PHYCAM for Android
Based on a batch of bad reviews around Oct, 2015, it sounds like this app had a rocky past, but v2.1.0 is working fine for me. I can view my camera stream from my home wifi and on 4G LTE just fine.
Not bad, but it needs to connect wirelessly to 5G and not just 2G to the router. Can be sluggish at times but at most times it's ok.
Works adequately but it would be nice if it was possible to (a) flick through captured photos without always having to go back to the list, and (b) zoom on photos. Samsung galaxy s6
The app connects to the camera every time without fail.
No freaking way to turn off just the sound of the notifications?? Unbelievable...
This app is terrible. It's sluggish and it cannot connect to wifi. My phylink camera is supposed to have wireless connectivity, but if you can't configure it, then it's virtually useless.
It won't connect remotely (maybe only 20% of the time) and it won't allow me to delete photos and videos off the SD card through the app
Works well for viewing on the go and getting notifications. It's nice that you can connect to your home cameras with no fancy IP or DMZ configuration, it just works. Would be nice to have the same settings the web interface has. Did not work on Android 6 Dev build but the Oct 15 update fixed that. THANK YOU!! Bumping up to 5 stars since Android 6 support was added.
Samsung Galaxy S5 - I cant get a connection at all manually or wirelessly for my new camera. Bummed that I have to return it if this app isnt fixed soon.
Agree with the previous post, the new automatic update has changed everything and will not let me view the camera I have set up, any time I click to view the live feed, the app ceases to work and closes by itself. Very poor as was working perfectly before update. I would like some support for this.
This update made it not work anymore
Used to work quite well for me, but now it crashes when you start it
It is missing a ton of the features that are on the Web server on the camera. Connects pretty quickly and the image is pretty good though.
Works great. Would like to have a multi-view screen which shows live feeds from more than one camera link in the PC app. Buying PHYLINK cameras to replace LogiTech Alert cameras which have been discontinued.

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about but since I installed this a couple months ago, it has worked fine. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that the app ONLY works in portrait view UNLESS you view a snapshot or video and then it switches to landscape. I'd rather have the entire app be landscape if I choose so when going back and forth between the video/photo list, I don't have to keep switching my phone from portrait to landscape- ridiculous the way it is set up now.
