### 3/5 — Great Screen Cast App

*2026-08-05*

…but does not register into landscape orientation when turning the phone.  The application is locked in portrait orientation.  This causes issues when framing over hdmi.

### 4/5 — Needs to be able to zoom in more

*2026-05-19*

This is the exact app I’ve been looking for in the past hour. A camera with no ui. I will probably use it for what I need, but it just needs more zoom capability. Please

### 4/5 — Zero ui good for mirroring

*2026-04-29*

But landscape view doesn’t rotate on tv

### 3/5 — No landscape mode

*2023-04-21*

It seems like this issue won’t be fixed as there aren’t any new updates for the last few years. Too bad though!

**Developer response:** hopfully it works now

### 4/5 — Better resoulotion and landscape mode

*2022-08-12*

Good App so far but the resoulotion could be better , no landscape still

**Developer response:** try again and let me know

### 2/5 — Can’t change from portrait to landscape

*2021-07-09*

I really like the concept of this but please allow landscape mode

### 3/5 — Great app but no landscape

*2021-07-04*

App doesn't rotate for landscape anymore.

**Developer response:** try the new update

### 3/5 — need to add landscape

*2021-05-19, version 2.1.0*

need to add landscape

### 5/5 — So good

*2021-02-17, version 2.1.0*

Good but my phone gets very hot (iphone7)

### 3/5 — Still no landscape mode

*2020-10-06*

Version history says it was fixed but it still does not change to landscape

**Developer response:** try again

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0.0 — 2025-10-01

* Handle landscape orientation change, hopefully
* Upgrade camera to be more performant

### 2.1.0 — 2020-08-16

Fix for when the phones orientation changes.

### 2.0.0 — 2020-08-02

Updated to work with iPhone X and fixed some crashes!

### 1.6.0 — 2016-02-13

* Record videos using a functionality like the 'BEME' app. So if you hold the video against your chest it will start recording and when you remove it it will stop. Will add a sound/indication later.

* Fixed some bugs and an issue where videos were being saved locally as well as to the camera roll. If you notice Camcam is taking up a lot of space - this is the reason. Remove it and re install it!

### 1.5.0 — 2015-07-10

Recording in Quicktime landscape mode fix
