Lens switching on iPhone 13

I like using the app but the only problem I have is switching between lenses and zooming. I can’t get it to work.

Very good.

Works well with all camera lenses.

Please delete/ignore my previous review.

No longer rotates

With the latest iOS you can no longer rotate the phone for widescreen

With the Kate’s iOS you can no longer rotate the phone for widescreen

Critical features missing

Please add the ability to name the NDI stream. Using simultaneously several cameras, a random « NDICam » « NDICam2 » assignation at startup is a nightmare to use in a project. And please, add the ability to lock the landscape mode. Otherwise this app is the fastest (less latency), too bad it is not usable for me as it is.
