User Reviews
The latest update no longer supports the original version of the server for playing back surveillance videos. They also didn’t fix the bug where most of the cameras in the main view are intermittently not showing up. Perhaps it works with the newest version of server, but the original version which supposed to still work, is no longer supported. Very disappointing.
Latest update causes playback to be super slow or never start. Not good at all. Please revert this release.
Please fix, app constantly crashing while scrolling through cameras…
Latest update fixed the issues, but rating 3 for now because the app was completely unusable for like a month prior to the fix.
The app does not load correctly, it does not show the saved videos. Overall it is not a great use of the app anymore
Please fix this update! The last version was so much better!!! My cameras will hardly load and playback.
With the most recent update- video is no longer playing smooth. It like skips randomly. Overall blue iris is great though (v4). I know they want you to update to version 5- but everything I read seems to refer to problems with updates. As someone who already has a reverse proxy with https running- I don’t see any major new benefits that would be worth the risk yet…
Not sure what happened with the update, but for about a week now when i access the cameras on my phone camera not loading or takes for ever to load. Never had this problem before. I am on the last Bi desktop version and iphone 16 pro max plus version
Please change the new color scheme. It looks really bad. Other style updates are great.
App work. Fine until recent update. Now it won’t load properly on iPadOS
