Foscam Viewer

Seriously... this isn't fixed yet? It can't be that hard.... and no update to app in how long? I don't want to use your other app which is even worse than this. Fix the startup issue(s) and this app is just fine. The does mostly everything I want it to do. The one thing that will make or break this app at anytime is the time it takes to use it (start it up). I agree with the others that say the new splash screen needs to be removed. And more importantly, the app should auto connect to the four cameras I tell it to or had last viewed/set. It takes way too long to launch the app, then go and manually click on the cameras I want to look at. It seems that if I do that and close the app and go back in a short time later it works fine but after a longer time, like a few hours or overnight, I have to select the cameras again. Not useful for needing to look at something quickly in the middle of the night. I would give it 5 stars instead of 2, it the cameras were selected correctly each time

For years, this has been the only genuine Foscam app which allows you to view four cameras at once on your iPhone or iPad. One of its biggest advantages is its ability to use P2P technology to connect to your cameras. With P2P, you're not required to do all the technical work of setting up your cameras and your router to do port-forwarding. It's been a very useful app, even though Foscam has decided to stop supporting it or updating it. For remote viewing, this app continues to fit my needs however, it could desperately use some maintenance and bug fixes. The new app Foscam came out with to replace this one is total garbage, and simply useless. Their new app can only view one camera at a time and it's painfully slow & unreliable. My Foscam equipment is totally useless without this app functioning properly. I'm not sure why Foscam decided to abandon this app. In conclusion, Foscam is not a reliable, professional security solution, as indicated by their abandonment of this app. I would recommend against purchasing any of their products to anyone considering it. Low quality equipment and poor customer service is all Foscam has to offer. I really wish they would reconsider their decision to abandon this app. With a few upgrades and bug fixes, this would easily be a 5 star app.

1-Left app open on phone ( in drawer- not even watching) at work for a couple of hours & ended up with $100 bill from cell phone company because it couldn't connect to wifi & used cellular data. Make sure to go into settings, cellular, foscam & turn off its ability to use cellular data. 2- new app has trouble connecting remotely
