Great idea!

This looks to be a great idea! Being able to us your smart phone to connect the camera or control your document camera would have many uses as a teacher. The app downloaded easily, the functionality was nearly identical to iPEVO4 camera sitting on my desk top. All other functions, including connectivity to my school’s network were “pay-only” features. This brings me to my 2 - star rating, without enough (any) features to test out, I will not be purchasing this app.

I’d like to connect IPEVO VZ-R to the iPad Pro

I’ve got an iPad. I was hoping to find a solution to connect the IPEVO VZ-R (wired, USB-C connection) to the software. I launch it in the iPad and I only have the integrated iPad cameras to choose from. I don’t have a laptop, so I’d love to have an option for sharing an overhead view with my awesome IPEVO VZ-R while not in the studio while on zoom/google meet.

Ideally I would screen share to the iDocCam software and the app would be able to detect the connected IPEVO camera. Any thoughts on how to make that happen?

It’s great software otherwise. I’m enjoying it!

Disconnecting

Not sure if its this software or IPEVO on chrome but disconnects all the time

Terrible

This did not work on my iPhone and MacBook. Never. Did everything I could. So disappointing.

NOT free

This app requires a subscription after the first month and won’t let you even preview it without selecting a subscription. Not a fan of how that fact seems hidden

Very unreliable

I am/was having so many problems with this app It will work for a while, I could present my lessons solving math problems to the students, then the next day it doesn’t work. The following day it will work. It is so iffy, I can not rely on it. I sent an email a week ago and have heard no response from customer service. This morning I tried again and the app asked me for a password. I NEVER had nor have I set up a password to begin with. How did that happen?! I tried Logging in again later in the day and the app on the computer will not recognize the iDocCam app on my phone. Nothing changed from 2weeks ago till now. This is not the first time either. What the heck is going on?!

Was working until...

This was great until this month. I am a teacher using for recording lessons. When my subscription renewed in Sept 2020, it started putting black rectangle in upper right corner when zooming in. I bought the lifetime app for $19.99 then thinking there was something glitchy happening with subscription renewal process, but ugly rectangle is still there. I reached out to Impevo customer support but have had no response. I’m out more money, lots of wasted time, and I can’t zoom in anymore and see the whole screen. Please fix this and contact me!

Customer service

The first down load I did for this for my iPhone and Chromebook I was very disappointed. The video kept turning green and/or freeze. I emailed them with the problems I was having and I got a response in less than a day. I followed what they said and wow I am so happy now! Works great! Exactly what I needed for my virtual lessons. They even emailed me to follow up and make sure the problem was fixed.

NOT FREE

this is not free

not free to try.

Sorry, not free to try even if 1st month there is no charge. That is not free to try. App Store does not say payment is required. DELETE!

Ugh the lag time

I downloaded the app but it lags about 5-10 seconds on average. I am changing to a more reliable app. Hopefully it’s out there

Great app for remote teaching

This app is great. It gives me all of the functionality of document and eliminates the need to buy another device. I can now record whiteboard videos and demonstrate other hands on activities to my students. Every teacher who owns an iPad or iPhone should download this app. You really won’t regret it.

How do I cancel?

I can’t find a way to cancel my subscription! The app doesn’t work the way I had hoped and I would like to cancel before I get charged. Please advise.

Download and Try

So you’re able to download this app but then when you click on it it wants you to pay for a subscription. I never even got a free trial or anything, they need to put in the description that you will have to pay if you download this you’re downloading it as an unpaid app right now.

Easy come easy go

Was using this app, along with visualizer, up until yesterday when the update occurred. Now it will synch, but very staticky picture. All my devices are new, so it couldn’t be the fact that they are outdated. Really bummed because now I have to rearrange all my teaching. Wish it would work because it was a wonderful teacher tool for those of us who cannot afford doc cameras.

Black Screen

I followed all of the directions, my computer recognizes my phone, yet I have a black screen on my computer. It will capture pictures just fine, but I want to use it for a document camera. The setup is so easy but it doesn’t work for my Dell with Windows 10.

Was loving it until the latest update

As someone who is providing speech therapy via online this app was invaluable....until the latest update. Now it freezes all the time and I’m unable to get it to even show up on the screen to start a session. Updated 8/4/20: All is up to date and have contacted customer support. I really miss using the app as my clients loved it.

Easy to use

I downloaded the app and it was easy setup. the app work pretty well had zero issues

Easy to use!

The iDocCam app has been a livesaver. You can now use your very own Smartphone as a document camera. It is great for online teaching and students can easily share their work. Great app!

Nice app for remote learning

It works perfectly to use the iPhone as a document camera for online class.
