### 4/5 — Sort the Camera listing

*2017-05-19, version 1.5.3.51*

The app is very handy.  However, when you have a very long list of cameras on a server (we have over 100), the camera list is not in any type of order.  

It would help tremendously if the camera list was sorted.

### 3/5 — Salient TouchView

*2017-04-02, version 1.5.3.51*

I believe the app is good but it could be much better. When will there be a version for my Mac? Seriously 2017…

### 1/5 — 4 hours wasted

*2017-01-13, version 1.5.2.60*

Worst app I've used

### 1/5 — Server only

*2015-06-06, version 1.3.2.1*

I was looking for a simple app that I can connect my cams to watch in realtime. This seems to only work by connecting a server system.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-10-29, version 1.2.0.0*

A admin console app would be nice.

### 5/5 — Near perfect

*2013-02-26, version 1.0.0.0*

Pros: Server setup worked flawlessly, the app is faster than any other I've used, and the video quality is crisp and clear as on the pc.

Cons: after 3 days of use, no cons.
