## Review summary

Most reviews revolve around reliability issues: the app often fails to start or load live video, times out, or freezes the feed. Users report login problems, inability to switch networks/routers, and even random erasure of camera pairings. Alerts are inconsistent or missing, and some features are deemed clunky. Positives include easy-to-use interface when functioning and strong, responsive customer service. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative: core functionality is unstable and time-consuming to troubleshoot, but support is repeatedly praised and some users still find the product useful during proper operation.

### Pros

- Excellent customer service and responsive support
- Simple to use when it works
- Useful monitoring capability when it functions (e.g., works during vacations)

### Cons

- App often fails to start or load live video, including splash screen issues and frequent timeouts
- Video feed frequently freezes or buffers, leading to interrupted viewing
- Login/authentication problems and slow or unhelpful support responses
- Router/network compatibility issues and inability to switch routers smoothly
- Random camera pairing resets/erasure requiring re-pairing and reconfiguration
