### 4/5 — Please consider some improvements...

*2024-04-02*

$8.99 seems a bit pricey for what it does, but it does work! And it seems to be the only app available that is designed specifically for this purpose.

Here are a couple of improvements I would really like to see:

* Top priority: an option to choose whether front camera video is mirrored (flipped horizontally). Currently, mirrored is the only option, which means any text appearing on camera will be backward.
* When using SlideOver, SideBySide, or StageManager mode, it would be nice to have a an option to zoom/crop the image to fill the entire window. Currently the image is letterboxed, leaving lots of screen space wasted.

I’d definitely upgrade my review to 5 stars if these enhancements were added.
