Pls fix, or does this work only for pro version? ### 4/5 — Fantastic, but.. *2022-08-30, version 3.5.2* Please add a function to take videos automatically when motion is detected. If you add this into the app I will likely be a lifetime subscriber ### 4/5 — Glitches *2022-04-02, version 3.5.0* Cool idea just glitchy is all ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2022-02-26, version 3.4.4* Camera won’t stop glitching and trying to switch as if I was holding my phone side ways. ### 1/5 — why *2021-12-31, version 3.4.4* Why did I pay for a premium subscription, but I have a regular version with a bunch of bugs and ads? ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-12-08, version 3.4.4* Doesn’t work and never connects cameras. Don’t waste your time ### 2/5 — Not working. *2021-12-07, version 3.4.4* “Connecting to server please wait….” it’s stuck . ### 1/5 — Virtually no interface *2021-11-29, version 3.4.4* Probably one of the least intuitive apps I’ve seen. Thankfully there’s a 3 day trial. Used two phones, one the viewer (12 Pro Max) and the Camera an iPhone 8. Great it works but other than that it does very little. A way to automate motion detection would be a great idea, it even says this in the subscription window. But it doesn’t do that at all. It does in fact very little of anything. This stinks, find something else. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your feedback. The motion detector is available in a premium version. This is also stated in the description of the app. ### 1/5 — Worst monitor in the world *2021-09-04, version 3.4.4* Does not even work and it’s dumb ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-05-20, version 3.4.2* This app didn’t connect to server ### 4/5 — If it worked better *2021-05-14, version 3.4.2* If the app used to hire resolutions better that would be good. I’m having a hard time finding where are the pictures and videos are being kept, I see where they should be but I’m wondering if it takes a long time for it to come back from the cloud? Anyone else have these problems? Update 5.14.21 seems the photo clips and video are working with latest update. Much happier now. Hopefully this continues…ty Camy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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… ### 1/5 — Poor communication *2023-08-16, version 4.2.2* Rubbish app do not buy and then you write in technical Support the problem they email you for a week and ask you to contact them and tell Them the problem Through the app again very silly do not buy ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for this buggy mess *2023-07-10, version 4.1.5* This app has many bugs, you have to constantly force close the app so that it loads, you have to zoom out every time you open the app the cameras take the whole screen, you cannot choose a camera individually when you have multiple, there’s no account option so you can log in from other devices, feels like they duplicated the app from another developer and don’t know how to fix it not worth paying for it…… ### 1/5 — No worth it *2023-02-14, version 4.0.8* Don’t waste your time. What’s the point of having a camera if you can’t view the video ? I can’t go back to the camera every 5 mins to restart it. Get this fixed ASAP. You literally have one job. ### 1/5 — What can I do? *2022-08-22, version 3.5.2* It says Camy is locked and I can not use the app. Why? ### 1/5 — Hate it now ! *2022-01-19, version 3.4.4* Can’t seem to get the QR scanner to work . The app has to stay open on the camera phone in order to work. Back in 2020 you could remote in without needing the app open on the camera phone . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — ❤️✋🤚 *2024-07-22, version 4.3.4* Fantastic app!

Can you please get thaws back for me as I need them in court. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Caméra *2021-06-20, version 3.4.3* Je ne peux qu’être satisfait de la qualité de la caméra et des images que j’observe en direct de la maison, malgré que je possède déjà une mini caméra mais aucune comparaison avec la vôtre et merci ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-05-11, version 2.9.1* But why I can’t see nothing if my iPhone our the app but android is okay I don’t need too go too the app please fix this I pay whatever u want just I want when I want see my iPhone camera I can with out go in open the app ### 5/5 — Awesome awesome integration except subscription doesn’t give much info *2020-05-11, version 2.9.1* Nice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
