## Rankings

- #70,028 — Overall

## Review summary

Overall sentiment is negative due to aggressive ads and reliability issues. Reviewers say the core function—viewing cameras and downloading recordings—exists, but intrusive, non-skippable ads interrupt live feeds and cause delays in emergencies. Many report slow performance, frequent crashes, and being logged out. Connectivity problems (e.g., trouble connecting on iPhone 13) and repeated redirects to the App Store during use are common. Several comments accuse the ad-driven model of driving customers away, though a few note the app can work when ads are limited or disabled.

### Pros

- Core camera viewing and recording download functionality works.
- The app is easy to use when not hindered by ads.
- Ad-disabling option appears to be available via settings (control over ads).

### Cons

- Intrusive ads before and during live view, including auto-playing, non-skippable ads.
- Ads cause delays during emergencies and slow down access (25–30 seconds or more).
- Reliability issues: slow performance, crashes, and frequent logouts.
- Connectivity problems: repeatedly unable to connect to cameras on some devices (e.g., iPhone 13).
- App frequently redirects to the App Store / ad popups, interrupting use and undermining trust.
