Muito fácil de usar. Poderia usar maiores "frame rates" e resolução de vídeo. Recomendo! ### 4/5 — Ziemlich gut *2017-03-10, version 1.0.2* Ich musste mir leider noch firefox installieren damit es funktioniert ### 3/5 — Streams very well but... *2016-10-02, version 1.0.2* 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! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-05-28, version 1.0.2* Can't change settings. Won't show up on PC. Waste of my time. Don't Download. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2015-05-26, version 1.0.2* Crashes and freezes when closed. Getting it to work is tricky. Fails with Chrome. ### 1/5 — Needs Update *2015-04-07, version 1.0.2* Doesn't appear to work on iPhone 6 with iOS 8.2. ### 3/5 — Does what it says…. *2015-03-17, version 1.0.2* ...Very little. But, work it does. ### 4/5 — Проблема *2015-02-09, version 1.0.2* Не работает как камера на ios8. ИСПРАВЬТЕ!!! ### 1/5 — Dejo de funcionar *2015-01-31, version 1.0.2* Ya no es compatible con la ultimas actualizaciones Una pena!! ### 1/5 — Junk *2014-11-18, version 1.0.2* Don't waste your time , doesn't work on my 5c ### 4/5 — Good little IP camera *2014-11-05, version 1.0.2* Only thing is that with a name like "mini webcam" people would expect it to emulate a USB webcam, rather than its actual functionality of broadcasting an image over the network. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow AF *2017-06-18, version 1.0.2* Definitely need improvement.

It seems to be a fake link to another product and Skype doesn’t work for older version of iOS. ### 1/5 — NÃO FUNCIONA!!! *2016-02-21, version 1.0.2* Não funciona nem no Firefox nem no Safari e nem lugar algum!.
