Blue iris iOS app

Since last update this app crashes when you press add server button tried reinstalling same BS

Update constantly nags users to upgrade

The latest update constantly forces pop ups to appear and tells users to upgrade from blue iris 4 to blue iris 5. This is sneaky behaviour by the developer as both versions are 99% identical and the upgrade provides no real benefits. The developer needs to remove these pop up NOW. Savvy users can see this behaviour for exactly what it is, an underhanded attempt from the developer to try and get more money from users who have already paid full price for the software.

5 years in and have found nothing lacking

All (minor) issues have been ultra promptly resolved. This is a BRILLIANT product at an excellent price point affordable to all, private and commercial alike. With the power and extensive functionality for commercial use right back to simplicity for the average home user. The ONLY thing I personally would like, is more ability to configure camera settings from within the mobile app. Cannot speak highly enough of ken and his product. It will be a sad day when he has to pass it into someone else’s care.

7 years in and still love it

I’ve never found anything negative to say about blue iris in the 7 years I’ve been using it. It does everything I want and more that I didn’t know I wanted. I tried about 10 other up camera monitoring softwares before I came across blue iris and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve recommended it to many friends who all now swear by it. Well done guys.

Unreliable, inefficient & complicated

The app doesn't allow for most controls to be utilised on an iPhone/iPad - don't waste your money paying for the full version! The whole layout has a very complicated feel to it, and isn't user-friendly at all. The only version worth using is the PC one (which defeats a lot of the purpose if you were hoping to use the software/app on a mobile device). Very disappointed.

More than just another IPCam app!

If you own the Blue Iris PC software, this app is an essential part to monitoring your IPCam system... and it's worth every cent. It provides functionality unfound in other apps which integrates with the PC software for full customisation of monitoring setting, system information and alerts, and user access. I believe this app is reasonably priced and I'm happy to support the developer so he continues to develop, improve and innovate Blue Iris.

Fantastic!

Works as advertised, fantastic addition to BlueIris software (which needs to be running on PC s somewhere) Regular updated. Robust, easy for novices to use & navigate Highly recommended (along with BI PC software) If looking for windows security video monitoring very hard to beat

Great app needs updating

Very nice app. Works really well for remote viewing and control. Would be 5 stars if it had iPhone 6+ support.

Excellent App for Blue Iris users

Excellent app, does all you could want. It has a neat function in that you can set it up examples seamlessly for use internal and external access allowing you to access your server from anywhere. Well done !

Excellent App

Fully functional app that nicely complements the desktop version
