Nope!

Tried in three different browsers on 2 different computer. Never worked. It was free so just wasted time!

Streams very well but...

This is the ONLY app I have found that lets me stream my old iPhones to my MotionEYE OS server. It does this very well at medium resolution.. The ONLY thing I do not like about this app is that it does not have the option to setup a username and password to protect the feed. Please update this app to include that feature and I will gladly buy a "Pro" version!

Didn’t install

I download on an iPod and ended up with a different product when it said “installing” ends up being Skype Home, which doesn’t work. It seems to be a fake link to another product and Skype doesn’t work for older version of iOS.
