Ratings and reviews

The app has a potential, but it's unreliable. Many times it asks me to log in, even if there is no reason for it. Sometimes I can't make calls, call someone, receive calls, etc. The app fails at these tasks at random, even if it worked fine a moment ago. It's kind of annoying when someone is at your door, you see that person on your screen but you can't receive a call because of some random error.

Works well insofar as if someone rings my bell I get the call, I can view the camera at any time & can buzz people in. Advanced features like facial recognition, nfc, Bluetooth, etc don't work but that may be due to the model of my intercom or admin settings. I've been using it for over two year without any technical issues on the apps side. The app is also regularly updated. (photos taken when someone is buzzed in are significantly clearer than capturing an image, idk why)

Cool idea, but the app service running in the background all the time causes huge drain on battery especially if you're on cell data! I had to disable it. An option to disable the background call service and replace it with just a push notification that says for example "you got a call from x at the time y" would be good. Otherwise I have to disable the app all together as there's no other way to get its background service to stop! And the call fullscreen alert is too intrusive anyway...
