HUGE Improvements

This app has undergone such a tremendous makeover and keeps getting better with each new update. It’s obvious the developers are carefully considering which features are useful on mobile and which should remain available only through the Dashboard via a web browser so as to provide a solid user experience. On the MV side, would love to see the addition of some features commonly found in consumer camera apps out of the box like push notifications on activity and use of the mobile device’s geolocation services in policies for recording and/or alerting.

Not “dashboard in your pocket”

Can’t claim “dashboard in your pocket” if you can’t alter network or organization settings from it. Having to use a browser to manually log in and make important changes defeats the entire purpose of having an app, especially when you’re troubleshooting next to the rack or the middle of the shop floor. I’m sure it is great for what little it does, but at the moment it does only what I don’t need it for.

If you have ever crouched near a rack with a laptop on your knees, pinch zoomed around the browser based dashboard from your phone while standing on a ladder, or typed with one hand trying to hold a laptop in the other because you didn’t want to drag an entire desk around the shop with you while your MX’s aren’t connecting to your MS’s - you’ll understand.

Latest update broke a lot

With the most recent app update no longer can I switch between different companies or locations within a company. Once you have a location pulled up, the only way to back out now is to force close the app.

UPDATE: Another update fixed the problem mentioned above and the app is back to working great! 👍🏻
