Massive improvement with most recent upgrade
Looking forward to further improvements in the future. This thing beats switcher studio out of the water, and I highly recommend it to any of my fellow vloggers/youtubers/newscasters out there. You won't regret it. I have my own multi camera pro setup in my home, with a green screen and this app across various iOS running devices as well as a chroma key virtual studio background, all imported through OBS Studio on a PC for rendering power and audio mixing then finally through MimoLive (formerly BoinxTV) for an rtmp outstream to all of the usual streaming places (periscope, YouTube live, Facebook live, my own site, twitch etc). Plus with the Mimolive I'm able to overlay my own personalized lower thirds/chirons/ticker tape, logo overlays, and even integrated on video chat thru twitter hashtags or tweets sent to a designated account. So yeah, it's highly recommended!Show lessMichael Robert Dolgon
So much fun
I really enjoy this app. Great creative advantage over more expensive equipment!ll2047

How about some instructions
This app seems to work after the latest update - step-by-step instructions would help since one device needs to be set up as director - but the icons and set up are confusingbillyzero
App Not Working
Won't capture video. Worst app I've bought.Quecee55
PURE DOO DOO
I've never been more disappointed with anything I've ever purchased before in my life. Support people never responded. The app didn't open or work. When the app opened none of the buttons work. No directions/instructions. No FAQs. If it's thinking or calibrating or loading there's nothing that indicates any such thing. I literally could never get the thing to work. A complete waste of money do not buy. When you open it it's literally just a black screen with the logo there are five icons under the logo none of them explain a freaking thing. I never give reviews, but I took the time to review this one because it absolutely was the biggest disappointment of my life!Show lessBigballsEW
Super Fab
Tried this when it first came out and loved the idea. But picture/resolution quality was poor and connections were flakey. Now with better iPad camera lenses and a new update this is really very cool. The interface is so intuitive. Great job!julianc
Truly a solution for sports video
I record sports for my teams and I do all different angles. This product has made it so easy to control all angles and deliver highlights a few minutes after they happen. I also love that you can export clips separately and edit on your own.
I'm leaving a star open so the developer does some additional options that would make my life complete. Lol.Show lessDinkyMudHelmets
Had a good time with this
I used this app as an experiment covering someone singing the national anthem at a local park event in Brooklyn. I had 3 people download the app on their iPhone 4S and I downloaded it onto mine as well. I also downloaded it onto my iPad. I brought a small generator to the park and plugged in my Airport network box and created a network there. Had each phone connect and the app worked great. The phones linked up easy for me, the cuts looked great.
My issues arose when it came to sound. I positioned the cameras in various positions around the field I was on. I had 2 close up one wide and one in a cut away lock off position showing the field. I had the iPad as the director station and everything seemed ok until we realized the audio gets taken from whichever phone is live. So the cameras that were closer to singing were way too loud, the wide was great, and the cutaway was too low. There seemed to also be a millisecond drop out in audio between cuts.
I would recommend using a laptop and recording continuous audio if you plan on doing anything with phones scattered covering one subject.
I spoke with developer via emails and they were very helpful to me. They explained their plans for advancement, understood that it's a work in progress (and a very cool work may I add), agreed to the issues I saw and were very open to informing me of other issues they've discovered that they're currently fixing. I work in the film industry and also cover concerts and live events and if I wanted pro I'd obviously do the full camera package with HD truck route, but that's not what we're talking here. This isn't for filming something that will be broadcast on network television, this is an app that creates a new creative way to make videos on your phone.
I'm looking forward to the upgrades and hopefully an option to record audio on the directors station instead of from each phone as a continuous track. Keep up the good work!Show lessPma123
Great idea; didn't work
My son needed to do a video of a mock cooking show for his home ec class. "Ohmigosh, I know of an app that will let you use 2-4 iOS devices as cameras, that you can pull together in real time. What a time-saver! And it will look way better than a single camera video!" Well, in theory, it would have been great. All of the video from one of the devices had audio sync problems, or was missing audio completely. Half of its clips were soundless. (All devices had the most current version). And with regard to the clips that did have audio, there was a bit of audio lost in the transition from one camera to the other. It wasn't able to pull all the clips together into one video at the end, but luckily I was able to push all the clips to the camera roll. From there I had to import all 42 clips into iMovie and tweak, edit, and overdub to make up for the lost audio. What should have taken 15 minutes took 3 hours. Ooof.
Did I mention the program crashed multiple times in my "figuring it out" phase? It made filming the show very nerve-wracking.
A great idea. Sure hope it gets better.Show lessPooeySK
