Foscam Viewer App Reviews

Cant add a camera. It does not appear to see either of my two cameras. Quite useless on the iPad.

Worked well with iOS 8.4 with some minor glitches. Does not work with iOS 9. Cameras will load but app will shut down after 2-5 minutes. This is not acceptable for camera monitoring. Please fix this soon!!!!

Please fix that, it seems foscam doesnt care about his customers

Cheap Chinese garbage. Software upgrades to the cameras usually screw up the camera. Ecosystem not well supported. Software very buggy. Had to fix cameras several times. If you want a hobby camera, this is Ok. If you want a reliable security system, invest in a better more reliable product. Wish I could return my 4 cameras. Junk

I have been using this app since my two year old was born with his wireless camera. The app works great, never have any complaints. Very handy to have all the movement controls on my smartphone

After the last update ı cant view my cameras at my ıphone. Always login fail message. Please help me

Aplikacja w trybie podglądu na żywo działa bardzo dobrze. Jedyną poważną wadą jest brak dostępu do nagrań na karcie SD kamery. Szkoda, bo byłby wtedy kompletny system monitoringu, bez konieczności używania komputera. The application in live view mode works very well. The only major drawback is the lack of access to the recordings on the camcorder SD card. It is a pity, because it would then complete monitoring system, without using a computer.

Unfortunately, began to crash on iOS9...

This was a great App. After the updates I can no longer view my cameras away from home. Always says connect fail. When Im in my home it works via wifi only. I had to download another app in order to view away from home

I figured out that if I used 4 character user name I was able to move and use the cruise options. And Only on P2P UID option. If I used a 5 character or more user name it doesnt work. FOSCAM please fix this bug!!!!!!! Please update for iOS 9. This is bad

NEEDS ANUPDATE!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

Crashes with iOS 9 all versions. Frustrating

The app no longer works for more than 30 seconds on iOS 9 or later, needs immediate attention.

Farts out at 2 min 30 seconds with newest version and iOS 9. Can no longer rely on it if it wont stay connected since I use it as a baby monitor.

Add me to the list of users reporting crashes after 15-30 seconds since the iOS 9 update. I now have to use a third party app that lacks some of the essential controls.

Ever since we updated to the new iOS on our iPad and iPhone the app will not stay open. It stays open for a minute maybe two then closes. We use the cameras for baby monitors and sometimes we need it open longer. Until this, we loved the app!

Im another user who is experiencing a crash after updating to iOS 9. It happens on two different versions of the app too. Still crashing... Please fix ASAP!!!

Overall it gets the job done quite well but needs motion detection on/off capability. There are numerous compliments about Foscam cameras and the EZ setup and generally the cameras are an excellent choice for homes or small businesses. Why does Foscam completely ignore the many requests for a simple ON/OFF SWITCH FOR MOTION DETECTION IN THE VIEWER APP ? Why cant you you simple say you are working on it ! Or you cant do it for whatever reason ? Say something to your many faithful clients, they deserve that much. You cant just sell cameras/hardware and walk away $. Respectfully , please update or say something to the many clients who support you and your continued growth . Act responsible. Attn: Other developers you can make a fortune if you could develop and easy to use app for these cameras and an on/off switch for motion detection. Users would pay for such an app.

Pretty much everything the others are saying is so very true. The App functions well with camera movement, snapshots & infrared controls. The biggest mess is NOT being able to turn motion detection On/Off via the app to avoid getting 100 emails when you are home. Long overdue!!!

Cannot view once off wifi connection. All these Foscam apps are horrible. They want you to either pay monthly or just dont work. Pointless to have unless you want to watch it 2 feet from your camera! Pretty much wasted money on a IP camera thats worthless..
