### 1/5 — Can’t see menu

*2025-05-09, version 2.4.28*

I use this app as a manager of a store and none of us can see any menus, whether we’re selecting the camera models or the time and date of a previous event. The menu is just white the only thing you have to work with is the haptic feedback to let you know you selected some l thing, that you absolutely can’t even see!

### 1/5 — Does not work well with iPhones

*2024-03-27, version 2.4.28*

This app is way too slow and doesn’t work at all often.

### 1/5 — Can't select device type

*2023-06-01, version 2.4.28*

Something is busted with the device type selection. I'm assuming all the text was made white or something because previously you could select a model and see what you were choosing. Please fix this guys

### 1/5 — Wasted $$$

*2022-08-12, version 2.4.28*

I had a whole system installed in my home by security company. $4500.00. This app is terrible! Now I am stuck with this and it’s useless. So when I’m not home oh well! What good does that do?!?!!!! Fix this mess!

### 1/5 — THE WORST APP

*2022-06-14, version 2.4.28*

Absolutely the worst app!

### 1/5 — Horrible App.

*2022-03-02, version 2.4.28*

They update the app once every 100 years.  Customer support 👎👎👎 just tell you buy a new system- we
Don’t support your older DVR anymore

### 1/5 — The worst.

*2021-07-09, version 2.4.28*

Paid to get hard wired cameras from Pioneer Security. What a joke. The video is poor, I have seen way better video quality from cheaper cameras. My ring door bell is even better. The app constantly had issues and the unit would not stay on. Gave up and finally disconnected the service.

### 1/5 — Many features are broken

*2021-06-21, version 2.4.28*

Many features are broken

### 1/5 — Time search is broken

*2021-06-20, version 2.4.28*

This is a joke, no updates more than 1 year!
I can’t scroll the desired date and time in the playback. iOS 13.5 iPhone 8.

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2021-06-09, version 2.4.28*

Since last ios update app no longer works on iPhone. 😕
