Ratings and reviews

Video feeds often don't load in a timely manner or at all. Video feeds are sometimes slow, grainy, jittery, and freeze. Especially if you try to watch for several minutes at a time. I've had 3 events on my property in the last 6 months that I've wanted to watch and the video playback hasn't worked right. Hasn't worked 100% the whole time I've had it. Tech support says wait for an app update. No update has fixed my issues.

When I open the App all I see is a black screen with vivint icon. Problem was intermittent but now it's more constant. When I do see video feed it's too late. Also, at least once a month the panel keeps disconnecting from my WiFi and routers have to be restarted and the panel rebooted in order to get a video feed. Impossible to do when out of town.

Video features aren't always available such as play back or video recording. App doesn't always open. Notifications are always late or never sent to my phone. My family have Uninstaller then reinstalled this App several times over the past 3 years on both Android and Apple phones. The simple usage of the app imhas been progressively getting worse and worse. I don't believe it's a cellular device issue. It's a software problem that has not been resolved.
