Ratings and reviews

I love the cameras and was very happy with the app. However, after your recent updates, it's almost as if you are deliberately causing inconveniences to line the customer up for another PAY-TO-REMOVE/USE feature. I am extremely annoyed at your constant reminder every 5 minutes that my "viewer" has been running for 5 minutes. It completely Interups my live stream on my home display. It is extremely unnecessary. If you feel the need to implement it, you should at least add a toggle off option.

Light-years ahead of Wyze and couldn't be happier that I switched away from them after 5 years of torture. However, there's some issues. The C520WS I have (2) both randomly forget to be at full resolution despite being set that way with max reception. And I'd *REALLY* love a "reboot all" button. More than anything.

Compared to the other two apps I've used for smart lighting, Tapo is intuitive and easy to use. I'm able to set up all the schedules I want to with ease, as well as directly controlling what my lights are doing at any given moment. Govee, by comparison is won't let me set up schedules, and it is really hard to figure out, while Lumiman worked but wasn't super intuitive, and they don't even make the bulbs I was using anymore so I couldn't replace the ones that died after three years.
