=== What sort of app do you need? ===
Please refer to https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Standalone_Zm_Frontends

====If you need to control Zoneminder from the app ====

* The very best ;-) app is zmNinja. I've open sourced it. Works great for iOS and Android, but you need the ZM APIs installed

https://github.com/pliablepixels/zmNinja

Till then:

You unfortunately don't have too many options:

* Use ZM's web interface directly - use either the classic or flat skin. As of March 2015, the mobile skin seems incompletely implemented. The disadvantage of the classic/flat screen is every tap results in a new browser window. The mobile skin keeps every thing in one screen, but it does not implement various screens (such as events :p)

* It seems there was/is an app called [http://www.eyezm.com EyeZM]. It does not seem to exist in the app store at all for iOS (US). So I never got to try it

* There is another app called [https://itunes.apple.com/app/id948351730 ZMView]. The good part is it works quite well. The 'not good' part is its interface is upolished. If you like good UX, this app has a long way to go. I'd also recommend you buy the "pro" version for $3.99. I like supporting developers and it also takes away the ads at the bottom. It also has an Android version. If you want mobile control of ZM, this is really the only valid option as the mobile skin is incomplete and the regular skins are not mobile friendly.

==== If you only need to monitor your cameras and directly perform operations on them (and not ZM) ====

I am an Apple user, so I can't speak for Android, but I'll say this:

* There is absolutely no app that comes close to [http://tinysolutionsllc.com TinyCam Monitor]. It's slick, very fast, and feature rich. I saw it with a friend and was hugely impressed

* For iOS my app of choice is something called [http://tinysolutionsllc.com BabyMonitor]. Its by the same folks who make Tinycam, but its more limited, but still the best. Too bad its called "Baby Monitor" and has baby pictures as its icon and placeholder images --> if you can deal with that, its great

* I've also bought and used:

Foscam Surveillance Pro

Foscam Pro

LiveCams Pro

CamViewer

** and a bunch of others that I don't even remember.

LiveCam pro was not bad and I used it for 3 years till I discovered Baby Monitor and found it to be better/faster/prettier
