Connection issues

Have been using SoCatch on iphone for the past 4 years and itโ€™s been great. However since the latest update I can hardly ever connect whereas beforehand connection took seconds. Have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, rebooting dvr system etc but no improvement. Hopefully a further update will come soon that solves this.

DVR Connection Issues

Current version connects on iPhone 11 and IPad, but doesnโ€™t connect to IPhone SE or IPhone 16e. I will update to 5 stars if this issue can be resolved. Thank you

No Longer Working

Further updates, but still fails to work when not on WiFi!

*** Over 6 months now, and no functionality other than on home WiFi ***

App is a bit pointless now, as only works when connected to home WIFI.
