ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mobile Security Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 67% of IP Cam Viewer Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mobile Security Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
