User Reviews

Overall, users see SoCatch as a security-focused CCTV viewer that can connect to DVRs when other apps fail, and is valued for burglary prevention. However, it is plagued by instability, frequent crashes after updates, and unreliable remote access. Many report it only works on Wi‑Fi/local LAN, with mobile data failures, slow loading, and playback glitches. Compatibility issues across Android versions (notably Android 14) and some devices add to the frustration. Improvements are needed, but some users still find it functional in certain setups.
Pros
  • Connects to building security camera DVR/CCTV and works in setups where other apps fail
  • Useful for monitoring and helping to prevent burglary
  • Some users report it works stably on certain versions (e.g., v1.4.65) and in local Wi‑Fi environments
  • Positive user sentiment (e.g., occasional 'Great'/'good' ratings) when it functions
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability after updates; app often not responding
  • Connection failures and inability to access DVR/live feed for long periods
  • Limited remote access: works only on Wi‑Fi / same LAN; mobile data often blocked
  • Playback/streaming issues: slow loading, stuck replays, and frozen feeds
  • Compatibility issues: poor support for Android 14 and some devices (e.g., Pixel 6, Samsung G24)
