### 4/5 — Best of its kind

*2023-02-24, version 2.9*

Easy to setup and use when you are traveling with your pets and children.

### 4/5 — Pretty good - consider nighttime users

*2022-10-30, version 2.8*

Many of the UO elements are white (e.g.  the 4 buttons at the bottom of the camera view).

I have a hamster and we use red light since it disturbs their day/night cycle minimally. This can result in dark views that require me to turn up the brightness on my phone to max. But the white UI elements then become absolutely blinding when I’m in an otherwise dark room (namely, my bedroom).

I actually love your app and the multi cam support. I just have these few suggestions.

1) support dark mode fully or at least reduce white UI elements
2) make the list of cameras view live so we can see which camera we should use since it takes so long for a camera to load 
3) brightness control on the camera view screen so we do t have to go to control center so much

### 4/5 — Haven’t had a chance to try it yet

*2022-05-25, version 2.6*

Very convenient. Could be better if you could turn off or black out the screen.

### 5/5 — Simple set up and use.

*2022-04-05, version 2.6*

I set this up and had it running in no time. Pretty impressed.

### 5/5 — Great surveillance camera app

*2022-03-20, version 2.6*

I use my iPad as the camera to watch my dogs while I’m at work from my phone. I love this app, very user friendly. It lets me know when motion or sound is detected.

### 4/5 — New

*2022-03-20, version 2.6*

I want to use this as a monitoring device for my newborn and I haven’t yet finished setting everything up but it looks good so far.

### 5/5 — Perfect for watching pets

*2022-03-13, version 2.5*

I have used this to watch my dog while I was at work after she was spayed, and now I use it to watch my chicks! Great app!

### 5/5 — This is so awesome!!!

*2022-03-02, version 2.5*

Perfect for me being the owner of only iPhones.  I only had to get out an older one I wasn’t using anymore and connect it to the Wi-Fi. It then became the “camera” iPhone. My current and up to date newest iPhone that I regularly use and take with me everywhere then became the “monitor” iPhone.  And you can switch them back and forth. If you want.  There’s a sound option and you can hear them and they can’t hear you if that’s how you want it.  I love this app!   Just download this same awesome app onto 2 iPhones and the rest is really user friendly. And self explanatory.  Thanks guys!

### 4/5 — Well uhm

*2022-02-20, version 2.4*

If I wanted to monitor myself sure, but this made it look like I could monitor my security cameras. I don’t think so, and I hate downloading apps that aren’t what they look like BUT the picture quality on my phone from your app is great! If again, I want to monitor myself 😏

### 5/5 — Wrong app

*2022-01-16, version 2.4*

I got the app and the quarterly pro version only to find out that it’s just for using the iPhone as a camera or viewer to record. Not what I thought it was and didn’t need to waste that money. If that’s all you need it for I guess it’s good.

### 5/5 — Not what I expected

*2022-01-04, version 2.4*

I would like to see other people’s camera.

### 5/5 — Works great with my old 7+ as the camera

*2022-01-02, version 2.4*

Works exactly as described

### 4/5 — Easy and does the job

*2021-11-25, version 2.4*

Very easy, no useless nonsense or annoying ads either. Does what it says and has good clear video even on the free version. Very glad I found this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-10-23, version 2.4*

Love it so so amazing and everything free just have to have two devices are use my iPad and my phone and it amazing totally free and I can use it for my older rabbit to see him from anywhere and tell him not to do something or just talk to him

**Developer response:** Hi there, Awesome ! 👍💯 Nice to hear that you liked the app and the experience was good. We try and incorporate all possible features suggested by our users. Please write to us with your suggestions and feedbacks to support@iheartcam.com

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2021-09-13, version 2.4*

It does everything it says it would. I recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome (so far)

*2021-09-04, version 2.4*

Just got it. I wanted a quick extra iPhone security camera to see if the landlord or handyman was entering w/o my knowledge. it's free with basic. Easy to install and easy controls. Thank you!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Works great for free trial

*2021-10-30, version 2.4*

They sucker you in during the free trial. It will work great during that period. After that and when they start charging you, it no longer works…like at all!!! 

