Reviews

It works, but it does have latency.
dcsmoth2000

Simple to install and configure. However, it had about 1 second of latency on a iPhone 8 Plus into vMix with wireless router just a few feet away-no other traffic. App bandwidth settings don’t matter.


Request to REFUND
jk woong

It has big problem with using for me. When I tried to use this app for streaming before it was not work goodly. Connection wasn’t stable. Especially, This app just only can use Wi-Fi I coulnd’t using through desk top situation Please refund for me


Gives us camera selection
Ninos iPhone

It would be nice to have options to select what lens to use from wide angle to tele lens on iPhones.


Works Well, Lacks Features
lockergnome

99% of the time it works all the time, but that’s not why this review matters. Auto-focus doesn’t lock properly, you can’t switch between various lenses on the front or rear cameras (like, you cannot use your wide angle lenses at all), white balance is a nightmare / non-existent, you can’t lock exposure properly, and updates are very few and far between. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Wide angle support

It should take advantage of the wide angle lens on newer iPhones.


Game changer
Dj pdogg

I have been using this app for almost a year now. I use it to film podcasts and other online events. I love using the NDI plugins to run through OBS and I even use them to broadcast to Zoom. Thanks guys.


Resolution is too low

It Works
Slon104

Hello. Like this product :) it is good for normal people I am using obs with 3 phones. all have this app.. and as I use an haswel laptop I have some problems with cpu usage and HW accelerated decode is not helping that mouth …. just wish to have more options in video quality output… 3 quality presets is not enough for me :) the app has really not great support for an notches on the phone - is looking really hideous it is reliable app ;) hope this app gets som love from designers and developers :))) right now just 3 stars sorry


I like this app but…
EjGuardian

I love the idea of NDI. Still the best and easiest way to broadcast wirelessly within a network. However I don’t see why the screen needs to remain on during broadcasting, and needless draining the phone or tablets battery. DroidCam which is a similar product allows the screen to be shut off. If I need to review the "scene" I can tap the screen to turn it on. Otherwise I’m at another location viewing the camera from my encoder (VMix) and don’t need the phone discharging faster than necessary.
