### 1/5 — Does NOT work with iPadPro!

*2024-09-16*

I mean really. It is useless and no information about when it will be available for iPad Pro OS:(

### 1/5 — Portrait mode freezes my phone

*2024-08-05, version 1.1.12*

Every time I click to go from landscape to portrait my phone completely freezes up and I have to restart it. The app will stay locked with a black screen and won’t budge or show the camera footage . Nothing works, no buttons, no screen viewing, no phone controls nothing works in the app. And when I close out of the app and restart the app says camera in use so it won’t let me back in unless I power down and restart the tail.

### 1/5 — The last update does not work

*2024-07-30, version 1.1.12*

It keeps hanging. I can’t use any function of the Ai traking, cropping or even presets. It seems that now I record in portrait mode, unfortunately, that button does not work either with my tailair.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2024-07-27, version 1.1.12*

Used to be a great app but recently the controls on the left bottom part of the screen stopped working on my iPan mini.

### 1/5 — Obsbot tiny two doesn’t work. Waste of money.

*2024-03-09, version 1.1.6*

It doesn’t work with this app. I’ve tried everything. Also, the sound doesn’t work on my regular computer.

### 1/5 — My bad experience whit Obsbot Tail Air

*2024-03-02*

This is my review about my bad experience with Osbot Tail Air.

I purchased the product and, USING IN WIRELESS MODE, the battery cannot charge more than 76%.
Was it a new or used product?
Luckily I purchased it through Amazon and got the return immediately.
I was so excited to use it with TIK TOK, but couldn't connect it with my RTPM CODE.
Why?
Why other applications like Facebook, YouTube etc. can have its own connection in your app and TIK TOK use RTMP?
I give you some advice, make it possible to use your product for ALL SOCIAL MEDIA and share the live broadcast simultaneously with your app.
Many use external links like LolaTv to bypass your app.
I was so enthusiastic that I wanted to become your sales partner in my channels.
If you do all these upgrades I will be the first customer and I will share your fabulous product everywhere.

Hope you upgrade the product.

Thanks

### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app!

*2023-12-29, version 1.1.5*

App requires login, however no matter how much I try- the actual login button remains greyed out!

### 1/5 — Login & Terms of use & Privacy policy 🤮

*2023-12-17*

The terms of use as well as the privacy policy might be common for China. 
For European standards you have to do better! Why is a log in necessary and potentially audio and video data transferred to OBSBot according to Terms of Use and Privacy Policy?

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with my Obsbot

*2023-12-04, version 1.1.3*

Nowhere in the in the app description, does it say that this is only for one model of camera. I assumed that it could work with my OBSbot mini 2, it does not.

### 1/5 — Warum verschiedene Anmeldungen?

*2023-11-26*

Warum gibt es verschiedene Anmeldungen für iPhone und iPad? Auf dem iPhone erfolgt die Anmeldung über die Emailadresse , auf dem IPad werden diese Zugangsdaten nicht akzeptiert. Statt dessen muss ein neuer Account mit der Mobilfunknummer erstellt werden.
Ich habe den Eindruck , hier werden nur persönliche Date n gesammelt.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-18, version 1.3.1*

I regret buying this camera because of the trash app.  Doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Portrait only iPad app in 2026?

*2026-06-30, version 1.3.1*

I just got my tiny 3 last night and I’m exited about it, though less excited about the obsbot center app. With that in mind, I decided to check the App Store to see if there was a better Mac app I could use. What do I find? OBSBot Start. I figure I’ll give it a try since it is being updated periodically. I download despite the 2.4 star rating.  I open the app, and for a moment, it seems like it might be pretty useful. Then, it switches to portrait mode. It’s not even as though this is simply a stretched iPhone app. It was made for the iPad. Unfortunately, I am being forced to choose a star rating. There’s absolutely no reason for any iPad app to be portrait only. Fix this issue, and I’ll happily give it another look. Until then…

### 1/5 — Couldn’t connect

*2025-12-13, version 1.2.7*

Wouldn’t let me type in WiFi password.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-09-14, version 1.2.6*

Not working for Tiny 4K on iPad. However, the other App Live can see the camera. Then, the other App Studio can't see the camera. Come on people! Hire better developers! The hardware is great but these 3 Apps are horrible and they are not integrated. Your camera works well only on a computer. BTW, ALL the articles linked from the Apps don't go anywhere! Come on! Don't you even test once before releasing software?

