UPDATE - 8/14/2019: Push notifications are no longer working; this seems to be a common issue reported in the past couple weeks. It may be tied to the Android security patch dated 8/1 - mine stopped working as soon as I installed that update. I reached out to Y-Cam customer service over the weekend, but have yet to receive a response. Thankfully email notifications are working, but this app is still wildly unreliable. Notifications work properly most of the time, but actually opening the app and trying to watch video clips almost always crashes the app.

The camera itself is good. The app must have been made, in the dark, by invisible fish!!! The app never opens. I've have extremely cheap cameras with better software. I don't think the developers even test anything they do. So, without a working app, the camera is useless. It won't connect well to wifi. I gotta amazing internet. I know this, because of the devices I've used with it. The user manual is small with not much in it. There's no cables that would allow me to just connect the camera to my phone. Having software install this way, plus a wired connection, would make more sense. This app doesn't even deserve 1 star.

Over the time I've had the system the app has deteriorated from good to the point where it's just not useable. There's only been one app update in over a year and that barely changed anything. The app crashes and seizes up constantly and that's on a modern smartphone with fast network. The system is just about still usable to check that everything's ok with what you're monitoring but you can't spend any real time using the app before it crashes.
