Pros and cons of Foscam Surveillance Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Foscam Surveillance Pro app good for

Works good with my 3 cameras. Updates come regularly with new IOSs. Many handy functions.
Very easy to set up, user friendly and consistent. Perhaps not the cheapest, but so far Im happy with the performance.
Much better than FoscamPro. Have some new features and is compatible with my 4 ipcams, that are not from Foscam!
User friendly. Better than the original Foscam App. Recommended.
This is one of the best app for IPcam I ever used and keep on using. I just desire it can be more compatible with other IPcam vendors such as DLink and Axis. Rgs Eduardo Campos
I use it daily to check on my home. Works perfect - I wish my Hootoo Camera would be as reliable as the App. Keep on with the good work.

Some bad moments

5€ spent on this useless app...only works when im in front of the cam...4G, new iphone 5, one of the best foscam cam...nothing....dont buy this app...just a waste of Time !!
Works with mpeg (Foscam FI891X series). Not working with h264 (FI8608W). Cant change order of my cameras. Should point for what LiveCams Pro is delivering. Im expecting more updates. Its a nice app (useful), but Im expecting more for U$ 5.
I have a FI9826W. The camera works perfectly using my mac or windows PC; This app works for maximum two minutes; afterwards, I get a black picture and reconnecting to the camera doesnt work until the app is closed and reopened again. I tried changing video resolution and a lot of other things, but this app is useless for being used as a serious surveillance app. I want my money back!
Only works every now and again. Most times will not load images from cameras though settings are correct.
Suddenly stopped working, user forum doesnt exist, troubleshooting options are limited, support is nil...and to upgrade it is now $6.99...what about the app I already paid for?!
I was happy with the old app, so I paid for this new version expecting it to be better. Instead, I found 2 problems: 1. It is not as forgiving with camera support. One of my cameras is a Foscam-clone (TenvisJPT3815W) which worked fine using Foscam 8918W setting on the old app. It gets hung on querying camera controls on this new app. 2) if listening to another apps audio, the old app would allow the audio to play, unless you explicitly turned on the camera audio. The new audio always interrupt other audio, even when cameras are muted. This forces me to stop listened, while peeking at a camera, then switch back to the other app and restart my music/audiobook. The user support for this is poor; yet, they beg you to not write negative reviews.
