Review summary

Users appreciate the app's compatibility with some Foscam clone cameras and the intended zoom feature, but many criticize it for poor support of dynamic IP addresses, displaying only a black screen instead of the camera feed, and intrusive ads that hinder usability. Important functions like motion detection alerts and zoom often fail, leading to frustration among technically inclined users.

Pros

Works perfectly with certain Foscam clone cameras like Kogan.
Offers a zoom option (though its functionality is questionable according to some users).
App allows identification of cameras via IP address.

Cons

Does not support dynamic DNS or dynamic IP addresses, limiting usability.
App shows only a black screen with arrows instead of camera feed for many users.
Adverts are intrusive, sometimes locking up the app and making it unusable.
Key features like zoom and motion detection email alerts do not work reliably.
Some users report app crashes and inability to close screens after multiple attempts.