I am very thankful I did the month to month subscription and that I didn’t agree to a year subscription.

If you’re reading this, please be wary! It worked perfectly during the free trial but did not work at all after that.

**Developer response:** Dear User, thank you for your review. We always strive to be better and improve the app so any feedback - negative and positive - is always welcome and very appreciated. We never received such complain from our users. Is it possible for you to let us know what email address or phone number used while purchasing the subscription? Feel free to contact us at support@iheartcam.com for any further feedback or doubt.

### 1/5 — Stop asking me every 5 minutes if I’m happy

*2021-08-21, version 2.4*

You’re annoying me like an insecure boyfriend 🙄 If you keep asking, I’m gonna realize exactly HOW unhappy I actually AM. That’s number one…Number two is, I realized ten seconds after I downloaded this app that I’d have to pay to add my camera. I don’t mind that in the least bit. Your prices are very reasonable in my opinion. But I’ve paid. NOW LET ME ADD MY CAMERA!!! I didn’t ask you for a 3 day free trial, you gave that to me. Thank you, that’s kind BUT I’m not at all interested in using this app as a monitoring device for my phone or iPad. I have a camera that I’d like to hook up to it…LET ME HOOK IT UP NOW! TODAY PLEASE???

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2021-07-19, version 2.4*

So without paying this app is only good for live streaming or viewing from another device. I cannot set the camera to record at all unless I want to pay for it. I’m so unbelievably tired of having to pay for everything just so it’s nots worthless. I can’t c how the app needs my money to function considering I’m using my own device, my data or my WiFi, my storage account and whatever else of mine as well so what exactly is it that I would b paying for?

**Developer response:** Dear User, thank you for your review. We always strive to be better and improve the app so any feedback - negative and positive - is always welcome and very appreciated. Still, we are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your experience on our app. Our team of talented developers is continually working to maintain and make the app even better. We need to feed them too. Also, we need to pay to our server guys to keep the app up and working for our users. We believe the app is a pretty great tool to secure your family and we really encourage you to check it out by signing up for our free trial. That way you'll have some time to experience the full potential of the app before committing to pay for the subscription. In case the app does not meet your expectations you can easily cancel it by following these instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have further feedback or questions, simply send us an email to support@iheartcam.com and we'll get back to you in no time.

### 1/5 — Never works when I need it to

*2019-11-12, version 1.5*

I’ve tried four devices and can never get it to actually grab the video. It worked 3 months ago when it was free but now that I pay for it, it doesn’t work again. And there is no support for trying to fix the problem.

### 1/5 — Can use old phones

*2019-06-16, version 1.3*

If you say we can use old phones why do we have to have iOS 10.0 for higher?  This does not run on the old phones that is why we had to upgrade.  The you implied that one device pair was free but now I find it is only free for three days then you have to buy a subscription.  All of this is hype to get people to be sucked into your application and then find just how crippled it actually is.

### 2/5 — App not functioning

*2022-06-09, version 2.6*

I paid for a subscription and haven’t had any issues for the past year until this week. The app will not work at all. I’ve tried on multiple devices. I have contacted support twice and have not yet received a response. It’s very disappointing because I had been a happy customer. Now I’m paying for something I can’t use.

**Developer response:** Dear User, thank you for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have fixed the issue and now the app is working smoothly again as it was. If you have any suggestions then please feel free to contact us at support@iheartcam.com

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2021-03-03, version 2.3*

I like it very nice! What I don’t like however is that it switches on and offline so much! If something were happening I would want to see it as soon as I pull the video up not wait around for it to connect. I had full service so I know it’s not because of that..

### 3/5 — Easy to setup

*2023-09-24*

It’s nice to be able to use my iPhone 6 as something more than a paperweight. This was easy to setup and get going. The only issue I have is the camera constantly going offline and needing to be reset. It becomes useless. No big deal unless I’m away from home and can’t use the camera…which is the point of the whole thing.

