### 4/5 — Password protected

*2020-07-30, version 3.1.5*

When will the app have a password or face recognition feature?

### 2/5 — WAS...Great App

*2017-04-23, version 3.1.5*

Update...   No updates in 3 years...Frequently cannot connect to my cameras.  Would not recommend until they update for new iOS. 
Old review....Have 3 cameras, so needed pro version. Well worth the money to be able to view camera or multi-cameras in an instant!  Even allows control of cameras.

### 4/5 — Needs sound

*2015-10-23, version 3.1.5*

Works well. Nice app. No sound even though my IP camera has sound enabled.

### 4/5 — Better than Safari

*2015-10-19, version 3.1.5*

Always had trouble using Safari (and even browsers on my pc) to access my Sharx camera. Very easy app to set up and use. Only using with one camera, so the 5.99 price to add an extra camera makes it drop one star. But maybe I'm just a socialist.

### 3/5 — Its ok. Needs work

*2015-04-05, version 3.1.5*

Works great on my Panasonic cam with PTZ but PTZ functions are crippled on my Foscam. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Not shareable with family share

*2015-02-28, version 3.1.5*

The only complaint I have against this app is the fact that it is not shareable among family members. I paid $6 for the full version then realized this fact. I was hopping I could let my family members access to all the camera around the house but apparently that asking too much. Other than this... This would have  been an awesome app.

### 4/5 — Little laggy but good

*2014-10-21, version 3.1.5*

Little laggy

### 2/5 — It does what it says and was free.

*2014-09-20, version 3.1.3*

The free version has some limitation but as I only have two cameras this is not an issue for me. It has worked fine for me for a good number of months on both an iPod Touch and an iPhone so I have no complaint. It was just what I needed so I give it five stars, not because it is the ultimate app but because it does what it promises without drama.
UPDATE:
Does not seem to work on my iPad with iOS8 - thus down to two stars - something that doesn't work can expect a good rating.

### 3/5 — Good for viewing unless you need to move the camera

*2014-07-09, version 3.1.3*

Great and easy to set up and use, unless you are monitoring a moving target. The camera is able to pan, however it never stops. Unless you have a camera set on one object or if you have someone else that can move the camera for you, you may want to consider another viewer.

### 3/5 — Mr

*2014-06-15, version 3.1.3*

Basic but Good & easy to setup.

### 4/5 — Good app..

*2014-03-09, version 3.1.3*

Works very well - nice and simple to use. Connected and displayed video quickly & easily for TrendNet & Axis cameras, when a number of other Apps I tried, failed miserably... Recommended. 
Only suggestion I'd like to make, is for multiview to be work for 8 cameras.

### 1/5 — Update!

*2024-05-08, version 3.1.5*

This app needs updated.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing iPhone 16.3

*2023-02-08, version 3.1.5*

After rebooting iPhone 14 pro iOS 16.3 and re downloading the netvamviewer app still crashes.  

Same app on my iPad still works fine.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work.

*2018-01-02, version 3.1.5*

We have acquired a number of cams over the course of time. I tried using this app once before to replace another app I was using in hopes of finding a single app for the cams. Didn’t work then and still doesn’t. I am guessing this app is tailored to a few types of cams and that is what they should stick to. It is definitely not a one size fits all.

### 1/5 — Oops!

*2016-12-29, version 3.1.5*

Oops!

### 1/5 — Doesn't support newer cameras

*2015-07-09, version 3.1.5*

My old D-Link cams work fine (DCS-933L), but none of my 2 yr old Foscams (FI9821W) work at all.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2014-10-23, version 3.1.5*

Doesn't support my camera, but unlike other viewers this doesn't support RTSP over TCP as an alternative to HTTP

### 1/5 — iOS8 issues!

*2014-09-20, version 3.1.3*

The app freezes when running iOS8! Tested on iPhone 4s and 5 same issues!

### 1/5 — Resolution?

*2014-08-15, version 3.1.3*

So, app hasn't been upgraded for iPhone 5/5S? Deleted.....

### 1/5 — No longer works with Hootoo Cameras

*2014-08-02, version 3.1.3*

I've used this for two years but the new update no longer allows a configuration for Hootoo cameras. Now I can't watch my cameras. Hope they fix it soon!!!

### 1/5 — ?

*2014-02-27, version 3.1.3*

Please help I don't know how to use this

### 5/5 — Awesome! Works with raspberry pi motion

*2015-02-27, version 3.1.5*

I was having issues connecting to my raspberry pi cam using IOS and a web browser. Install this app and works like magic. Clean and simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Clean & Simple

*2014-10-30, version 3.1.5*

Works very well with my older LinkSys. It didn't find it on my LAN when I searched, but it was easy enough to enter the address and port. Accesses the image quickly when I start the app, and I like the tap-to-zoom feature.

### 5/5 — Clean and simple camera app.

*2014-09-23, version 3.1.5*

I love this camera app, especially after the update to support iPhone 5+ resolutions and iOS8. It's clean, simple, and functional - can't ask for much more.

### 5/5 — Best surveillance app🚨

*2014-09-22, version 3.1.5*

This app streams great over 4G or LTE with no lag it beats all the others out there.👍

### 5/5 — Great app

Simple and effective

### 5/5 — Wooo!
