## What is Planet Cam?

Come relax and watch videos in real time from all over the world. You can browse them through the main page or by browsing the map.

On each camera you can choose filters to get a better image or simply a more artistic view. Once you've found a camera you like, you can bookmark it and take advantage of the iCloud sync to find it on all your devices.

The database is updated independently from the application updates so don't hesitate to come back often to see the latest news.

The application is 100% free funded by a little advertising but you can make a one-time lifetime purchase to remove them permanently, the choice is yours!

There is a share function via Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp to disable ads temporarily too.

The location on the map is either searched manually so very accurate, or found by IP address location so a little more approximate.

### 5/5 — Für ältere Ipads keine Updats mehr

*2026-08-15*

Leider gibt es für Geräte mit ios 9.3.5 und älter keine Updates mehr. Sehr schade, da die App gut ist.

### 5/5 — Nan

*2026-08-14, version 6.05*

See the world from my couch!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-14, version 6.05*

Love live cams🥰

### 2/5 — It doesn’t even have my camera

*2026-08-04, version 6.05*

I need every camera from the whole entire world, even in redding

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-04, version 6.05*

Not one day do any of them work
Have not been able to get one cam in Florida to work for the past 4 days.

### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing …

*2026-07-22*

I noticed cams like these on the weather channels but I enjoy pinching in & captures! Especially since I am a reclusive spirit due to the horrendous weather conditions. I am very afraid of storms, lightning & even tornadoes have happened where we live. Hoping a huge earthquake isn’t next or that Yellowstone doesn’t erupt! 10 outta 10 this app is for me! Ty, creators!

### 1/5 — Nul

*2026-07-02*

Et nul

**Developer response:** Désolé que l’app ne vous ait pas convaincu. Pourriez-vous préciser ce qui vous a déçu ou ce qui ne fonctionne pas ?

### 1/5 — Not liking new redo

*2026-07-01, version 6.01*

Ruined by complete redo; NOT liking being able to see only one or two at a time. If there’s a way to see old view of several at a time on smaller screens, it’s not obvious. WHY CHANGE??? And clicking “see it live” when using the map, does nothing

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS😍

*2026-05-31, version 5.56*

This app is very interesting and cool.  It is so fun to see what is happening around the world right now.  There are so many different cameras and all sorts of places.  The only bad thing is that it's unsettling to feel like a strangers watching you.  There are all sorts of cameras in places where you wouldn't be able to see normally.  An app like this is a great idea!  Thank you to whoever made this!😃

### 5/5 — Discover New Places

*2026-05-30*

This app has become one of my favorite ways to explore the world.

What I enjoy most is that it takes me to places I would never have thought to visit. I’ll open a live camera in a town I’ve never heard of and suddenly find myself learning about its history, culture, geography, and people. One camera often turns into an unexpected journey of discovery.

The live feeds show more than famous tourist destinations. I’ve enjoyed seeing ordinary life unfold in small towns, harbors, beaches, city streets, and communities around the world. Watching real places in real time has made me more curious about the world and the people who live in it.

The app is easy to use, the video quality is generally very good, and there always seems to be something new to discover.

One feature I would love to see in a future update is integration with Wikipedia or other educational resources. It would be wonderful to learn about a location’s history, culture, and landmarks without leaving the app..
