Not many apps like this. It is also free so that is awesome, this app is great for anyone who has a pet at home, you can see what they are doing while you’re at work. ### 5/5 — A pet parent’s blessing! *2018-12-03, version 2.11.0* Having a new puppy at home I worry constantly when I am even out of the house for five minutes.Not anymore since I discovered this app!I can monitor what she’s doing and even talk to her!Peace of mind for me and she’s happy it’s all I can ask! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2018-12-03, version 2.11.0* I use this app to watch my son when he’s in his crib and I need to get things done in other parts of the house. It is very easy to use and I love that I can even talk to him because he settles down when he hears my voice. Connects easily to camera. GREAT APP! Would highly recommend ### 5/5 — Piece of mind *2018-12-02, version 2.11.0* I liked seeing what my teen daughter was up to all day. Come to find out, my cats were way more interesting! I recommend. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2018-11-26, version 2.11.0* Easy to use works as a great baby monitor to check on my toddler during nap time, didn’t take long to figure out how it works. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-11-24, version 2.11.0* Great, easy to use app! It’s easy to check and see what’s happening at home when you are out of town. ### 5/5 — Happy *2018-11-20, version 2.11.0* I’m able to log in and check on my pooch while I am out. Lovin’ it! ### 5/5 — Very useful app! *2018-11-12, version 2.11.0* I use the app to see what my cats are doing when I‘m at work and I‘m really happy with it. I really like that I can even talk to them through the app! It‘s easy to install and I had no problems with the connection to the camera. There is also instant alert and motion detection available, so I have a much better feeling when I leave my home. Highly recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — These developers are crooks *2020-01-02, version 2.14.0* You buy an in app service...they make it look like 3.99 a month...but it's a trick. It's really for the whole year...non refundable. So I thought I was just subscribing for the month and they stole an annual fee. Very criminal in their behavior! ### 1/5 — Kinda works. disconnects constantly. *2019-11-02, version 2.12.1* Upgrade does absolutely nothing. Online login does not work and so there is no cloud to view videos. Customer service left my chat. There is no customer support number. They then made my video disconnected. Don’t waste your money and I’m not gonna waste my time calling for a refund. Lots of programming work to do with the app. ### 3/5 — I’m conflicted *2019-01-06, version 2.11.2* I guess i can see the point if you have an extra tablet or phone laying around to use as the camera..i have an iphone 8+ and the image quality is absolutely terrible. 🤨 ### 3/5 — Having problems with it loading on my phone *2018-12-15, version 2.11.0* It opens on the phone that I use for camera but have problem loading on my other phone ### 4/5 — Wonderful!! *2018-12-02, version 2.11.0* I definitely recommend! I go on vacation all the time. I have lots of valuable things in the house and while I’m gone I like to check in on what is going on, if anything is going on. I give it 4 stars!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-04-16, version 2.10.3* Great app works well easy to use better than most of the other ones I have used. ### 5/5 — So cool *2019-03-13, version 2.11.4* So amazing how you can use an old phone as a security camera it’s nice that you can kinda save money if u have old phones laying around ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2019-02-23, version 2.11.4* The interface is user friendly! I’ve been thinking about buying a new camera for security at home but with Smartfrog I don’t have to. I use one of my phones as the camera, it connects fast. There’s some room of improvement for the clarity, but so far I’m happy with it. ### 5/5 — Best app for surveillance *2019-01-29, version 2.11.2* This app found a good use of my old iPhone which was lying idle. This app has not only put life to my old iPhone but it has helped me get a premium featured surveillance camera. The app is stable and serves as it promises. Kudos to the developers. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-01-08, version 2.11.2* I really enjoy the features on this app and the camera quality is amazing even though I used a IPhone for my camera. I used it as a baby monitor and when I was away at work to keep eyes on things and it’s the best app to use for a single mom like me. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Camera *2018-12-16, version 2.11.0* Awesome Resolution! ### 5/5 — Smartfrog *2018-12-12, version 2.11.0* I love that I can finally see what’s going on with my dogs when I’m not home. These little guys have been wrecking the place and now I see who who the culprit is and all with this FREE app! I didn’t need to spend a dime! Downloaded the app to my phone and I was all set! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-12-11, version 2.11.0* I love using this app as a baby monitor for my son I can easily peek in on him easily by accessing my app :) ### 5/5 — Great *2018-12-11, version 2.11.0* I am updating my review. The camera is now working and works perfect. I can view it while away from home and check on my kids at same time. ### 5/5 — Love this!! *2018-12-07, version 2.11.0* This is ingenious, a great way to keep in touch at home and monitor things! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
