Speco Blue 4+

Good app, but needs major refinements

On balance, this is a useful app and it serves its purpose as a portal for security camera monitoring. That said, it is in desperate need of some refinement in order to keep up with the times. On the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max the dynamic island obscures some features on the upper user interface, this just needs some tweaks to improve the experience. On the iPad the issues are bigger. The app is unusable on iPad OS 16 if you have stage manager turned on for multi-tasking. Any attempt to window Speco causes it to cease functioning completely. The app also really struggles with switching from portrait to landscape mode on iPad and frequently requires me to undock the iPad from the Magic Keyboard and spin it myself to get the screen to return to proper orientation. An iPad specific version that better makes use of increased screen real estate would be wonderful. This would be a great app if these maddening bugs could be ironed out!

Speco App on MacOS

The speco blue app is a very useful tool for the Iphone However it is not ideal on the macbook pro MacOS. I hope they work on this in the future and make it more streamline. I switched from windows to mac because you cant even use speco on a windows computer. Thank you for great products speco and I hope you update your app.

New update👎🏾

I absolutely dislike this new update, specifically the auto resolution function where the app lowers the camera viewing resolution to a lower quality to improve streaming. The issue is when you are looking at a live feed or even video using the app the picture quality automatically changes and produces a less than favorable view at a low resolution. It’s quite annoying and I feel it’s pointless. It would be nice if that function can be removed especially since I like to have my cameras showing on my iPad constantly and they always look blurry now due to this auto changing feature. When I change the resolution back to a better quality it only last for a few seconds and back to a crappy picture.

Ответ разработчика ,

Hello and thank you for your feedback. While it is true the new app does default to a mode intended to save you bandwidth, there is a way to turn it off. You can do so by clicking on the menu icon at the top-left of the screen and then clicking on "Local". The 4th line down on the Local menu is a toggle to make the "Resolution Adaptive". If you turn this off, it will remain at the selected resolution instead of changing automatically.
