My first written review

Honestly, I don’t have a lot of money and I feel scammed. 10 dollars that I could have used on an app that actually works, has an easier user interface, and would actively update. These days I am in the negative in the bank and 10 dollars breaks me. So thanks for breaking me.

Stream link isn’t working

Got the pro version, work for one day then completely stopped work all together

Listen to the reviews

It doesn’t work…

Don’t buy

Worked at first so I figured I get the pro since most of my products are elgato. Now it won’t work I just wasted $10. Either fix it Elgato or take it down it hasn’t had an update in 2 years???

Won’t connect on Mac

I tried connecting it to a Mac and it doesn’t work. I followed the instructions on the app and downloaded the latest version of game capture HD but nothing I do connects my iphone to my Mac.

Don’t bother

Waste of a download.

Doesn’t work at all

The iOS device says the screen is broadcasting but the capture computer just shows a black screen with no audio. The computer can capture other hardware devices just fine though. This app is broken.

Good one Elgato

The trial version worked great so I bought the pro version and now 4k capture utility doesn’t even recognize it... enjoy the 10 bucks Elgato that’s the last you’ll ever get from me for any of your products.. and I have several. I’ll be sure to give this product a nice review on my game stream... a review fitting of how well it works right now.

Useless.

I upgrade to pro, and it stopped working. I can’t get it to work. I contact support and they take 2 days to answer. The problem is this app that hasn’t been updated since 11 months ago.

The problem it’s not my computer or my phone, it s this app.

Update for iOS 14 Please!!!

I use this app primarily to share my ipad screen on study with me streams and it worked great until iOS 14. it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t work anymore and it needs to be updated accordingly

Update your app

I loved this app until recently. Now I have horrible connection issues and it’s been driving me crazy. I thought it was my network for a while (which is stellar speed) but after so much troubleshooting, I realized the app hasn’t been updated in 9 months! Let an app go like that and it degrades. Very disappointed.

Constantly freezing

Read the reviews but decided to give it a shot anyways. Well that was a bad idea because I bought the pro version and basically threw away $12 because this freakin app used with Game Capture HD KEEPS FREEZING! Screen Link itself seems to be functional but the receiving program Game capture HD on my MacBook Pro constantly freezes and disconnects from my iPad. As I’m trying to use this to run a stream background with my iPad it’s super annoying to have this drop out mid-stream multiple times, reconnect everything only to have it drop out again after a few minutes. It runs well for maybe 5 minutes and then begins to lag really badly and finally just dies in a freeze. Useless

App does not work - deserves negative stars

Save your money. I bought the paid version two days ago and not only threw away $10 but lost time and energy that could have used elsewhere. I should have realized this app is worthless when the last update was 9 months ago as of Dec 2020.

Terrible

Not user friendly and multiple connection issues when trying to use OBS. Don’t buy Pro.

This is the worst

This app is very bad I was very disappointed when it did not work

THIS IS AWESOME

This is so good. If I hade a capture card it would be a lot easier to get a face cam but this is the next best thing. It has great resolution for being wireless. I could care less about the 2 second lag because how small of a youtuber I am. Thanks so much for this app Elgato. 😃

Scam

9+ seconds of delay. Unusable to stream with. Should receive a class action lawsuit for all the people like myself whom have been scammed into getting the pro version.

No capture device

+1 to never getting it to show up in Game Capture on Mac. Waste of an afternoon trying to get this running.

Delay

Don’t waste $10, I wish I would have known the delay would be intense and now I cant get my money back.

Waste of money, 4 seconds of delay!

Waste of $10 don’t even buy it. No one says that the delay on the app is horrendous, 4 seconds for me and I have the best WiFi.....and there’s not even a way to delay a video source in OBS so this app is a waste of money. Getting my refund right now
