### 3/5 — Like parts, can’t figure out other parts

*2017-12-20, version 5.4.34*

I love the GPS feature, but I never get notifications of events when the other two apps are going off like crazy.  The email notification function doesn’t work, but maybe it does after you pay.  I can’t access my camera when I’m away to the degree of anything more than a pixelated blur. The other two apps I’m testing access immediately and provide crystal clear pictures.  I really wanted this app to be the one, but if it doesn’t work then my favorite feature is worthless.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2017-10-25, version 5.4.19*

Just updated and app will not load

### 3/5 — Only Foscam app you can use your iWatch

*2016-12-22, version 5.3*

Didn't find other way to ask for support for a Foscam FI9803P I can see it in the phone app but not in the iWatch. It's the only camera that interest me since is the one that is pointed at my front outside door.

### 4/5 — FJK

*2016-07-03*

Great App- Geolocation is fantastic for our swimming pool camera, some of the wording in-app needs updating, but love the functionality of the app and seem less integration with Apple Watch. IFTTT setup to work with Wink or HomeKit would be fantastic...

### 4/5 — Good

*2016-04-27, version 4.10.8*

The app is really good but it would be better if you're able to speak as well as listen in my Foscam camera I have an FI 9821W and FI9818W those will be nice you were able to talk like some other apps that you can. Also I can't here sound on any of my Foscam Cameras.
Update 04/27/16:
The new updates have improve this App my cameras connect faster and looks great. One minor thing is the auto detection it's still to sensitive to lights coming from Windows or doors, I get notifications even doe there is no one there.

### 4/5 — Very easy to install

*2013-07-27, version 1.1*

Very easy to install

### 1/5 — Does not work on Apple Watch

*2021-06-01*

Geolocation still not working. Apple Watch 6 can not show ANY video. All you will get is a black screen. Many delete/reinstalls does nothing. Pity

### 1/5 — Glynn Jones

*2019-05-05*

Can’t get anything from it, not at all intuitive and no help apparent?

### 1/5 — No longer loads cameras.

*2019-04-02, version 5.5.23*

It worked fine till a few months ago. It just hangs and never loads the cams. All other apps I tried work fine. I got suckered right not payed by fine this.

### 1/5 — You must purchase Pro mode to use, the “trial” is a lie.

*2019-01-31, version 5.5.23*

It says there is a trial, but it “ended” immediately after I added my cam and said I need the “pro” version to continue....really? A 1 second trial? That’s really sketchy and dishonest. I’ll go elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Can’t Logon

*2018-07-27, version 5.5.8*

Wanted this ap to access home camera on my Apple Watch. No matter what I do this ap says my login is invalid. Works fine with my Foscam ap, but not this. Tried looking for help on the Internet... keeps taking me to Facebook. I give up.

### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse before better!!

*2018-05-14, version 5.4.34*

App on Ipad Air has been crashing for the past 6 months instantly once opened and my iphone 8 plus is starting to do the same after a few seconds of trying to view some of my Foscam cameras. Not all the Foscam are compatible remotely for some reason only the older versions..I  purchased this app for support & non what so ever and the purchase price should be going to the app for future development and there is never improvement to it..save your money and just use the free version because you'll get the same product regardless!!

### 1/5 — Does not work on Apple Watch

*2017-03-27, version 5.3.6*

Does not work on Apple Watch.

### 1/5 — doesn't work with Apple Watch

*2016-06-23*

it works as the other 50 or so foscam apps in the App Store work on the iPhone ... but won't send video to the watch / so why bother with this app then

### 1/5 — Wont work

*2014-08-15, version 3.5*

Whenever i click on it it crashes

### 2/5 — I wanted to like this

*2018-07-22, version 5.4.50*

The fact that this has Apple Watch support is great. If only the app wasn’t unstable to the point of not being usable. Bonus: a convoluted UI only a mother could love.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-02-21, version 5.6*

Cool

### 5/5 — CamOn

*2018-09-18, version 5.5.10*

This is one of the good apps that just work. It is also easy to set up. You won't regret getting this app. Also with the new version you can control cameras at two locations.With the latest version you can now control your Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Better but not

*2017-10-25, version 5.4.19*

New update is working much better on iPhone (more reliable, faster) and now I can see both feeds ( from Foscam R2 and Foscam 19821W) on my Apple Watch!!! It’s perfect! Thank you!

### 5/5 — So far, the best app for foscam.

*2017-06-08, version 5.3.6*

I like this app a lot. It Loads the fastest of all the Foscam apps I've tried. And it's FREE! Good and free deserves 5 stars! I just wish it had a "speak" capability so I could speak to the person on camera. Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 stars. However, as indicated in the specifications, the full release is available for trial for two weeks. Then it commutes in limited version with full detection control only, ie without live video. An inApp purchase restores all features.

### 5/5 — Links to iWatch

*2017-02-05*

Excellent app, loads of options.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2017-01-31, version 5.3.3*

Liked that it works with Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Excellent wifi camera security app

*2017-01-20, version 5.3*

Stable and full of useful features.

### 5/5 — I would've paid five times what I paid for this

*2016-10-15, version 4.10.10*

I am currently responsible for my dementia stricken grandfather who happens to wander in the middle of the night... this application lets me sleep and I rely on it to wake me up with the alarm when he gets out of bed....it is a lifesaver.

### 5/5 — If you own Foscam cameras... Get it!

*2016-04-28, version 4.10.8*

This app is absolutely amazing, and works Great, even with HD cams. You can do everything the app says you can do. Setup is a breeze... If your cameras are on your phone already, with other software, this app is very friendly to set up. You can view your cameras from your phone or Apple Watch... Cost $4.98 but well worth it. I give it 5 stars, and sure you will to!

### 4/5 — Dos am

*2016-08-16*

Goo a bit complex for me that's only downer but great app
