I use my laptop more than my ipad and wishes it was the ipad that does the recording. ### 2/5 — Not worth it. *2013-05-02, version 3.0* It worked but you can't turn it off when it's in Hidden Mode. The iSight stays on with the green light indicator. Not so hidden if the green light is on. Had to restart the computer just to delete the Hidden Mode. I do not recommend. ### 4/5 — It works on my iPhone 4S *2012-11-12, version 2.5* It works good for me. It took a few minutes to get it working, had to read the instructions again. I only gave it 4 stars because I'm still having trouble getting the audio working. Other than that it does what it's suppose to ### 2/5 — Not worth paying for *2012-06-28, version 2.4* It's free only if you use it within your network. You must pay for more features. Another free upfront scam. ### 4/5 — Nice software *2012-03-20, version 2.4* Very nice just a shame about the 1-2 second lag as I wanted to use it in my van to run a reversing camera ### 1/5 — Just wasted an hour trying to install the Windows software *2012-03-18, version 2.4* The installation routine says install K Lite codecs but redirects to a dead link. Then says install Bonjour print services? Really? Installed everything according to instructions and got nothing but a blank app window that I had to kill with Task Manager because it froze every time it was launched. Glad everyone else seems to be having luck with it but for me it was nothing but a waste of time. ### 2/5 — WORKS FOR 5 MINS OR SO *2012-03-14, version 2.4* This app works at first then connection is lost with no way of restarting without accessing the host computer MANUALLY!!!! This defeats the object of wifi accessed application. Would be a great app if the connection didn't drop EVERY TIME without fail. Once you go back to your comp and start the program again you get another 5-10 mins. I,ve consulted the help on companies website and there is no mention of how to solve this problem. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2012-03-06, version 2.4* - Additional software downloads required (on top of source software) - pushy advertising in download process - initial software install failed - couldn't get audio on 2nd install - had bought competitor's app (and had it working as a baby monitor in under 5min) by the time support contacted me ### 4/5 — Great App, Great Support *2012-03-02, version 2.4* I got this app to use as a video baby monitor. I had some issues with the connection initially and after some great support by the support team, the problem turned out to be with my router. Thanks for the quick response and turnaround guys. (4.5/5.0 star for Ray@Support) As far as the App goes, sometimes the picture is a little grainy and audio seems to get stuck, but overall as a free app, it works well for monitoring my kids from the iPad/Mac/Windows configuration I have. ### 1/5 — Y atme *2012-01-26, version 2.3* CRAP ### 4/5 — Not bad at all *2012-01-14, version 2.3* I needed something to use as a baby monitor as mine bit the dust and so far this app works really well. Easy to download and install. Not a permanent solution but it is perfect for the short term. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-02-15, version 3.8* I paid money to get every chance of making this work. IT DOES NOT WORK. I tried to give 0 stars but it makes me leave at least one star. Simply does not work. No tech support. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2015-03-26, version 3.4.1* Worked well for a little while but then stopped. Just enough to show the vulnerabilities of the application. ### 1/5 — No no no *2014-04-20, version 3.4* Spent 3 hours on set up, to hard to get working costs to much. Pass. ### 1/5 — Never worked!! *2013-11-11, version 3.3* No matter what I tried, I could not get this program to connect… I saw the video feed on my computer. I saw the connection option on my phone. However, it never let me actually connect the two, thus making the monitor aspect of this program completely useless. ### 1/5 — Mac Users Beware *2013-08-27, version 3.1* I used this just for fun, which turned into a big ordeal trying to figure out how to turn the camera off when I'm not actually using the app, finally had to get online to find out how to uninstall the program. The devs are really sneaky, by not fully telling you how it works ### 1/5 — what crap *2013-02-10, version 2.5* This app is free but you can't use it until the FULL version is downloaded.....my title still stands! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-10-14, version 2.4* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me! *2012-08-08, version 2.4* It doesn't work for me! I give this rating because it doesn't do anything!! ### 1/5 — PC download contains viruses *2012-05-13, version 2.4* This is probably a scam. It doesn't work AND I am still cleaning the adware and viruses on my computer from the download! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2012-04-20, version 2.4* Followed all procedures. Aircam windows program freezes upon launch. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is Great! *2020-04-09, version 3.11* I love this!! I use it to monitor my bedroom while I’m in another part of the house. Thank You! ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2014-09-02, version 3.4.1* Exactly what i wanted. Really perfect! ### 5/5 — Best one around *2012-10-04, version 2.4* Good job but please lower the price of the full version ### 5/5 — Works great!! iOS 5.1.1 4S Absinthe 2.1.1 *2012-08-21, version 2.4* If your phone or pod freezes turn off Bluetooth like the introductions say. Bonjour only pops up when actually pairing and linking devices. If you're not on a wifi: get you brkas a job and get some wifi! ### 5/5 — J'adore *2012-06-14, version 2.4* Facile à configurer, il accepte ma vieille caméra JVC, fonctionne à merveille et j'ai seulement la version lite. Je suis enchantée !! Merci beaucoup Air Cam. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2012-05-15, version 2.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Great Simple Security Cam! *2012-03-01, version 2.4* I'm running my webcam on windows (w/ their free software) & view it around the house as well as where I have wifi on my iTouch. No problems for me, don't see why others are having them unless they just didn't follow the instructions... If you can set up your home network/wifi, then you can use this app. ### 5/5 — GREAT & extremely useful *2011-12-17, version 2.3* Not sure why so many folks don't like this app. Works great for me! Very stable. Free as they say over local area network. Have the app on my MacBook, my iPhone, and my iPad. Use it to watch the pressure gauge on my canner while processing foods. That way I know if I need to go to the kitchen and adjust the burner. Allows me to relax & watch TV at night instead of staying in the kitchen for long processing times such as meats. I have an iPhone 4s and a first generation iPad. ### 5/5 — Air Cam Live (lite) *2011-10-22, version 2.3* Does exactly as stated. Able to watch live feed from my Mac's camera on my iPad via wifi. About a 1-2 sec delay. Follow the instructions provided. ### 5/5 — The Free Version Works good (FOR FREE!) *2011-07-12, version 2.1* I was reading some of the reviews, and I dont understand why people say that you have to pay to use it. The free version works just fine for me on my "local" network. I think you have to purchase the full version to use on "external networks" like when you leave the house. But for the price,the results are more than expected and awesome! I have my laptop setup right now as an impromptu babycam. Yes there is a lag, but its not a big deal, i'm not trying to have a conversation with anyone. The picture is color, and the audio works. This product makes me love my iphone and my mac even more! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
