The UI of Vimtag is slightly anti-user. The main issue I have with it is that there is no dark mode. Someone breaking into your house in the middle of the night? Okay, get eye blasted by FFFFFF. It would just be nice to have the option to change the theme. Otherwise, I’ve had no issues in the 3 years of using it. ### 2/5 — Update needed *2026-02-17, version 12.2.1* The app will not open on my iPad. I’ve used the app for a while but I need to install it on my iPad and the app will not open. I’ve updated the software on my iPad , download the app, deleted the app and re-downloaded the app etc. Nothing works! ### 3/5 — Always shows previous day 1st *2025-11-19, version 12.2.1* On the cloud storage, the recorded alerts only show the previous day. The camera is set to the correct time and we’ve tried factory resetting, rebooting, logging out, deleting and reinstalling app… always shows previous day recordings. Pretty annoying when you are trying to see a current alert… ### 2/5 — Offline *2025-11-12, version 12.2.1* These things are weak and constantly loose wifi signal. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on iPadOS 26 *2025-10-29, version 12.2.1* Prior to my update the app worked fine. Now the app opens but there is no video, just a spinning wheel, though the controls are visible. It apparently hasn’t been updated in 8 mos (as of late October 2025). ### 4/5 — Add dark mode for 5 stars *2025-10-29, version 12.2.1* App works fine. Can be a little buggy now and again but over all it’s alright. Just desperately needs a dark mode. ### 2/5 — Не работает камера *2025-07-13, version 12.2.1* Черный экран на камере уже третий месяц. Сначала вылетело приложение и долго не могла в него войти, потом как-то случайно получилось, но уже камеры были черными. Пробовала переустановку и очистку. Нет никакой поддержки, чтобы можно было связаться. Что делать? ### 2/5 — Глючит *2025-06-21, version 12.2.1* Не могу войти в аккаунт. Камера соответственно не показывает ### 3/5 — Slow to load *2025-06-13, version 12.2.1* Vimtag has become very laggy in loading. It takes forever to load, if it loads at all. The prior versions worked much better, now its too sketchy. Real Bummer. ### 1/5 — Not for me *2025-05-01, version 12.2.1* It works for live view, but no where to view motion detected clip, it may not even record motion if you does not pay Icloud. It is useless. ### 1/5 — App says it’s loading but never loads *2025-04-30, version 12.2.1* Bought the cameras and love them. This app does not work most of the time. It says it’s loading, gets to 100%, then starts all over again and still nothing. If it isn’t fixed I’m sending all four cameras back to try another brand. I’m using them to monitor my 92 year old mother so it’s imperative they work 100% of the time!!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible experience *2025-03-31, version 12.2.1* Full screen ads on a required app that makes your already paid for device work. Terrible UI to control the camera, it takes 5 business days from when you click on your camera to when you see the camera feed. The camera should have a way of viewing the feed via a local network without the need of the cloud in the first place! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow purchase *2025-02-28, version 12.2.1* When trying to purchase a month of storage for the camera it doesn’t allow me to use my debit card or Apple Cash card to pay for it even when I have more than enough money in my account. This is a scam manipulation, making you think you have the option to purchase the cheaper option but never actually being allowed to forcing you to buy the more expensive plan, when in reality the cheaper plan was never really available ### 2/5 — Was great *2025-02-27, version 12.2.1* Was great but all of a sudden 4 of 6 cameras offline and I cannot for the life of me get them reconnected. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay on Wi-Fi *2024-12-21, version 11.11.1* No complaints about recording. But it does lose network connection constantly. Would be nice if could review videos frame by frame. Freezes and crashes too. Would not buy again ### 1/5 — It records when it wants. *2024-11-19, version 11.7.1* It worked fine at first, but now it randomly decides when to record, missing a lot of entries in the room. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Omit *2026-08-01, version 13.4.1* Why is my camera catching most of the recording but the important information being omitted. The motion sensor works well when someone drops off something but it doesn’t get when they pick it up? That doesn’t make sense ### 1/5 — App hates iPhone *2026-06-18, version 13.4.1* It was working fine for a few weeks but now it sucks. ### 1/5 — Should never have been made!!!!! *2026-05-26, version 13.4.1* Im trying to just go through a video at 2x speed or even faster but their idea of 2x speed is just skipping minutes of recording which beats the purpose of this. I dont even know what is even dowloaded or not and I can’t even delete them like what even is the purpose of this app!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Китайская шляпа *2026-05-16, version 13.2.1* Накупил: 4 камеры, регистратор, жесткий, смонтировал все, первый год поработало, потом приложение стало работать только с vpn, а сейчас вообще камеры ничего не показывают, поддержки 0, производитель просто не отвечает, все устройства кирпичи ### 1/5 — Horrible unreliable frustrating *2026-05-10, version 13.2.1* I have 3 of these cams and they ALL suck. I just took great pleasure in demolishing one with a hammer after trying for hours to get it to reconnect. Been out of the box less than a month ### 1/5 — One word SUCKS *2026-04-30, version 13.2.1* One word SUCKS ### 1/5 — piece of trash app *2026-02-23, version 12.2.1* worthless ### 1/5 — Fix the app *2025-11-30, version 12.2.1* The cloud is showing the previous day, it won’t let me look at the present day footage or save it until the next day. ### 1/5 — Why it keeps blurring *2025-11-15, version 12.2.1* Bro, it keeps blurring everytime 5 seconds 2 devices Can’t connect please fix this bug ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2025-11-02, version 12.2.1* Used to work when I first bought it. Now it freezes and I can’t ever view the recordings because they won’t load. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IT GETS THE JOB DONE *2026-06-10, version 13.4.1* BEEN GOOD TO ME AND VERY HELPFUL WITH CRIME👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Great camera! *2026-03-13, version 13.2.1* I really like their cameras and security app. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2025-05-20, version 12.2.1* The camera is so clear and the sound is great. This is so great to keep an eye on our pups when we aren’t home. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Works well *2025-02-18, version 12.2.1* The app works good and the camera was cheap for how good it is. It’s been very reliable for me ### 5/5 — GREAT CAMERA FOR A GREAT PRICE- VERY SURPRISED AT LOWER RSTINGS *2024-07-28, version 11.6.1* I am so surprised that the lower ratings. This camera works great. I have been using it for two years now and haven’t had any problems. You don’t have to pay a monthly fee for this camera and the notifications eork just as good as my monthly-fee camer. ### 5/5 — New update restored the app *2024-05-23, version 11.3.5* Thank you thank you thank you! ### 5/5 — Good for me *2024-02-25, version 11.1.2* I’m not sure why all the negative comments. I have this installed as an outside security camera under a porch. I’ve have no issues with the app and can access anywhere from my iPhone . ### 5/5 — Payment *2024-01-16, version 10.12.3* How do I change payment method? ### 5/5 — Mise a jour Merci *2023-12-04, version 10.12.1* Merci d’avoir corrigé le Bug rapidement, La première fois que sa bug sur mon iPhone, habituellement cette application fonctionne très bien, un bug ce matin corrigé ce soir, vraiment super ### 5/5 — My babycam for over 6 yrs now *2023-09-23, version 10.9.2* I bought different cam for use on my daughter’s bedroom at night when i work night shift. I have this since she was a baby until now and this is the only cam that’s been solid working for 6 yrs. The others broke already. So i would say this is really good.
