### 2/5 — Resolution

*2014-09-25, version 2.0.0*

It enables me to see my cameras from anywhere but it insists on reducing the resolution to the absolute minimum forcing everyone to see a poor picture, even on a fibre network connection. Please disable this.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2013-09-13, version 1.02.15*

Не хочет работать из облака...

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2013-08-04*

Every time I open the app while a camera is connected, the app crashes. If the camera is not connected, the app does not crash. And this on both iPhone and mini iPad

### 1/5 — Random

*2013-08-01*

Works every once in awhile. Using with a IC-3015Wn camera. 90% of the time the app displays a spinning icon then times out.  Both, on local network and via WAN. Needs an update to function better. Good start, now fix it!

Newest version:
Crashes about 5 secs after loading... Useless app!

### 1/5 — Bug-fix? Wohl eher das Gegenteil!

*2013-07-26, version 1.02.13*

Seit dem letzten Update geht nichts mehr. Die App. stürzt nach kurzer Zeit ab. Wer sich auf die App. für live Bilder verläßt, der ist verlassen. Schade. Keine gute Werbung für Edimax Kameras zur Fernüberwachung, gerade in der Ferienzeit....

### 1/5 — Latest update

*2013-07-23*

The latest update is having issues and crashing on iPad and iPhone.  .

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2013-07-22*

The update from 7/21 crashes on loading.
Can not use the app at all!

### 1/5 — Mr

*2013-03-19, version 1.02.11*

No good at all! The cloud setting keep losing the camera connection. And not support audio!

### 1/5 — Fail

*2013-01-23*

The remote viewer does not seem to work, I have no trouble on my LAN but can't make the cloud work just looks like it is loading but never hooks up, maybe needs older version of Java ?

### 2/5 — Ediview App does not utilises the cloud ID

*2012-09-22, version 1.02.09*

Many ISP now a days offer dynamic IP to their users on default, also majority users have router at home. edimax knows therefore bundles CLOUD ID system into their products, which is great. However the app, does not work the same way as the java app they built for PC/browsers. On the app, although it allow users to input CLOUD ID, the app then request camera IP from host/cloud, then uses the IP to connect.   Basically, if anyone is behind a router he or she cannot use cloud ID and connect through IP. 
Whoever uses Router AND has dynamic IP, do not bother with this poorly implemented app and company.
I would update review if the app gets fixed.
Overall experience 2stars.

### 1/5 — Used to work :(

*2012-07-27*

Installed camera in baby's room to give visual to check when the baby monitor was making noise. It's worked fairly well until I updated the app. Now all I get is time out and errors. Sort of defeats the purpose of having the camera if we cannot use it for our intended purpose.

### 2/5 — Buggy App!!! Needs fixes

*2012-06-19*

The app initially worked great but after some time just stopped working properly. Specially when you switch from potrait to landscape mode ( full screen ) it just keeps spinning and times out. EDI MAX. Please fix the issue. Spent $250 on the 2 cameras and expected a better software for the phone.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-02-12*

Biggest piece of crap on the market... will NOT work..will NOT install...outdated app - junk - DON’T PISS AWAY YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-09-02*

Freezes, only finds 1 of my 3 cameras now.
 Bring back the older version.
Absolutely horrible app

### 1/5 — App regularly crashes

*2019-03-21, version 2.0.4*

Started off as a good app but has gone down hill. Needs an update. 

Crashes when you try and save a picture. (Every time) 

Crashes when you try and change view. (Sometimes)

Regularly can’t find the camera.

### 1/5 — Waste of Time

*2016-10-23*

Doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2016-02-01*

Doesn't work

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2014-12-13*

Horrible. Stopped working. Won't update and can't delete. Used to work now just says "waiting"!

### 1/5 — No camera found

*2014-07-28, version 2.0.0*

It can't even find the camera. It's does say. Easy and simple to connect. But it wasn't

### 1/5 — Still poor

*2014-05-13, version 2.0.0*

What a let drown
It only occasionally connects to display video, not great for home security in my mind.
I have to constantly restart the app to have any chance of viewing the camera
Plenty of better options out there

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-04-17*

My 3110w supports 1280 resolution but this up streams only with 320x240.... There are no settings to change resolution and this app does not support audio either. Same on iphone and iphone. This app is a shame

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2013-10-20*

When adding camera, it asks for the access password but does not call up the keyboard to type it in. So I can't connect to the cameras.  Serious bug in this app.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2012-07-25*

Camera: IC3030Wn 

Works great! The frame rate stays true which I really like. There's no crazy delay in the software where a 5 second gap in reality vs camera happens. Good app. If you have edimax get it! I'm running dd-wrt on all of my routers with port forwarding and static ip setup. Works like a charm.

### 5/5 — Works ok with no issues

*2012-03-14, version 1.02.03*

Linked to ipcam with no issues and great images

### 4/5 — IC-7110W IP Camera

*2013-08-20*

I got this camera because it has an app, and the app works well. It's not super responsive to gestures, but it does work. I would have given it 5 stars if it had a feature for listening to the audio from the camera.

### 4/5 — Thanks Edimax

*2012-10-08, version 1.02.09*

working with my ic-1510wg when setup manually.

Still crashes from time to time.

### 4/5 — Edimax App & IP Camera

*2012-01-02*

The camera & app work as advertised. I have app on both my iPhone 4 & iPad 1 and it works on both. I will get more cameras to use in more locations.

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2017-01-06*

The app needs an update for iOS 10.

### 3/5 — Jan's

*2015-06-12, version 2.0.2*

This app doesn't have night vision cheers

### 3/5 — The need to improbe this app

*2013-04-14*

Nice app, but when you add a cam to the managed list, you cannot remove it. 
A really simple feature: cannot believe no one thought about it.
Nice feature working is the auto discovery on the local LAN: works way better than the PC version that discovers nothing.

### 3/5 — Not 100%

*2013-04-13, version 1.02.11*

Works ok on my 7010 ptz, but does not save/activate any setting changes to the camera.

### 3/5 — Good simple ip camera viewer

*2012-07-25, version 1.02.07*

It can be a little slow to respond  and often times out. This may be due to my home router and edimax cameras though. Since the latest update it seems to time out even quicker now which is a backward step in my opinion. It is more reliable though than some alternative ip camera viewers which have caused the cameras to crash.
