I get it, developers like to get paid. But updates continually reduce the number of cameras that can be used, and I’m afraid to update again fearing that I won’t get any use at all. It’s a shame, because it’s a good app. ### 2/5 — Not Ready For Prime Time *2026-06-27, version 2026.6* I purchased the Yearly Plus version since the description hit all the features I’ve been looking for. Fortunately, I have a weeks trial before I get billed. It’s looking like a cancellation for me. The user interface is the most unintuitive app I’ve ever seen. Nothing works and there is no support contact list and there are no instructions. Maybe someday it will get better. ### 1/5 — Recent update *2026-05-21, version 2026.5* Broke connection no connection , so far unable to connect ### 1/5 — Pas de fonctionnement 4G/5G *2026-05-20* Appli bien faite, détection automatique des caméras, même multimarques, sur le réseau domestique, paramètres nombreux. Il est vraiment regrettable que hors wifi l’appli ne fonctionne pas, et comme tout est en anglais il n’est pas facile de s’y retrouver. Donc aucun intérêt. ### 1/5 — Just isn't relaible! *2026-05-16, version 2026.5* Running it on my MacBook Air running Sonoma 14.8.3 Keeps dropping out and won't connect to the camera. Very random and annoying! Using CamHiPro on my iPhone and it's perfect! ### 1/5 — Too hard *2026-05-15, version 2026.5* Too technical for me. It needs to be a much easier way ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-05-13, version 2026.5* Downloaded this and it won’t let me get away from the “start your free week trial” page. Impossible to use without activating a “free trial”. The thing won’t go away. Bad app. ### 1/5 — Forced paid no free trial *2026-05-02, version 2026.4.1* The app is solid but unusable if you don’t pay the $50. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-04-29* The app is outstanding, it just works. And if you have set up your Home Hub, everything thing works seamlessly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forces trial subscription *2026-07-14, version 2026.6.1* You must accept a 1 week trial subscription to use this app. Too scammy for me. Report this to apple as bait and switch ### 1/5 — Won’t find cameras *2026-07-12, version 2026.6.1* Not good ### 1/5 — I WANT MY $32.22 REFUND NOW!!! 🤬🤬SCAM!!! THIEVES!!! SCAMMERS!!! 🫵🏻🫵🏻 *2026-07-10, version 2026.6.1* I’m pretty sure I don’t need this app for my iPhones or MacBook Pro hahaha!!! WHERE IS MY $32.22 !!!! ??? 🤔🧐🤬🫵🏻🫵🏻 ### 1/5 — Loading and installing *2026-07-07, version 2026.6.1* Tap the icon and it goes into a clock type counting down loading and then installing. Then nothing. Click agin and same thing again. Nothing opens nothing happens repeating clock count down with loading and installing ### 1/5 — impossibile cancellarsi *2026-07-07, version 2026.6.1* Il serviizio è a pagamento, costa poco, ma è impossibile cancellarsi ### 1/5 — very slow to load camera *2026-06-30, version 2026.6.1* amcrest makes good cameras but their software is the worst i’ve ever seen. I switched to Arlo cameras which are cheaper and comes with good software. ### 1/5 — Verbindungsprobleme *2026-06-18, version 2026.5.3* In verschiedenen abständen fallen die Cameras aus. In der Ctronic app sind alle Online mit stabilen Bild. Somit etwas frech für 35€ im Jahr! Nachtrag: Keine Veränderung! Eher noch schlimmer. ### 1/5 — Not free at all *2026-06-14, version 2026.5.2* I try to open the app and I’m locked behind a paywall I was told wasn’t gonna be there. At least say this on the AppStore you add ### 1/5 — No cellular data? *2026-06-10, version 2026.5.2* Why it won’t allow connections over cellular is beyond me. Why penalize those of us that have a VPN and port forwarding and can do this with many other apps? I was excited on the trial that it was able to stream all of my brand of IP cameras from several generations as no other app seems to be able to. I knew there was a catch. Then there’s the expensive yearly fee that others have complained about. I was almost ready to pay it as I’m getting desperate, but without cell support, it’s useless to me. And no, I’m not setting up a hub so you can squeeze that data from me, too. