Really needs a longer refresh interval. Every minute is the longest setting and is too frequent for a lot of uses.

This app gets a lot of things right, out of the gate. But it feels a bit like it did that and got the recognition on some big website names, and then hasn’t kept up with modern features of the last few years. Why do we not have lock screen icons or control center icons to quickly launch the app from either of those 2 places? And why no widgets? Also, you offer dark. mode icons on iPhone and iPad but macOS now has dark mode icons in Tahoe 26 but your icon is still a bright yellow icon in dark mode and could use a dark mode icon badly. :) Would love if you push a few of these features in for those of us that would use them. Thanks.

Creating a useful app, with a one-time purchase, is what made the App Store great from the start.

It’s great to see a developer continuing in this tradition.

This app used to be very slow, now it is phenomenal. I have 15 cameras around my house perimeter and when I open this app, I click on a camera and it IMMEDIATELY comes up with no lag. Great app for viewing all of your cameras with Live View.
JoeHeyyyy • Mar 6, 2025
App only lets you completely mute or un-mute cameras. I like to have the audio in the background at a low volume while I use my Mac for other things, but the camera background noise is deafening because the cameras are either completely muted or full volume along with whatever else I am doing on my Mac. Really limits usefulness of the app.

not work

Great app, I’ve been using it years now. Easiest way to view multiple feeds at once.
The Sobriety • Nov 3, 2024
There’s used to be a widget i could put in my “today view” I think that’s what it’s called, and I could view all my cameras on my homepage basically. Where did it go? Why remove?
I igbfbapwbt • Sep 21, 2024
Update: thanks for the reply, bummer Apple removed the capability! Hopefully a new widget could at least display a recent snapshot if not a live feed.

Original review: iOS 18 took away some of the widgets when swiping to the left of the lockscreen or homescreen. I used to have homecam here. Would be nice if homecam could update to put its widgets in this area

This app DON’T OPEN CAMERAS FROM OTHER APPS THAT NOT COMPATIBLE TO HOMEKIT. I immediately requested a refund and they don’t provide one. Seems like scam or misleading on purpose. Give me back my money.
Sup yo! • Aug 16, 2024
I don't understand all good reviews about this app. I did not work for me, it did not detect any of the cameras. It just a waste of money.

I guess I didn’t realize this app was just repackaging what HomeKit was already failing at. Same basically non visibility with this app as I have with HomeKit so I donated $8.00 to the cause. Had the app less than 2 hours.

This is an awesome application for viewing multiple cameras look amazing on my Apple TV! It even pops up when someone is in your camera range. And it’s so easy to edit the camera setup very easily,

Couldn’t live without this App, along with the Apple TV

The screen turns off unless you keep touching it. Not helpful for baby monitors at night time. Could you fix that?
renatolezama • Jun 12, 2024
Cameras don’t always connect.
Why aren’t apps refundable when they don’t work?
