Superb.

MacStudio M1 latest Sonoma and iPhone 15 ProMax, I am one happy camper. Connecticut within 30”. No futzing around with ports, UDP’s, complex smoothness settings, crashes. I don’t have X-camera so I get no interference from it. For 10$ it’s a gem AFAIC. RIGHT OUT IF THE BOX. As always, YMMV

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t do anything, except ask you for a tenner to enable pitch and yaw. No thanks.

Good with later iOS devices, needs xcamera compatibility

I tried this on both a 1st gen iPhone se, and an iPhone 11. The iPhone se wasn’t useable, but the iPhone 11 worked well, with one exception.

The popular plugin x-camera (when enabled) won’t let this app control the camera. Hopefully with an update to either app the issue will be resolved, but it has been a long time waiting for a possible fix.

Good but can be improved to perfection

It is a good app but if you could add support of Opentrack (UDP), your app could be used for everything on pc. I hope you will implement it
