Ratings and reviews

This app blew through my monthly data in 10 minutes, be careful. There's 0 compression done so the full bandwidth is sent through. No options to change or set limits. I peaked at my cameras for 10 seconds then closed the app and it used 5 gb in the background. I have no idea why this app was programmed to continue running once you minimize it/switch away. Make sure you disable background app data usage in your android app options as the app absolutely uses background data

Good start on getting an app for Shinobi. On boarding experience is pretty good. Live stream taking too long to load or not loading. Pulling saved videos is decent. Scrubbing through the video needs some work. Can't skip ahead. Need to download the video first. Would be nice to be able to skip ahead or play back at higher /lower speed.

I like that I can pull all the recordings with thumbnails in a full list, that is a nice feature even the official shinobi app does not do that, and it is a simple app. But I can't watch any of my monitors, it says "no stream available" although my house monitor is showing the cameras. I have them setup with B64. If there is a fix let me know, I have tried from inside and outside my network.
