Once out of 12 it works. Get yourself a Lorex system ### 1/5 — Please update the app *2022-07-09, version 2.3* You are still selling this product, having bad reviews for failure to update the app can not be good for business. Do right by your customers and make the necessary updates ### 1/5 — Playback footage *2022-05-17, version 2.3* Please improve the playback options. It just shows a black screen every time. If I can’t even download the recorded footage, then why have the option? ### 1/5 — REMOVE THIS APP *2022-03-26, version 2.3* You said “the developer” stoped updating the app in 2014. ITS YOUR APP and you have not made a replacement app to work with equipment you are selling. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! They sell products they do not support then blame their “developer”. What a rip off! Don’t get me started on how frustrating the app was when it was supposedly working. If you make an app, expect to update it or make your equipment work with third party apps. It’s not hard. ### 1/5 — Support for this app stopped long ago. *2022-03-24, version 2.3* Doesn’t even get to logon attempt. Additionally, the developer no longer supports nightowl pro. Why not simply remove it from the app store? ### 1/5 — Horrible customer service and app doesn’t work for my Dvr *2022-01-24, version 2.3* My Dvr will not connect to the app. Two people at night owl said that my device is too old for them to help me with. It is four years old. Would not recommend. ### 2/5 — Not working with iOS 14.? *2021-08-27, version 2.3* This app was working well until one of the iOS updates, maybe 14.5 or less. When can we expect it to work again? Using will CAM-IPPT-HDW ### 1/5 — Night Owl is Disappointing Lately *2021-05-27, version 2.3* Night Owl Pro does not work anymore with iPhone. On side note, I have owned 8ch DVR Night Owl 720 p for about 5 years and will be in market for 4K upgrade soon. Doubt I will be looking at Night Owl if they can’t even release their privacy policy details to Apple or keep support going for older devices they put out and we’re selling just 5 years ago?!?!?! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t even load anymore *2021-03-11, version 2.3* I keep trying to log on my internet is fine nothing ### 2/5 — Please Update App *2021-02-26, version 2.3* The app worked well until December 2020 but now the app is really slow and does not connect to cameras. Please update your app. ## Frequently asked questions about Night Owl Pro ### What does the Night Owl Pro app do?
