### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-06-12, version 5.3.1*

Ive tried to sign up for the trial period but instead it keeps trying to charge me. The “camera “ keeps turning off once phone isn’t being used.

### 1/5 — Ужасное приложение

*2026-05-08, version 5.3.1*

Скачала приложение, чтобы следить за котом тк должны были уехать с ночевкой. Настроила все на планшете установила так чтобы было видно лоток, корм и водичку. Пока была дома все работало раз 10 проверила. Как только уехала перестало работать. Все. Я не могу узнать как там мой кот. Планшет был подключен к зарядке и зарядки было около 46%

### 1/5 — Ads keep popping!

*2025-10-18, version 5.2.5*

Would not recommend using this app for your old phone . Cause ads pop up when it streams or you put it in sleep mode!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-03, version 5.2.4*

So surprised it worked, no subscription or equipment required, had it running constantly for a week to check if my plants were being fed correctly while I was on holiday

### 5/5 — This the one app

*2025-03-24, version 5.0.6*

This app really helped a lot thank u guys

### 2/5 — Glitched

*2024-12-22, version 5.0.6*

So I kept trying to connect my phone to my laptop so I can see my phone cam on my laptop but it wouldn’t work

### 1/5 — Crappy App

*2024-09-03, version 4.3.4*

Just flushed $7.99 down the toilet. The app didn’t work on my iPhone. Buyer beware: try the free version before wasting money on the dysfunctional app.

### 5/5 — ❤️✋🤚

*2024-07-22, version 4.3.4*

Fantastic app! Much obliged! I wish I could give 10 stars - 5 for being such a useful app and the other 5 for y’all’s response to the 1 star rating idiots 😂😂😂

### 2/5 — Cant use with a different network

*2024-06-22, version 4.3.4*

I loved the app its so simple and user friendly, sadly i just noticed that i can’t monitor the cam if I'm on a different network, camera is on with the home wifi, and I'm monitoring through a data network. Pls fix, or does this work only for pro version?

### 1/5 — Good app, not worth $24 a *month*

*2023-12-11, version 4.3.3*

The app works well. The phone was really hot though.  

I was curious about the cost and it shows $24 a month.  A month!  

I had to look twice to make sure I read it right.  

That’s nearly $300 a year…
