SlothCam3.44

The developer, Jackson Myers, after getting more details of the problem from me, sent a newer version to test. It fixed the problem I was having, and he'll release it as version 3.2 I'm raising the overall rating to 4 stars. I misses the 5-th star only because the configuration options on the back pane (and the UI*) aren't as self-explanatory as they could be, and "Reset Preferences" gives no warning that you'll lose all the URLs you've added to the list of webcams. * For example, did you know that left- and right-arrow will advance the image to the previous/next camera on your list? I haven't seen it documented anywhere and only discovered it by chance!

I just wanted to let everybody know that there is now an iOS version of SlothCam for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. You can find it on the iTunes App Store, or find more info at http://www.jackson-myers.com

OK I admit for what it is (Free) It is Ok but it is missing The cams I liked the best and that I think were popular with a lot of users, Friday's WebCam,Las Vegas wedding Chapel which had some interesting moments.I think that EarthCam as the author stated pulled out these. I guess they wanted MONEY!

The only way I could see that happening would be if the image file is large enough to take up that kind of bandwidth even though Slothcam is only requesting the image once per minute.

thank you and mary xmas.

This is great. A widget that's actually useful since my friends use it to monitor their kids at various day care centers with the tap of a button. I'd like to see one tiny feature added though, when you mouse over the image a small left pointing arrow would appear letting you flip back 10 or so images to see what's happened that you've missed. Maybe have this number user definable.

OMG give yourself a pat on th back. best widget of the all.

This is literally one of the best written and certainly best supported widgets out there period. I'm stunned at how fast and well the developer listens to his reviews and comments!

This is my window to the world... thnx

Me = Happy.

Feature rich, but developer needs to slow down releases as just about every time a new feature is added, another release follows a few days later with a bugfix involving the newly-added feature. I'd much rather have less frequent updates which were better tested. Another gripe with the current version is that when you flip the widget to get at the controls, the back appears lower on screen and a different size and style than the front. The interface in general could do with a bit of thought and design. Still the best webcam widget I've found so far!

I'd still like text labels at the bottom of each window :)

Just a reference to a post I made with DoppleViewer 1.4 As posted to DoppleViewer 1.4 "Sorry Charlie. This is a neat widget but no more different than a webcam viewer. I went to the National weather service. http://www.crh.noaa.gov I put in my City and pulled up the Short Range Reflectivity. I copied the Image address. I then pasted it into the SlothCam Widget. This sounds like no big deal but when I did this I realized that the SlothCam Widget was updating the images before the images on the National Weather Service website. I had one image that was available 6 minutes before it was available on the website. http://www.crh.noaa.gov This is no slight to DoppleViewer 1.4 or any other version. I just though people may be interested in this. Perhaps you could add when we want it to update. Otherwise I will be using my SlothCam to view this and alos in almost full screen. Thanks." I love my SlothCam keep up the good work! You have improved on everthing I wished for.

New version is very nice, but now i can't seem to find the "i" to flip it. I although think it needs a nicer looking icon. Pretty much perfect otherwise.

I'm working on a resizable version of slothcam, but I'm not sure if it's ready for release yet. Please head over to my webpage and check out the beta, and let me know what you think.

great great widget, but probably the worst icon in the world also it would be great if the border were drop shadow or if the border could be dropped altogether resizing would be nice too good work!

You could make 2 more types. One 1/2 the size of the original and 1 double the size of the original. I currently can get 20 Sloth cams on my G5 20 inch screen. Sure would be nice to get 40 1/2 size sloth cams or 10 large size sloth cams on my screen. Hint, Hint then this would be AWESOME!!!! or make it resizeable from the user if that is possible.

Hate the icon, love the widget. I have a traffic cam in this widget, and it refreshes at an interval I set. A one trick pony--but a pretty cool trick.

Love this website..very original..I am a bif fan of Che Slothera!

Very nice! I wonder why Apple didn't release their version... Wish it had a nicer window though.
