As described by other reviewers, the app has become unreliable in its reporting scheme. The camera will still detect artifacts (motion, person, etc) however it will no longer record and notify the instance. The 1st time this happened, a soft reboot remedied the problem. However at this time the rebooting solution no longer helps. Stuck with a working hardware with a trippy app.

The app is generally well-designed, but there are still fundamental problems. When you receive an alert notification and click on it, often the app opens the *current* live camera view instead of the clip that triggered the notification. OFTEN. I have 6 Tapo cameras and this happens with all of them randomly. The motion detection boundary is also routinely (but intermittently) ignored. Tapo's response is useless.

Ever since the update a few days ago, the widget won't keep my camera. I'll get it all set up, it'll seem back to normal, then moments later the widget shows that I don't have any cameras. It says add one to my favorites, but in the app, it's already in my favorites. This has happened numerous times in the last couple of days. I cleared the cache, no help. I just uninstalled & reinstalled, so we'll see how that goes...
