Tried it on two different iPhones. It’s just a way to collect info . In-scam indeed ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-11-16, version 1.52* I can get the camera to work on my windows 11 computer but not on my Apple iPhones nor iPads Not a happy camper. I purchased this camera to use with my iPhone or iPad but it will not connect !!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-07, version 1.52* Doesn’t work. Stuck on “attach device” ### 1/5 — It doesn’t connect *2025-09-18, version 1.52* How to connect this on the wifi? I tried to do everything, but it’s not connecting the wifi device gets connected to my phone but when I go to the app it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Don’t know why there’s even an app for iphone. *2025-09-01* This app doesn’t directly connect to your iPhone. I read the top helpful review about having to connect to the camera’s WiFi - that makes sense seeing how my GoPro and Nikon work in the same fashion. Only there is no private network as stated in that review. Bluetooth is not picking it up either. There’s no network name or password in the manual or the online manual for either. Worthless for iPhone. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-25, version 1.52* Tried following supplied instructions. Would not work on my IPhone. Switched to my IPad and had the same result, not working. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-08-20, version 1.52* Doesn’t work :( ### 2/5 — Sketchy Bluetooth connectivity *2025-08-07* Tried to connect to iPhone, but not!!!! So plug right into phone, but guessing app only works for Bluetooth? Wish would work with direct connection also!!! In list, of app, Bluetooth see not even listed. Worked really well easily when bought couple years ago. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-08-04, version 1.52* It was working before, but now it's not connecting! Don't buy it ### 1/5 — It work once. *2025-07-26, version 1.52* Got this 2 years ago, and it did the job just fine I tried to use 2 years later and it won’t connect to device. ### 2/5 — Meh software *2025-06-08, version 1.52* It’s the proprietary software for the microscope. If/when it does connect it wants to update app. It’s already up to date. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Can’t even use it *2025-05-13, version 1.52* I connect the scope to my phone and the app continues to read “please connect the device” the light on the door turns on but there is no image. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t request local network permissions on iPhone. *2025-05-08, version 1.52* Wifi connects on iPhone side but green WiFi light on endoscope just blinks. Appears to be due to no local network permissions for app. Tried on two devices. ### 2/5 — Screen states …plug in camera. Done camera lights up access granted *2025-03-17, version 1.52* Screen states..plug in camera done. All steps completed. No picture ### 1/5 — Cheap tat *2025-03-05, version 1.52* Should be just called Skam. Hardly ever works, my fault, should’ve known better. ### 1/5 — Do not bother *2024-11-29, version 1.52* Does not work when device is plugged in. ### 1/5 — Will not link *2024-11-17, version 1.52* It is a cheap device. So, you get what you pay for. It will not link to the iPhone 15. ### 1/5 — What a garbage app AVOID!!! *2024-11-09, version 1.52* Do not download! Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-07-12, version 1.52* Latest app version. Brand new out of the box, lights are on. Never any camera view. App just says connect the device and nothing else. ### 1/5 — 🤬 *2024-05-10, version 1.52* Won’t connect even after allowing in settings .. frustrating… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Similar experience *2026-06-05, version 1.52* Doesn’t connect to camera No WiFi setting ### 1/5 — Total waste *2026-05-15, version 1.52* Rubbish app. Scam and a waste of time. Wouldn’t even connect. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-09, version 1.52* App downloaded, instructions followed but won’t pick up the camera just keeps saying please connect device and no WiFi option in the settings ### 1/5 — 不能用 *2026-03-23, version 1.52* 幹！害我繳了智商稅，白了錢的 ### 1/5 — 根本不能用 *2026-03-02, version 1.52* 騙人的 ### 1/5 — Does work *2026-02-22, version 1.52* Does nothing. ### 1/5 — 騙錢的 *2026-02-03, version 1.52* 騙錢的 ### 1/5 — 假的 *2026-01-23, version 1.52* 根本不能用 ### 1/5 — 詐騙 *2025-12-21, version 1.52* 不能用 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-11-27, version 1.52* Doesn’t connect to iPhone 16, doesn’t show the wi-fi option in the settings and can’t connect it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rapport *2021-03-17, version 1.30* Après un première essai ça coupait tout le temps (J'étais trop pressé d'essayer la caméra sans l'avoir charger). Après avoir charger la pile du module wifi de la caméra complètement. Aucune coupure et ce dans toutes les résolution de la caméra ### 5/5 — Best (cheap) microscope app *2020-10-21* I’ve tried several of these inexpensive microscopes and their apps. Some refuse to work if you don’t share location and other private data. This one will ask for access to apps so it can show you the images you capture, but still works perfectly if you deny it access. ### 5/5 — Much, MUCH better than LizardCam! *2020-09-29* Connection to WiFi is just like connecting to any other WiFi; photo, video, split previous shot/current image view work fine. And while the manual says “Best focus 3-5cm”, I’ve noticed features six feet across the room were also in focus—not a complaint! And this camera sure is TINY: I bet I could inspect the barrel of a .22cal rifle with this! A really NICE feature is the image ROTATE bar on the bottom of the screen, and the adjustable LED brightness doesn’t offend my delicate sensibilities any! Good job! 😄😄 ### 5/5 — Need to connect to Iphone *2020-08-18, version 1.24* How do I connect the device to an iPhone 7 Plus? Or what kind of adapter is needed please? Thank you ### 5/5 — nice app *2020-07-10, version 1.24* stars we love it ### 5/5 — works well *2020-07-10, version 1.24* microscope Takes practice, but works well ### 5/5 — A GREAT GIFT! *2020-07-10, version 1.24* Simply the best! ### 5/5 — fun *2020-07-09, version 1.24* This app is great fun! ### 5/5 — astonishing!! *2020-07-09, version 1.24* This thing is absolutely astonishing!! ### 5/5 — easy *2020-07-09, version 1.24* It’s super easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
