Nice work!

Bravo, Taylor! This is a really neat app! I love innovations that bridge old and new tech. This is really a cool tool that makes old phones integrate beautifully with the Apple HomeKit ecosystem! I’m impressed, thanks for your great work on this.

Great app for your old iPhone

I use Pylo as a mobile HomeKit camera around the house. When I need to monitor the dog, lawn wildlife, bbq temperatures etc. It’s been fairly solid and the iPhone cameras have considerably better dynamic range than my other aqara cameras.

Been waiting for something like this

Great so far with constant updates; I can just grab an old iPhone when I need to temporarily monitor the dog, my sumps. Well worth a few bucks and no subscription!

Perfection

Turn any current and future old iPhone/iPad into a HoneKit camera for a one time $5 payment. Have not encountered any issues yet. Literally no reason not to buy this app if you need a HomeKit camera and have an old iPhone or iPad laying around
