### 2/5 — Compatibility Issue with iOS12

*2018-09-19, version 1.5.4*

Application used to work reliably, however no longer functions with recent operating system update.

### 2/5 — Dead on iOS12

*2018-09-19, version 1.5.4*

It took them months until they updated the app for 11. How long until they mod the file to be compatible with the newest iOS version? Need to find an alternative and consider it a lost 5 bucks

### 4/5 — OS 12

*2018-07-19, version 1.5.4*

Doesn’t work on OS 12

### 3/5 — Please update for IOS 11

*2017-10-13, version 1.5.3*

Please update for IOS 11

### 2/5 — Useless

*2015-03-24, version 1.5.3*

This is supposed to be for Panasonic cameras.
No presets
No audible
Just video
Eyecam is much better!

### 2/5 — Privacy enabler

*2014-10-20, version 1.5.1*

I was fooled by the app icon that prominently shows a green-highlighted privacy button. Since I have a house full of this particular model, and no way to enable/disable privacy except through web browser access, I took a chance that this Panasonic-specific app would offer that function (haven’t found an iOS app yet that does). Sorry to say… it doesn’t.

### 3/5 — I was a little disappointed

*2013-07-17, version 1.4.3*

I have a Panasonic webcam, and it loaded the image just fine.  But, I wanted to get the audio feed as well and this app appears to only do video.  Bummer.  Also, I thought the swipe and move feature only moved a short distance with each swipe.  some kind of two finger big move feature would be nice.

### 3/5 — Improved

*2013-05-12*

Latest version is better. Swipe-pan works the right way now, I see there is a setting to switch it back. Pan still very slow though, needs setting to increase sensitivity.
STILL NO SOUND
How difficult can it be to get the sound working? It works through Microsoft Internet Explorer!!!!

### 4/5 — but no sound of the camera

*2012-11-22*

the application is great but I cannot hear sound from the camera, it would be better if this issue can be fixed

### 3/5 — Needs sound

*2012-04-27, version 1.4.2*

Would give 5 stars if had sound 
Cams record and no good without sound

### 2/5 — DY

*2011-12-08, version 1.3*

This app does not have sound so if you want to use it as a baby monitor or nanny cam it will not meet your needs. The video and panning works decent.

### 1/5 — Waste of money!!!

*2011-09-28, version 1.2*

Does not work on 3G. Waste of money!!!

### 4/5 — I Love The App So Far

*2011-07-27, version 1.2*

I just purchased this App. And it works perfectly fine I have 4 Panasonic Cameras BL-C131a and they all can be viewed any where I'm at over 3G  of course wi-fi works faster. Easy set up you can name all cameras and control them up and down and left to right. View as a list or or all cameras on screen. I personally like the list works faster. Only thing that would have earned another star is that there is no sound. Hopefully there will be an update soon. But other wise it works perfect for me. 

### 2/5 — No 3G

*2011-06-18, version 1.2*

Doesn't work over 3G which is very disappointing. What's the point of having it if you can only see when your home. If it worked over 3G it'd be 5 stars.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not working with ios12

*2018-09-18, version 1.5.4*

Don’t update to ios12 if you plan on using this app. It crashes upon open meaning the developer never updates their app to support ios12.

### 1/5 — No support for iOS 11

*2017-10-07, version 1.5.3*

Hope this is updated for iOS 11. Works great for me and not having an update is keeping me from moving to iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Worked Great For Years But Not Now

*2017-09-21, version 1.5.3*

There is no update for the latest iOS 11. Is there an update coming?

### 1/5 — Garbage, don't waste your money!

*2015-11-13, version 1.5.3*

$4.99, seriously? Not even viable as a free app.

### 1/5 — Waste of five bucks

*2015-09-27, version 1.5.3*

Does not provide the functionality for Panasonic WebCams

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2013-12-24, version 1.5.1*

All of the previous reviews talking about how antiquated and slow this app is are still correct. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Panasonic cam bl-c131

*2013-10-02*

Quality if images is poor compared with other applications so not with purchasing

### 1/5 — 2 Steps forward and 4 back !

*2013-03-29*

Firstly, having spend well over £1000 on several Panasonic cameras, I felt having to BUY an app to view them on was pretty poor in principle. Come on Panasonic, this is just MEAN. You're happy to take the money for the cameras but won't provide an app to go with them.

