### 1/5 — Pushing to buy new product

*2021-03-24, version 2.09*

Why would you create an update to stop remote viewing? That is exactly what happened. I have a working system but I cannot view remotely.

### 4/5 — Issues

*2020-12-04, version 2.09*

Just started to have an issue opening the app.  Appears to be related to the new Apple phone update.  I ask that the developers please address and fix

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-11-17, version 2.09*

Pathetic that this app hasn’t been updated in years, and now with the latest iPhone update the app is no longer compatible.  Let me guess, I have to buy all new equipment for thousands of dollars to get an app that will work with my equipment?!?

### 1/5 — needs an update desperately

*2020-10-17, version 2.09*

worked great until iOS updated and this has been a few updates ago stopped working on the iPad and now only works on the iPhone X when I’m home think they need it desperately do an update they haven’t had one for this app for quite some time

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-10-03, version 2.09*

Can't connect on setup. Says password 6 characters then you get an error message saying it must be 8. Won't let you enter 8 you idiots.
It gets worse. LorexEcoStratus does not update this app or their pc software. 
I’ll never buy another LorexEcoStratus product.
Thing only works on my home WiFi. Remote viewing is useless

### 1/5 — Absolutely try another brand

*2020-08-15, version 2.09*

When setting up the cameras to work with the app it asks you to change the password. Fair enough. Gives you 6 characters to do so, also fair. Type it in and it requires you to use 8 characters. Really!? Smfh. Tried typing the 8 characters and yea, it only allows 6. Sooooo can’t change password and all I see is 4 plus marks on my screen. That cuts their value at least in half imo. For the price, can literally buy anything else and get more for your dollar. Dummy cameras included.

### 1/5 — No remote access

*2020-03-27, version 2.09*

Don’t waste your time with this one. I have had a 4 camera set up I purchased from Lorex about 2 years ago and you have to use this app with them for mobile access. It worked just ok for the first year with occasional connection issues and then there was an update that occurred on my phone and the app hasn’t worked since. I think the app just needs to be updated in order to work with the updates that regularly occur on most cell phones. Lorex is evidently not interested in investing the money to do so. Don’t buy their cameras if you want remote access because you won’t get it. Their website for support is just as bad as the app as it doesn’t work either!

### 1/5 — Awful, outdated, slow, unreliable

*2020-03-22, version 2.09*

What’s so hard about updating an app to keep your users happy and to keep up with technology. Unbelievable. I’ll be looking at a new system. Too awful and outdated, slow, looses connection, horrible quality, crappy interface, list goes on and on

### 5/5 — Coolio!

*2020-03-17, version 2.09*

This satisfies me because I can see ALL the cameras everywhere and even on my TV anytime I want, no problems with the app.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2020-01-22, version 2.09*

This app use to be ok, but now you can only check your cameras when you’re home and half the time when you go to check them it takes forever for it to connect. I get a ‘failed to connect’ error 2 or 3 times before it actually connects. The min I get to my mailbox, the app stops working and won’t work until I’m back in the house. Talk about a useless app!
