Like many are saying, many issues. Connected fine when on same network. Had problems with connecting when on a different network. Apparently the correct IP is not passed to the program. I change the IP address from my local IP number to my network address. This allows the app to see the cameras. Apparently the app is not using the DDNS address correctly. If the address is static this works fine, if not you will need to change it each time it is changed by the ISP.

I'm using an s9 plus and the program seems to work as expected. It did warn me upon installation that it was designed for an older version of android but that doesnt appear to impact performance. I was able to view live feeds with ease (depending on the speed of the network I connected to of course) and search without any trouble. I read the other reviews and I suspect network speed is an issue, maybe. As for crashing, I haven't experienced that yet.

App needs updating. One of my cameras periodically has gray screen but they look fine on the computer hard wired to them. It has to be a problem with the app as it corrects itself a few days later. I can't figure out why. App is very outdated and has very few features. Difficult to impossible to use the search on a cell phone. Fairly time consuming to search even on a computer. Would be nice if it was easier to take still photos off video and easier to save segments of video.

Digital watchdog is way behind the competition and needs to get it together. I've been installing their DVRs for nearly 10 years, and the app has hardly changed a bit. It's so outdated it's pathetic, I can't sell this garbage to my customers

All I can do with this app is look at cameras. Screens will not zoom or inlarge when rotating. App locks up after a minute so i have to look quick at live feed only. Unable to edit or aearch back without locking up.

I cannot get the search button to bring up results on certain cameras. The camera "views" jump around, it is frustrating. And the email address listed below doesn't work.
