Straight trash.

Needed some surveillance over my dogs and this was exactly what I was looking for. Works very well and isn’t difficult to use.

Inused to use it often for monitoring my dog while traveling in the car. Over time I use it less and less. Even w a good 5g connection i spend more time watching it connect than watching the feed. This has gotten worse over time but now it’s hardly usable

This app would be perfect but when you watch the live video feed, any and all audio switches from your bluetooth audio (headphones, car speaker, whatever) to your phone speaker. So you can’t listen privately in shared spaces. This is a big drawback for me and I’m sure for many other users as well.

I set this up in my kitchen to monitor my daughters house party. To make sure things were ok and to make sure things were not getting out of hand. It worked very well. Could see the live feed.

1. Even though the iPhone has excellent video quality, this app reduces the quality of video. 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.

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…

Installed the application on iPhone 13 pro max Live feed is not working The app looks terrible Avoid this application!

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 don’t need 24 7 monitoring, just when I go out of town and want to keep up with the cats Manything has always worked very well and is easy to use

I 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 have to retract my earlier poor review of manything. I was out of town for two weeks and left it running on an old iPhone 6s and it worked flawlessly. Highly recommend no glitches at all.

I’ve been using the app for a while and recently upgraded my subscription, after that it now has trouble staying connected to WiFi. I’ve confirmed it’s not an internet issue and the app appears to be operating fine on the recording device.

So, you have to pay to watch the recordings? I get it if you wanted to watch it from another device but not for the device used as the camera. Total waste of time.

I have been using this app often on for probably seven years now. As time has gone on, the pricing model has become more and more funky. It’s really hard to know what they’re thinking about here. The price for even a couple of devices is completely outrageous. They need to make this much cheaper and invest in coming up with some new features or a new interface for the app. This app has not changed in any major way in the last seven years. It’s a real shame, you feel like they have dropped the ball and they are just phoning it in at HQ here.

It’s free

I tried it thinking I can use an old iPhone 6s as a camera but the resolution was bad and motion detection did not work, could have bought a subscription but not wasting my money on something like that.

They have great Customer Service. This organization has pleasantly surprised me; in the world of social media and so many choices... I know that Manything is my 1st choice. Thank you all so much! ~Andy

Amazingly, this appears to be the only app on the entire iOS platform that allows you to trigger Video recording with sound… I was looking for something to document noisy neighbors that I could leave running and would only record the loud noises. Well, that part of it worked perfectly. And then I tried to listen to what I recorded. You have to have a subscription to even listen to video where you record it on your own phone. They do not allow you to store it locally, you MUST upload it to their server, so they’re justified in charging you a subscription, which you then must cancel when you decide you don’t want it, you can’t just buy a fixed number of days. Therefore this app costs close to $100 a year to use. I would happily pay a couple bucks, even more than a couple bucks, as a one time payment, to be able to record video triggered by noise and document my noisy neighbors. But there’s no reason for me to have to sign up for an account and upload my private video to the cloud, let alone pay a recurring subscription charge over and over again, for something that I just need to be able to play back on my phone. That’s absurd and greedy, and makes this almost-useful app completely useless to me.

I’ve used this app for years and love it! But the last update for iOS 14 has broken the app. Live mode does not work and only posts still shots of motion. I used this app as security for my home and also for my business and it’s useless now. I have sent a few emails asking for help but have heard nothing back. Please get this app working again.

Find a better app that does similar things without constantly crashing. I used it as a pet monitor and it crashes unexpectedly while I’m out of the house, rendering it ineffective at the wrong time.

Looked promising but app crashes every time I try to view a video. The website is Jim also, tested with Chrome and Firefox. The camera runs fine on a bunch of old iPhone 4S, but that useless if the viewer doesn’t work.

Right up front it asks for access to all my files. I selected NO. I did give access to camera and microphone. I set up my camera on the Monitor/camera phone and then tried to set up the control phone. It said the account did not match anything. So, I tried to log in under Set Up New account. It said the account information already exists. 🤷🏼‍♀️The camera is on and monitoring. I hope some creep is not watching what I do! I will be uninstalling quickly and reporting if something doesn’t happen pretty quick.

Reset. Online. 20 minutes later, offline. Reset. Online. Go to work. Before getting to work, offline. Offline Offline Offline Offline After years of repeatedly notifying Manything of this Huge programming flaw, Manything continues to ignore and do anything about it. Hi levels of stress and frustration ahead. You have been warned..

I have used the free version for years! Using iPhone and iPad. It does what it says never gave me any problems. I always tell people about it. Great app! I wish there was an option to leave it up to the user to record or not. Other than that it’s so great!