Good bits: (2 Forward)
1. The app remembering the passwords is a big plus. I could never work out how to do this in Safari, although it works with other websites.
2. switching between cameras is much better than using a browser, which opens a new tab each time you select a different camera from the multi-camera screen.

The bad bits: (3 Back)
1. I'm not convinced that the cameras respond quicker than in a browser. I'd say slower, marginally.
2. I can't see any way of selecting my camera's preset locations from the app, which I can do from any browser.
3. NO SOUND ! Why sound is not incorporated in the app is beyond me. It's an important point for me which is missing. Sound has always been an issue, it only seems to be available through Internet Explorer, not Chrome, Safari etc. I assumed the app would address this.

All I have really achieved is not having to input the passwords each time I go into the cameras, and I have lost other functions which I used.

Being able to record video clips from the live camera directly to your iPad photo album is neat, just not something I'll use.

UPDATE - THE LATEST VERSION OF THE APP HAS MADE ME LOSE ONE OF MY PANASONIC CAMERAS :-( IT IS CLEARLY THE NEW VERSION THAT HAS CAUSED THIS AS MY WIFE'S IPAD, WHICH I HAVE NOT YET UPDATED, STILL VIEWS ALL THE CAMERAS. ANY CHANCE OF FIXING IT ????
Review amended to be 2 steps forward and 4 back, not 3 !

### 1/5 — Could not Connect

*2012-10-03, version 1.4.2*

Worked with support (quite responsive) to try to get the app to find my cams to no avail. Back to just using view via browser.  One star because support was responsive, but could not resolve

### 1/5 — Paul

*2012-05-01*

This app does not work on a Panasonic bl c30 and you cannot get your money back!!!  Should have given it to a charity!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Please update

*2017-09-26, version 1.5.3*

We have used your app multiple times a day to check on our cabin during the latest wild fire. 
PLEASE create an update so that it will work with the new OS.
It has given us such a peace of mind to see our cabin still standing with the fire burning so close.

Please update

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2017-06-07, version 1.5.3*

I've been using this app for years and it works perfectly. I can use IP or DNS to access it. I can move it and zoom. Not sure why it has such bad reviews. It works perfectly for me and rarely freezes up. Which is more than I can say for other app I paid $$ for. Please release a 64 bit version with iOS 11!!!!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2016-12-04, version 1.5.3*

Not sure why all the negative reviews. It works perfectly for me- I can view my webcam and control it remotely. Does exactly what it says it will do. I've been using this app for years, and I love it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-11-15, version 1.5.2*

I've been using this app for a few years now. I like the versatility of the app and ease of adding new cams to the compliment. I wish the app would support audio.

### 5/5 — Great App.  Negative reviewers lack basic knowledge.

*2013-03-22, version 1.4.2*

1) If your webcam isn't exposed to the Internet (port forwarded) you won't be able to see it from any device outside your network.  No app will/can.  I can view my cams over 3G with no issues.
2) I've never had an issue connecting to my 6 Panasonic webcams that wasn't related to the configuration on the webcams themselves. 
3) Sound would be nice but try to use any browser except for IE and get sound.  You need a plugin, so the issue is more with Panasonic's implementation.
I'm very happy with this app.  Panasonic webcams are not easy to setup and it's unfair to expect a viewer app to address that.

### 5/5 — Owner

*2012-04-17, version 1.4.1*

Awesome! Exactly what our management staff needed. Easy to install. Easy to set up. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Works great!!!

*2011-01-30, version 1.1*

I love it.. works great.. all the bad reviews and i have no problem. I have 12 cams and all working great..

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2011-01-05*

If you're looking for a simple way to view one or more ip cams, this works great.  It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but that's what I like about it. It just works.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2010-12-19*

Easy to use and works perfectly with the 580 on both touch and pad. The zoom pinch function on the Touch is a little quirky, but i'm sure that will get sorted......! Would recommend buying this app.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2010-09-08, version 0*

Easy set up for Panasonic Blc131.  Had to figure out that double tap makes picture large and it takes a little practice to get the pan to work by swiping.  Way less expensive than ViewCommander for my Windows Mobile phone.