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-06, version 2026.5.2* I couldn't try it out to see if it would even work with an old cam before a screen popped up asking me to agree to a trial then $60/yr. I'm not taking that risk. I'll agree after I can at least know that it works! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super flexibel, und es FUNKTIONIERT! *2026-08-08* Der Hersteller meiner Home Cameras hat wohl Probleme mit der Store Veröffentlichung seiner App, zumindest gibt es die App im Store nicht mehr. Weil ich mir deswegen keine komplett neues Kameras Set kaufen wollte hab ich nach einer bei IP Cams fündig geworden. Wenn man ein ausgefeiltes Setup mit Internetzugang und einigen Shares auf nur aus Handel, muss man bezahlen: dafür braucht man die pro plus Lizenz. Ob das aber was für einen ist, kann man eine Woche lang ausprobieren. Das Setup war so einfach (ich hatte ein bisschen Hilfe von GPT), dass es superschnell lief und funktionierte. Dadurch habe ich zusätzlich noch den Vorteil gewonnen, dass ich hersteller-unabhängig alle Kameras jetzt in EINER App sehen kann. Obendrein werde ich jetzt nicht in jeder App mit den Cloud-Angeboten der verschiedenen Anbieter bombardiert. Bis jetzt bin ich rundum zufrieden! ### 5/5 — Legitimately great *2026-07-30, version 2026.7.1* Truly great app. If you have some POE cameras, or generic IP cams that advertise an address over your network and you don’t want to buy a cheapo NVR from the store, this is the app to get. I also use SecuritySpy on Mac, which is also awesome, and I think this app could replace SecuritySpy for the times when you don’t have a spare Mac or don’t want to buy a Mac since IPCams only needs something like an Apple TV to act as a hub. I love seeing powerful apps like this run completely with mobile hardware. ### 5/5 — Truly amazing for a mobile app *2026-07-18, version 2026.7* I work in construction and part of the work we do is running ethernet everywhere and installing POE cameras. Now, the usual solution is something like an off-the-shelf NVR from Lorex or other. However, it’s 2026, and NVRs and the software they ship with are no longer acceptable, so I started looking into apps I could run on either a Mac or Apple TV. The obvious solution on Mac is SecuritySpy, which is an awesome app. However, SS becomes expensive if you have to install a Mac at every job since it’s a hardware licensed app, not account based. IPCams, however, really does compete with SS in most ways. It’s Apple ID based so you can use it with any Apple hardware where you’re signed in and you only need an Apple TV, which is way less expensive than a Mac (works great on Mac, too). It’s also a simpler UI, which makes sense for iPhone/iPad, and that’s a definite upside. Additionally, it stores to iCloud so you don’t need to pay for a separate mechanical storage drive (that will probably fail anyway). This app really is a no-brainer for people who need a system to monitor their house or a simple business. It’s very affordable and very easy to set up. ### 5/5 — Rinky *2026-07-02, version 2026.6.1* Rahman ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2026-06-29, version 2026.6.1* This app is great! I have it installed on Mac mini acting as a hub, my iPhone to view the cameras remotely, and a MBP when I’m home. I’m using different brand ONVIF cameras and this app recognized and added them easily. I also have two proprietary models that I’m having difficulty adding, but that’s mostly operator error, not the software’s fault. If you just want to use the software as a viewer, it’s very good at that as well. I look forward to many years of use. ### 5/5 — Melhor app para câmera Wi-Fi *2026-06-08, version 2026.5.2* Muito rápido para abrir, o app da Icsee tem muita promoção. O IP Viewer é maravilhoso ### 5/5 — Top app! *2026-05-18, version 2026.5* Even gezocht naar een goede app om nieuwe en oudere camera’s te monitoren, helemaal tevreden met het pro plus abo! ### 5/5 — Rinky *2026-05-12, version 2026.5* Rahman ### 5/5 — EXCELENTE APP *2026-05-06, version 2026.4.1* APP MUY PRACTICA Y UTIL ### 5/5 — saung *2026-04-30, version 2026.4.1* ok --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
