## What is NetGuard?

2. Full Screen Multi-View: Tilt your iPhone to the side and you will see 4 channels of beautiful video in full screen!
3. Slide-to-Channel: Channel keys are so 2010. Switch channels like you are browsing photos on your iPhone. Slide left or right everywhere even full screen mode!

### 1/5 — Utter garbage

*2023-03-16, version 1.4.95*

We’re in 2023 and can’t even view a camera without it disconnecting after about 10 seconds. Utterly pathetic. No support anywhere. Stay well clear. Cheap cr*p.

### 4/5 — Help

*2020-01-30, version 1.4.93*

Can’t find anyone who recconnect my CCTV to my app after broadband upgrade

### 2/5 — Another admin online

*2019-02-01, version 1.4.93*

If I close out the app and try to open it back up again after I’ve looked at a site, it tells me another admin is online. Which obviously it was me when I have the only access. It’s very frustrating, please fix.

### 2/5 — Netgard servers down

*2018-08-23, version 1.4.93*

Many complaints on here regarding app not working on login, what you must realise is that the ddns provided by this manufacturer was provided free of charge, this does not mean that they should keep the servers going for life.
You need to put your hand in your pockets and pay for your own ddns, why expect it all for free. After all its an analogue system so is now obsolete anyway. Select security leeds

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2018-08-23, version 1.4.93*

This App has been down for weeks now, how am I suppose to keep an eye on my business when it just won’t connect 🤬

### 2/5 — Thanks Ha73dg

*2018-08-15, version 1.4.93*

KAUSHAL 
Not working since 07 aug keeps crashing not consitance always problems 
Please sort something

### 2/5 — DNS fails periodically.

*2018-08-12, version 1.4.93*

Works some of the time but every now and then their dns system fails so users on home broadband with dynamic IP cannot connect. Poorly maintained in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Alex

*2018-07-31, version 1.4.93*

### 1/5 — Connection problems

*2018-06-25, version 1.4.93*

Hi can you please tell me if there’s issues with the connection on the app for the last few days. I use the app for a number of my premises but for the last few days struggling to connect or very sluggish to connect. Many thanks.

### 1/5 — Update has stopped my app working

*2017-05-26, version 1.4.93*

Hello
Please roll out a new update to rectify your other update which has crashed my app with no stream or connection issues.

This has now crashed again and only works on wifi when at home.
It no longer connects when away.
Thanks.
