Most-mentioned issues
- Fix notifications: 32 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Check notification delivery and let users control frequency in settings.
“The app will retroactively push notifications from months ago. It spams your watch, which leaves notifications useless. The AI is also useless. You can set it to not send notifications about cars. It doesn’t matter, you’ll get 100 a day for cars driving down the street. As badly…” (1★, v60.1, 2026-10-10, US) - Ship the most requested feature: 32 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Read the quotes below for the exact request; consider a public roadmap.
“Clip viewing is now inefficient and takes 3x longer to review. Please bring back the thumbnail listing to quickly access potential property issues and ability to focus on them.” (1★, v60.1, 2026-10-08, US) - Soften the redesign backlash: 24 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Explain the change in-app, restore the most-missed option, or offer a setting for the old behaviour.
“The new UI is so cluttered and makes viewing anything a chore. At least offer an option to use the old layout with the smaller thumbnails.” (1★, v60.1, 2026-10-08, US) - Speed up loading: 20 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Profile cold start and the slowest screens on older devices; cache content.
“The new update to the clips is horrible!! It’s really slowed down the app. It’s bad enough, that it has me considering switching to a different brand. Scrolling all the giant images to delete is a pain & takes forever. Bring back to small preview option.” (1★, v61.0, 2026-10-20, US) - Fix in-use crashes and freezes: 17 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Match quoted actions to crash reports; ship a hotfix for the top stack trace.
“Had these cameras for a couple years and now the whole system is horrible since new style camera came out. Will get alerts all day from cameras then when you try to open the app you just get stuck with B and loading symbols. App will almost never open and if it does, will say can…” (1★, v61.0, 2026-10-15, US) - Answer support requests: 12 of 221 1–3★ reviews. What to do: Add an in-app contact option and reply to these App Store reviews; Apple lets developers respond publicly.
“Moved into a new home where I have no contact with the previous tenant and Blink cannot manually remove my system from their account. It makes me feel unsafe from a security system. Contacted customer support like the chat suggested and they could not assist. Their policies and p…” (1★, v61.0, 2026-10-19, US)

Method and limits
Reviews were collected once from Apple's public customer-reviews feed (most recent first, 8 storefronts merged, up to 300 reviews). Star, month and version figures are plain counts of that sample. Theme and issue figures come from fixed keyword patterns (for example “subscription”, “charged”, “refund” for pricing) run on English-language 1–3★ reviews only; a keyword match is not a judgement of the review, so check the quotes. The paid report classifies every review with an AI model into 7 themes and 18 issues with severity. This is a snapshot of recent reviews, not the app's full history. Generated 24 October 2026.
