Comments on Blue Iris for Android

★★★★★ 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!

★★★★★ Spencer Thomas · Sep 17, 2024

None of my 10 locations work anymore since the update. Completely useless app

★★★★☆ Benjamin Martens · Sep 18, 2025

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.

★★★★★ jerry carscadden · Feb 17, 2026

This App works great. Have used it for about 5 years now. I love seeing my cameras when I'm out of the county

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Mike Alger · May 1, 2025

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.

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Mueller · Nov 18, 2025

Blue Iris is circling the drain. The Android app gets more and more unreliable as time goes on, and the video rendering is even worse. It's been 4 years; let's fix this, or time to move on.
