### 2/5 — All features are not available

*2016-01-25*

The search option is no longer available on iPhone or iPad. Been this way for months. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Update this App, PLEASE!!!

*2015-11-11, version 1.2.9*

#1 - I've used this app on an iPhone 5s and now on brand new iPhone 6s. Biggest issue with your app is that it GUZZLES BATTERY LIFE (even on a brand new phone) like kryptonite feeding on Superman!! This is an extreme coding flaw! I can use this app for less than 60 seconds and my battery life will go down between 2-5% (at least); God forbid I need to use it more than 60 seconds. :-/ Bye-bye, battery life! Please fix this!

#2 - Let's face reality...the whole app needs a refresh. While it does work on newer phones, this app if far from "in the here and now". The interface isn't native to Retina displays and there are scores of features left unused because of failure to 'update with the times'. It's like having a fantastic iPhone and having to print to a dot matrix printer...reee-reee, reee-reee...you get the idea. So, please overhaul the app!

#3 - There are subtle differences between your free version and your "Pro" version, which is pretty pricey by the way. For instance, when I swipe on the camera picture to change between cameras, each app operates differently; the swipe gestures aren't congruent. It would be like going from ASDF on a keyboard to SAD F...oh, wait...see what I just did there. Yeah, it's 'sad'. But, hey...this is only minor compared to the battery kryptonite issue mentioned in #1. Eick! 

#4 - If #1, #2, and #3 are outside of your company's capabilities to produce/fix, please hire a third party app specialist/designer to do the overhaul for you. It'll leave your customers happy and more likely to recommend your products. We're in a mobile age, so making you're on the cutting edge is a huge benefit to 'word of mouth' advertising and user experience.

### 1/5 — EVERFOCUS PLUS

*2015-08-25*

I have a family business & I'm asked a lot by my BOSS (DAD) to look back on the cameras at are employees I have a problem w/EVERFOCUS PLUS CAMERAS I can't even get into the cameras Don't you people monitor the EVERFOCUS PLUS CAMERAS Why do I have write a review to tell you what's wrong I'm getting a GET SESSION ID FAILED when I try to get into the cameras I need this fixed now Do yinzs actually read these reviews

### 3/5 — Can not even open App

*2014-12-29, version 1.2.6*

Please fix app I can not open and I can not update.

### 1/5 — Can't even open!!

*2014-12-27, version 1.2.6*

Now with the new update I can't even open my app!! How are they supposed to justify making you pay $9 for this app and then crash it. I sure hope it's fixed soon or they will be hearing from me!!

### 1/5 — New version is terrible

*2014-12-20*

I can't even open the App now! 
This newer version constantly freezes while changing cameras & when in play back modes it always freezes or locks up and kicks you off the app. Hopefully they correct this cause the older version had minor issues but was good

### 2/5 — Great only when it works

*2014-09-01*

I've been using this app on my iphone for just over a year now. Before the last update In order for it to work I would have to clear it by hitting the home button twice to remove it from the background. Then reopen it for it to work. However since the last update I've been getting get session Id failed every time for a few days now. It must be a glitch in the website and app because it happens on my computer and my Husbands Samsung Galaxy as well. It's very frustrating because it happened at the worst time possible.

### 2/5 — Doesn't save on Apple

*2014-04-01, version 1.2.1*

It works well. I can use it well. But the info I put in never saves. Please fix this bug.

### 1/5 — Not like it used to be.

*2014-03-12*

This app used to be wonderful!! I could jump from camera to camera with almost no transition time. Not anymore. I can view two camera before the entire app freezes. It's pretty useless to not be able to quickly jump back and forth between cameras.  I used to be able to show the cameras to the police when someone would attempt a break in. Now it is so slow I can't follow the criminals fast enough without the app completely locking up. I'm very unhappy with this app now.

### 1/5 — Fix it!!!

*2014-02-05, version 1.2.0*

Has crashed multiple times while trying to rewind footage. Hate the new channel selector. Using this for our business, can't afford to wait too long for a "fix".

### 2/5 — Ever focus

*2014-02-05*

The flip to the next camera is not there anymore please put it back along with the camera number bar worked better before the update.

