Ratings and reviews

App works ok. Biggest gripe is no real call notification that you can answer showing up when someone rings the doorbell. There is one for the desktop when logged into dsm. But nothing for mobile that i have seen. Just a little small banner notification that someone rang the doorbell at some point that is easily missed if not paying attention. Also would be nice to be able to download clips of recordings from the mobile app without having to go to the desktop. Outside of these it works well.

The app works ok. I can see my camera and access recordings. Event notifications arrive quickly. Some of the notifications have full width previews which are great, but not all of them. This might have something to do with the second issue I have. The app constantly has to log in, every time I open the app, it takes a few seconds to log in. My credentials are remembered and the log in is automatic,but I'm thinking that I only get image previews when logged in. Small but annoying issues.

If I wait 55 seconds it will finally finish the login process and populate my screen with my cameras. The app works better after loaded than the previous version, but gone are the days of quickly viewing my camera at the front door. It was so slow to login that I thought the app was failing--no it just takes almost a full minute to load. Synology, this unacceptable. You need to fix this!!!
