What people say
Disappointing
As with so many others, use to love this camera but the introduction of ads to the app has now made it almost unusable. I left a comment on their facebook page (cleverdog camera) and in the apple app store, but I doubt if they ever respond to the complaints on there either.
The adverts
The adverts. Impossible to dismiss them. The close link just takes you to the Play Store or another download page so you can't access the camera. You have to close them and retry opening the clever dog app, for the whole sorry process to start all over again. Useless!
Useless now due to ads
Useless now due to ads, no longer usable due to stupid ads. Used to be great now I’ll have to throw it out

Adverts when opening app the WORST idea ever, if you face an emergency and need to see the camera stream promptly be prepared to have to watch pointless adverts for silly games before access; ripping my two camera out and getting rid. Avoid this product.
The appearing of ads when you open the…
The appearing of ads when you open the app to check your camera. It is not possible anymore to get a quick glance on the camera because of these ads. So sad, it was perfect before.
AVOID !!!!
AVOID !!!!! Can’t access cameras due to Ads . Use to be great - now unusable.
App ruining camera usage
The cameras used to be great but now the app shows multiple ads before being able to view, NOT GOOD in emergency security alert will bin them now and never recommend to anyone to buy totally useless app. DO NOT BUY unless another app can be used.
Hopeless Security cameras
I am looking for replacement alternatives to my clever dog security cameras as the adverts have made the app not fit for purpose. I have informed everyone I know who have been looking for some easy to use security cameras Not to use clever dog.

I’d review with less than 1 star if I could. Used these cameras for a while but now with the ads they spam you with they’re a waste of time!! I’ll be throwing the cameras away and replacing! Don’t waste your money! 😡😡🤬
*** DANGEROUS SECURITY ISSUE ***
*** CONTINUING SECURITY ISSUE! *** *** DO NOT BUY *** 1) The Issue is that: ***BEFORE YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR CAMERA, YOU HAVE TO ENDURE A PLETHORA OF UNWANTED ADVERTS!*** 2) This is NOT GOOD because THIS DELAY means that in the event of an incident, you WILL MISS the opportunity to view the incident and to take photos or identify the offender! 3) CLEARLY, CleverDog ***IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE*** AS ***IT DOES NOT FUNCTION IN A TIMELY MANNER*** ***AS DESCRIBED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE!*** 4) CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXTREMELY POOR! - I contacted them 14 days ago about this ***totally unacceptable issue*** and ***they have still not responded!*** *** CONTINUING SECURITY ISSUE! *** *** DO NOT BUY ***
Clever Dog WAS very good good but now before…
Clever Dog WAS very good but now before one can see through the camera an advert comes up and even though there's an x to get rid of it, it dont go until the advert is finished. This is a security camera and in the event of an incident one needs immedate conection to the camera. It is no longer fit for purpose.
App now useless due to adverts
Do not buy Clever Dog cameras! The cameras used to be great and easy to use. However, now in a recent emergency I could not access the cameras quickly due to a concession of game adverts. And not just small adverts but full screen sized! Clicking the X only takes you to another screen with another game advert. Plus the volume of the advert is so loud and you can’t shut it off. Which means you can’t check your pets, discreetly, while you’re out and about because everyone can hear the loud gaming noise! These cameras are now going in the bin as they are literally useless now!
App makes cameras unusable
I used to love Cleverdog cameras - not expensive and top quality, but ... The new app has made the cameras unusable. The app has introduced adverts which in itself is just an irritant. But the adverts have LOUD sound whether you've minimised sound of not, and even worse, as fast as you close one another opens. Takes ages before it lets you through by which time you've given up. Whatever problem Cleverdog was notifying you about has long since gone. Time to ditch and buy something else.
Clever dog
Clever dog Used these for a while at first they were great now not fit for purpose as advertisements for games pop up which you can’t close down until they have finished. Absolute rubbish DO NOT BUY mine are going in the bin as completely useless now
Before you can view the camera you have to but up with numerous ads
Before you can view the camera you have to put up with numerous ads .

As others have said I can’t now access the camera for bloody adverts, completely useless to me now, another piece of tech resigned to the bin because of greedy developers……don’t buy, it never used to be like this, it stinks!
No longer fit for purpose due to app ads
The ads that you now have to watch make it impossible to quickly access the live feed, should you need to. That and the ads covering half the page means this is no longer fit for purpose and I will be switching to an alternative. I understand that with many free apps that ads are needed, however this is an app that works solely with a camera product, and therefore when choosing and buying a camera I don’t think it is unreasonable to be able to access the live feed without the delay of numerous ads!
Cleverdog Adverts Pop up Stitch up
I have been using 3 cameras for years and years with no issues, now we have full page adverts with close down crosses which deviously take you to the game App download site. We now have to wade through 3 adverts to get to the cameras, absolute joke, I am now dumping the lot and seeking a different system as there is no way of turning them off. Your sales will drop off a cliff with this issue, you obviously don't care about your customers. this is a pop up stitch up, DO NOT BUY THIS!
