## Review summary

User reviews across multiple reports indicate the Rogers Smart Home Monitoring Android app is plagued by authentication and reliability issues. The most common complaints are persistent login failures and login loops, frequent crashes and slow performance, and a requirement to be on home Wi-Fi or a network to function, making remote access impossible. Users also report being logged out after closing the app and inconsistent camera/video availability. Support response times are slow, and some fixes have appeared only temporarily. Overall, the app is largely considered unreliable for home security tasks.

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication failures and persistent sign-in loops
- Frequent crashes, unresponsiveness, and slow performance
- App works only on home Wi-Fi; cannot function reliably on cellular/data
- Sessions/logins do not persist and app logs out after closing
- Camera/video reliability issues; cameras often unavailable or not showing
