The device may work as advertised but I will not risk my data being collected without my knowledge so will not be using the Endoscope. ### 2/5 — Wants Wi-Fi *2024-05-29, version 1.0.25* I did not like the fact that it required the use of the internet WiFi. Will return the product. ### 2/5 — Does not work with OnePlus 12R *2024-04-10, version 1.0.25* camera connects to my iPhone and pixel 6A, but not my 12R. ### 1/5 — Con *2024-01-14, version 1.0.25* 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 ! ### 1/5 — Caution *2023-07-29, version 1.0.21* 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. ### 1/5 — Steals data *2023-06-29, version 1.0.21* 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." ### 1/5 — Steals your data *2023-06-21, version 1.0.21* 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. ### 3/5 — Needs a mirror option *2023-05-06, version 1.0.21* App works well, it would be nice to see an option to flip the video ### 1/5 — Corrected review. *2023-02-19* IOS 15. This does connect to their network, bit the image is extremely blurry and wiping the lens did not improve it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-12-17* I’m using the G52 borescope and successfully connect to the wifi but it doesn’t load the saved images and says no camera when trying to view the camera feed on the phone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is garbage *2026-06-14, version 1.0.30* So this app is complete. Garbage does not allow you to hook the camera. Don’t know why it tries to hook to Wi-Fi when the camera plugged into the phone complete piece of garbage. ### 1/5 — Beware of this Chinese Malware *2025-08-31, version 1.0.30* This app asks for all kinds of permissions that are totally unnecessary. You cannot save photos or videos unless you allow total access to read and write all photos. ### 1/5 — Anesok *2025-03-08, version 1.0.26* Micro camera ### 1/5 — It works once in awhile *2025-01-30, version 1.0.26* I’ve had the product for over a year now. I’ve used it twice where it worked. About a dozen times other than that it won’t connect. So it only works when it decides it wants to work. Extremely frustrating product. ### 1/5 — Help *2025-01-05, version 1.0.26* Cannot connect. Help with answers ### 1/5 — Only use on a wiped phone *2024-09-27, version 1.0.25* This item kept asking to connect to my network also insisted on connecting to my 4G Wi-Fi why just to run a camera ? ### 1/5 — Can’t connect. Load of Chinese cap *2024-09-20, version 1.0.25* Well there’s £ gone. Doesn’t even work. Not fit for purpose!!!! ### 1/5 — Cannot access the wifi *2024-08-26, version 1.0.25* I’ve followed the instructions and tried to connect to their wifi but it says not available. ### 1/5 — Terrible video quality *2024-08-20, version 1.0.25* Sending the camera back to amazon ### 1/5 — Rubbish camera *2024-08-14, version 1.0.25* Complete junk, why dos this app need to find devices on my WiFi to use the camera on the lightning socket? Complete junk and scan - don’t use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It works and it’s easy to use. *2025-08-07, version 1.0.30* Not much else to say. ### 5/5 — Camera *2025-03-16, version 1.0.28* You have to have a anesok camera to run this app and it is good ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2024-12-02, version 1.0.26* Just installed on an iPad 9 it’s not immediately obvious but the camera seems to be sending the image to the iPad by Wi-Fi even though the power supply is coming off the cable. It’s necessary to allow your iPad to connect to the Wi-Fi signal generated by the camera this is not in the app permissions but in the general Wi-Fi settings for your iPad. It also means the iPad disconnects from the ‘normal Wi-Fi’ you would use to connect to internet. Once connected the camera works fine definition is ok but not very good. The cable has memory so you can bend it to go into small inaccessible spaces and still move the camera. All in all excellent for the money. There was no attempt by the software to access any form of payment. ### 5/5 — ✅ *2024-08-17, version 1.0.25* Really good camera quality super cheap 🔥 ### 5/5 — Decent app *2024-05-13, version 1.0.25* For what it’s for, this app does the job well. I have an iPhone 13, and after downloading this app, I just needed to switch over to my wifi settings, select the “ANESOK…” wifi network, and allow it to discover devices on the network. Then just go back to the app, select the camera icon, and you’re in business! Note: the photos are stored in the app itself, not the phone’s photo album (the album icon is next to the camera icon). From there you can view the photos and choose to dump them in with the regular photos on your phone. ### 5/5 — Handy camera accessory *2023-03-29, version 1.0.20* 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. ### 5/5 — Works fine for iPhone 13 Pro *2023-03-29, version 1.0.20* 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. ### 4/5 — People are paranoid!! *2024-10-03, version 1.0.25* It connects over Wi-Fi to your phone for camera and it uses the power cord for power lol you know to turn the camera on . If you turn off your Wi-Fi it just disconnects from the phone but power is still transmitted. Relax geniuses ### 4/5 — Does what it should *2023-11-06, version 1.0.25* 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. ### 3/5 — Timestamp of photo *2025-07-21, version 1.0.30* Easy to connect and use. An issue that I have is that is doesn’t show the DATE the photo was taken. I want to download the photos from the app, to check if shows the dates that way, but have to give permission/FULL ACCESS to your photo album, in order to download a picture. Limited access doesn’t work. Any app that requires full access to your photos album doesn’t feel safe. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
