Does not work with OnePlus 12R
camera connects to my iPhone and pixel 6A, but not my 12R.
Con
I deleted the app to access my bank app as I don’t trust it and when I redownloaded it I now can’t access their WiFi in order to use it - absolute scam don’t give them access to you phone !
Does what it should
Purchased endoscope that required this app to use. It was easy to install, and functioned as it should to take photos and video. It provides a few simple options to control exposure, zoom, flip, bw, and side by side pics.
Unlike reports from some reviewers, it did not ask to connect to my WiFi, or collect data. It stored its pictures and videos in its own directory sandbox. If you want to transfer photos or videos to your camera roll, you have to grant it access. Or you can optionally transfer them to another app or file folder without granting access permissions.

Caution
As mentioned in another post, you must connect to your home network which should not be required for a device like this. Remember where the device was manufactured and consider where your personal data is going. I and sending this back.
Steals data
Won't allow you to use the app without allowing it to connect to other devices on your network? Why? Why isn't wifi enough? I never allowed it and it's being returned. I'm sure there are Chinese companies cyphering off our info all the time, but when faced with the choice, I'm not going to blindly hand it over. Seriously, why does this Chinese app need to "build a profile" of me?
Here, I'll save you the trouble. This is what Apple says, according to their website:
In iOS 14 or later and iPadOS 14 or later, any app that wants to interact with devices on your network must ask for permission the first time that it tries to browse your local network.
The app developer can customize the message to explain why the app would like access. For example, a game might want to find and connect to other players on the same network. Or a streaming app might be looking for a connected display.
Apps that access your local network can collect information about nearby devices in order to determine which networks you join and when. This information could be used to create a profile of you.
Tap Allow to grant the app access to your local network.
If you don’t want to allow access, or if it’s not clear to you why the app needs access, you can tap Don’t Allow. The app can still use the internet or interact with the local network using a system service, like AirPrint, AirPlay, AirDrop, or HomeKit.
At any time, you can allow or revoke an app's access to the local network: In Settings, go to Privacy & Security* > Local Network to see a list of every app that requested access.
If you're concerned about why an app wants access to your local network or how access is used, you can also contact the app developer for more information.
*In earlier versions of iOS and iPadOS, this setting is called "Privacy."

Steals your data
Buyer beware. The software asks you to allow access to all of your photos and data. It also asks you to have a Wi-Fi and cellular data connection and tells you that it is reporting the data to the factory in China. I would be very careful with this.
Needs a mirror option
App works well, it would be nice to see an option to flip the video
Handy camera accessory
Bought this camera for fairly cheap online, followed the brief instructions and had it running in no time. The picture will look blurry if you don’t take the plastic lens cap off, but after that this thing is great. App will take photos and videos and doesn’t steal your data. Not sure how truly HD the images are, but they’re pretty sharp for such a small camera and will help you see what’s going on in tight spaces.

Works fine for iPhone 13 Pro
Connected right up via wifi and did the job. To address the blurriness issue mentioned elsewhere, there is a protective cap that should be removed before use. Picture quality is fine on my device.
Corrected review.
IOS 15. This does connect to their network, bit the image is extremely blurry and wiping the lens did not improve it.
