Manything

The app works very well, every feature is exciting, the only issue that I'm not getting all of the push notifications if motion is detected, even if my refresh rate is on 1min

First time using it, I went to buy food and left the camera pointing towards my bedroom where my dog was sleeping. The first thing I started hearing was a voice saying "Hi Dog, Hi Dog" then i stepped in my room & it went quiet. The scariest part was that the voice was MINE! Very scary & confusion. I do not recommend it since not sure if it was AI.

Live video doesn’t load quick or reliably, motion saved clips rarely play, constant playback error message. App freezes repeatedly. Waste of money for the premium. Switched to AlfredCamera, resolution and functionality work far better than Manything. More money but far more features and continuous recording. Don’t waste your time with Manything.

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. 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. 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. 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.

Purchased the subscription for home monitoring but wanted to use it for monitoring my indoor garden. I will start to say that the app did not perform its function and has inconsistent motion detection. I have a 4 year old night shade that was going to bloom for its first time so I pointed the camera in its direction. If you know night shades only bloom once very briefly and then wilt. The camera did not detect and motion of the flower despite being 14 inches from the plant, however in the distance of the window the camera went off once to detect a person. I had the camera up for 3 days to catch the event. So not only did it not detect the flower, but in all that time it only caught one person walking down a relatively busy city street. So it’s not even reliable for what it is designed to do which is home monitoring. I cannot recommend this product.

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.

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!

I used this app for awhile with my android as the viewer and old iPhone 6s as the camera. I would get one recording that I could review at a time and if I delete it I could review the next one and so on.. since getting a new iPhone I can’t review a single recording without paying! I suppose that might be worth it, but I don’t need that much…

It was great for ai long!! Now it doesn’t work at all!!’

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…
