### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.26*

I’ve changed my password 10x just trying to get on, app keeps saying password or username is incorrect. Username is able to receive the forgot password email, so clearly username is right. Password has changed 10x and not one time has it worked. Terrible app.

### 1/5 — Worst App I’ve Encountered

*2025-12-11, version 1.0.26*

Inexplicable questions for registering, broken login interface, terrible UX. This is a mess.

### 1/5 — 0 star if it is an option

*2025-06-04, version 1.0.26*

Awful

### 3/5 — Terrible app, constantly having issues

*2025-03-20, version 1.0.26*

Can’t sign in, reset my password successfully and then try to sign in again and it’s incorrect password…. Constantly having sign in issues. Can’t have YouTube playing in the background or any other app like music. Can’t text can’t anything. Your phone is completely useless once you can finally sign in if you can even manage that. Just bad all around. Absolutely no support either.

### 1/5 — Great idea/Terrible app

*2025-02-19, version 1.0.26*

The concept of this app and service is excellent and if it did what it aims to do it would be great. But it fails at generally every aspect. It is frustrating on its best day.

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2025-02-10, version 1.0.26*

This app doesn’t allow screenshots which is totally fine, but let’s say you accidentally take one you are locked out for days even weeks because you have to bother your administrator.  If this app would get with the times, the app itself should just have a blank screen if you take a screen shot or try screen recording like every other app.  For example, if you have an app that has a pro version, but it’s paid for, and it has templates for example, if you try and screen shot, your screen shot is a black blank screen.   It also freezes, the screen doesn’t rotate back and you have to constantly sign back out and in again. Very archaic app and needs updating to say the least.

### 1/5 — Picture not video

*2025-02-01, version 1.0.26*

The app is so slow on viewing that I’m up to 1 picture every 3 minutes at the fastest. I’m constantly having to log in and out just to get an updated picture since the video does not even play. Terrible

### 1/5 — Reset My Password 10 TIMES!!!

*2024-09-05, version 1.0.26*

I downloaded the app to watch my daughters dance class and each time I had to reset my password! I’m not typing in the incorrect password! There something wrong with the app.!

### 1/5 — Freezes Constantly

*2024-07-28, version 1.0.26*

I have watched to see how long I can watch my child before the app freezes and I have to close it down and start over. 1 minute! Literally 1 minute and then it completely freezes. This is so frustrating.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-04-18, version 1.0.26*

If I could give it zero stars I would. I never write reviews but this app is awful. Constantly freezes up or “can’t play video” or kicks you off. Our gym switched this app to help with privacy concerns but now I can’t watch my kid at all because this app doesn’t work 😡
