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.

2024-12-03	Aa*****	Does not work on Samsung Galaxy S24+. Just shows a white page after login. Crashed often, on Samsung Galaxy S8+ and S20 FE. If you have multiple sites to keep track of, this has a major problem doing it. If you expect this to send alerts, it will only work for 1 gateway at a time (the last one logged in to). After moving to a new phone, all gateways you had added to the app will be deleted and you need to add them over again. Not good when, like me, you manage over 20 gateways.

2023-09-12	Br*****	It's works fine but can't rate it high. I can't get notifications working. You have to be using the app for a notification to be pushed. Tried 2 Android phones and same thing. One plus 9 and Samsung s21. Please sort it out checkpoint techs

2023-07-06	Da*****	App works well, does most of what I need it to do. Removed two stars because I can't get notifications to work on Android 13. All in-app settings are turned on, and my system settings should be allowing unrestricted notifications, but I don't get any push notifications at all.
