### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-08-16, version 2.0*

The old app was no much better quality. App is constantly freezing and picture is fuzzy. My SWAAN system is so much better and a fraction of the cost.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2025-02-03, version 2.0*

Fundamentally poor interface. Buggy, slow to load, difficult to navigate. Difficult to log in. New update makes it impossible to toggle quality or zoom in.

### 3/5 — Improved New Features

*2023-06-30, version 2.0*

After enduring the limited features of this app for so long, its nice to finally see some updates. The ability to see in different modes, the added mic feature and layout options are all welcome improvements. I was hoping to see the VOD time advance feature improved. The choices of 1 min, 1 hour, 1 day means when scanning through you have to hit the advance (or reverse) button up to 60 times between the 1 min and 1 hour buttons. It would be so much easier if a 10 min button were added. The real estate exists.

### 1/5 — Horrible program

*2022-09-25, version 1.2.9*

Save yourself the aggravation. This app doesn’t work. The people that installed it can’t fix it.  Keeps failing. The recorder doesn’t record. Now we’re stuck with a waste of money spent. ;(. What a shame!!

### 1/5 — Works intermittently and not well

*2022-08-31, version 1.2.9*

Never working when you need it

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-02-02, version 1.2.9*

Poor info on how to use the app. And not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-01-15, version 1.2.9*

Has a great view when it decides to work. Just closes out randomly or will not load at all.

### 2/5 — Glitches Galore.

*2022-01-11, version 1.2.9*

App just closes for no reason and when you get a text during a search it exits your search so if you were trying to watch something on playback you have to start over.

### 1/5 — Clunky!!!

*2020-07-02, version 1.2.9*

This app is horrible!  Why spend money on a Digital Watchdog when this is how you view it?  No sliding timeline!!  Playback is almost impossible!  This app needs  improvement!!! Why has there been no updates?

### 1/5 — Tech support rude

*2020-06-20, version 1.2.9*

App was working fine then had a connect fail message for 3 days. (Hard wired unit working correctly) Called tech support and they refused to help me saying I needed to talk to my installer. Hello!!! The problem is with the app not connecting... Waiting to hear back from installer.
