Review summary

Users appreciate the app's basic functionality for live viewing and cloud recording with Amcrest cameras. However, many report persistent issues like frequent disconnections, loss of notifications, app crashes, and poor playback features. The user interface and setup process are often described as clumsy or confusing. Additionally, video quality on the cloud is reportedly reduced from camera settings, limiting usefulness. Despite these flaws, some find recent updates have improved performance, and cloud service reduces reliance on local storage.
