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 ### 1/5 — iOS 11? *2018-01-13, version 1.09.09* Wont work on your iPhone. This stinks and still no update. Useless. ### 1/5 — Need to update app will not work with app updates! *2018-01-10, version 1.09.09* Unable to us on my new iphone as app is has not been updated ### 1/5 — IOS 11 support? *2018-01-06, version 1.09.09* Currently can’t use...when are you going to update to work with iOs11??? ### 1/5 — Needs updated! *2017-12-29, version 1.09.09* Not useful until updated to new iOS. ### 1/5 — Will they update the app? *2017-12-29, version 1.09.09* This does not work ### 1/5 — Does not work on new apple update *2017-12-28, version 1.09.09* My cameras don’t work because the developer has not updated to work with new apple software update. DO NOT GET THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Good but update to iOS 11 already *2017-12-27, version 1.09.09* It works great but they are so slow with the updates. We are almost in 2018 and I can’t use on my iPhone b/c they won’t update to be compatible. Come on!!!!! ### 1/5 — WPS DVR *2017-12-15, version 1.09.09* Since the developer hasn’t done an update in over 3 years, my whole system is absolutely useless to me as I can’t view my cameras on my phone any longer. Even when it worked, it was mediocre at best. So buggy and unreliable. Do not waste your money. And btw, I did have a licensed, professional company set up my whole system - so it’s not a problem with the installation. My other app that controls my alarm works wonderfully but they actually do update for their product. ### 1/5 — Horrible stopped support *2017-11-28, version 1.09.09* The developer did not update to iOS 11 and pointed everybody to Tap-CMS which does not work when you are off network or away and only works on Wi-Fi at home. ### 3/5 — iOS 11 needs update *2017-11-27, version 1.09.09* My entire system is useless until there is an update to iOS 11. Will there be an update soon. Please advise. ### 1/5 — Update your app *2017-11-24, version 1.09.09* Update your app the the newest version of iPhone.

No I don't work for them either! All you people complaining, it's user error! Don't bash a company because you don't have your settings right! I install cameras every day and no other app will compare to this app! ### 4/5 — Update please.... *2017-10-06, version 1.09.09* Love this app. Although it needs to be updated. Will not work with iOS 11. So if you use this do not update your device. Please update to work with current iOS versions. ### 4/5 — Not working with IOS 11 *2017-09-24* Hello, I have been using this app since 2014 with never any issues. Can you please notify us when the app will be updated so that IOS 11 users can continue to using it? Thank you! ### 4/5 — Please update *2017-08-10, version 1.09.09* The app works great but please update before the release of iOS 11. ### 4/5 — Has worked well for three years but time to update *2017-05-26* I've been using this app for three years now and it has always worked very well. From reading the other reviews, I believe the key was that I had a professional set up the app as well as the camera system itself. I give it only four stars because the app has not been updated since 2014 (Wirepath if you need someone to update the app, contact me. My son-in-law could probably do it in about an hour and a half 😉). I recently had a different professional add a new camera made by another manufacturer to the system and it works flawlessly with the old system and with this app. ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated for IOS11 *2018-07-04* I have been using these camera with this app for awhile, but the app hasn’t been updated for some time. I can no longer use it on my phone as it is not compatible with IOS11 ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
