### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-04-09, version 1.5.0*

Not working even though I follow the instructions

### 5/5 — It's been good for us

*2018-01-13, version 1.5.0*

Using for the last 3 years and worked really well

### 5/5 — UCare cam

*2018-01-13*

I’m not receiving push notifications at all. (Ive set motion detection to medium and even high) On iPhone SE IOS 11 and the latest update from AppStore. Also on iPhone 6s iOS 11.2

Very easy to use. Unfortunately there’s no Apple TV 4 app to control a Konig Sas-Cam116 model.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2017-07-12, version 1.4.8*

Crashes on the intercom, no option of pan tilt and zoom.

### 1/5 — Great cam - disappointing app...

*2017-06-05, version 1.4.8*

Bit of trouble setting up but managed to finally link up using the WPS facility...  Bought to monitor and interact with two new nervous dogs at home whilst at work but app crashes when using the talk facility...  Shame cos the cam is great, but useless without a working app...

### 2/5 — Intercom crashes

*2017-04-21, version 1.4.8*

I brought this product for the intercom feature mainly. The listening is ok but could be better. When it comes to the talk feature it holds for a couple of seconds a bell rings then I get dumped out of the app. This could be a great product but at £30 I feel I've wasted my money. It needs updating with fixes. I shall wait a while then buy a different product. It's not doing what I paid the money for.

### 1/5 — Crash crash and then crash

*2017-01-26, version 1.4.8*

Every time i try use the intercom feature i get i ding sound then the app crash's.
I'm running latest iOS on the newest iPhone 7  
This was the main reason i bought this camera .
Everything else is great if the intercom worked would have gave it 5* but for me this is a fail until this is resolved.

### 1/5 — Rubbish totally rubbish

*2016-11-23, version 1.4.8*

Update for notifications stoped after iOS 10 update. now this app Has been updated to fix this still no alert notifications apart from constant notifications saying SD card removal get it sorted if someone's at the property and triggers cctv I'd like to no !!!!!. I will replace very soon if this is not resolved

### 4/5 — Pretty neat!

*2015-08-05, version 1.4.4*

Camera quality isn't too bad at all - especially the IR function. 
However the installation instructions aren't quite 100% easy to follow - especially if you make a mistake as I did. 
Also, my single camera keeps having to be reinstalled on my phone even though it's there on the system. Weird!

### 2/5 — Poor Implementation

*2015-01-15, version 1.4.2*

Overall good concept let down by poor software. The app keeps randomly dropping stored cameras, resulting in an irritating re-install every time. Not really optimised for iPad.
