Awful piece of software – Hik-Connect - for End user Review

This is one of the worst pieces of iOS software I’ve ever had the displeasure to use. It’s badly designed, it’s not easy to use, it violates many iOS conventions, it crashes a lot and clearly the developers did not understand how to write a decent iOS app. The thing I find most frustrating is how the developers have not made correct use of the iOS APIs which makes the app difficult to use because it does not function the way other iOS apps do. Another thing that contributes to the poor quality of the app is that it is just plain ugly, well designed iOS apps are usually aesthetically pleasing but not this one. The developers of the app also did not bother to get the app properly translated into English so there are horrible mistranslations such as when one is asked whether one wishes to overwrite existing data and the app asks one if one “wants to cover it”. A truly horrible piece of software, if people have given this app a rating of 4.7 it’s only because they like the information the app makes available not because it’s a good app. YUK !
