Thank you! Excellent and easy. A quick installation of webcam on the pi and USB cam works great. Like the use of a password too. A simple setting change on the router and can now view the cam anywhere in the world.

Great Set up on tab in seconds without touching the pi. Great for camera alignment etc. Nice work, thank you!

It works well on my Nexus 7 But there are some issues: One, although H264 works well for continuous video, in the intermittent mode set for 0.1 sec/frame, I only get one frame every 1 to 2 secs. Two, it doesn't correctly remember my password, and I use a long password that is very tedious to type in with the on-screen keyboard, especially since you can't see mistakes. I'd also like to be able to address my RPi's by hostname rather than by IP and be able to turn off the automatic scan. Hostnames work well with most of my other Android network-enabled apps, 'Juice' and 'Remote Ripple' for example. Five stars if fixed! Still a great app as is. Thanks.

Crashes on opening Crashes on opening or after 5 sec. Used to be great but now is useless. Installed on Galaxy S5 with android 6.

Never connected I've tried to connect with several other apps, but this is the only one that never can connect to my pi. Using all the same credentials in SSH or putty or any other way works, but I was not once ever able to connect. (rp2, OSMC) I won't delete it yet, in hopes of it eventually working.

I want to give 5 stars but a tutorial explaining how to connect would be helpful. I have put in my ip address, but it says connection failed. My knowledge of Raspberry Pi ends soon after switching it on. Please help.

Terrible app there's a huge lag when trying to view what you intend to take aphoto of and if you change settings the view constantly reloads the view which results in a partial photo and huge white area...pointless and waste of space
