User reviews

it was working really well; also my purchase reverted

It was working amazing! and then i saw there was a custom mapping to install, i added it, and then it stopped working. The pitch flips upside down every time i yaw my head, i don’t know how to fix it. I didn’t back up my old profile so idk what to do now

Also: i bought the full version and uninstalled then reinstalled it and then it won’t let me get it back. Restore purchase does nothing!

Response from developer

Hi please try downloading the latest version, this issue has now been fixed. Thanks

Doesn’t use FaceID

I was under the impression that this used the faceID/truedepth sensor, it does not.

Best app ever

Been using for years and super smooth in Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 & 2024

Good

Solid app for head tracking, responsive, smooth (as smooth as my SE front camera could be), and also pretty cheap.

Excellent tracking software

I’ve used facetracking as well as home-made IR solutions for head tracking, but this works very well using the iPhone’s excellent camera. Very smooth (providing your OpenTrack setup is set right). Also make sure iPhone camera is set to shoot 60fps video for best performance.

I would only suggest adding an option to turn the screen off when tracking is on and just show the tracking axis. It’s handy to see yourself when initially testing the app, but after a while it’s just distracting to have your face looking out at you while you game.
