## Review summary

Top issues revolve around stability and compatibility: the app crashes and logs users out after iOS updates; many users report it stops working entirely on iOS 18/18.1 or after Nov 2024 Apple update. Video streams fail to load or disconnect, and live viewing or recordings crash. Motion alerts are often not delivered despite settings. Billing and cancellation problems persist, including unclear cloud storage access and difficulty canceling subscriptions. A minority report that when functioning, the system works for travel or as a basic safety cam, but overall reliability is a major concern.

### Pros

- Cameras and audio work well when the app is functioning.
- Originally usable for travel and as a dog cam when it functioned.
- Some users report positive performance in the past before issues started.

### Cons

- App crashes frequently and logs users out; reliability is poor.
- Incompatibility with iOS 18/18.1 and recent Apple updates causes crashes when viewing video.
- Video streaming/connectivity failures: cannot connect, goes offline, or loads half the time.
- Motion alerts are often not delivered despite settings.
- Billing and cancellation problems: difficulty canceling subscriptions and unclear cloud storage access.
