### 2/5 — Update breaks a great app

*2026-08-04*

The older version of this app would allow the control of settings remotely. The best feature for me was flash control. Unfortunately the web page viewer has limited settings to change and it’s no longer the great app it was. 
I agree with another review about a garbled screen. My iPhone 15 can’t be used as a remote camera but my iPhone XR can. A huge shame.

### 4/5 — Good on supported devices

*2025-11-14*

Works perfectly on an old iPod touch with iOS 12. No resolution option for the front camera for some reason, but I don’t need it anyway.
I figured it could be useful on my iPhone 16 Pro, but sadly doesn’t work. On first launch, it defaults to a very low resolution, something like 240p or lower. Setting any other resolution causes the image to become garbled and distorted. The only way to get back to the working low resolution is to re-install the app. The front camera works fine however.

### 2/5 — iPhone 13 mini error

*2024-12-30, version 1.4*

App and feed doesn’t work on iPhone 13 mini rear camera; shows some kind of static (colorful lines) and distorted image on every single setting. Front camera works on certain settings.

### 3/5 — Video works

*2023-11-04, version 1.4*

Video stream works, but does not support streaming audio from device (using mic)

### 2/5 — ios 7.1 crashes

*2022-04-05*

Fresh install iOS 7.1 on iPhone 4 w/ 32GB. App crashes right after launch no fix found anywhere. 

Works ok on iPhone 7 with about 2 second lag over low end 2ghz wifi.

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2022-01-10*

This is the only IPCam app I’ve been able to find that works well with Octolapse for creating 3d printing timelapses. For some reason the front facing cam will give me up to 4k streams but the higher-res back cam will only allow for HD (this is on my iphone11 pro). And I can’t choose which lens. My old 7+ still has the full range of sizes available so I imagine a small fix would probably resolve this. Still works great for my needs though!

### 4/5 — Launches OK

*2021-07-21, version 1.4*

on iPhone XS, IOS 14.6
Ignore the other reviews.

### 1/5 — Crashware!

*2021-04-26, version 1.4*

Looks like it’s Abandonware as well! Complete waste of money and should be removed from Apple App Store!

### 1/5 — App stürzt beim Start ab

*2021-04-10*

Gekauft, gestartet, abgestürzt. Reproduzierbar unter iPhone 4 mit iOS 7.1.2. 

Ziemlich frech dafür Geld zu verlangen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 4

*2021-01-07*

Does not work on iPhone 4 running 7.1.2 (closes when opened).

It did open on my iPhone 12.

I want a refund as i cant use it (crashes instantly)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on 4s

*2022-08-09*

I bought it to turn my old 4s into a security camera. App won’t load at all, it barely flashes a dark loading screen and immediately shuts off. Tried Manything instead, will be looking for another app that actually works on dinosaur phones.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iOS 7.1

*2022-04-10, version 1.4*

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicativo

*2023-01-22*

Muuuito bom

### 5/5 — Funktioniert sogar auf iPhone 13 Pro Max!

*2022-06-04*

Diese App hat alles was ich nur brauche, ich nutze mein altes Handy (XS) um damit mein 3d Drucker zu überwachen. Die 1€ lohnen sich. Danke

### 5/5 — Simple and effective - in cars

*2022-04-13*

I’ve spent hours searching for, and learning cam/home monitor apps trying to find one that works for me. The app is used in an IoT application as an anti collision detection monitor for the blind spot on my car. 
 Other apps have many more features and conveniences, but this app is the first I’ve found that does not require an internet connection. As I mentioned, the app is straight forward to use. A must have for use in a moving automobile. Many thanks.

### 5/5 — Works on older devices

*2021-09-08, version 1.4*

Just grab it if that means you.

### 5/5 — Please update this app for iPhone 12!

*2021-07-30*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Einfach und Super auch mit Kabel

*2021-07-11*

Die App funktioniert mit Abstand am besten. Ich nutze sie als Kamera zur Übertragung des Schreibtischs in Konferenzen. Funktioniert super und mega schnell. Am wichtigsten aber ist mir dass es am iPhone auch per Lightning Ethernet geht. Genial!!!!

### 5/5 — Super

*2020-08-16*

Simple et efficace !

### 5/5 — iOS device as Homebridge camera

*2020-06-09*

Works great for my needs... using old iPhones (first edition SE’s) as HomeKit compatible security cameras thanks to Homebridge and the ffmpeg plugin. 
Would love a macOS version to be able to use with an old iSight camera!

### 5/5 — Tut was es soll

*2020-04-12*

Funktioniert großartig im LAN und tut was es soll

### 5/5 — Serves its purpose in a great simple design

*2020-03-31*

The app does its purpose in a simple fashion with plenty of customization options, and a very easy setup to boot. Excellent app, highly recommend over other solutions.
