The functionality is the only reason it gets two stars. Works wonderfully... couple bugs but nothing I would be worried about... other than the app being the single biggest draw on my battery. To the point I had to uninstall. I can not, and will not run from charger to charger. All the functionality in the world is no use if your device can't turn on.

Dear Sir, your review is very important to us. If you update to the latest version (3.4.0) and it works for you, could you please review the ratings and give us some positive encouragement? Thank you for the kindly feedback.

Latest version broke the aspect ratio when loading the app. I have to untick /re-tick "Fixed aspect ration" option to fix all cameras so they don't appear stretched. Also there is a error message at the bottom that shows up saying "The streaming is currently unstable..." Did not have these issues with older version. Edit: An update fixed the aspect ratio issue but I am still seeing "The streaming is currently unstable..." message.

Dear User, the message "The streaming is currently unstable..." only appears when the Multiview FPS drop, it may cause by mobile performance or network issue. Try to play less camera in one page, might let the message disappear. Thank you for the kind feedback. We will keep working hard to make DS cam better.

Recently back button leads to the Page 1 instead of the last page you were on. I have 19 pages (2x2) and of I tap to go to a camera on page 16 for instance, then want to go back to the 2x2 page 16, it instead takes me to page 1. Super super irritating. Let's get an update for heavens sake!! You guys gotta move faster on bugs and features. Your system is FAR too expensive to not update.
