User Reviews

Users praise Canary for strong customer service and useful live-stream/history features, but most reviews express dissatisfaction with pricing, ads, and feature restrictions. The app often requires a subscription for recordings, imposes per-camera monthly fees, and has been criticized for intrusive ads and frequent upsell prompts. Some users report performance problems (lag, crashes, Bluetooth audio issues) and billing or renewal disputes, especially after ownership or strategy shifts.
Pros
  • Excellent customer service
  • Live stream and video history features
  • Long-time users report reliability and a sense of safety
Cons
  • High ongoing costs: mandatory subscription for recordings; per-camera pricing; price hikes
  • Excessive ads and upsell interruptions, including watch-live ads
  • App reliability issues: laggy live view, crashes, audio issues with Bluetooth
  • Changes to free vs paid features and perception of feature removal after updates
  • Billing/renewal issues reported by users

App disconnects from the service too much… especially for a pay (premium) service. If you have the free service then maybe you can deal with it.

Have had multiple Canary devices for years. They have consistently worked as expected, providing solid home security. The few times I needed to contact customer support, they were very responsive - quick replies and quick resolution to my issues.

I've had this app for many years. 2-3 weeks I started having issues viewing even while inside my home let alone when I am out. No solution has been provided- deleted and reinstalled the app and same problem. I can't view video all I get is incorrect connection! Well I've had the same connection for numerous years.
