Zero Stars

I’ve never written like 4 reviews online in my whole adult life, but this app sucks so bad it’s actually incredible. Not only is the design clunky and hard to navigate on an iPhone, but it straight up doesn’t work on an iPad. The menu comes and goes at will and beyond the log in all of the buttons that you would use to view a particular camera or review past footage beyond the live feed cease to function. Utterly useless.

Please fix this issue.

This app isn’t bad. But when I connect a single Blue IP cam by itself, when I load a favorites tab or orientation that pulls the substream, it defaults to almost unvewable substream settings. Please stop this from happening. Or at least make the default substream settings for Speco profile better.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Outdated, slow, inconsistent. Any of the 5 star reviews you see are clearly botted and not written by actual customers.

Needs Improvement

While goal of streaming cameras remotely is accomplished w app, there is no way to get admin access from app, which prevents editing meaningful settings or receiving motion notifications on phone. Until at least the latter is accomplished, this will be inferior to the other apps out there…

this app barely works 60% of the time

you’d be waiting for things to load more than using the app.
