User Reviews

The Blue Iris Android app provides mobile access and serves as a PC companion, but reviews are dominated by neglect (no updates), instability (crashes), notification problems, and poor live video/ playback with a dated UI. When it works, it’s functional, but reliability and UX issues are the main concerns.

Pros

Provides a native Android app to review Blue Iris cameras, enabling mobile access.
Acts as a good companion to the Blue Iris PC system, allowing remote viewing from mobile.
In some cases, the app works well and delivers basic functionality when it runs smoothly.

Cons

Lack of updates for years; app feels abandoned and outdated.
Frequent crashes and overall instability; reliability is a major concern.
Push notifications often do not work or are unreliable (no notifications, no sound).
Poor live video playback and timeline navigation (video rendering issues, scrubbing problems).
Outdated, clunky UI and not intuitive to use on mobile.

Recent reviews

it does the job. but occasionally it will lock up requiring complete reset of the app. clearing cache isnt enough. but my exported server data is useless after clearing app data....be nice if i could export that to my own specified location so when it does crash I can import it instead of it being gone after app data clear.

This App is so overdue for an update, it is shocking. The performance in Android is pretty bad. I'm even on a S25U. All kinds of odd bugs that have been around for many years now. Please fix.
