Schön wenn wäre noch eine Hochformat Option ### 4/5 — 0.5 lens not working *2025-02-21* Great, easy to use app for getting your iPhones camera to an AirPlay device without any interfering Interface. Only thing missing is the 0.5 lens on iPhone 13 Pro. Please add lens selection. ### 4/5 — 0.5 lens not working *2025-01-21* Great, easy to use app for getting your iPhones camera to an AirPlay device without any interfering Interface. Only thing missing is the 0.5 lens on iPhone 13 Pro. ### 1/5 — It doesn't work *2023-11-08* The application does not remain open, it closes a few seconds after opening… ### 4/5 — Simple & useful but with a few issues *2023-06-03* This app does exactly what it claims to do. However, there is no functionality of taking pictures while streaming (which is listed as an option). This feature seemed to have been removed at one point, as in the screenshots of the app, you can clearly see a white button for that. The microphone feature is also a good addition, but it’s useless — as it only can capture and stream what’s right in front of the microphone. Any ambient sounds are inaudible. I hope the developer can address this as well. The quality of the stream is stellar and stable. I also wish the developer added distinct buttons for different cameras, as what’s there now requires too many clicks to select the right one. Sometimes, when you click through, you realize you needed the one that you just switched from, and so you need to keep cycling the cameras all over again until the right one. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-01-15* Exactly what I wanted it to do. Worth the money ### 4/5 — Great app with room for improvements *2021-11-08* It’s great to see such a small app in size can do what it promises. Performance is top notch. Things to improve: - iPhone was going to auto-lock the screen after airplay for a while. Maybe the app should override/set so that it does not turn to auto-lock? - could not activate the new picture in picture feature when Airplay to AppleTV. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-10-10* Please add some filters! ### 4/5 — Review *2021-09-01* It’s a wonderful app to stream camera to a smart tv or apple device. Is there anyway to get rid of the yellow grid lines ? **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Yes, you can toggle the yellow lines in or off by double tapping the screen. ### 1/5 — Video good - Audio horrible *2021-06-28* The app does a great job of passing through a clean HDMI video signal. Sadly, audio has so many problems that the app is not usable. I am using it on an iPad feeding to a pc through an Apple brand lightning to HDMI adapter. When first started up, the default is mic off. You can turn it on with a tap. It will pass sound at that point to the Camera app on the PC but NOT to YouTube Live. The sound to the Camera app “stutters” badly - it is not usable. Even worse, if you shut down the app and restart it, the mic is in the off position when it restarts and you can not turn it back on. You can only turn it on by rebooting your iPad. As a document camera, this app will probably meet your needs but it is unusable for any use requiring audio. ## Frequently asked questions about Air Camera ### What does Air Camera do?
