Ratings and reviews

My experience so far is that the app worked sort of about 6 months ago but I picked up a second camera and opened the app and it tries to load and then crashes out. It's impossible to even open it. I also tried to restart my phone and even uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still can't do anything with it. Tries to open and crashes about 3 seconds into loading.

The app works fine for me, easy to use and all. The reason for the 1 star though is because I get a notification about 50 times a day that the app has crashed, regardless of if i ever opened it or not. I cannot scroll through my phone's screens without a crash. I have to go into settings and force stop the app just so it would leave me alone, but that is only a 1 hour fix.

My biggest problem with this app is that it doesn't seem to be able to be connected to Google Home, of which it states right on the box that it does! There are several other Vivitar apps that will connect, but not this one, which is what I have to use for my IPC113 camera. My other big problem is that the sensitivity is way too high for using as a patio camera. I shouldn't have to put up with alerts every 5 seconds just because the wind is blowing. Oh well, I got the camera for free anyway.
