  • Amazing app BUT needs a feature

    This app is incredible and is really helping me with capturing my gameplays at a more professional level, I just wish it had a second audio input so that I could record my game captures and party chats but record my voice in a separate channel with a mic and get 2 audio channels to work with in edit or at least be able to increase the audio of my mic's channel since when I have my headset connected to my elgato hd60x with a chatlink cable, I can't be heard clearly in the recordings unless all other sounds are extremely low, too low for me to hear when gaming

    Hi there! Right now there are iOS limitations that prevent us from being able to add more than one audio channel, we hope that this will be a functionality that opens up to developers moving forward, so we can support multiple sources! You can also pre-mix multiple sources using an audio interface, and then select the audio interface in the settings. We have improvements planned for stream panels in a coming update, we'd love to hear more details on what you're looking for when it comes to resizing/relocating - let us know at support@reincubate.com 🙏
  • I LOVE THIS APP

    Before this app, I didn’t think it possible to use my iPad Pro as a streaming device for my console

  • A great work-in-progress

    This app is great at what it sets out to do. I’m cool with the no-frills features and interface if it means stability. That said, a few things don’t quite work as they should in the current version of the app:

    - Dynamic web overlays aren’t properly updated on stream in my experience (eg. embedded chat). They update in the live preview, but not on stream.
    - Pen markup colors don’t always reflect what’s shown on stream. Black shows up white, white shows up as black, for instance.

    These are my two big complaints. Once these are addressed (that, and iPadOS eventually supporting multiple audio inputs), this app will be perfect!

  • Problem with external drive

    I really like how easy it is to use this app. The tutorials are good and the interface is clean and accessible.
    The big thing holding it back for me that when recording to an external drive it first records to the internal storage and then offloads it to the other drive. That wouldn’t be so bad except I don’t have a lot of free storage on my iPad Air so for a long recording I have to do it in chunks. And then sometimes it fails to offload. So the video is recorded in the app’s memory with no way to access it. I end up having to delete the app to remove that file and then start all over. I don’t feel like performance is stable enough to trust it to anything critical. I hope they continue to develop it, though, because I really want to love this app.

  • Great App, But It’s Missing ONE Thing…

    I've been eagerly anticipating an app that lets me stream Nintendo Switch games from my iPad. While Camo Studio is impressive, it's missing a crucial feature that stops me from giving it a perfect rating. It doesn't allow you to adjust the recording or live streaming bitrate. It would be great if you guys could add a bitrate/adaptive bitrate setting in your next update. Apart from that, I appreciate the effort in bringing console streaming to iPad users!

    Developer Response

    Hello there, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for the constructive feedback! I've added it to our feature requests, if there's anything else you'd like to see then we're always eager to hear feedback at support@reincubate.com.
  • Room for improvement

    I like that I can download this app for both Mac & iPad, Just curious why I need a M1 device just to record apps directly from my iPad Mini 6 when tons of apps been doing that for a few years now. Hopefully you can fix that issue so I can use this app as my main permanent streaming solution on the go. I do appreciate the developer for giving this to us for free, thank you!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your question - we appreciate you taking the time to write in! Right now, only iPads with M1 chips or newer are able to support using a camera while simultaneously recording/streaming apps on the iPad - we hope this clears things up! If you have more questions or feedback for us, please share at support@reincubate.com 🙏
  • Please fix and update this

    I hate that there is no pass-thru audio, like when using this for my xbox gaming and recording. Also needs 2 audio channels, one from each source to make it easier for edit. Stream panels need resize and relocation options

  • This is a great start, BUT…

    There are a few minor inconveniences that need to be addressed.
    - Recording the iPad screen along with an external camera is a little bit of a mess to work with right now. Seems to be half the time it actually saves the video, but when it does, the video is showing the whole recording canvas, inside of the recording canvas. (Yes, even when not screen recording in the Camo App itself), as well as i get cut off due to an invalid stream or something, I cannot remember the exact wording right now, but thats will im recording an external camera, and recording the iPad screen *locally* not streaming to YouTube or anything.
    - A really nice addition would be more resizing options for the windows, more canvas options, as well as for the videos some basic brightness, contrast, etc controls.

    Thank you for sharing this feedback with us 🙏 We'd like to solve some of these issues you raised - could you send us an email to support@reincubate.com? It would be helpful for us to get a few more details, so we can make the screen recording experience run smoother!
  • Please support switching input video format

    Downloaded many apps to try out the UVC support in iPadOS 17 but this is the only app can do streaming.

    One downside of this app is the lack of switching input video format between 420v and 420f as my capture card only supports one of these formats.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for sharing this feedback 🙏 We'd like to look into supporting the capture card you're using, could you share with us via email at support@reincubate.com? Let us know and we'll do our best to get you up and running!
  • Please fix and update this

    There is a circle outline on my screen that I can't remove or move out of the screen, even if I have camera turned off or only one source switched on. Also please give us 2 audio channels to work with if both sources have audio. This would make it easy to edit post-capture.
    Make the stream panel easy to move around and resize, and an option for opacity.
    Add an option to hide settings and controls for recordings and streams
