### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-10*

Installed the PC Software. Allowed it through the firewall, installed this iOS app, and tried to connect over ip and USB. the PC app only ever said “Device is currently Unavailable.  I only paid for a month of this app thank god. I’ll be refunding the steam app of the PC software too. Back to Trackir.

### 2/5 — No preview

*2026-02-20*

I have a very specific requirement, but you can’t even preview the output or see the settings before installing the desktop app. I’m not going to install the desktop app for something I don’t even know will work.

### 1/5 — Clanky

*2026-01-02*

Going to have to say since buying this it’s been nothing but terrible, doesn’t track properly or line up and just very hard to use can see why it’s so cheap, if your going to use tracking just pay more and get the proper equipment

### 1/5 — Echt jetzt

*2025-11-16, version 1.8*

Ich muss es also auf meinem IPhone erneut kaufen um es am Pc verwenden zu dürfen (habe die Vollversion auf meinem Computer)

### 2/5 — Bad tracking

*2025-10-01, version 1.8*

Somehow iPhone 16promax tracking performance and previewed video quality is worse than a 720p 30fps laptop cam

### 1/5 — if you dont buy games its useless

*2024-09-04, version 1.8*

pc version is paid and requires 1 steam level

### 2/5 — Didn’t work well for me

*2024-05-02*

Using an iPhone 13 mini with my gaming pc I couldn’t get the eye tracking very smooth at all. I’ll be looking at other solutions. Cool idea hopefully the issues are fixed in the futurw

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The eye tracking using the iPhone is the smoothest of all options, as we offload the processing onto the phone and utilize the TrueDepth camera. This issue seems to be related to device placement. Please ensure that you have followed the instructions at beam.eyeware.tech/ios-setup and positioned the phone correctly under the right monitor and your eyes are visible. If you need assistance, feel free to reach out to us on Discord. We're here to support you.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-04-27*

Having downloaded this app, and purchased the full priced program on steam to complement it, its performance just isn’t acceptable. 

Once in game, I’m either facing the wrong direction or upside down. The eye tracking movements are all over the place, and don’t appear to be tracking properly. No mention on the recommended distance the user should be from the monitor, or from the iPhone. Or what orientation the iPhone should be in (landscape or portrait)? With iOS, we expect things to ‘just work’, this has been nothing but a major headache.

I’ll be happy to update this review if the developers are willing to reach out, and advise on how to get it working as advertised.

**Developer response:** Apologies for the extreme delay. We somehow missed this review. We provide step-by-step instructions on our page for setting it up. If Apple reviews allow links, you can find them here: beam.eyeware.tech/ios-setup. The only supported orientation is landscape with the camera on the right, as indicated in the instructions. That may have been the cause of the erratic behavior you experienced. Also, we and the community are highly responsive on our Discord server, so feel free to reach out there for swift support.

### 3/5 — 3 Stars for now. Will Update later.

*2024-04-05*

So far the biggest drawback is that I cannot tell it to use the rear camera. The rear camera is higher fidelity and higher resolution. Since it's connected via WiFi 6E, I should have more than enough intranet bandwidth to handle nearly instantaneous 4K/60 or 1080p/120(240) tracking. I subscribed for a year, but will most likely not renew my subscription if this isn't something that can be available to us in coming updates. Seems like an oversight.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It appears you are referencing the legacy iOS Edition. Please visit our website to check out the latest release of the Beam Eye Tracker, which allows the use of the rear camera when paired with a webcam app. However, please note that the capability to offload to a high-resolution, high-frame-rate camera is not yet activated. We invite you to join our Discord or reach out to help@eyeware.tech, where I can assist you further with your subscription and discuss transitioning to the Beam Eye Tracker if you prefer. Thanks for your patience and continued support.

### 5/5 — Best Head Tracking App

*2023-11-21*

It really does work! I had an issue (user error), and the support quickly helped me fix it. This app makes games so much more immersive. 10/10

**Developer response:** Happy to help! Thanks for the review.
