### 4/5 — This is great!

*2025-01-09, version 3.1.20*

This is use for security it takes a long time to load sometime but it’s fine!

### 3/5 — The camera’s great.  App mediocre.

*2024-02-22, version 3.1.19*

The app’s just not particularly user friendly.  It works but I find it difficult.

One MAJOR thing is that I can’t figure out is how to upload to iCloud.  They push you to use their pay cloud service.  I already pay for iCloud and want to use it for storage; NOT theirs.

I bought your camera.  It’s mine.  You ain’t gonna rope me into buying your cloud storage too!

### 4/5 — Good system

*2024-01-23, version 3.1.19*

I find that this system works pretty reliably, and gives me a perfectly adequate view out of the window of a remote house. It drops out occasionally, but then usually reconnects. The ability to take a snapshot is good.

### 3/5 — Kein Update der TLS Verschlüsselung

*2023-11-23*

Die App ist im Grunde gut. Funktionalität ist aber seit der Umstellung der externen Mail Provider auf neue Verschlüsselungen (TLS2) nur noch semi gegeben. Seit dem können nur noch die internen App Benachrichtigungen genutzt werden, die aber keine Bilder mitsenden! Da ist dringende Nachbesserung erforderlich!

### 1/5 — App Stopped Working

*2022-05-20, version 3.1.14*

None of my cameras work and my app stopped working. Tried resetting everything, now the app won’t download…

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

*2022-05-14, version 3.1.14*

**ANOTHER CRAP CHEAP CAMERA THAT DOES NOT WORK NO REAL BACK UP STUPID FAQ THAT MEAN NOTHING,MY WIFI IS FINE,SO BIN IT IS!!! DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

### 3/5 — Die Kamera ist für den Preis echt super aber

*2022-03-25*

Das einzige Problem was ich habe ist dass man nur eine Mitteilung bekommt und den Ton nicht einstellen kann. In der Mitteilungszentrale kann man die Töne für die App nicht ändern.
Wenn zum Beispiel nachts das Handy kurz piept bekommt man das wenn man schläft überhaupt nicht mit.
Eine Alarmfunktion über die App oder über die Mitteilung wo ein lauter Warnton einstellbar wäre wäre eine tolle Idee für ein neues Update.

### 3/5 — App não encontra câmera

*2022-02-07*

O app não está encontrando minha câmera. iOS 15.2.1

### 1/5 — Imagem não abre

*2022-01-25*

Depois da ultima atualizaçao do IOS as imagens das cameras não abre. (Tmeout)

### 1/5 — Can not share to other

*2021-11-03, version 3.1.14*

It’s terrible that I could not share the camera with my parents from overseas. They even signed in to my account, but they could not see. All set up has to connect to the same router with the camera. It’s frustrating.
 Hope the developers can solve that problem.

### 2/5 — Collects unnecessary user data

*2021-09-20, version 3.1.14*

Tp-link are collecting a lot of unnecessary user data

### 1/5 — Не настроить уведомления на почту

*2021-09-08*

Из приложения нет возможности. Только с Пк. Служба поддержки написала - просто поменяйте модель камеры. 
Отлично поддержали :₽))

### 4/5 — |

*2021-08-11*

Периодически вылетает приложение на iPhone 8

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-05-15, version 3.1.13*

While the app functionality is good, using it as a baby monitor is frustrating as the app will keep crashing randomly. Please can this be fixed.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2020-12-02*

Добрый день. Исправьте пожалуйста. Не видит телефон и компьютер тоже. Постоянно отваливается по Вай Фай. 
Изображение отсутствует. При настройке вообще перестал находить камеру.

### 1/5 — Камера постоянно не в сети.

*2020-10-21*

Включаю камеру все работает. Вскоре камера  исчезает из сети и вернуть ее в сеть не получается удаленно никак. Перезагрузка помогает не надолго. Раньше ( года 1,5 назад)она  у меня работала стабильно. Что с ней случилось? Что можно сделать?

### 1/5 — Camera not listed

*2025-03-06, version 3.1.20*

Installed app and my C220camera not listed when trying to add camera, dissappointed!

### 1/5 — App issues and link

*2024-12-02, version 3.1.20*

It won't let me update to become 2nd person for one camera in the household. As a family member tried to send a link.. it haven't been sent to me at all, unless i update the app, but i can't update. Just keeps saying open. And i just downloaded this app, wouldn't it be updated already?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-06-21, version 3.1.20*

Only works on a small number of tapo cameras.  I have c425 cameras.  These are not supported.  They don’t tell you that before you download and install this waste of time app.

### 1/5 — No use

*2022-12-02, version 3.1.15*

Apple’s 16.1.1 update and your app no longer seems to work.  Any answers?

### 1/5 — Уроды

*2022-11-27*

TPLink ввести свои санкции против России. С сегодняшнего дня ни одна камера, подключенная к интернет у меня более не работает. Все камеры, что находятся в закрытой сети, работают как и ранее. Все остальные после запуска тури же перегружаются.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2022-10-19, version 3.1.14*

This company is stupid. There is no where to call for tech support and their products are cheap. This app won’t sink anything

### 1/5 — No connection disappointed

*2022-10-19, version 3.1.14*

Was really impressed with the quality and easy access and quite simple to navigate the app but that was just for a day. From
The next day there is no wifi connection to connect the cam to view the live feed when I am out and about. But not only now no connection or network but it does not even work with mobile date to view away option. I may be doing something wrong ! But at least it should work when I am home but NO ! 
Hope the admin help me with this 
TIA

### 1/5 — Câmera perde conexão com aplicativo

*2022-06-23*

Câmera fica off-line de forma intermitente.
Tenho de desligar e ligar a energia da câmera.
Aplicativo e câmeras cheio de bug.

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2026-07-07, version 3.1.22*

Going by reviews they seemed mixed, however the ease with which it setup my cameras and hub was excellent.
The products are superb with very wide angle lenses and the local storage facilities sold me on the product.
Connection is all handled by the app and to be honest it was the best I’ve ever used🥰
Everything is stored on the hub memory which doubles as a chime and works brilliantly.
For me this is the way all connecting apps should be.
5 stars to Tapo tp link

### 5/5 — Customer Service is the BEST!

*2024-07-18, version 3.1.20*

I have five NC450 for about six years and recently had weird issues like not able to connect to the live stream remotely. I am very good with electronics and I tried number of things including both basic and advanced levels to resolve but couldn’t.  As a final resort, I have reached out to the customer and etc have escalated it to the engineering team. And they were able to resolve the problems with my cameras very quickly and professionally!  One of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had! Keep up the good work guys! And make sure to keep more people like them in your team! Thanks again!
