### 2/5 — O aplicativo abre e fecha sozinho

*2023-01-17*

As câmeras conectam mas em 5 segundos o aplicativo fecha sozinho.

### 4/5 — Android Version

*2020-09-21, version 3.911*

I wish that they will make an Android version of this app. It’s the only app that worked great with my old cameras.

### 4/5 — Many features, good app

*2020-07-22, version 3.911*

This Foscam app is the better app out of all the other available apps for Foscam cameras. It has a lot of features that other apps do not have. Full control over your cameras picture settings and viewing experience. Also pretty reliable for remote connection to cameras which is something most people would value a lot in a camera app. The only issue I’ve encountered is for some reason on my iPad Pro, 2016 model, with latest iOS, the app crashes after 10 secs of use. Sometimes even quicker. And sometimes it would go 2,3-5 minutes before crashing. My friend has the latest IPad Pro, 2019 model, and he has exact same issue as well. I have an iPad mini 3 and an older iPhone, running iOS 10.3.3 and the app is rock solid on both devices, never crashes. Not such an issue for me as I use my other devices for viewing, but take note, if you have just one or two devices running latest iOS, you may get a bit frustrated with this app always crashing.

### 3/5 — Works but very buggy and slow

*2019-09-17, version 3.911*

Hasn’t been updated in 3 years

### 1/5 — No Longer Supported

*2019-08-10, version 3.911*

Cameras have come along way in three years while this app has gone nowhere. Too bad, because this used to be a great app. Now it's useless.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with iPhone XS

*2019-08-06, version 3.911*

I have had this app for years and it has worked great! I can still see and hear everything but it won’t let my camera access it. It just doesn’t give me the option. I can access through my iPad. But if I wanted to record on my phone I wouldn’t be able to.

### 2/5 — WASTED MY MONEY

*2019-08-01, version 3.911*

I have 4 Foscam IP cameras, & had a free app that allowed recording, but then it became obsolete.  All of the features on this app work fine, & the viewing is good, but it never sent a request to my phone for permission to access the microphone & camera.  Following the instructions, I went into my phone privacy settings only to find Foscam Pro wasn’t there because it had never sent the request.  Deleting the app, reinstalling, setting up the cameras again, & going through this whole process countless times, I finally emailed customer support.  I never heard back from them!  So, I have bought another that works just fine.

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2019-06-14, version 3.911*

Used to be good but won’t work with new foscams like the new 1080p foscams

The developer can’t be bothered to support the latest models

### 1/5 — HD Cameras not work anymore

*2019-06-13*

HD Cameras not work anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-06-12, version 3.911*

Purchased this app years ago and always worked flawlessly until a couple of months ago when it quit.  Nothing now but “ Unknown Error “ message.  Have contacted technical support several times explaining the issues without any response. I have been using a different app that works fine with all my cameras and I am using exactly the same settings with both apps. Wouldn’t buy an app that doesn’t work and without any help to fix it!

### 2/5 — Photo access.

*2019-06-03, version 3.911*

App is asking for photo access every time it’s opened. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2019-05-30, version 3.911*

Doesn’t work on 12.3, it worked on my 12.

### 4/5 — Best Foscam app for years but no longer

*2019-05-26, version 3.911*

I have used this app for years even through the past few years of regular crashing (pretty much once a day). I keep hoping it will be updated (last update in 2016) hoping that will fix the issues.

Developer, please consider an update.

### 1/5 — Atualizem

*2019-04-30*

Não sei o que aconteceu, mas parou de funcionar o Microfone e bater fotos ou fazer vídeos.

### 1/5 — Didn’t open!

*2026-01-13, version 3.911*

Waste of time and money. Couldn’t even open it and the support is nonexistent. The synaptic edge support doesn’t open!

### 1/5 — Stopped working.

*2024-04-27, version 3.911*

The app needs updated. It shuts down as soon as I launch it on iPhone 12 mini. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Still doesn’t work. Wasted money.

### 1/5 — No longer works on latest iPhone software

*2024-04-09, version 3.911*

Did work but no longer after update to latest iPhone software (iOS 17)

### 1/5 — Total garbage

*2023-09-07, version 3.911*

Does not connect to any of the cameras. Zero customer service. Save your money and buy something else.

### 1/5 — Não tem atualização

*2023-07-03*

Ó App abre e fecha sem conseguir colocar todos os dados.
Não se consegue ver a câmera fora de casa, somente quando está na residência.
O interessante é abrir a câmera em lugares fora de casa!

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2021-03-06, version 3.911*

Doesn’t seem to be supported anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-09-01, version 3.911*

Maybe doesn’t work isn’t fully correct, it works for my wife, but not for me. Same exact settings. Emailed support but they never responded. I say if you’re going to spend money on cameras invest in ones that you can actually use, these Foscam’s have absolutely no value to me.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2020-06-12, version 3.911*

Software Worked for 6 years then suddenly stopped

### 1/5 — IOS 13

*2019-09-27*

Com a atualização do iPhone para o ios 13, o App praticamente parou de funcionar, trava toda hora! Quando acontecer uma atualização do App FoscamPro para encerrar os erros??

### 1/5 — No longer able to record video/photo

*2019-08-20, version 3.911*

This used to be a very effective app for recording content but since using on new devices since iOS 12.xx it is not possible to grant permission to access camera roll. No replies to support and the app has not been updated for 3 years. Don’t part with your money until this is fixed.

### 5/5 — Still works in 2024.

*2024-04-24, version 3.911*

Most excellent program I’ve got for watching my Foscams.

### 5/5 — Fast and simple

*2020-07-08, version 3.911*

Straight forward, fast and simple. That’s all I need. Keep up the good job!

### 5/5 — Gone to the dogs

*2020-06-29, version 3.911*

We use our Foscams to monitor the dogs in our kennel area (we train service dogs). This app makes it easy for us to check on them at all times...as long as our terrible Frontier Communications Internet is actually working.

### 5/5 — Thanks for the best surveillance app

*2020-06-04, version 3.911*

I had some problems when I got the Foscam 9821, my second camera. I was really pleased to see the improvements after you updated your app. I thought it was the camera causing the problems. I was even thinking of getting another older model. Nothing was working right. Now, everything is perfect again. This was truly a pleasant surprise. What a difference good software makes. Thanks for continuing to make your product the best. 6/3/20 thank you whoever is responsible for putting this app back in the App Store. After I got a new iPad, I couldn’t download this even after contacting Apple support. I knew it worked with the current iOS. I tried unsuccessfully to get it back, but it wouldn’t let me. I love this useful app and use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-08-12, version 3.911*

100% satisfaction.

### 5/5 — The best

*2019-05-05, version 3.911*

I’ve tried many foscam apps even the manufacturers app is useless but this is something else

Carrying on the good work 
Now what about a refund for this stunning review 😂😂😂😂😂

### 5/5 — Works great with my 4 Foscams

*2018-10-04, version 3.911*

This is the best app I have ever used. It works flawlessly and is easy to setup.

### 5/5 — Foscam app user friendly

*2018-09-01, version 3.911*

Easy to configure and use, seems very stable with no problems

### 5/5 — Excellent IP Camera App
