Not RecordingSince the last update two days ago, outdoor cameras are not recording to motion
For the one youBecause I’m going to go to my
Easy to useEasy and inexpensive security solution
Great cameraNormally I have no problem but lately my doorbell camera won’t load live and doesn’t record the video
Works but needs updateThis system will safe you thousands! It works but it needs updating. I have my blink module and camara very close to my high speed
internet modem and still takes a couple minutes to give me a notification. So far it hasn’t been an issue but in a emergency I
can see it being problematic.
Blink cameras systemI like this cameras the only bad or issue I dint like is that they don’t bright as much and I still have hard time putting it to
work at night because either they record to bright or to dark sometimes other than that they are great that’s the only problem.
Thank you

This app is onlyCompatible with latest updateI only wish that the developers would explain this to their customers and Apple would make their phones to let the users know when
an update is stuck in the phone and how to unstick it, it’s a real sad shame I had to google search the information 😡
No issuesIt’s a really simple and bare-bones app, nothing special. Itseems to work as it should with my new Blink Mini camera. I
haven’t had any issues yet.
Version 6.25.0After the upgrade the “close” button is no longer on the full screen in landscape mode.
We shall seeI never thought I’d want a camera until recently. Bought this one because I didn’t want to spend a ton and the app won’t
show me the darn clips🤦♀️ I can see it live but no clips. But for the price, not bad so far and it works on my laptop.
GoodI have had the blink for a good few months now and I like it. I haven’t had any issues with it. Now my only con would be why
when I’m in live do I need to keep hitting continue just to keep the live going? Also after a few mins of doing that it kicks me
out. Please get rid of that.
Not live at all.When I checked my front porch camera, I tapped the window, and two or three seconds later, I heard the sound. Please make it
notice the noise and movement earlier.
Works well for the price paidWorks well. Could use a few enhancements- like being able to disarm the system for x minutes/hours instead of just being on/off
Release NotesNew update every couple of weeks. How about real release notes ?
Thanks for adding the “mark as viewed” featureI’m just writing this review to say thank you!
Unsync issueConstantly unsyncs. If there is a power outage or any wifi issue you better be home to hard reset it or it’s not going to work.
Other than that it’s a pretty good system and I use it every day.
Rotate image requestThis is more of a request to the app writers, can split the sensitivity into 2 parameters, one for daytime and one for nighttime?
I get lots of shadows from the trees triggering the cameras during the day but if adjust for that it won’t capture the critters
that come out at night.
Landscape mode broken on iPhoneThe iPhone app no longer landscapes when you need a bigger view. 16.0 broke it because my table is 15.6.1 and landscapes fine.
Nice going Apple.
It's simple, lacks some ring functionatlity, but wCould be modernised, but very functional, thank you Blink for a low cost service.
Snooze motion detectionIt would be nice if the app let users snooze motion detection. Users can snooze notifications, but recordings continue. Users can
turn off motion detection, but they might forget to turn it back on; thus, a snooze feature that automatically turns motion
detection back on would be great.
Need help BlknkI totally enjoy being able to see what my cats are doing and having security inside my house while I’m away. I can’t seem to
satisfy your need for a password- I’ve never had a password either. My son installed my blink cameras and they’ve been perfect
until now! HELP.
Works very wellMy mini cameras and outdoor cameras have been in the same place for over a year without any issues. Last night, they started
blinking green. At first I thought it was a server issue, but I just had to reboot my router.
AWESOMEReally great product, a bunch of Karen’s that read reviews. So this one’s for you.
Blink camerasOverall they have great features. Sound and picture quality is acceptable for the price. The app is a little problematic.
Constantly closing out or giving system busy error messages.
KitchenI’m getting multiple notifications throughout the day as I monitor my parents’ home. Please edit “kitchen” in your
notifications. You have it spelled incorrectly.
WorksWorks great. Set up in April and batteries still good. Have not had any issues. Some of these people are doing something wrong!

Great productThis is definitely a great video doorbell product which helps to store the video and keeps our home secure. Now I feel the home is
more secured. It is easy to install with lot of features. Overall, I love blink home monitor app.
Blink system Has done the job since day oneI have six cameras at one home and for at another. They work fine and video quality is very good. Storage is free. Any issues are
100% due always crappy signal by WOW.

