Trouble with connecting and panning
By HurricaneGap (Pcmac user)
While I like the layout of the app, there are some real problems with its functionality. Note than I am able to view and control my remote Foscams just fine using the ie plugin that came with the cameras, and another vendor's home automation app on my iphone. The HD2 Pro app has proven to be buggy and unreliable. It will connect with a camera, and in a matter of seconds the camera disconnects. I have to send a command for the camera to pan in those few seconds in order to get a long-term stream. Panning is very glitchy. The cameras move in fits and starts. It seems that if I try to pan a camera just a short distance when it is anywhere but near either end of its travel, it will continue panning on its own to the extreme end of its travel as though I had kept my finger on the pan button for an extended period (I have the speed set on slow). The sound doesn't appear to be coming through consistently, either. I wish the app had a failover capability so I could use the app while I'm on the same lan as the cameras. Overall, Im not pleased with the app and would not recommend it.

Simply the best
By Alphaman64 (Pcmac user)
I've tried several apps with my the app webcams, and this app has consistently and regularly improved. When I first started using it, one of my cameras wasn't even supported, while a couple were poorly supported. In just the past 6 months of use, not only are they now fully supported, the app has steadily improved in functionality, steaming, and stability. I'll give it 5 stars just because this is how apps are supposed to be updated, though it deserves 5 stars for its features, too!

I will NOT recommend
By Archiedg (Pcmac user)
I was using a free software from the app and I thought I should buy one since I have been using the app cameras to monitor our home a lot of times. I was very disappointed with this software from Convenience. First, it is VERY difficult to connect cameras. As compared to the simple steps from the app. Second and most important, the connection is intermittent. I was suspecting that it was my internet connection so I tried to check using the free version from the app. And every time I failed to connect with the camera using the software from Convenience, I would try the other software and I would be able to connect without any hassle at all. To be honest, I think the free software from the app is worth $4.99 and this should be free.

Useful enough
By npaler01 (Pcmac user)
We use this app quite often. It cuts out from time to time and I don't know if it's the camera or the app. I give it 5 stars because I'm pretty sure it's the camera(s).
The controls and all are good. It freaks out when multiple devices are using it to the same camera, but then again, that's probably a camera fault and not the app.
Overall, it's good. I haven't found anything better at least (paid or free).
