This is a great app for the most part, but some of the recent updates( as a couple months), made it so I am running into app issues.
The 1st major issue I am having is that audio doesn’t load half the time. I need to keep on relaunching the app and sometimes the audio feed would load. This happens on all cameras local to nvr and remote. This happens with and without Bluetooth devices connected to my iPhone.
Another issue I am running into is if the feed is buffering, it is hard to close the app. I have a iPhone 12 that doesn’t have a physical home button, and you need to swipe up to close apps… for some reason the app locks me out of the ability to swipe to close until the feed buffers. I end up trying to swipe up for 30 seconds or so until it registers.
I would be happy to provide diagnostic data with developers, please take a look at this issue

Overall I really do enjoy this app and Synology SS. The notification and viewing functions work as expected.
Previously I was on a cloud based camera system. Not to name names, but it got really old having constant subscription ads not to mention the delay in loading live video. Sometimes 60+ seconds and by then the detected event was over.
Problem solved with Synology SS and this app.
Connecting over the LAN or WAN is extremely fast. (assuming you have solid internet service)
The only complaint I have is that I have 4K cameras which require a lot of bandwidth to view. You can specify a secondary stream profile for mobile viewing at a lower resolution which works fantastic for live viewing.
However if you try and replay an event, it replays at the higher recording resolution which is a issue on limited mobile bandwidth.
It would be nice if they would add a streaming transcoder function to lower the resolution when needed on playback.
Or add a option to record video at two different resolutions and allow you to switch between the two.
I know I could lower the recording resolution. But that defeats the purpose of the high resolution cameras if I ever needed the video as evidence.

Unlike many other surveillance apps, this one (in combination with the appliance, of course) is actually useful. I can tell that some thought went into the UI design.
I am desperately missing a way to quickly switch between cameras when looking at a camera in full screen. I should j just be able to swipe left/right instead of the three taps that are currently required. I would also like the play head to stay when I switch from full screen to multi view. Currently, the play head position is reverted back to the position from before entering full screen.
