When using 3G/4G, the video from your NVR/DVR will likely be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and will contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have. If you exceed any plan limits you may incur additional usage charges. Consult with your mobile service provider regarding the use of a video streaming app and how it may affect your plan.

### 1/5 — App unreliable

*2026-02-10, version 3.11.01*

Since day one, this app has been sporadic at best. Continually crashing, resetting it all the time,when you actually need it doesn’t work. Pitiful. Talk to technical troubleshooting on several occasions. They say it’s just the app needing upgraded. 6 years now ! giving up switching to. Reolink.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-08-20, version 3.11.01*

### 1/5 — All Swann apps are rubbish

*2025-06-24, version 3.11.01*

No legacy support. I purchased a system that was obsolete a few months later. Spoke to a child who could not understand their equipment had an underlying operating system. She thought I was talking about Windows or something. I hope the company goes bust seeing as it ripped me off.

Where ??? I cant even remote play back on the app or even zoom in as they say .  Claims app is not supported

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-09, version 3.11.01*

Can no longer scan QR code via app on my new iPhone for whatever reason. So I don't have access to our security system via my swannview plus anymore. Fix this.
