## Review summary

The Night Owl Connect Android app is widely criticized for instability and poor reliability. Users report frequent disconnects from DVR/NVR, long connection times, and outages. Even when connected, accessing or playing back recordings is unreliable, with recordings not loading, not in order, or playback failing. Logins are troublesome, with repeated sign-ins, credential errors, and password reset failures. Customer support is often slow or unhelpful. Updates and Android compatibility add further problems. A minority note occasional fixes, but overall user sentiment is negative.

### Cons

- Frequent disconnects and inability to connect to the DVR/NVR; long connect times and occasional outages.
- Inability to view or playback recordings reliably; loading failures, playback crashes, recordings not in order, and download issues.
- Repeated login/authentication problems; constant sign-in prompts, credential errors, and password reset failures.
- Widespread outages with little or no guidance; service downtime lasting days and reports of unresponsive or slow support.
- Compatibility and update problems; recent updates cause instability or 'Internal Fault' on some Android versions.
