This App works great. Have used it for about 5 years now. I love seeing my cameras when I'm out of the county
★★★★★Mike Mattern· Jan 16, 2025
I've had no serious issues with this app. It works very well and is definitely a convenient way to access the cameras remotely. Very pleased!

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.

I appreciate having a native android app to review my security footage. A feature request would be the ability to search a timeline by date/time. I would like to look up, for example, (date) at (time), and then enter the timeline with the slider set to the specific time.

Who designed this app? Guessing a high school student. At minimum, not a professional. The app is just, weak. It's functional to a degree, and the UI is decent. But ... You open it, check some cameras, then switch to another app. When you return to Blue Iris, it no longer connects to cameras. So each use of it requires you to terminate the app. Performance on searching and skipping through history videos is really bad. When a clip ends it shows a date of 2015 lol

The design choices for this app are straight out of the 90s. Horribly unintuitive and lacking the basic functionality all the other security camera apps have.
★★☆☆☆Cameron Weber· Nov 26, 2024
Really wish there was an easy way to revert to a previous version of this app. Used to work fine but now notifications quite delayed and often struggles to load the cameras.
