## Review summary

Users find the Check Point WatchTower app useful for live security updates and network monitoring with an intuitive interface. However, multiple reviews report frequent crashes, especially post-update, and issues with notifications not working unless the app is open. The app struggles with managing multiple gateways and has slow loading times for the gateways list. Additionally, saving gateways does not persist across devices, causing inconvenience when switching phones.

### Pros

- Provides live security gateway updates and network monitoring.
- Easy and intuitive to use for managing gateways.
- Allows taking action against infected devices through the app.
- Works well for status, notifications, and monitoring purposes.

### Cons

- App crashes frequently, especially after updates.
- Notifications do not work properly on Android; users often must keep the app open to receive alerts.
- Does not handle multiple gateways well; only monitors last logged-in gateway.
- Loading times are long when accessing the gateway list after signing in.
- App loses all saved gateways when switching phones, requiring re-adding them manually.
