### 1/5 — Broken unsupported mess

*2025-12-04*

Possible the worst application I have ever had the misfortune of trying to set up. Speco REFUSES to add support for their older NVRs to their new software so you’re stuck with a 14 year old buggy trash application for your buggy trash NVRS. Never ever purchasing speco ever again and I’ll convert any new customer off of their broken system.

### 1/5 — No updates for 5 years?

*2024-12-26, version 2.4.16*

This app crashes more than grandpa falling asleep at the wheel. There have been no updates in 5 years? Please do a better job at supporting what you sell. We have multiple stores using the DVR hardware, but the app keeps getting worse with no iOS support.

### 1/5 — Update

*2024-12-04, version 2.4.16*

App doesn’t work after last Apple update.

### 1/5 — Worked Good Until

*2024-10-29, version 2.4.16*

App worked well as expected until a recent Apple update and I could no longer review my Speco cameras from my Mac Developer needs to update the app

### 2/5 — Delete system

*2024-02-17, version 2.4.16*

We have two system at our store using this app.  One DVD died and had to replace it.  When we did that had to update App to newer version.  I can I delete to older version?

### 2/5 — Better than speco’s app

*2023-11-01*

But still a piece of crap. Can’t keep one channel as the main view which is beyond annoying. Super buggy overall but not as bad as Speco’s own app

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-12-07, version 2.4.16*

The last update appears to be 3 years ago. Constantly unable to load. Is the developer even monitoring this anymore?

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2022-10-18, version 2.4.16*

Will this app ever get updated ? Very outdated !

### 2/5 — Great when it works but most of the time it does not

*2022-06-24*

It does not matter if you are trying to see a live view or a playback the app won’t load. You connect and it just says connecting and the cameras do not appear. Pretty worthless when you need to go back and look at your cameras to see what happened

### 3/5 — Okay

*2022-05-16*

It would be nice if there were a way to delete a device without removing and reinstalling the app. Also, I couldn’t get the ddns service to work.
