User reviews

Работает, но кастыльно

Работает, но только при условии, что у вас старая версия айтюнс на пк, в противном случае картинку не захватит. Новые версии не поддерживаются.

Monochrome Live preview!

Everything works fine but when I use my iPhone (16 pro) the live preview is monochrome and it’s so frustrating! Can someone tell me how can I fix it?

Why can’t a zoom in

It won’t let me zoom in

Great app

I’ve use Dragonframe as a professional for many years and the DZED group has always provided top notch support and app development.

Boi

So I don’t know what to do.... All i see is the title and all the codes if I swipe right... I’m on Apple IPhone so I can’t update my software so I don’t know what to do..

Response from developer

This is a free add-on application that pairs with desktop Dragonframe software. It does nothing on its own.
