User Reviews

The TP-Link Tapo iOS app is praised for ease of installation, affordable pricing, solid image quality, and SD-card local storage without needing a cloud subscription. Recurrent drawbacks include ad-supported bloat and update bugs, reliability issues with notifications and clip loading, and general app stability problems like random logouts and slow navigation. Some users also report difficulty organizing automations as more devices are added.
Pros
  • Easy to install and set up with clear instructions.
  • Great value for money; affordable price and good image quality.
  • Supports local SD-card storage with no mandatory cloud subscription for basic use.
  • Expandable system; easy to add more cameras and scale up.
Cons
  • Ads and app bloat, leading to a large 1 GB app size and update-related bugs.
  • Notification and clip viewing reliability issues (motion alerts sometimes not loading; 'refresh' issue).
  • App stability problems (random logouts, navigation glitches, slow password reset).

When sliding right to left and viewing different cameras the Preview thumbnail is showing the wrong camera until it loads, and never did that before. Also the app really needs a home button always visible, when you’re several looking at recordings and you want to get back to the front screen there’s no way to do that without pressing the back arrow several times You guys really need to work on changing the password on a camera, having to reset the camera requires physically on site, either have a pulldown menu of available networks or a field where you could type it in and the password and then hit save. Right now I have to reset three different cameras on site because the Wi-Fi name changed over to an IOT network