### 2/5 — Please fix it fast

*2014-02-04*

Please put back channel selector like before, it was faster and nicer! Now it is blocking camera view!
Also: To view or change settings of a device:
You cannot Tap the "arrow icon" to bring up the editing page! Please make the "arrow icon" touchable,
Thanks,

### 1/5 — Why Change it

*2014-02-03, version 1.2.0*

Where did the channel selector go ? It's a very to the app

### 1/5 — Why did this app change

*2014-02-03, version 1.2.0*

It's horrible , unusable . Was fine before. Will look for a new version or new app

### 1/5 — Idiotic

*2014-02-03, version 1.2.0*

Why remove the channel selector?  The drop down menu blocks the camera shot. Please fix this!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Longdirtroad

*2023-02-27*

Here we go again, good ole mobilefocus has crashed again. Can’t see cameras at vacation home “get enabled channels failed”. Nothing has changed at all and its obvious nothing has changed at mobilefocus. Worked last night and this am its a bust! Come on everfocus!!

### 1/5 — Longdirtroad

*2022-07-06, version 1.2.28*

Yesterday, 5 july 2022, at our vacation home, the cameras were working great. Vacation home is 250 miles from my permanent residence so i ask my daughter to review the cameras and everthing worked just fine. ( daughter was at perm residence).  Late evening 5july 2022 at my permanent residence i tried to review my cameras 250 miles away and could not. Nothing has changed at either place. What is going on?? It was working fine and now its not. All i get on is a spinning wheel and a “timed out”. BTW this is not the first time this has happened. Mobilefocus can do better than this.

### 1/5 — Waste of $

*2021-08-08, version 1.2.28*

Deleted free app because of issues with grayed out times and dates when searching. Bought the $8.99 app thinking that would and it doesn’t allow me to change the model of the dvr. Can’t even get to my dvr.

### 1/5 — Another Bad App

*2020-02-17*

Ladies and Gents here’s another bad app from EverFocus. I purchased this because I thought it would provide better functionality and connectability. No it does not it is a waste of money. You can only connect when your on the same WiFi. The quality is sub par. The camera controls do not work. Save your money!

### 1/5 — Can’t record video on iPhone!

*2019-10-16*

Terrible app. Constantly crashing, and can’t record video on iPhone. Shows up blank white.

### 1/5 — App claim i can remote event search by time

*2016-08-02, version 1.2.13*

App dont let me search for dates amd time as it claim
Nobody gives customer service
Somebody can call me

### 1/5 — update failed

*2016-06-26, version 1.2.12*

invalid port error. App does not work.

### 1/5 — Quit working after update

*2016-06-09, version 1.2.12*

Once again, the app has been updated and it no longer works. This happens every third time or so the app is updated.

### 1/5 — doesnt work

*2016-01-20*

the system worked great untill recently. I used the free version for years with no issues but recently ot gave a message 'session Id failed' ... bought the new version of the app for $8.99 hoping it will work but it still doesn't what a waste of $.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2015-09-22, version 1.2.9*

Back to Business . Thank You guys!!

### 5/5 — Thanks for the update!

*2014-02-16*

Love it! Thanks for listening and fixing the previous update!

### 5/5 — OS 7

*2013-09-24*

I'm sure it's being looked at but just wanted to let you know you have some issues with OS 7. This app worked great until I updated my OS. 
I'm sure you will resolve it, I still love this app.

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2012-08-06, version 1.0.3*

This is very nice, easy to set up and use.  Playback operation is quick and easy.

One ask, I would like the ability to password-protect the app, as an added level of security.  Otherwise, very good app.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2012-05-16, version 1.0.1*

The only thing I would ask is that you create an iPad version.

### 4/5 — Snapshots

*2013-05-14, version 1.1.4*

Great application. However I could not locate any snapshots in the photo folder on my iPhone. Please advise what I did wrong.

### 4/5 — EMV800 ptz

*2012-09-12*

Good app. Only trap is don't use admin and default password as ptz will not show up on the EMV series. Waited for a month for support but eventually worked it out myself.
