Nice app, but needs a refresh
The UI could use a refresh as the Preferences cannot be selected on an iPad since it is beneath the multitasking buttons/dots. Would also be nice to have an option to support multiple camera groups rather than one long swipe-able list.
Sloth Cam
The app is absolutely amazing for looking at web cams. But I deleted it off my phone because of the ridiculous amount of ads... you literally can not use the app because you are all the time trying to close pop up Ads🤬
Great app
This app lets me view all of my JPEG based webcams in one place. It helps me keep an eye on traffic and surf conditions. The default webcams are nothing special but adding your own webcams really makes this app useful.
Easy
I like this for viewing road condition cams that on a website you need to click different links for each camera. With Slothcam once you have some cameras loaded all you need to do is swipe between them. Also excellent support. I needed help because I did not know when you copy a webcam image you also copy the URL and that is what you paste in Slothcam to get the webcam online.
Once set up its works nice.

Works but lacking
This app functions, including the iOS/OSX link and has proved reliable.
There is no obvious way to add a username/password combination for cams that are protected. This is a serious omission for those that want to access their home security cams. No response from the author, despite comments in iTunes. Fortunately a bodged workaround is possible.
I found the OSX version a bit buggy, so buyers of the iOS version needing this feature, beware.

I like it
SlothCam is a nice option for checking out webcams around the world. It works well and looks good, despite the ridiculous name.
Very Good!
I've been using this app across iDevices and the Mac widget for a few years and it's very easy to use and has an export/import feature which is useful. I had a minor issue with a URL today and the author replied back with support and fix within 30 minutes. I recommend this app if you have favourite webcam urls you visit. In my case, views of the Norfolk Broads mostly.

The best iOS webcam app
It has been years and this is still the best webcam app for iOS. The iCloud functionality and compatible lite with the Mac and widget versions of the app are particularly cool.
Light and tight
Very nice jackson. Takes up very little storage, very speedy and like the full screen interface with airplay capabilities.
Neat
Very nice, please add more cams in the pre-loaded list!
Nice, simple, does what it should. Cloud sync is great.
My only complaint is that for some reason it doesn't allow for pinch to zoom on the images, which is necessary for some webcam uses (like being able to read a windsock on an airfield cam or warning lights on machinery). I can't see any reason for this app not to allow you to be able to zoom into the webcam image. Really wishing for an update with that feature. Other than that it's really cool.

A waste of 100 pennies. It does not work get the free ap and Save your cash!!! Big rip off!!!i
Waste of a dollar! Get free app it's the same thing!
Cannot add new cameras
Attempted to add a web cam, using the the online instructions. The web cam site would not load!
A moment of silence for the loss of a dollar
Simply put, it doesn't work as described. Waste of a dollar and more importantly time.
AirPlay does work.
I just received the instructions for AirPlay from the author Jackson Myers and the work perfectly. Here they are: Just double tap the home button and slide your applications tray to the right and you'll see the AirPlay button (iPad). On iPhone you have to side it to the right twice before you see the button.
It sounds like this is just screen mirroring but once the app detects that this is turned on, it'll start beaming full sized images to your tv rather than just mirroring your screen.

Great program from a great developer
I had used the Slothcam dashboard widget for a number of years and was happy to see this app available for my new iPhone. Very versatile, easy to use, integrates with iCloud, and a wonderfully responsive developer. One of my favorite apps!
Cloud support
I don't use the cloud so this does not seem to do much for me. I do like this app and wish there was a way for users to share links. It is quite hard for me to find links that work with the app.
I did find the video on how to add links to be very useful. I did not know how to copy and paste on my ipad. Changing my rating from 3 to 4 as a result.

Disappointed in format support.
One of my favorite "cams" to add to such apps is an animated (looped) weather map for my region. Unfortunately most of those available use an animated .gif format. This is not supported by SlothCam. :(…
Otherwise the app is easy to use if you can find a webcam with the requisite .jpg format.

Trouble finding sites to add??
It could be me but I am having great difficulty finding URL'S in the format this program accepts. I was hoping for something simple to setup! If I figure out how I will change the rating.
Needs search
You can only add a webcam if you know its URL. There is no search by location within the app.
