Review summary

User reviews show the app is easy to configure and can view multiple cameras after setup, and may run well on Android devices like Galaxy S24. However, reliability is a major concern: black screens/no live video, inconsistent playback, and incomplete camera discovery. A common workaround is disabling hardware acceleration to view video, highlighting rendering issues. Key improvement areas: steady live video, complete camera discovery, and removing the need for acceleration tweaks.

Pros

Easy to configure and set up; once added, cameras appear and can be viewed.
Supports viewing multiple cameras from added servers.
Reportedly works on Android devices like Galaxy S24 and is usable when configured correctly.

Cons

Frequent black screens or no live video; video display is inconsistent.
Camera discovery/refresh issues; some cameras are not listed after servers are added.
Need to disable hardware acceleration to view live video (a common workaround) and Playback can fast-forward with no stop option.

2024-11-09	Na*****	App works great on my Galaxy s24. Some of these reviews had me worried but I added our server, cameras appeared and viewing them all works just fine. The only time I had a black screen when viewing a camera was when I was no longer connected to the network the cameras were on and didn't realize it.

2024-01-18	me*****	Terrible app. Doesnt actually add new devices when "refresh" is done from within server view. Doesnt list half of my cameras even though the servers are added.