I've been using Manything for a couple of months now to monitor the plants in my office while we're shut down due to the virus. It's been working well for my limited needs. It's really simple to set up and use.

UPDATE 6/1/20 - The app does not work for me at all. There is no live video at all. There are recordings in my feed but no live video. The recordings are capturing intermittent 8 - 9 second videos even though I have it set to continuously record. I have contacted the app support several times and have received no response. I have been a subscriber of manything for two years and now I am discontinuing my subscription and uninstalling the app. It's useless at this point and they aren't helping. The app no longer works for me since my phone has been updated. The videos frequently go black. There is much lag and sometimes it gets jerky and speeds up. I also have 9s videos even though I have continuous recording set. There was an issue in front of my home I needed on camera and ask the thing caught was 8s of action even though 4 people were in front of the camera moving. Right now on iPhone 11 I cannot contact my other camera to see live footage. It continuously says contacting camera, although the video is still actively recording actions. I cannot see live footage at all. I emailed support and so far have not heard anything in the past four days. It's pointless to have a subscription with no support and unusable video

I got this app so that I can keep an eye on my 3D printer to make sure the print is coming out well. The remote flashlight function is great so that I don’t have to keep a light on all the time, and the clarity is good enough so that I know what’s going on. My main complaint (which is pretty minor) is that the recording disconnects every few minutes, even on the continuous recording mode (both when connected and not connected) which means if I want to download a video longer than just a few minutes (like for a time lapse) then I’d have to figure out how to combine multiple clips. I was hoping that paying for a subscription would improve the quality, but I just have to do any time lapses separate from the app. Again, not a big deal, this app is great for what I was looking for

Works great for the most part it’s just one bug that’s frustrating and almost make me not want to use this app anymore. Randomly some of the camera settings don’t appear. Camera on/off, still mode, mute, flashlight, etc. don’t show up.

The free version used to allow viewing events for 24 hours after event was triggered. Now all of a sudden ZERO. Becomes 100% useless and worthless unless you fork over cash. I will uninstall as soon as I get back home this weekend.

Worked great for a few months, I paid for a sub and then was told this app was not going to work anymore and to download another app that I didn’t want. Just cancelled everything and don’t get why this app is still being offered here.

The app interface is designed to make it nearly impossible to cancel your account. It is ever so easy to upgrade from the app. But if you want to cancel, good luck. The subscription is either managed in your phones iCloud settings or from the iTunes Store app. Where you can cancel chambers changes with iOS updates. Good luck finding it. This is more than bad UX. This is akin to nutritional supplement subscription scams.

This app was just good enough with the free features. Now you must subscribe for any storage. Will keep an eye out for an update but for now removing.

Nothing serious, just a nuisance. When opening the app, it doesn’t return to last mode, which is usually Viewer mode. It used to open up all the way to the active phone being used as Camera. So now when I get a motion alert, I tap the alert, and the app opens as if it’s the very first time it’s being opened. I have to select “Viewer”, then select whichever phone that was set up as a “Camera” and is online. I haven’t found a setting to control this. Thanks for a great app.

I had enjoyed this for a while but now you can’t even replay the last video. You have to subscribe to view the last video it recorded. The subscription for this a month is steep. You should only pay one price and that’s it, not pay a monthly subscription. It’s a rip-off.

I love this app it works perfectly fine

I tried using this app for a couple months and canceled it. It sometimes would work and other times stop recording. I canceled my subscription but they are still trying to take my money. I canceled my card to stop them.

There are A TON of options for cloud security cameras these days. I do like the ease of using an extra iphone for this, but the problem is You must be logged into icloud as a result and so my phone constantly has issue where it wants to update or notify some system thing which causes problems for the camera recording consistently. i have to routinely check the display and close all the modal alerts out or the phone overheats with the display on full bright which it automatically does. I know the app doesn’t really have any say in this, but it’s a downside of using only an Idevice

This app has been great for me for what seems like years. I use mostly the stills mode.

Hello all, I’ve been a paying customer of manything for years now. Sometimes I don’t have any cameras setup but I keep paying the subscription so that a company that I like survives. I’ve left my home unattended and my camera went offline but I did not receive any push notification on my phone. That’s fine because I got an email. However, I tried to look at the cloud recorded videos but couldn’t see anything that my camera saw before it went offline. I’ve emailed support yesterday but they haven’t responded. Now I’m left with no information about whats going on at home while I’m traveling abroad. I will never use manything again and take back all the recommendations I made to my friends. I hope you guys struggle real hard as I’m struggling right now.

Phone gets very hot. Absolutely no mention of this problem on FAQs
