## Review summary

Most reviewers find the app usable with good video quality and fast monitoring when it works, and note that updates have improved reliability. However, frequent crashes, persistent Android-specific sign-in friction, and ongoing connectivity issues (offline status, slow loads, and load failures) make reliability inconsistent across devices. Improvements exist, but the core experience remains variable depending on device and update status.

### Pros

- Easy to use with quick monitoring and smooth camera navigation.
- High-quality live video and audio with clear visuals.
- Works well and accurate when it is functioning.
- Regular updates have addressed issues and improved reliability (login, notifications, and zone alerts).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezes, and forced logouts on Android devices.
- Android-specific reliability issues (sign-in problems, repeated agreement prompts, and features not working as on iOS).
- System offline/connectivity problems (app shows the system offline for days; unreliable connectivity).
- Video/recordings often fail to load (clips inaccessible, live feed slow or not loading; cameras intermittent).
- Overall slow performance and long load times when connecting to panels.
