### 4/5 — HELP LOREX CONNECT TO MY NVR PORT 8000

*2021-02-21, version 2.3*

It worked very well until I upgraded my iPad pro to 14.3.

Thank you . . . . .

### 1/5 — Loren eco stratus failure

*2019-11-07*

Loren had the worst customer service of any product I have ever bought. To this day they have not updated the app to work with Apple products. If you buy one expect to toss it after first problem. 
I’m making sure the replacement I purchase is in no way owned or affiliated to the same Corp.
Stay away

### 1/5 — Can’t use until updated

*2019-07-02, version 2.3*

Needs an update to iOS 11 for it to even work

### 1/5 — Update please

*2019-04-07, version 2.3*

Please update so it works on IOS 11.

### 1/5 — App needs updating

*2019-04-07, version 2.3*

Trying to open on my iPad and note pops up saying app needs updating. No longer works

### 1/5 — Loved this app until the stopped supporting iOS

*2019-02-15*

I have spent a year talking with lorex about them updating their app as I have 3 years left on the extended warrantee they sold me claiming their products worked with iOS an Mac.  - they have done nothing in 12 months to resolve the problem.  Avoid this companies products they do not stand behind their products

### 1/5 — UPDATE THE APP PLEASE

*2019-01-19, version 2.3*

WOULD YOU PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP FOR IPAD.
IOS 12.1.1

### 3/5 — Needs Update!

*2018-12-21, version 2.3*

Awesome Application please update for ios11 and 12 support!!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-12-10, version 2.3*

The app needs updated to work with IOS 11.  Since the developers refuse to update the app it renders my camera viewing, and future purchases, with Lorex pointless.

### 1/5 — Lorex

*2018-11-25, version 2.3*

I have 3 systems at 3 different locations!
They are always going down, and it's a night mare trying to get them back up. What good is having a security systems if you can't fix it remotely?
