User reviews

Mediocre Performance

This app has pretty basic functionality and kind of works ok. I noticed that playback doesn't work right. It will work the first time, but when you rewind to view again it gets stuck and won't play. The developer isn't giving this app the attentions it deserves. Running ios 26.2.1 on an iphone 17.

Misguided update

i’ve used this software package for ages and ages, even pre dating the app, and this is the first time a change to its operation has in my opinion fallen on its face: the added “by day” filter to viewing recorded videos or captured images per camera is SORELY missing an “all dates” option or the ability to turn OFF the by day filter and simply view whatever that camera’s recent history has recorded. having to sit here and tap twice and wait to see if anything loads day by day one day at a time is frankly ridiculous and makes it unusable. if the date filtering code was too difficult to roll out with an “off” toggle or “all available” option, it shouldn’t have gone live in the app until the filtering was complete.

I’ll change my one star back to a 5 stars when this rookie software mistake is fixed.

sincerely, one of your earliest adopters.

Kind of ok

Not too bad if you have a spare Mac lying around. Connection to server from the app fails a lot. Motion detection a bit flaky. Does not like being told to wait for a period before sending more notifications. But that’s all the bad. Recording quality is good and it works with a whole bunch of cameras.

Great continued development

There has been a lot of attention given to this app lately and all the changes are fancy changes I have been hoping for. The attention given to this app from the developer is very apparent and appreciated! Keep it up!

***update***

***BENSOFT REVERSED SERVER SERVER LIMIT**+ LONG LIVE THE KING IF NVR*** Bensoft did not add in last update notes that this app will make it impossible to connect to legacy server as far as I know around 5.0 and down at least. Don’t download if you have those servers.
