### 4/5 — Great App

*2014-07-20*

I have configured this app to work with my four D-Link DCS cameras.  I needed to port forward my router to gain access from outside my local network.  I love the grid view.  So far I have enjoyed reliable operation both on my local network and over 3G on an iPhone.

### 3/5 — Can't view when away from home

*2013-09-14, version 3.1.2*

I like being able to see all cameras on one page, but I am unable to connect and view when I am away via WiFi or LTE.

### 2/5 — Meh.

*2013-08-14*

Average. Not worth 4.99

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2013-03-29*

Easy to use. I have a dlink dcs932l and it works.

### 3/5 — Sound

*2013-01-19, version 3.0.1*

I like this app well enough but wish that it would allow sound when viewing and when saving video

### 2/5 — Update Problem

*2012-12-21, version 3.0.0*

Won't open after update of 12/20 !  I have Iphone 5. Was working fine until this update.  I deleted and reinstalled 3 times and still wont open.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2012-10-09*

Very limited functionality for my D932L.  Considering my internet browser gives me an audio feed plus access to motion control, email and FTP, this app really only offers a quick view and nothing else.  Disappointing, it could use some more features, at least audio.

### 1/5 — Marc murph

*2012-09-11*

It's useless - doesnt work - no support or guidance

### 2/5 — Lacks full screen mode

*2012-05-29, version 2.4.3*

It works OK but will only show a partial screen view of the selected camera feed. I'd give it 4 stars if it had that feature. It's stable, but really low on features.

### 3/5 — Easy to setup, but video update rate is slow

*2012-05-27, version 2.4.3*

Despite many of the other reviews, I had absolutely no trouble getting this to work.   All you do is enter the IP address or DNS name of the camera and the camera password and it is added to the list.  If you don't understand what an IP address or a DNS name is, then this app is not for you.   

What I am disappointed in is the lack of features.   
1. It appears to only download a snapshot once every second instead of streamed video(NO RTSP support).
2. It doesn't support audio from cameras.   

In fact, on many D-Link cameras you can simply open the MJPEG URL in safari and get the same video quality and update rate for free.  

What the app does is give you the ability to display multiple cameras on the same screen for quick viewing. Don't expect anything more and you will be happy.

### 3/5 — No time outs, better than my dlink

*2012-05-16, version 2.4.3*

As above, but still having problems when using it with 4G. Works great over wifi. Not an intuitive setup, decent directions.

### 1/5 — Mr

Doesn't work most of the time

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-08-26, version 3.1.7*

Hangs and freezes. Goes to black screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 12

*2018-09-19, version 3.1.6*

Crashes on open for iOS 12

### 1/5 — Not so simple

*2016-04-22, version 3.1.5*

I thought this app would automatically add all the Dlink cameras I have. Because it seemed specific to Dlink. It does not. You have to find and enter all the up addresses. I could have done this with any other cam app.

### 1/5 — DON'T BUY

*2016-01-07*

This app does not work at all. It is probably just a FRAUD to get your passwords and spy on you. Absolute waste of money. If I could rate it zero stars I would. Wish I could get my money back too.

### 1/5 — Broke on iPhone 6

*2014-10-14, version 3.1.2*

I have been using for years and worked great. I upgraded to iPhone 6 and now you can not add a new camera. It appears to add and shows video. But as soon as you close the app the changes are not saved. 
PLEASE FIX
Still works on iPad and os8

### 1/5 — Does not work in iOS 8

*2014-10-06, version 3.1.2*

I've been using this app for many years now but it no longer works properly in iOS 8 on an iPhone 6. New cameras that are added to the list are forgotten when the app quits completely. Makes it impossible to set up the app from scratch on a brand new phone.

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app!

*2013-04-14*

Very hard to delete cameras,
Crashes all the time,
No audio preset controls.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2013-03-08*

Product blows- thanks for nothin

### 1/5 — Doesn't work waste of your money

*2012-10-31*

You should give us people our money back

### 1/5 — 5 second recording and no sound - upgrade?

*2012-10-02*

I purchased this app as the free version kept crashing. This one seems to crash too so the $5.49 spent now seems a waste.

There is no sound either.  Can the developers add this feature?

Also only records for 5 seconds, not the "up to 30 seconds" as described in the features.  Maybe the developers can upgrade this feature too?

No full screen option either.

A little disappointing.

### 5/5 — Crashes with iOS 12

*2018-09-22, version 3.1.6*

Appears to be broken after upgrading to iOS 12.

Please fix!

Great product.... very stable...

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-06-02, version 3.1.5*

First one I've come across that supports all our Dlink cams, including our DCS-3010s.  Adding cameras is super easy as the developers designed the app to automatically identify the camera connect string.  Happy!

### 5/5 — Works from outside network

*2014-08-18, version 3.1.2*

Other reviewers just don't know how to enable port forwarding.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2013-11-27, version 3.1.2*

I'm able to watch my son at his day school all day. Excellent customer service, super fast responses to any issues which are few.

Highly recommended!

Thank you!!!!

### 5/5 — Fasteset, easiest to set up easy to use

*2012-11-17, version 2.4.3*

Simply enter IP address, port, name POW , camera found excellent image portrait, landscape PTZ only one out of 6 programs that worked almost set itself up,  pan tilt zoom any model thousands on his list You want simple here it is! A+++

### 5/5 — Never give reviews but ,

*2012-11-13*

This app will find and show all the supported Dlink cams without hesitation , I've bought em all and this one still show all my cams , before Mydlink app , website or even my computer network tab with thumbnails to boot . I got it when it was free but would spend the $5 easy , I just did for testing reasons on another app and it failed miserably , the best for DCS 900 series cams for sure . Check for cam support before of course ... 5/5 easy compared to rest of crap out there

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-10-08*

Works very well on our dlink cameras at business place.

### 5/5 — Works extremely well

*2012-05-19*

This app does exactly what it says it does - allow you to view D-Link cameras on your iOS devices.  I have 5 cameras set up at home and use this app on multiple iDevices to view them as required. The only issue is setting up your home network to view cameras externally. To do this, simply read up on Port Forwarding on your Router and expose a Port to the app to aim at. the other option is to use an external site, but I am not comfortable with that - figuring out how to expose a Port is a much safer approach.
Al in all, I am a big fan of the D-Link camera (especially the DCS-932L) and this app.
My ONLY complaint is that I cannot receive the audio on the app - hopefully that will be addressed in a future release.

### 5/5 — Finally, I can view multiple cameras at the same time!!

*2012-03-25, version 2.4*

This is the fourth D-Link viewer app I have purchased in my search for one that will give me a quad view.  This one actually lets me view 6 cameras at once.  And it works!

Others, like UDcsCam, allow you to view one camera at a time, and they have an in-app upgrade to allow you to view 4 at a time.  I paid for the upgrade, and I saw 4 cameras, but they ran in slow motion, and after 5 minutes, I'm viewing what happened 4 minutes ago.  NO GOOD!  I emailed the developers a month ago and they still have not replied.

I know it is not my cameras because the multi-view works GREAT in D-Link Cams!  So I highly recommend this app, and my search is finally over!

### 5/5 — Works with older cams too

*2012-03-08, version 2.3.2*

My older  Dlink dcs 920 needs java to stream live video in a browser and the ipod doesn't use java but with this app, the camera is supported and it will stream live video just fine. Will also work with my 8 year old dlink camera as well which is a plus.
