## What is Spyglass Camera Viewer?

Spyglass Camera Viewer is the best way to see, and manage, your security cameras. View all of your live feeds, get notified when there's motion with push notifications, and look at recorded events from your iPhone, iPad, or even Apple Watch. We currently support Security Spy camera servers.

Spyglass lets you:

• View all of your server's cameras.
• Receive push notification alerts for motion. (If you force-press on one, you will see that camera's live stream without having to open the app!).
• Use PTZ to control pan, tilt, and zoom.
• Listen to your camera's audio stream (if supported by device).
• See all your camera's recorded events like photo snapshots and movies.
• Customize the amount of cameras you can see on one screen — we support a 1X1, 2X2, and 3X3 viewing experience on iPhones and iPads.
• See your cameras live, right from your Apple Watch!
• Use iPad Split View to keep your cameras up while you use another app at the same time.
• Take snapshots of your camera when viewing, saved right to your camera library.

We are working hard on new Spyglass updates, so please stay-tuned! We hope you enjoy the app and would love some feedback!

### 1/5 — Pro subscription charges but doesn’t work.

*2020-12-31*

I’ve been using SpyGlass since it’s release and gladly paid the pro yearly subscription.  However for the past year or so the purchase and restore has been broken. It gladly charges you but then says no active subscription available.  I have paid for 2 years worth of Pro without getting any pro features. I also tried the monthly subscription but the same thing happens.  This app has clearly been abandoned and is not worth your time.  The official app is now fast and supports multiple servers.  Download that instead.

### 1/5 — Can’t use premium features after paying for them

*2020-11-13*

I paid for the premium plan but it doesn’t recognize that so won’t let you use ptz features. Just use the free version but don’t give them money for nothing.

### 2/5 — Sub not working

*2020-11-09*

My sub renewal is in July 2021.  Guess they got my $5.99 for free since I can no longer use the pro based items. Says I have no sub but it shows I do under my subscriptions. I tried to use the restore sub but that didn’t work. Don’t buy this, website gone and your money gets you nothing!

### 1/5 — No. Want the old dev back

*2020-04-30*

I had the old Spyglass app from 2014. That worked perfectly (it still does - it’s still on the App Store from your Purchases if you had it before). 

This new version won’t save the server details. It says “Connected!”, but then you go to the main screen and there’s no cameras. Go back server settings - they’re wiped. Have to re-enter. Won’t save. 

Will not be sending any money to this new dev. You shouldn’t either.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple Watch

*2019-11-10*

I got this specifically to use with my watch. When I click on the app on the watch, it spins, then crashes back to the home screen. Useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2019-04-02*

I been using old spyglass for years and it work like a charm, so I decided purchase the new version, but ptz and pinch to zoom don't work just like demo version.  Don't waste your money on the pay version it work exactly like the demo version.

**Developer response:** We have fixed this bug in the latest version. Thanks so much for the feedback and please let us know if we can help. Our email is feedback@spyglassapp.com

### 1/5 — Watch app will not load. Crashes to home screen.

*2019-01-02*

Works on the phone but doesn’t on the watch.

### 1/5 — No Apple Watch functionality

*2018-12-10, version 1.0.5*

I got this app about a year ago, and it worked fine up until around the last update. Initially wouldn’t even connect to the server to view on an iPhone 7 or an Apple Watch. Now it won’t even open on the Watch, and zero options for contacting Support.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch App is Useless

*2018-11-20*

The app on the watch won’t load at all.

### 1/5 — WatchOS not working

*2018-11-18*

The watch app doesn’t open. Crashes to home screen.
