“Video's stutter, and are quite glitchy, finding what you're looking for is a chore.”
“Android app updated and now unable to connect on LAN (HTTP) OR WAN/internet (HTTPS).”
“$10 for an app that can't even pull up tapped notifications with any sort of reliability is insane.”
“Don't waste your money on this app.”

Disappointing. It was working but now it won't connect, even when using the QR scan to set it up.

does connect to blue iris server
works great on my home cctv server
its usable, but the video quality isnt very good and it freezes up and crashes on me a lot. no issues scrubbing or anything on desktop
The app works OK, BUT after opening the app, then leaving it in background, and returning to the app, it never reconnects with the BI server. I have to close the app completely so that it's no longer in memory, then re-open it, and then it works. App refresh simply gives me a spinning wheel that never quits with a "Loading..." message. I've tried deleting the data and no help. Developer: Please fix! I have a friend also with an Android phone that has this same issue.

Been using BI for many years. Been using this app on Android since 2019 when I switched from iPhone. I did have push notifications working years ago but they stopped working one day and ive never been able to fix it. The most frustrating thing I have with this app is when watching a recorded clip, the video stream keeps restarting from the beginning. Attempting to watch a clip that's maybe 2 minutes long takes about 20 minutes due to the restarts or i just give up.

Been waiting years for this app to be even remotely as functional as any modern app and no change. $10 for an app that can't even pull up tapped notifications with any sort of reliability is insane.

“This android app is very slow to load on my Note 10 plus but it worked great on my Note 8 just a couple of days ago.”
“Changing to http in the server settings fixes my login problem but not what I want.”

“Love this app, works great!”
“All in all this app gets the job done and I haven't had any problems, I definitely think it needs a little polish, and while I understand that it's more desi…”
“Notification always plays default sound despite choosing a particular sound making it indistinguishable from other notifications”
“I love it and I will live longer without the stress of not knowing why my alarm is going off when I'm 100 miles or more from home.”
“Thanks to a IT friend, I got access to cameras again outside local network and finally updated this app - this was/is an android OS change with cert requirem…”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
