Review summary

Frigate Viewer is a lightweight, easy-to-use app with responsive video playback and an intuitive UI similar to the web version. Users appreciate the developer's active engagement. However, many note the absence of live streaming, occasional network errors despite server access via browser, UI quirks like persistent settings page overlays, missing notification support, and log display bugs on newer Android versions. Overall, users see strong potential if the app can address these issues and add requested features like live view and multi-server support.

Pros

Video playback works well after recent updates.

Cons

Lack of live view/live streaming support is frequently mentioned.
Some users experience 'network request failed' errors despite server accessibility via browser.
Settings page sometimes appears unexpectedly or overlays other views.
Notification functionality is missing or unclear.
Logs display issues such as overlapping text on Android 13 and 14 devices.

2024-05-25	Ru*****	Great app. I'd give it 5 stars if I didn't need to constantly keep turning my smart phone around while viewing recorded events.

2024-03-25	Si*****	Good simple app, but still needs live view & birds eye view. Creating a light webapp via "Hermit" is comparably useable but is fully featured.
