Seems to work but fails for one cam

Looks like a decent app for accessing Surveillance Station from your device. However, I have found that I can't see the image or recordings (listed but don't play) from one of my cams. Another works fine. The one that fails is H.264 and the one that works is MJPEG, so that might be the difference. Would love to switch to using my NAS as my cam server (and pay for extra licenses as a result), but not being able to view from my phone is a deal breaker.
Can't view cams in full screen

Can connect, see cameras in preview but just a black screen with he spinning loading symbol when try to view them. Works fine out the husbands android phone so it has to be something wrong in the iOS app. It also works when connected to wifi but not a mobile network on iOS, iPhone 7
Feature Needed!

Please add split screen support and/or PiP! I am rarely just viewing the camera app, (on the desktop) and it would be great to have multitasking support on the iOS app!
Live View in h264 doesn't work on iOS

Using h264, http, iOS Live View does not work. Switching to mpeg does, but that puts more load on the system with lower quality. Latest update in Late June did not resolve.
Geofencing

This option is nowhere to be found in the latest version of app as stated for app info.
Doesn't work with T-Mobile LTE connection

Works fine with wifi connections but video won't stream when switch to LTE connection. My carrier is T-Mobile.
T-mobile Data

This app would be perfect, but it doesn’t work on Cellular data. I have t mobile.
Works well for me, once I figured out a few config issues

When I first got the NAS and tried to use this I ran into issues because I set it up to stream video over HTTPS. Turns out this was a well known issue. So now I authenticate over HTTPS but have the app set to stream video over HTTP. It is not the best performing streaming app for security cameras. I used to run SecuritySpy on my Mac and their video app was awesome. Synology is basically just good enough. Re: some other reviews, at least with AT&T mobile cameras stream over LTE just fine.
