8 of 25I don’t know how you did it, but you finally got the app to connect to the cameras quickly! I have been waiting for this since Manything launched! Kudos to you!
I used this app to turn my garage into a giant cat trap. We set up an iPad pointing at a safe box with some food and a warm blanket. As soon as we saw movement we closed our garage from the outside! Very thankful as we now have our cat “bud” back with us!
The app crashed non stop, it will not run more then a 2 days without stopping. I’ve messaged them multiple times and they know of the issue but don’t have the fix. Instead they keep upgrading me .. it’s worthless without a means to record.
1. Even though the iPhone has excellent video quality, this app reduces the quality of video.<br/><br/>2. If you are using your iPhone to listen to audio, the audio turns off when you view the live camera feed—even if you are not playing audio through the feed and the feed is on mute.
Great when it works! It would be great if someone could actually tell me what TS steps I should try vs using my TS experience to isolate the issue on my own. It won’t even allow me to access my account and cameras from the website. Going on 4 mos as of today. I’m sorry I’ve recommended their app to so many people at this point. Deleted & re-downloaded to all devices, deleted my subscription, deleted and re-added my account, worked until I added a second viewer to the account and now I’m back to square one telling me everything is “offline” showing blank viewers, yet sending me motion alerts! You would think that they would want to resolve this bug, but all I’ve gotten is inaccurate statements about my devices, & my connection, and a snarky comment about me not using their platform so there was nothing to TS! lol What is there to use?! I’ve emailed for months that it’s not working… lol accounts are deleted again- I’ll try again another day when I have more time to waste…
I’ve found no other app that detects motion,sound,blocking areas, complete remote control away from home, and multiple cameras. Been using it for 4 years and is 100% reliable. Was too sensitive and had to turn down detection levels. This on a 11 year old iphone 4 as the camera.
I’ve used Manything for years with an old iPad and old iPhone. Worked great; all questions answered quickly. <br/>Now it no longer works because it requires an iOS not compatible with OLDER hardware. Seems pretty illogical. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any alternate options for older iPads.
When you open the app, it takes 5 to 30 seconds to connect to the other camera. Once finally connected, it will show you a list of video clips to view. Usually at least a few of them won’t play. I once contacted the developers about this. They said “sorry there aren’t any video clips in the cloud.” Yet I was looking at a few clips that I had not been able to play. And this - clips that record but can’t play because they “don’t exist in the cloud - happens ALL the time. <br/>I theorize that sometimes the camera records and then the recording doesn’t get sent to the cloud and so for many recordings that supposedly are sent to the cloud I’m paying $7.99 a month for 30 days of this, of recording, endless video clips where half of them or more don’t play. Insane. Other apps cost far less. They can’t work any worse than this one. <br/><br/>What’s truly bizarre is that while I had it in my bedroom, to observe what a kenneled dog does while I was gone, it worked fine. Yet when I placed it in the living room to see who was coming and going, it showed a few clips of me coming and going while setting it up. After that during the times when I wasn’t there and someone else was coming and going, none of those clips would play. Today there are about 30 clips of others coming and going, and on hitting “play” it did the usual spinning a gear endlessly then finally told me there’s an error in playback. <br/><br/>So this offers no security whatsoever. It offers zero reliability. It is more expensive than five other apps that do the same thing. If I had to do over, I would try anything else before this. I’m so angry that I’ve wasted so much money with this.
