I have the same issue, did anyone ever figure this out? Overall I like the cameras but the app is absolutely awful, it is the most buggy app I have on my phone, basic features simply do not work.

If one of these companies open-sourced their firmware, competent developers would rapidly imp...

I cannot even believe that support is going aro...
