### 3/5 — Dave Ogle

*2020-09-08*

Been performing great. But agreed really miss the playback functionality. Please add playback. I will easily give 5 stars if you do.

### 3/5 — No playback?

Everything is great in this, but why no playback? I use this with the camera up on a crane. I can do everything except playback! I find myself still running back and forth to camera. Please add this!

### 1/5 — App crashes
