Ratings and reviews

I've been struggling with the Geeni widget for some time. I wish it came in other sizes, it just takes up so much space. Also, the dark grey bar on top doesn't help matters. I like having a lot of different widgets on the home page and keep it at just the one, for ease of use. The geeni app is important, but the widget is just a bit grim to use, both a bit unsightly, and you can't really adjust the size a whole lot.

I have a doorbell. The alarms from the notification tab don't lead you to the time of alarm in the playback. It shows you the live stream instead. Then you need to painstakingly to locate the extact time frame of the playback. Why's it painful to navigate? First you need to remember the extact minutes and seconds from the previous view. The time slide control is tiny. A pixel off means watching the videos for minutes. No jump/skip buttons to help. The load time is long. Very difficult to use.

There are so many other camera brands that offer similar services for less upfront & ongoing cost. The stored videos are not continuous, they are spliced together jumping from one part of an event to the next. You can see a person walking one second then disappear into thin air. There was no option to download the videos to my phone. I was not able to fast forward or rewind recordings and I also could not zoom in.
