Users appreciate the app's good photo quality, multi-brand camera support, prompt email support, and ongoing development. However, common complaints include stability issues with frequent app hangs, poor video playback experience, limited video history access, ineffective notification controls, malfunctioning widgets, and connectivity problems when outside the local Wi-Fi network.

Cons

Limited video history viewing, restricted to last 24 hours only.
Notification controls are ineffective; notifications come through even when switched off.
Widget functionality is broken or doesn't recognize cameras.
Issues with connectivity outside local Wi-Fi network due to IP address changes.

Momentan gibt es keine Probleme. Bin auch sehr mit dem Email Support zufrieden, gerade erst vor ein paar Tagen nach dem Update mit neuer Ansicht.

Would love to see scheduled push notifications. Also, the global notification switch doesn't seem to work, notifications come through regardless of the switch state. Also, the UI could use a little love. Otherwise a good app.
