Both the wife and I have the app on our phones, so when one is using it the other is automatically logged out. When you log back in the port forwarding settings have cleared which requires them to be refreshed and then also updated on the router. That renders it pointless especially if we were both away from the home and hence wouldn't be able to log into the router and adjust the port. Is there a way to either ensure the app keeps the settings when logged off and on or to be able to manually enter the port on the app. The latter being the least favourite option as it still requires some messing about each time? Thanks in advance.

Yes... if using the SAME pw and email to log in you will bump each other off.

 

What you have to do is let ONE person be the primary account. The second person will open a new account with their own email/pw.  Then using GRANT ACCESS from the primary, allow the second account to log in.  No longer will you bump each other off and prob your setting will stay.

The secondary user will have 95% of control if all admin is given, so there is no real issue running the system from either account.
