This app no longer works to connect to the NVR

Update: As of March 25, 2025 WD no longer supports the server the ReadyView NVR connects to for remote access so this app no longer works. It reports a network error when trying to log in.

This app works for the basics of the camera system to initially set it up, view the cameras, and play back recorded video. A few of the more advanced features, such as changing the date and time, do not work and I have to use a monitor and mouse connected to the NVR to access the menu system to make any changes. However, once the system is set up and running the way you like, this app works fine for what it does do. I wish the developer would update the app to either make the advanced options work or remove them altogether and streamline the app for what does work. Going through the NVR directly to access the menu system has a lot more features and options to tweak the system than the app does so it’s probably better to just do it that way and use the app for the basics. It would be nice if the developer fixed the iPad version of the app so it works and doesn’t just show a blank screen. Hopefully, this app is supported and updated as needed so it continues to work on the iPhone for many years to come.

Had for 6 years, now don’t connect

Not happy at all, it no longer will connect to the app. I constantly get “net work error “ so I am assuming that these cameras no longer will do anything useful if I am unable to view footage due to app not working

No longer working

My app no longer works. I read the company abandoned this app . Is there another app we can use? A work around?
