How do you use the camera part if it shows the picture on the face with out it being seen. ### 2/5 — CRASHES and not user friendly *2018-01-29, version 2.2* Tapping on guardian and then on See crashes. Reinstalled. Retried. It just crashes all the time on 7plus iOS 10. And why taping multiple times to just open live? Duration max only 30 seconds???? And not auto stop when trigger stops. Not good app. ### 3/5 — ?? *2018-01-09, version 2.2* Seams like a cool app. But still can't figure out how to sync my iPhone and iPad to make it work. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-12-25, version 2.2* Great app ### 5/5 — G *2017-12-23, version 2.2* Good ### 3/5 — Not bad *2017-12-19, version 2.2* I am trying it ### 1/5 — Is this a joke??? *2017-12-19, version 2.2* Maybe if I could get the crappy app working then I could give some sort of feedback, but come on seriously, this thing is rubbish.

Waste of time even trying. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — list *2023-03-04, version 2.7* whos this ### 1/5 — Just upgrade *2022-03-04* I signed in and after that I tried to log in on my tablet and it kept saying “Invalid email”. ### 1/5 — I feel that it probably is not very user freindly *2021-12-15* Can I at lease try it for 3 free days as advertised before I divide to delete app ### 1/5 — Don’t even download this app *2021-07-04, version 2.7* This app is deceptive and will charge you $29.99 a year. It is NOT FREE ### 1/5 — Review *2021-03-07, version 2.7* This is a poor and misleading application . Apple should not have accepted it to be sold on its platform. I gave never used it . Waste of my money ### 1/5 — Help *2021-02-09* How do you cancel. ..?This is difficult. I need to cancel. Please, I need assistance . ### 1/5 — Okay, AWFUL. *2020-08-21, version 2.7* All that appears is grey, no camera. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-02-18, version 2.2* I have an iPhone 7 6 and 5 and the app constantly crashed during set up. The worst part is it made me pay to download the non-free app to each device. And the help is rubbish. Never could figure out how to set up a recording. I guess this is what you get for $3.99 (Per Device!!’) but seriously what a waste of two hours of a life!!!! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-01-30, version 2.2* Connections are hopeless. You spend a lot of time trying to make it work and being interrupted by continual adverts ! I might have purchased to advert free app if it had worked! ### 1/5 — Yea *2018-01-30, version 2.2* Rubbish and waste of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app but *2021-04-17, version 2.7* Amazing app Best of its kind But there are a few problems -drains battery as cctv -when placing cctv phone it’s a bit hard since you don’t know where the phone is pointing or looking at -can you also add a recording function that records to your phone and can be saved on gallery Other than that it’s the best ### 5/5 — Great. *2020-08-29* Great app. Free version works perfectly.
