No way to change resolution. Defaults to 1080p30. No option for lower resolution. No documentation that states what features you get with the paid features. I expect better quality on a free version so that i can evaluate the paid version. ### 2/5 — Five minute limit *2026-03-15* I’ve seen reviews that this app freezes after five minutes. Some reviews asked that the user contact the developer at an email address. Before I purchase this, I’d like to know if the goo e minute glitch has been resolved, but the developer won’t answer my email. Has anyone, or the developer, found a fix for this? ### 1/5 — だまされた *2025-11-16, version 2.2* このアプリは本家のオリジナルをパクったにせアプリです。使わないように。 ### 1/5 — NÃO E O APP OFICIAL *2025-11-12, version 2.2* Não comprem não funciona com o NDI tools, golpe ### 1/5 — крашится спустя время, ненадежно *2025-11-01, version 2.2* купил подписку за 20 баксов, звук с устройства в обс не передается, никаких настроек на этот счёт нет, приложение крашится спустя 15-20 минут непрерывной работы. шлак, короче, не стоит за это платить ### 1/5 — Misleading description *2025-10-15* I wanted to stream my iPads screen, not the camera. From the description it sounded right. I paid only to discover I’ve been misled 😕 ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-09-26, version 2.2* P.O.S. App never send signal to NDI tools. I’ve paid for a full year. I am sending complaint to Apple Store. ### 1/5 — Arnaque !!! Passes ton chemin *2025-09-22, version 2.2* Ne fonctionne pas, merci de me rembourser ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-09-03, version 2.2* NDI detects but black screen and no app debug options or help without paying ### 1/5 — Not sure what the point is *2025-08-26, version 2.2* Personally, i couldn’t get the app to work with OBS and the DistroAV plugin. (it would appear as a source in the list but wouldn’t display any video/audio) This could just be me configuring something wrong, but to even see the settings available in this app you have to subscribe at 4.99/mo or 19.99/yr, which doesn’t make too much sense when the official NewTek NDI camera app is on the App Store for 19.99… one time perpetual ### 1/5 — This is not the app you are looking for *2025-08-04, version 2.2* This app falsely claims to be the true application by NewTek. That is the only one that will work properly with OBS Studio. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ### 1/5 — NO LONGER SUPPORTED *2025-08-03, version 2.2* Download newtek’s official app ‘NDI Camera’ ### 1/5 — É golpe *2025-07-31, version 2.2* Paguei e não consegui configurar ### 1/5 — Does not say purchases in app *2025-07-21, version 2.2* You get into the app and voila, paywall ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It was free it s not anymore *2026-05-26, version 2.4* Do not update! NDI was free now you have to pay for : light, front cam, exposure… 22€ a year! It s so a shame! ### 1/5 — Not 4K *2026-05-20, version 2.4* Low quality ### 1/5 — Times out *2026-04-04, version 2.4* Sucks butt…Times out after 10 mins… ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2026-03-28* The app looks clean except it didn’t work, would not send video. And the camera was twisted. No control or setting unless you buy. What a scam ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work don’t buy *2026-02-22* I download the app, it works, but every time I press a button it asks me to pay. I eventually give in , after purchase and multiple reinstalls of the app the settings tab doesn’t even work. In the end this feels like a trap. I regret paying for a product that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Es una estafa no funciona *2026-02-17, version 2.4* No manda la señal sólo se ve negro y aunque pagues la suscripción sigue sin funcionar, además de que el pagar la suscripción sólo desbloquea el zoom y la linterna 🤡 ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-01-03* I can’t use my gear icon in the app I want to change the codec but the gear icon isn’t working. Please fix it I just subscribed to the app but I can’t use the Gear icon. ### 1/5 — Yikes *2025-12-11* Basically the entire app except just the camera feed is locked behind a paywall, tap anywhere that isn’t “send” and it brings up the subscription plan. One star because this is disgraceful compared to other free alternatives, like camo. ### 1/5 — 偽物です *2025-11-30, version 2.2* 本物に似せた偽物です。買わないでください。返金依頼しています。💢 ### 1/5 — Robo *2025-11-19, version 2.2* Nunca envía la señal NDI, el correo electrónico para ayuda es un email de gmail que no responden. No deberían permitir que se publiquen apps de este tipo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-19, version 2.4* Good ### 5/5 — Una excelente aplicación *2026-03-09, version 2.4* Me ayuda a tener una cámara remota ### 5/5 — Bom *2025-09-13, version 2.2* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Simple and powerful *2025-04-21* Easy to use and works great **Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback!

Sería bueno que se pueda consultar o modificar ese parámetro, en gral es muy útil incluso alguna función de enviar la pantalla del celular ### 3/5 — Please fix *2026-03-29, version 2.4* The app was great up until the recent update. I’ve noticed that theres increased latency and the it’s become more challenging to customize the image quality to be as close to other cameras I use as possible depending on the setup Im using. I cent even tell when the camera has gone live anymore. Honestly the old interface was better. ### 3/5 — Intuitive and easy to use but audio does not work on iPhone 15 Pro on iOS 26. *2025-11-06* Please help me resolve this. ### 3/5 — Remote Zoom *2025-04-11* The app works fine but I have an enhancement request. The zoom control on the screen works but I have to put the iPhone up out of reach. I have a remote that can zoom in and out on the iPhone camera app but it doesn’t work at the NDI HX app. It would be very beneficial to utilize the zoom commands that the camera app gets to control the zoom on the NDI HX app. Thanks. **Developer response:** Thank you for your 3-star review and valuable enhancement suggestion. We appreciate your feedback about adding remote zoom functionality compatible with external controllers. Our development team will consider this feature for future updates. We're always looking to improve the app based on user needs like yours. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
