Leave a Review iVCam Webcam
I like it and use it often
My biggest problem with the iVCam app is when it sends the camera feed from my phone pro Max over to my computer it gets slightly fuzzy. It’s not the 4K quality my phone is capable of, and it’s not just the high resolutions that do it, it’s any size 1080p 720p they’re all really fuzzy I know it’s not that big of a deal but it just feels like it’s not the quality of the phone :/ other than that I completely love this app! Stream with it all the time.Show lessBoSsEbLaZiN
Disappointed with microphone app
The camera app works very well. If you are using the application with a professional purpose such as a live presentation make sure you have the full application. The free app comes with advertisements that can pop up an ruin your carefully prepared presentation. THE FULL iVCam APP IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. It will deliver a lot of value on your small investment. HOWEVER, don’t attempt to download the portion of the app that enables your phone as microphone as well. It totally ruined live my presentation. My audience couldn’t hear me. I was lucky that someone in the audience shared that they could here a voice saying “trial something”. It took me for ever to realize the problem was the e2eSoft mic application. I was still live while dealing with the microphone technical issues. My presentation started 30 minutes late. It was VERY EMBARRASSING. DO NOT ATTEMP TO USE THE MICROPHONE APPLICATION e2eSoft.Show lessGuillermiz
Works perfectly
I can’t appreciate this app enough. Under coronavirus circumstances, I have to work from home. I put my laptop on a stand with connection to an external monitor, making the built-in webcam facing the wrong direction....I was thinking about buying a webcam so people can see my face over virtual meetings, but I just can justify to throw down money for something expected to be only useful for this period of time—-until I found this app! Works as intended. Free version has ads pops up periodically ON YOR PHONE ONLY, not impeding the webcam function on the computer side, so no bother to me at all. Highly recommended.Show lessMerak1
Video works great... still figuring out audio
This app has been really helpful for me because I usually keep my laptop shut — I project to two screens, so I’m unable to use the built-in web cam on my laptop for video conferences without moving everything on my desk around. However, I still have to use the laptop mic to speak, and tried downloading the audio add-in for this app, but it’s only a trial version.Show lessjkolling
Simply surprised
this app just works as long as u know the settings u want u can change anything, even video encoder format which is perfect.
The only problem is that rarely the display on the phone goes blank, still works, but I can’t change any settings. My guess is that a few of the adds are interfering with the function of the app. But I works perfectly once u restart the app.Show lessPhoendro
Overheats and kills battery
The paid version of this app works great and has lots of useful functions, except for you cannot use it very long because it either kills your battery or overheats and shuts down. I have tried on two different devices and got the same result.
When plugged into usb, latency is almost zero but it drains battery faster than usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 can provide. When using wifi while plugged into the wall, the device gets so hot it eventually errors out and shuts down after about an hour.
Not sure what to do at this point because it works well and I want to use it for long periods, but cannot. Any developer thoughts on how to fix the power consumption on this app?Show lessJeff hutt
I really liked the app, but!!
Like the headline says. I really liked the app. Very responsive. Good quality of video. Although, I would recommend good lighting to improve the quality of the white balance and light capture. I was streaming out of the batt I’m 1080pm using OBS with two cameras (phones). Computer app was working flawlessly. I really like it and will continue using it. The down side here and the reason I don’t give 5 stars is related to the payment. I paid the 9.99 full version. Based on the information here. This app is compatible with family sharing. Meaning that I should not have to pay 9.99 for each device as long as they are under my family sharing. I would restore the purchase but, but still get the ads and watermark. I had to pay an extra 9.99 for it to go away on my other iCloud account. So that is already 20$ dollars. The only reason I paid it. Is because it is a fraction of the price of a good webcam or digital camera.
Still you get the quality. I would say it is even better. Lots of things can be done with it. The app does what it promises. It is a good one to use and easy. I recommend it.Show lessbrosnet

Sorry but Apple doesn't support family sharing for in-app purchases...Pay $9.99 to unlock the 5 star rating
I wish this was stated more clearly before purchasing. The initial $8 was for a trial version of the app. I was shocked to find out that a paid app was not considered the full version.
I was hit with the infamous rate 5 stars in order to get my old function of flipping the camera back, which is silly. Shortly after I was notified that my trial had ended and I would need to pay an additional $9 to get the full version. I ended up doing so, because I do enjoy the app. It seems that the watermark and the ads have disappeared so that’s great.
The app works well enough for me and I enjoy the user interface. I just wish there was a separate free trial version and a full paid version in one transaction. I feel cheated on after the first transaction, because it was not made clear that the first purchase was for a trial. Other than that, the full version seems to be working well. USB connection works as long as you have itunes downloaded. I also recommend having Ivcam open on the iphone first before opening ivcam on pc to avoid some weird black screen issue.Show lessOhmybobsaget

Sorry that we made a mistake, please contact us in app, or ask Apple for a refund, thanks.Pretty good, but a little secretive
I have only used it for a couple hours, but it seems to work with OBS. I paid for it, but there are still pop ups. Stopped letting me change camera lenses until I left a review. I have a good internet connection and router so it can stream 1080p 30fps well, but there seems to be a slight lag (expected - no sweat). About the same amount of lag over USB.
Update: Trial expired for the PC Client so it only works in SD and with a watermark. The app plus the client is more expensive than Camera for OBS. It’s not a bad app, but they weren’t upfront about this and I needed it mainly for OBS. Generally wouldn’t recommend because of this.
Update2: Realized $16 to use my existing phone as a better webcam than a $100 Logitech USB webcam isn’t a bad deal, especially after seeing the competition’s reviews. I would give this 5 stars but they should have been more upfront about the double purchase ($8 app plus full ad-free $8 client).Show lessjmprod

A bit annoyed at that it initially is free download that works, then a week later it locks features that were working fine and requires a 5 star rating to unlock them again for use, and then becomes a trial. I wouldn’t be annoyed if this was stated up front that it is a two week trial without the seeming deception of “free” that most websites pointing to it say because they use it for 10 mins unlocked, write their review and then delete it before this junk happens.
I also am not in the web development business, so I don’t know the struggles of this field. Sometimes underhanded and deceitful tactics are used because there is no other option for success and that makes me sad.
Anyway, I’ve tried a bunch of other webcam software apps and this one just works with minimal effort compared to others that seemingly required programming skills to set up that I couldn’t figure out and don’t have much patience lately. That annoys me too.Show lessKingBrewMonkey
