User Reviews

Review highlights show a mixed experience: many users praise the app for remote viewing and overall usefulness, but a significant number report instability, streaming disruptions, and a troubling 5-minute viewing cap. Positive remarks about the app’s clarity and usefulness appear alongside complaints about crashes and offline behavior, with some device-specific inconsistencies (e.g., iPad vs iPhone). Overall, reliability and uninterrupted playback are the most critical pain points, while remote access and feature-rich monitoring remain the app’s strongest positives.

Pros

Remote viewing capability: users can view cameras from distant locations (e.g., across the continent), which provides peace of mind.
Overall positive sentiment about the app’s usefulness and features, with multiple reviews noting the app’s value when monitoring a property.
Clear/accessible feel of the app noted by reviewers, contributing to a generally favorable user experience.

Cons

Frequent instability: the app often crashes or quits unexpectedly and can appear offline.
Playback/streaming issues: live streams can stop after a few minutes, and playback often buffers or shows errors.
Viewing limits and throttling: users report a 5-minute viewing limit even on Wi-Fi, affecting continuous monitoring.
UI/navigation quirks: some users report missing back navigation and other UI inconsistencies.

I cant see my playbacks on my iPhone its giving me a error

The change from Favorites to Groups is a disaster on iPadOS. The UI is excessively oversized, and more importantly, you can no longer add the same device multiple times within a group. Previously, this was extremely useful if you wanted different monitoring layouts. For example, View 1 could include cameras 1, 2, 3, and 4, while View 2 could include cameras 1, 2, 3, and 5. You could simply swipe between pages in Favorites to switch layouts. Now that’s no longer possible, and you’re forced to create multiple groups instead. Managing them is also much more difficult because of the oversized, poorly optimized UI. This is a complete step backward. I honestly don’t understand what the developers were thinking.
