### 1/5 — Не работает в облако не скидывает

*2024-10-01*

Не работает приложение  оплатил подписку а смысла нету

### 1/5 — Тайминг записи кривой

*2024-08-15*

Поменяли приложение . Таймнг записи ( даже на карту) стал урезанный, кривой. Посмотреть ( отследить)в непрерывной записи невозможно. Какой вообще смысл в такой камере?? Слов нет- одни маты .

### 1/5 — Оплата не работает!

*2024-08-05*

Оплата подписки не работает!

### 1/5 — Запись

*2024-07-26*

Смотреть запись за подписку… дожили…

### 1/5 — Оплата подписки?!

*2024-07-20*

Добавьте возможность оплаты подписки.

### 1/5 — Unable to be use completely as of 11/5/23

*2023-05-11*

Unable to use, unable to log in. Complete disaster.

### 1/5 — Yi Home

*2022-06-28*

Cloud Subscription through Apple Store does not show up in the App and hence Cloud services do not get activated.

Absolutely zero response to multiple email attempts.  Probably they have no one who can read/ respond in English.

App and camera work great though.  In case they don’t, you will get zero response from customer service, so it’s a gamble!

### 1/5 — Live feed seeking removed in new version of App

*2022-03-08*

Live feed seeking to previous time span is stopped  in new version of app which was working earlier as free now it is added in paid version. This is complete useless to use the camera maybe I need to buy another brand.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy yi camera

*2021-10-13*

Even you use local SD card to save cctv footage buy Yi will let you see beyond 7 days because the want to sell the Cloud subscription.

### 3/5 — Облачное хранилище не дает приобрести

*2024-07-18*

В России облачный сервис не будет работать?

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-04-03*

Excellent with new features

### 4/5 — Норм

*2024-10-10*

Работает хорошо, но  не транслирует звук в наушники.

### 4/5 — Useful app - need 2x 5x 10x video playback

*2021-04-20*

The app is useful to monitor. I have two suggestions for improvement.

1. Major functionality missing is video playback at faster speed. For e.g. playing the recorded footage at 5x speed will allow to scan the footage quickly. This is a common use case for anyone who wants to quickly see what happened during the day on the scene.

2. Highlight activity on the scene on video timeline. The slider should highlight when there was activity.

3. Notifications for activity work sporadically. They need to work consistently for driving the maximum value of this surveillance system.

### 3/5 — Good mosaic view of cameras

*2021-05-03*

Good improvement with mosaic view of 4 videos at a time. 

 There is an issue with the alerts: the app doesn’t ask for alerts authorisation and doesn’t appear in the list in settings > notification. 

 Otherwise, no big changes compared to the YI Home app. 

Improvement would be *2 *5 *10 accelerated viewing of playback.

### 3/5 — Notifications not working

*2021-04-16*

Very good app with new features but Notifications alert not available and not working. Difficult to check the alerts
