This app generally somewhat works if it reports being compatible with your device. It's clear the maker has done very little work to keep it up to date, and it doesn't even work with a current model Google Pixel Tablet, Where of course the bigger screen makes it a lot more useful than it is on a phone. If in another year the whole Hik experience is still this bad, I'm probably going to replace my whole camera system with something still supported by the maker.

The Hik-Connect app is adequate, but just barely. If they don't correct the most glaring glitches, then I'll probably go with a competitor's product, even though it costs more. THE PRESETS DON'T WORK RIGHT. To get a preset to 'stick,' I have to enter it at least three times in a row, then wait 15 seconds. That usually works. But, randomly, presets will switch places ... so that preset for Driveway actually points to Hedges. Then, I have to reprogram them ... again. PLEASE FIX THIS!

the app is quite basic, and the videos that it picks often are due to an insect flying in front of the camera. The video summary does not show a summary image of the videos, which is annoying as you only have the length of the video as a guide to see if it was just a bug or something else. The software could be greatly improved, but it works well, and when we got robbed, we had the face of the robber in every angle for the police to use as evidence.

While on video playback, if viewing on anything above 1X speed it will freeze up if it reaches the end of an event. It will take multiple hours and even days before allowing playback of recorded content. Can only view "Live View". It will just constantly say that "The number of streaming channels exceeded limit. Please stop playing other channels of the device and try again." This has been a constant issue for over 1 year. When will this be fixed????

Works great for the most part. I'd like to see a timer. Can't tell you how many times I've disarmed the system for working outside and forgot to rearm. How about an option to disarm for an hour, 2 , 3 and then it auto rearm. My doorbell does this. Would also be nice to have an option for the cams to open expanded every time so you don't have to scroll horizontally.

App is laggy after the last few updates. The App was working good before but the last few updates have caused it to become slow. When you open the Recent Live View page, it takes time to load the recent live videos which was not the case earlier before the updates. Sometimes it takes ages to open the live view of a particular camera, when you open any particular camera. Developer, please fix this.
