Bro, bad stories abt Apex in your post happened in 2010 & 2012. Apex has updated their firmware time to time. Thus so far with the latest firmware, there is no issue which I'm using it. I'm using Apex for almost 1 year and never encounter the issue. It's good and easy to use device.
Just my 2 cents worth to share.
