Bad move Foscam

Foscam has changed for the worst, same opinion about this app. It was great app, now they are forcing us to to provide emails and sign up in order to use their cloud, don’t trust any cloud system how do I know that I am not losing my privacy. Everything are in those little and small letter. If I just wanted to have access to my cameras, no other option than trash these ones and get other brands.

Foscam is disappointing.

For years, this has been the only genuine Foscam app which allows you to view four cameras at once on your iPhone or iPad. One of its biggest advantages is its ability to use P2P technology to connect to your cameras. With P2P, you're not required to do all the technical work of setting up your cameras and your router to do port-forwarding. It's been a very useful app, even though Foscam has decided to stop supporting it or updating it. For remote viewing, this app continues to fit my needs however, it could desperately use some maintenance and bug fixes. The new app Foscam came out with to replace this one is total garbage, and simply useless. Their new app can only view one camera at a time and it's painfully slow & unreliable. My Foscam equipment is totally useless without this app functioning properly. I'm not sure why Foscam decided to abandon this app. In conclusion, Foscam is not a reliable, professional security solution, as indicated by their abandonment of this app. I would recommend against purchasing any of their products to anyone considering it. Low quality equipment and poor customer service is all Foscam has to offer. I really wish they would reconsider their decision to abandon this app. With a few upgrades and bug fixes, this would easily be a 5 star app.

Can't view camera in landscape mode on iPad!

Called Foscam support as I lost viewing camera I landscape mode on my iPad. Support rep stated this was a recent feature? Who in their right mind would ask to have your camera view locked in portrait mode and be reduced to 1/3 of the viewable screen. They say they haven't had any other complaints! Guess the don't count the reviews on this app. Very disappointed the developers took away landscape viewing in iPads. Please complain!

Needs work but connects great

Interface Needs a lot of work. However in terms of connecting outside network with foscam it works great.

Horrible

Horrible design, very unintuitive. Hard to get working too. Makes me hate foscam....

Pure Unadulterated GARBAGE

Don't waste your time with this app or any other garbage foscam product. They have no clue as to what they are doing. Their tech support is beyond incompetent too.

Disappointing - let's hope it gets better with updates

I was excited to see an app from the manufacturer but what a let down. It is designed overall ok and looks good but it is not that well done and it is not obvious how to set it up with all the right details for even a fairly experienced person. I got it working eventually however.

It is not possible to switch on or off the night vision on this app. And the video recording only appears to support video recording on some cameras. it does not also allow you to change other nice settings such as the alerts for motion and sound alerts. This would have been nice.

Lastly the overall app appears to stop working at if times and you have to connect to each camera each time you start the app?

Absolute rubbish

Does not support many Foscam cameras I have HD ones that are a year or two old.

Foscam are pushing you to use their new app with iCloud but that crashes all the time.

A real shambles that is not taken seriously at all by Foscam

Shame as I love their cameras

useful

able to connect but still seeing foscam logo but no live feed... MUST UPDATE NOW!!! 👿

Awful

Gets stuck often. Confusing user interface. Requires an account with the Foscam company. Screen gets garbled if phone is rotated between landscape and portrait or vice versa.
