I paid for upgrade but it keeps asking me to upgrade. Emailed developer with no response. ### 4/5 — Going well *2022-01-03* It working well for the price and considering all phone config. And it getting better. I got some idea like remove some moving spot manualy because they are like far away moving car and maybe use the moving subject for light exposure. Some face are to dark in my camera spot case. Keep up de good work, and tk you for the option of using my old phone. It perfect, i just need to put more ligth for the night.🚓 ### 4/5 — Quality is perfect, FPS not so much *2021-07-10, version 2.7.16* I was surprised at how great the quality of the feed is, 1080 is the highest. But the FPS is inconsistent though that might be my wifi connection since I’m using it outdoors. New: So I love this app, buuut it hogs wifi so to speak. We have great wifi at our home but with this thing running, it basically takes over 97% of the wifi making it nearly impossible to use internet on other devices. Why is this? Because it is constantly uploading all motion sensors videos to iCloud or Google Drive. Uploading videos usually takes up a ton of band width. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2020-06-25, version 2.7.16* Already confirmed it’s not my phone or WiFi issue, this app freezes constantly. Can’t view logs without a problem. ### 1/5 — Would be nice without political propaganda in the ads. *2020-06-22, version 2.7.16* I would have given this app a good rating until I see ads promoting politics. Specifically anti liberation and anti human rights. The message “STOP ANTI FASCISTS” leads me to believe the developers are indeed fascists, and support the fascist agenda. Now I wish I could give this app a ZERO. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2020-06-12, version 2.7.16* This app did not work wasted 5.99 how do i get refunded ### 1/5 — Works *2020-05-12, version 2.7.16* This app would be perfect if I didn’t have to worry about the app crashing. I make sure before leaving everything is set up then at some point through the day when I try to open to view what’s going on in my home it tells me camera offline which I now know that means app crashed even with the paid version. If the app crashing continues I will search for a different app to use. I rent my spare bedroom so I have strangers move in and really need to know that I can rely on this app to not crash all the time ### 2/5 — Too many bugs even in paid version *2020-04-07* Installed and synced on a Samsung Galaxy A8 and an iPhone XR On the XR, viewer won’t connect unless right beside camera, even in lowest quality settings. On the A8, INCREDIBLY annoying force open to sign in page over my other apps. As this phone is my vehicle aux unit, entirely unsafe and unacceptable for my specific application. All in all, hanging onto pro in hopes of bug fixes and because I am still able to force stop the app any time I want to to stay closed, but very inconvenient. This is a great concept, but it needs to function reliably, especially for the cost of the app. ### 1/5 — It could be so much better *2020-01-29, version 2.7.12* I bought the pro version thinking it would be better but i was wrong. It works as long as I’m standing by the camera but as soon as I leave home the cameras ALWAYS go offline. Sometimes I can get them to work for a good hour but most the time it’s less than that. There’s too many other security camera apps out there to waste $$ on this one. One good aspect is the audio is good and picks up sounds from a great distance. ### 1/5 — Not very good. *2019-10-05* Does not work remotely and takes ages to log in when trying to. As of yet haven’t managed to get it to successfully login. Not worth the money. ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2019-05-30* Does exactly as stated. But... loading times for the cameras are just crazy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just terrible *2024-06-04* Just buffers forever. Then if you tap on the camera device it gets one screen then freezes. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time!!!! *2024-04-01* Can’t ever look at the videos without the app freezing every time!!!! I’ll try giving it another shot later but right now it’s JUNK!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work normally *2023-11-23* Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes if it works, it turns off as many as 4 times within 40 minutes ### 1/5 — Fails on the only job it has *2023-06-26* I set up the app on an IPhone X so I can see my dog when I'm away. I pull it up and it tells me the camera is not online. Before I left it was working fine. I turned off the auto display shut off and everything. What good is this app if it can't do the one thing I paid for it to do?! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2023-06-11* pointless app ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2022-09-29, version 2.7.16* Couldn't see camera phone at all, no errors. ### 1/5 — What happened to y’all! *2022-06-27, version 2.7.16* I’ve reached out 3 times about my camera not working and have yet to get a response! It was a great security camera now nothing 😡 ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-11-04, version 2.7.16* too many too often not noted in description ### 1/5 — Erratic and unsupported *2021-06-14* Was good. But no updates and buggy Fails to connect most times. Developer lost interest and fails to provide support. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Only works with google *2020-08-12, version 2.7.16* Totally stupid only works with Google account. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 𝓐𝔀𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓪𝓹𝓹 *2023-12-06* 𝓮𝔁𝓬𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓽 ### 5/5 — Warden *2023-10-03* Works great love this app ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-12-16* It’s just as i thought it would;a simple,yet practical camera app.just search for you other devices that have this app (apple or samsung) and connect them (it’s easier if you use your google account) ### 5/5 — A little buggy at first but then excellent! *2020-11-19, version 2.7.16* I have two old iPhones as cameras and a new XR as viewer they were a little buggy at first but once it all settled down and got the settings just right for my situation they work perfectly. Only one phone 6s still the app shuts off sometimes and is sluggish when I try to reconnect that phone has been dropped and shattered screen once it is restarted it’s back just fine I’m sure it’s the phone and not app. For no fees and just the app purchase to go pro is the best deal on the internet. ### 5/5 — Awesome application *2020-10-14, version 2.7.16* Great app has been for year’s. Saved me many times over ### 5/5 — Exquisite! I love my other devices now have use! *2020-09-12, version 2.7.16* I love the concept and cannot wait and try the premium version for some reason it won’t let me u we have plenty funds in apple account. Keeps telling me that it’s an error and to please try again later ### 5/5 — Nice app *2020-05-10* Finally found what I was looking for. A camera app I could purchase and no monthly fees. Works ok so far !!! ### 5/5 — It’s great for beginners- *2020-04-14, version 2.7.16* Would love to see the quality of your cameras to go along with the app.😉 ### 5/5 — Thanks *2020-04-01, version 2.7.16* Good one thanks ...... Hhhhjju ### 5/5 — Warden cam *2019-02-28* Great app easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
