Ratings and reviews

Apparently the developer doesn't read the ratings! Pro 2 is a step backwards! Push notifications don't work. Cannot save camera layouts. No help for camera parameters or settings. video recorded on the App does not have date and time of the record file name or way to rename it., just the length of the clip. and the list goes on! my advice to the developers, use the users to help you improve the App! I expect nothing less that a 4 star average resolution rating. Now get to work!

Downgrade compared to the older "Pro" version. the interface is pretty neat and simple to use, I will give it that, but in terms of functionality, it has a major flaw. This new version would not let you remotely view the camera off the cellphone network. works fine if you are on the same network, but keeps failing, at least for me, when I try to remotely view the live feed if I am away from home. Not sure if this issue just started or this has been the case for a while. I am sticking to the Pro.

This app has a nicer UI. However, it's got some major bugs! I noticed that if my remote connection causes more than 1 to 2 seconds to buffer, it just gives up, and I can not even connect to a live camera on my DVR. If I go back to the old app, I still have the initial buffer lag. However, it will continue and then stream the video. So, at this point, I can really only use the app when on my home network. You need to add the ability to change the time out before it gives up on loading a stream!
