Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise the app as great and note reliable hardware when it connects, plus meaningful improvements over time. However, Android-specific instability dominates, with frequent offline states, viewing issues on mobile, and buffering. Update-induced breakages and rollback requests also recur. Overall, cross-platform consistency and reliability remain the key concerns alongside ongoing improvements.

Pros

Overall positive sentiment when the app connects, with reviewers repeatedly saying it is "great" and that the app works well when functional.
Cameras/Swann hardware described as reliable over time, with users noting the unit never fails in long-term use.
The app has seen meaningful improvements over time, including features like playback memory and easier sharing that have enhanced usability and responsiveness.
A small but noted usability enhancement is the addition of a confirmation step to close the app.

Cons

Android version frequently goes offline or cannot connect, making remote viewing unreliable.
CCTV/video playback and streaming often fail on Wi-Fi, with desktop viewing sometimes working while mobile does not.
Recent updates have caused breakages (e.g., cameras going offline after updates); users want rollback options.
Mobile access issues persist, including inability to view or gain access from phones and inconsistent connectivity compared with other platforms.
General performance issues like slow load times, buffering, and occasional need to restart the app contribute to reliability concerns.
