## Review summary

The Reolink Android app is frequently criticized for unstable connectivity, notification issues, and performance problems, with setup and update regressions compounding the trouble. Some users report that certain cameras work fine and the hardware is good, but overall reliability and usability on Android lag behind expectations, with cross-device control and scheduling features often difficult or incomplete.

### Pros

- Overall decent functionality according to some users.
- Works with certain camera models (e.g., E1 Outdoor) and supports NVR integration.
- App supports multiple cameras and devices.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues and unreliable connections; slow to connect and devices drop offline.
- Push notifications are unreliable or cannot be enabled; attempts to mute or snooze fail.
- Performance problems: slow UI, constant recalibration or resets, frequent crashes or force quits.
- Setup/login problems: repeated admin/password prompts, inability to initialize devices, endless loading.
- Recent updates/regressions degrade usability and break features.
