## Review summary

Users repeatedly report that intrusive ads ruin the Zmodo app experience, even for paying customers. Ads appear at startup and during live feeds, sometimes with sound or scam content, causing delays and obstructing quick access to security footage. The subscription model is questioned as ads persist for subscribers, and updates often worsen reliability with glitches. Core functionality exists, but performance and UX have deteriorated, prompting many users to consider switching to alternatives.

### Pros

- Camera functionality generally works well.
- Core purpose—quick access to live security footage—remains usable when ads aren’t blocking the view.

### Cons

- Ads appear on startup and during use, often with sound, blocking the live feed.
- Ads cause delays when accessing live view, undermining the security purpose.
- Paid subscribers still see ads, making the subscription feel ineffective or predatory.
- Ads include scammy or predatory content (virus warnings, phishing prompts).
- Recent updates introduced ads and glitches that degrade reliability and performance (slow loading, forced ad flows, settings issues).
- App glitches such as group management problems (groups disappearing, settings not saving).
