### 2/5 — Please update.

*2018-09-26*

Before iOS 11, this worked GREAT on all my apple devices. I found this app VERY valuable. 
However, when updated (regret) to iOS 11, it won’t work and the alert says “developer must update”. 
PLEASE update for us fools that have updated our apple products. 

Best regards

### 3/5 — Update to iOS 11!!

*2018-05-22*

Spent $2600 on my business camera system and can’t use it because the manufacturer hasn’t updated it. Very upset!!! Previous years it worked fine and gave me relief on my days off. I could check in and see if everything was set up.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2018-05-01, version 1.09.09*

If I could give negative stars I would!!! Worst camera app!! Absolutely NOT user friendly. I think a failing student designed it!! On top of the whole thing just being an absolute abomination, it only work u to IOS 8. Are they serious??!! They don’t even have the intelligence to keep up with technology!!!!!

### 1/5 — App needs to he updated
