### 3/5 — ICam Review

*2016-10-22*

Ok so I personally love the app and I have it on my laptop, iPad and phone so if I love the app so much, why the three stars? So here is the issue I'm having specifically with the iPad app. It records and you can view it from other devices but... You can't view your recordings (specifically the iPad app one). If you try to click on the app to view what was recorded, it shuts down and kicks you out of the app so all you can do with it is watch live movements but cannot review recordings. If it wasn't for this issue it will get a 5 star from me.

### 2/5 — Very poor

*2016-05-03*

Unreliable

### 2/5 — Ok

*2016-04-12*

Good when it works but if u r having tech difficulties the jargon will leave you totally  bemused .

### 1/5 — Extremely difficult

*2015-05-06*

I give up. I have literally tried all the tricks I know. So many variables must be satisfied that any one of which can block success. Example, IOS ver, iPhone version, router variables, PCs on and on. Help file will say, "there are only two things causing".. But, each of those causes are caused for multiple reasons. I chased my tail and I just give up. I lost my money on this one.

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2014-10-19*

This app works great for me. I currently have 2 iPhone 4's as cameras set up. The reason it only gets 4 stars out of 5 is that if the phone you monitor with leaves a wifi connection, it's hard to check in without continually refreshing. I was originally stymied because I was worried my screen would burn out, but once the app is running, you can touch the screen causing it to go black and the app will still be running.

### 2/5 — Screen has to stay on

*2014-09-07*

This works and is easy to set up and use, but the screen of the source has to stay on to work. I would like to be able to set it up and hit the lock button and have the program still running. That way I don't burn out my screen

### 4/5 — It works

*2014-06-28*

It works perfectly for me, I was able to use it for my iPhone 4S

### 4/5 — Works.

*2014-05-29*

Once you learn how to use this app, this app is great!

### 1/5 — Where o where...

*2014-04-26*

Do you enter an IP address? Not what I thought it was and you need too purchase another app to view.

### 1/5 — Ungenau beschrieben, in dieser Form für mich unbrauchbar

*2014-02-28*

In der App-Beschreibung steht nicht, dass das Bild zwingend zunächst über einen Server in Was-weiss-ich-wo läuft. Damit ist das hier auch nicht besser als Skype, nur die Verzögerungen  sind deutlich größer. Ich hätte ein System benötigt, dass die gleiche Funktion P2P im lokalen Netz (WLan) bietet.

### 1/5 — No trabaja en reposo o segundo plano

*2014-02-14, version 1.0*

Debería seguir funcionando al apagar la pantalla de equipo o al salir de la aplicación.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-03-30*

Stop giving these people your money. Doesn't work, and support doesn't respond.

### 1/5 — Stay away.

*2020-04-21*

It doesn't work as described.

### 1/5 — Need support, not working!

*2018-10-14*

I purchased the bundle, not working. I’ve emailed support and need support!  No replies. There’s no support contact number. Please email me a number to call!  Once this is up and working I will re-rate.  Thank you.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2017-12-31*

I purchased but could never get it to work. Getting the right url was impossible for winbook camera and finally gave up. Paid 4.99 and haven’t received a refund (probably won’t).

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-10-03*

Connecting …

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2017-02-28*

Doesn't work. Says no sources found no matter what you do.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2017-01-13, version 1.1*

This app does not work as advertised, I just got ripped off.

### 1/5 — In app purchases for data to use

*2016-02-10*

Did not work for me, might be a firewall issue. However, the one star rating came from the need to purchase Mb's to make operational.

### 1/5 — Can't even get started...

*2015-11-18*

Not off to a good start. Actually, not off to a start at all. I'm in IT so I'm pretty good at this stuff. This includes my ability to read instructions and follow troubleshooting steps. At the moment I feel like I've been ripped off. 
Support team - If you'd like to help look for email "I'm trying to use icam for the first time but no luck."

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2015-09-28*

A shame, since the desktop version seems to work fine.  This is an utter waste of money.

### 5/5 — Cam Surv

*2020-07-10*

I’m very please with iCam, it’s the best for the price, better than the expensive ones 

Balindgjo.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2016-12-13*

Together with its partner iCam, this provides amazing value for money. You get a fully function CCTV surveillance system (well, judged on amateur or home user standards. Yes, there are some tech chicanes to steer round until you get the full hang of it, but tech support is excellent with rapid response. I have even got my old iPhone 3GS set up as an extra camera. The motion detection alert system works very well - so you don't even have to have iCam running on your receiving device (e.g. iPhone) to know something is going on. Just one criticism - there doesn't seem to be a version of iCam as an app for Mac. There's supposed to be a web browser interface but so far I haven't got this to work. It may be me - I haven't really worked at this.

### 5/5 — I - CAM

*2015-12-02*

I've had these extra eyes 
Going on 6 years, I've seen things people shouldn't see but I keep watching and seeing these things and I'm not going to stop now. Put you a pair or two up you might see what wasn't meant to be seen by you. 
Maybe I saw you and, don't worry I won't tell anyone that you know 
Don't get caught pal.
Take care Friendo,you never know who is watching you 👁

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2015-11-02*

My husband and I use this app daily to monitor our dog who is going through separation anxiety training.  It's a had process but having iCam gives us piece of mind. It's pretty reliable and the only time we experience drop outs is when the our service switches from wifi to LTE.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2014-11-27*

I live with shady family members, now i can leave my room knowing i got an eye in the sky looking over it for me. I just use my ipod touch for a camera and my iphone to monitor. Just needs a better way to view motion alerts w/o having the camera running at the same time. But i highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Effective little system for low cost

*2014-04-30*

ICamSource and iCam together make a fantastic little surveillance system. Motion sensing is accurate and events are pushed to you

### 5/5 — 実用的

*2014-01-23*

類似のアプリがあるがインターバルになっており、不満だったが、これはリアルタイムなのが良い。撮影用iPhoneを複数台使えるからアプリの価値がある。

### 4/5 — Worth the

*2017-02-16*

This is  a  very good app i been using for about 15 years

### 4/5 — R. Lackie

*2016-08-29*

Works good

### 4/5 — Works great

*2016-03-20*

Works like it's supposed too.