**Developer response:** Our app is intended for repurposing old phones as security cameras for real-time monitoring. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the camera going offline. Could you please provide more details so we can assist you better? Feel free to contact us at iheartcamappp@gmail.com.

### 3/5 — Feedback

*2022-04-15, version 2.6*

Annoying request for feedback over and over

### 3/5 — Was 4- 5 star app, after today its 3, fixed ill update review

*2021-04-28, version 2.3*

I like the app worked great but today both my iphones being used as cameras wouldnt log into app. Opened app and it shuts right down with error messages ill see if i can get the error message i forgot to screenshot the message. I tried deleting app off phones then redownloading i tried changing password and wouldnt work spent 30-40 minutes trying get to work as i had to leave and was late for where i was going. App is good if i can just get it working again

### 5/5 — Happy Happy Happy

*2023-08-14*

I’m overall happy with the app. It’s my first day using it and it’s very nice I’m able to use my iPad as the camera and go on my phone to see what’s happening very useful since it’s free compared to a security system or baby monitor which can be pricey. Since I do a small day care it’s a lot more convenient than having to make sure I don’t lose my monitor, the subscription price isn’t bad either I was actually surprised how cheap it was definitely worth getting it to use even without the subscription

### 5/5 — Works for our needs

*2023-08-06*

We needed something to monitor our dog when we leave the house and this did the trick! I love that I can check in anytime and make sure he want cause any issues.

### 5/5 — Such confidence!

*2023-02-09, version 2.8*

I love this app! Live action of our two dogs in our motorhome. We can run out to dinner, or to the pool, and know that they are safe and happy. (I also have a temperature monitor with another app that confirms that they are in a safe environment.) I love the freedom this gives me.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-02-09, version 2.8*

I love it!  Helps keep an eye on my 4 year old, keeps him safe and out of trouble

### 5/5 — It does what it says and it’s Great App

*2022-12-16, version 2.8*

I normally don’t write reviews, but this app deserves one As it is amazing app! I’ve went threw so many apps for using my old Andriod phone as Camara and paring that with my iPhone as Monitor app, this app did that exactly how I wanted. 😍 The Zoom feature on Monitor 📺 side helps me to see what my dog 🐶🐶🐶 is doing while I am at work. I wish the developers could add ability to set time when to receive notifications for each day, hope to see this feature in new updates.

**Developer response:** Dear reku631, it makes us beyond proud and happy to know that you like our app. You gave a really nice suggestion :) We have added that in our roadmap and we will update you as soon as it's available in the app. We want to keep improving it to ensure that our users are happy and satisfied with the app. If you have any other suggestions then please feel free to contact us at support@iheartcam.com

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2022-09-09, version 2.8*

This is the best app I’ve found to be able to watch my puppy while I’m at work! Im so thankful for it!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-06-27, version 2.8*

Easy simple and awesome we use it every hotel stay to check on our dog and make sure all our junk is safe

### 5/5 — 2 days and already love it

*2022-05-26, version 2.6*

Just now trying this app and I love it so far.

### 5/5 — Really Works

*2022-05-13, version 2.6*

I was amazed of how easy it is to set it up. No adds. No charges. No issues. My apartment has horrible internet so after buying 10 different cameras to use I gave up. I tried looking for an app that would allow me to leave and still be able to check the camera. This was so simple and I didn’t have to buy anything extra, just used my old phone and I’m all set.

### 5/5 — A great free way to keep an eye on your fur babies

*2022-04-27, version 2.6*

I’ve been using this app for a couple of months now and have loved being able to monitor my dog while I’m away without needing a more expensive camera. For the free version of the app, it works very well with only minor tech glitches. I’m only using it as a monitor so I can’t speak to other features, but if you want more features than just a camera feed, you have to pay. For what I need, it’s been great.
