Pros and cons of uFoscam: 2way Audio & AV Record app for iPhone and iPad

uFoscam: 2way Audio & AV Record app good for

The application is easy to use, looks smart and gives some more options than for ex. Foscam Surveillance Pro (which I own already). Both have the same Price 3.99€. Unfortunately, if you want to use the “Quad-Views” you have to pay 1,59€ more and this is not mentioned when you buy (minus 1 stars!). The price then rise to 5,58€. The multi views option (4 or 6 views) is for free with Foscam Surveillance Pro. The very positiv thing is that the application is very fast, faster than the others similar I tested!
Very good app, love the functions. But DDNS not working with my Wansview cam :((
This is a simple straight forward app very easy to set up and unlike several others I have used works first time on various cameras. Only app I can get to work with Foscam F18921. I have deleted all other apps
Easy set up,very functional- have used many cam apps-this is the best, great support.
Ive tried a number of foscam apps and this is by far the best one.
Just what I wanted. Wish options were more intuitive though as well as recording path.

Some bad moments

Was trying to use the camera with a FI8608W. The image is grainy on ipad, uses the low qual stream, it is NOT 2 way and a bunch of buttons dont work. Wont answer support email. Advice for the developer: make a list of what features work for which camera and disable buttons that shouldnt work.
Is not totally compatible with Foscam F18921W. It doesnt support H264 (HD) only MJPEG (SD). The image is very poor and looks zoomed in and distorted. The reason I bought the F18921W was for a high res image and unfortunately this app only delivers a low quality image with it.
Our uFoscam was hacked into the other night. Our camera was playing weird music, panning by itself. Please look online for other reviews before you buy. What happened to us is pretty common. I wish I could warn people to not get the baby monitor version of this. There were some pretty horrible accounts of mans voice yelling through the baby monitor.
I followed the Support link and all you get is setup info. At the bottom of the page it says Contact us - but gives absolutely no contact info. After recently upgrading Foscam firmware (model FI9826P) the app returns with Network error (103). How about updating this to a version that works?
I used this app for a long time. Its good app, but since I installed IOS 7 its not possible to open it because do not accept the initial password. Please upgrade app. Thanks
No significant change again with this version with yet more unspecified "enhanced performance." Same problems with FI9805W/E as described below. The developer has fixed the issue of H.264 HD camera video flickering at the bottom of the frame. Unfortunately this fix is limited only to when the user is viewing the camera in single camera mode. When using multi-camera mode, the frame still flashes at the bottom. The aspect just needs to be stretched to fit the feed in multi-camera mode for H.264 cams. The sound graph at the bottom of the frame is not a useful feature to me, but perhaps for others it is. In summary, once they fix the ongoing video flickering problem with the H.264 cams in multi-view (all other apps Ive tried do not have this problem) this will be a great app. I had hoped this multi-view video aspect problem is resolved in a future update, but after months and months of waiting... no more updates/fixes. This may be it. App works fine with SD cameras. INAPPROPRIATE: Developer notes that new release resets feedback and asks for 5 star ratings--why, to erase negative feedback? 5 star ratings must be earned, not requested.
