cost of Honda. I bet half the people who left these reviews don’t even know how to use the app properly , and are still butt hurt over the issues they had with the old app. Well, now you have an app that fixed everything , but you still complain? Ungrateful!!!  I’m so happy with this app , the technician and the company!

### 5/5 — What a difference !

*2020-05-20*

I’ve always wondered if iSmartAlarm was ever going to start offering more cloud recording options, and boy did they nail the head with a hammer with this new app . 

Here’s what I loved about the new app :

1. Playback feature - finally a way to view an entire weeks worth of video ! You can even fast forward or rewind an entire days worth or video on a single page . 

2. Time lapse ?? There’s an option to have an entire days worth or video into a two minute clip . 

3. Price for cloud ? Can anyone actually complain about a weeks worth of video for less than $10 a month ? Try other products and you won’t find anything cheaper - 

4. Connection ... now I love iSmartAlarm but the old app was hit or miss whenever I tried to view my cameras, in fact most of the time it would take 10 seconds or more to get a live view . This new app is like 1-2 seconds max ! And reliable each time ! Yes it crashes once , but what app doesn’t ? Unless you’re an engineer or app developer who can design something yourself, I wouldn’t be too picky lol 

5. Grouping !!!! Finally I can view all four cameras under one screen ! 

6. Scheduling !!! I’ve been waiting and waiting for iSmartAlarm to allow scheduling for my cameras! You can use ifttt for the main system but nothing for the cameras ! I forget to arm and disarm on a daily, which is obviously my issue, but now I can leave it up to the app! 

Thank you guys so much for this ! Well worth the wait

### 5/5 — The update I’ve wanted with two homes.

*2020-05-05*

The update I’ve wanted for a while. 
I have two properties and I had to change homes then close and reopen the app. This new app does away with that. All cameras for both properties in the same place. There wasn’t a home option. So I just created two groups. One for each. So that works for me. Thank you. 
I’m now creating schedules. So I can be away from one property or the other or both.

### 3/5 — iCameraKeepPro Support

*2021-04-13, version 2.0*

Please update and support the app with the camera. I am Still waiting to use this system correctly!

### 3/5 — IOS 14 compatible?

*2020-11-14, version 1.6*

Please make IOS 14 compatible!
Freeze the app. 

How can I playback online from the memory card?

### 3/5 — Camera sensitivity

*2020-05-12, version 1.4*

Can’t find a place to turn down the camera sensitivity also all my door sensors are now not connected

### 3/5 — Better than original but still needs work.

*2020-05-05*

App is much faster than the original but you are not able to edit your location which would fix the time on your app. My time stamps are 3 hours off.

### 2/5 — Boh...

*2022-01-15, version 2.0*

Prima funzionava bene, ora ho cambiato rete e non funziona più nulla...

### 2/5 — Ifttt

*2021-06-17, version 2.0*

why not support Ifttt?

### 2/5 — They missed the mark again I

*2020-06-25*

I have been In contract with employees at this company for years since I’ve been a customer for 10+ years they could HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE set it up so that it would automatically arm and disarm the home alarm system based off of a schedule yet they did not. A BASIC SIMPLE FEATURE WHYYYYYYYYY NOT???!!!
