### 2/5 — Great idea; poor execution

*2019-07-23, version 1.3*

It would be great to explore other areas of the world through these cams, but the upload is excruciatingly slow, the interface is clunky and veeeeeerrrry slow to respond, and most of the time the cams are just pointed at some boring scene that never changes.

### 2/5 — Zu wenig bekannte Orte

*2019-06-15*

Sind nur ein paar Kameras interessante wirst es verstreut und sinnlos. Großstädte sind vereinzelt mit einigen Kameras dabei. Aber die Welt sieht man nicht.

### 5/5 — Best

*2019-04-28, version 1.3*

Best hands down, it’s amazingly easy to use and very organized..

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-04-13, version 1.3*

Had this app for years now but preferred it before as its very clunky and slow now and many of the apps that are Controlable are not. 
However I still enjoy the app.

### 4/5 — Observation or Security  camera's world wide

*2019-02-18, version 1.3*

This is more about the software program than the video images from different types of cameras. I do rate the concept of the sharing of various surveillance live streams as more about curiosity what people do with placement of cameras. Live streams open world view for anybody who has the iSpy application installed to view free usage of other iSpy users around the world. Terence - Oregon USA.

### 3/5 — Good but could be improved

*2019-02-17, version 1.3*

I do wish that the cameras chosen as favourites would remain on the favourites screen some dissapear from time to time which is annoying why does this happen?  I am transmitting this message once more because I have recently lost some of my real favourites like Emsdetten rail station Germany Amersfort dockside Netherlands Kirkenes Norway plus others please let me know if they will ever return Terry UK

### 5/5 — Nice to see the world

*2018-10-03, version 1.3*

It’s like your own looking glass into the world in real time

### 5/5 — Review

*2018-09-11, version 1.3*

Exelent site love watching watching what goes on around the world .

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2018-09-10, version 1.3*

It’s a lot of fun seeing other parts of the world from you laptop or iPad.

### 5/5 — Like... but😉

*2018-08-12, version 1.3*

I do love this app. It’s fun to show my girls places around the world I’ve been too. The only two issues I have( might be out of this app’s hands) some cameras are just still cameras( no movement of people) and some just go away after awhile. For example The camera at Dukes in Huntington Beach ca.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-06-29, version 1.2.1*

Great app

### 5/5 — One of a kind

*2018-02-17, version 1.2.1*

Awesome app. I use it daily.

### 5/5 — GOOD

*2018-01-11, version 1.2.1*

I've had this for quite some time. Mostly it's improved. I can't travel so this gives me a way to see how things look like in other lands. Because it's true time I can access it whenever I have down time in the day and when I can't sleep at night.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2025-11-01*

No Cameras found.
Useless App

### 1/5 — my malware ap flagged the "site" unsafe

*2022-01-20, version 1.3.2*

My malware ap flagged the "saite" unsafe within 5 minutes of accessing this ap so I deleted it.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-06-19, version 1.3.1*

Thiss was no different than the free ap.  Not even worth the low price of 99cents.  The cams are not crystal clear like EarthCam. Also have excellent clear cams which are free PTZtv.  Glad this was only 99cents.  I just purchased this about 20 minutes ago.  Am now going to delete this ap.  The reviews I read sounded great . This was a disappointment.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2019-06-26*

C’est nul,j’ai payé pour des images floues ou pixelisées, je n’ai lu que des commentaires positifs alors que tout est de mauvaise qualité; je suis sur ipad pro 12.9 je m’attendais à beaucoup mieux. J’attends une MAJ éventuelle avant de desinstaller.

### 1/5 — data drain

*2019-06-12, version 1.3*

drained 900mb of my data when abroad, when i hadn't even opened the app or used it. Caused a lot of problems, otherwise hadn’t had a problem previously.

### 1/5 — Bad quality. Need updates

*2019-05-12, version 1.3*

Image quality is sub standard. Jagged video and no sound. Get earth cam. Much better. This seriously needs updates.

### 1/5 — I paid for nothing

*2018-09-05, version 1.3*

Can I get my money back? There’s no many live cams.

### 1/5 — Need a specific area

*2017-12-13, version 1.2.1*

I’ll change the review stars soon as you help me I need help spying on my husband is it anyway u can access inside cameras

### 1/5 — UK perspective: complete rubbish

*2017-11-21, version 1.2.1*

Virtually no UK webcams are represented and there appears to be no way of accessing them, by search or any other means.  To add insult to injury, a search on "London" (heard of it?) shows five webcams, one of which is unidentifiable and the other four are for a marina near Falmouth, more than 250 miles away!

I'm sure that if you're interested in US webcams, this app might be of use, although the absence of map search makes it less useable than the late-lamented WorldView.  I'm not even sure why it is available on the UK app store - avoid.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2017-08-05, version 1.1*

See all the dazzle pictures and the front they All don't exist in real life they lie to you personsly I think the free version is better because it doesn't lie

### 5/5 — George

*2025-12-13, version 1.3.2*

There isn’t as many cameras as there used to be, several popular ones now missing.

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2023-12-01, version 1.3.2*

I’ve tried them all, this one stands out head and shoulders, however, I didn’t look for awhile, when back to see all the places, most were gone, not even close the number of places to see, why are they gone…used to be hundreds of places , now not so much…
However again your the best hands down, without doubt…
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Sweep da leg Jonny

*2023-11-03, version 1.3.2*

Yep. Sweep that leg… jonny

### 5/5 — The app I’ll never delete

*2020-09-30, version 1.3.1*

I’ve had this app since 2007 when I got an ipod touch in high school for xmas. Watching random webcams got me through some weird times. Anyway thank you to whoever made ispy, it has a special place in my heart and phone.