Too slow to be super usefulTrying to look at live view from the app takes way too long to access. And, as others have said, the time it takes for the cameras
to detect motion at all is painfully slow compared to similar systems. I will not be buying another blink camera system.
Desktop AppMake a desktop app, it would be very useful while your are at work, when cell signal isn’t always available.
Problem with remote accessI have an unlimited subscription but when I’m out of town I get no notification. That’s why I purchased a subscription after
the free service ended.
Is there a setting I’m missing to ensure I get notified when someone is in my porch when I’m over 50 miles away?? Thanks
Rita
Took that long?!The new update makes small and subtle changes that make the app a lot better. But it took a year to do that? Absolutely ridiculous
pace of development on the interface, poor job from the developers for working so slowly on one day changes.
Notification soundWhy does Blink not have the option to change the standard notification tone (sound). This is a basic need as many have suggested
and want.
DisappointedSometimes it records, sometimes it doesn’t. Little red light on camera doesn’t go on. Slow on going live. Paid for 1 year
subscription but I’m going to invest in a different doorbell cam.
App don’t open camara viewIn the app the cámara view don’t open in my phone.
Great idea, poor executionThe app crashes when attempting to use the camera. Cannot move the pan/tilt camera before the app crashes. I don’t expect it to
do all the clips and what not but more so just for looking in and checking on my place while I’m away.
Delete clipsI wish a ‘are u sure’ button would be added to the delete feature so I accidentally don’t delete clips.
Also, I wish it would be more sensitive to picking up people. They are picked up only when vehicles are in view.
Good working app overallApp needs to have ability to add Shortcuts directly to cameras like Ring app.
On/off widget andI’d appreciate a built in ability to have on on/off widget instead of opening the app every time. Also, the drag to rearrange
the cam list doesn’t work.
Module won’t connectUsed to work good. Now module or mini cameras work tried resetting but won’t connect to Wi-Fi. Checked Wi-Fi working fine. Every
time I enter correct password. It tells me it wrong. Maybe time to go to RING
Please add multiple file delete to the appDeleting one at a time is a nuisance. Thank you!
AnnoyedI can never get recorded videos to load and watch after something happens
Snooze doesn’t work anymoreSnooze function doesn’t work anymore.
audioEl audio de las cámaras se escucha muy mal la mayoría de las veces.
la aplicación siempre esta muy lenta...
Unser interfaceFor now everything is working as it is supposed to. The only think that is currently upsetting me is that for some reason the app
crashes or freeze’s my screen. There’s gotta be something wrong with the app that causes this issue.
Update Problem to Horizontal ModeAfter the recent iOS 16 update, I can no longer watch camera videos or still photos in horizontal mode. I’ve contacted both
Apple and Blink about this problem. No update or fix yet.
Hasn’t worked right in monthsI loved this app but for the last few months my motion clips have not been showing up in the clips. It’s really hit or miss and
not reliable when it comes to seeing the clips when motion is detected. We even made it more sensitive and still isn’t
consistent. Please do an update
There a reason why notifications All of sudden shuBlink was working fine, but one of my cameras will no longer connect, to no degree, and the notifications has all of sudden
stopped on my phone, without changing anything.
Please address
Update pleaseEdit- mark all- MARK AS WATCHED
Please add this. I need it so bad.
Need more optionsI need more settings and options on the cameras. The camera doesn’t reach as far as I think it should. I have to set the camera
at a 9 sensitivity to detect anything and then it senses motion when a cloud goes in front of the sun. Do better Amazon!
Needs improvementApp crashes constantly. Status light still turns on in live view after manually turning it off.
No possibility of using it on a second propertyHave the system and love it. WNted to use at parents house elderly and wanted monitoring to keep an eye on their house and now
found out you can’t have a second property in the app and can’t download a second copy of the app
OkI used to think this was a great app but the most recent update made it glitchy to the point that it only opens on 1/10 attempts.
Alert SoundsThere is no option to change alert sounds in the app or in the iPhone settings. The sound can only be toggled on or off.
Pls help meHi I have been using there’s cameras for years now and I pressed something and it logged me out when I put my password in it
never lets me in
Good but still has bugsWe added a system, it worked nicely for a few months. After that a power outage hit and the Sync Module didn’t work. Please fix
this
Can’t loginHave tried several times to login using the exact procedure Blink instructions say to use. No luck. Not a happy customer who’s
paid for service not available.
Without a very strong Wi-Fi signal, you’re hosedCannot play clips unless you have an optimal Wi-Fi connection, which kind of defeats the purpose if you’re traveling
What happened to Clear All?Previous versions of the app had a select all, then delete to get rid of all of your stored clips at once. Latest version no
longer has this - why would you take out some thing as useful as that from the app?
It’s alrightI wish the live mode would work. Anytime my fiancé or I try to use it… it either takes a long time to load/think, or there is
an error… every time.
It got slower the last 2 updates“Live view in progress …” message… seems to stay forever when you try to view another camera or stop and start a camera.
Can you fix it? Make it more snappy please?
Thank you
Delete all at onceNeed to update with the deleting option! It’s not fun deleting one video at a time and every time I get a notification by the
time i open it whatever motion triggered my camera it’s gone because it takes a while before i can actually see it!!!
It’s okayI like that it’s wireless and battery operated. What I don’t like is that it doesn’t not record consistently even without
having app open. Also it’s very annoying when the continue? On the bottom of the screen appears every 10 seconds
Can’t bulk deleteAndroid app lets you bulk delete but the iPad app doesn’t.
Blink and you missed itOk as long as you have WiFi, if it goes out you are in trouble. Everything you own is now being stolen. There will be no
recordings either, there must be a paid account
10 second gap between motion recordings!?!?A lot can happen in 10 seconds you need to fix this!!!! Also the length of your cord with your camera is way too short!
