App works ok. Biggest gripe is no real call notification that you can answer showing up when someone rings the doorbell. There is one for the desktop when logged into dsm. But nothing for mobile that i have seen. Just a little small banner notification that someone rang the doorbell at some point that is easily missed if not paying attention. Also would be nice to be able to download clips of recordings from the mobile app without having to go to the desktop. Outside of these it works well.

The app works ok. I can see my camera and access recordings. Event notifications arrive quickly. Some of the notifications have full width previews which are great, but not all of them. This might have something to do with the second issue I have. The app constantly has to log in, every time I open the app, it takes a few seconds to log in. My credentials are remembered and the log in is automatic,but I'm thinking that I only get image previews when logged in. Small but annoying issues.

If I wait 55 seconds it will finally finish the login process and populate my screen with my cameras. The app works better after loaded than the previous version, but gone are the days of quickly viewing my camera at the front door. It was so slow to login that I thought the app was failing--no it just takes almost a full minute to load. Synology, this unacceptable. You need to fix this!!!

Lost PTZ control/button as of a month or so ago. I have not experienced many issues through the years using this app, however, I recently logged in and noticed I no longer have PTZ controls on any of my PTZ cameras that were previously working as expected. **Update after dev response** Thank you for your prompt response, I found it after scrolling on the bottom menu. I would recommend that this button be moved back.(or at least the option to) As I use it often.

I like the app, it's quite powerful. It'd be 5 stars if it actually worked. Using the timeline to go back to an event or even to just slide back causes it to freeze. When it does work, it's great. But it more often just freezes the timeline video. Live feed works just fine. This is all happening on a local network with excellent signal strength, so the freezing is not connection related. The timeline worked fine before this latest major update.

Edit: after a year of usage the app is still unusable. Login issues still persist. Now we also can't get sound out of half our cameras. At this point it's not just annoying, it's terrifying. We get a random knock at the door at 11pm and end up desperately trying to get the app to work to see if there's an intruder. Nothing like trusting your safety to a broken app.