### 1/5 — Literally horrible

*2025-04-25, version 1.2.3*

Literally a useless app, besides failure and unable to connect it does absolutely nothing

### 1/5 — Its slow and inconvenient

*2024-11-01, version 1.1.16*

I cannot update the camera, download a videos because it works very slow and lagging. I stoped at 0% downloading in 10+ minutes. It’s unrealistic to work such like that. Please fix your software

### 1/5 — Email account required?

*2024-10-04, version 1.1.15*

What are all the sudden i have to signup with an email to use the app? I missed starting my live even as the app in its latest updates is requiring a signup email account to function

### 1/5 — Worst Software ever

*2024-10-03, version 1.1.15*

It is the most buggy non usable software ever. Does not work no matter how many trouble shooting resets are performed. Camera quality is great. Software is totally unusable.

### 1/5 — Una basura no abre

*2024-09-30*

La aplicación no abre es una basura cuando le das OK a la cámara se cierra al momentito

### 1/5 — It’s Crashing

*2024-09-28, version 1.1.15*

Can’t load on phone because app keeps on crashing

### 5/5 — Great Control App

*2025-12-08, version 1.2.7*

I love this app. It gives me full control of all the settings.  It would be nice to have more presets…Having only three is not enough.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-08-15, version 1.1.13*

I use the app for first time and works pretty well!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-03-12, version 1.1.7*

I haven’t had any problems with the app.

### 5/5 — Must Have App & Web comm tool (IMHO)

*2024-02-19, version 1.1.6*

I broke my M1 MBP in November. Saved for M2 MBP. Using the Obsbot 4k and saving for the Obsbot Tail.. Went through five webcams while providing daily, online group sessions to local incarcerated people during the 'Great Isolation'.
I have been productive, happy and looking good for the clients with the Obsbot. Happy to be back in the family.

### 5/5 — Essential Software for the Tailair

*2023-12-15, version 1.1.4*

The software is not flawless but after getting used to it is really powerful.  I would like if the software allowed for an easier transition between multiple cameras in a “dashboard” but with a good Wi-Fi connection and a bit of patience its working well to bridge the “PTZ” and AI assisted features for optimizing the use of my 3 cameras on a stream.

### 4/5 — Please fix no space error

*2024-10-11, version 1.1.16*

Hello, I’d like to say I love this app and the camera itself but one issue I’ve constantly had is, it will say insufficient space, now it’s not talking about the SD card itself it’s talking about phone space however I have WAYYY MORE  than enough space on my iPhone and ICloud storage so if someone could please help or maybe devs can make a fix I’d so greatly appreciate it and many others i believe

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2025-08-02, version 1.2.5*

As the only interface for the Obsbot cameras, this app needs more work. Configuration settings for RTMP streams are not easy to find (should be in the same settings menu as Livestream settings). 
There doesn’t seem to be a way to prevent the camera from sending initial massive bitrate bursts (500-2000mbps) at the start of the streams, causing RTMP services to reject the stream right out of the gate. 
Over WiFi, even on a 5ghz connection, there are frequent drops in connection between the camera and the app. 
The external smart remote works well, but there’s no way to configure it to start the livestream from the remote (only local record). 
Settings on the app are not intuitive or well explained.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with Gamechanger

*2024-01-18, version 1.1.6*

Doesn’t seem to work with Gamechanger. Appears to show a connection but no live video shows up in the GC app.

### 3/5 — The product and app are lacking.

*2023-12-18, version 1.1.5*

The app while paired with my trail air has been very hit or miss. The cellular streaming options has yet to work. Also the person tracking has a hard time tracking the singular person. My camera keeps switching it’s focus to people on the side or back ground during sports filming. 
I have reached out but have not gotten any feedback from the company. 

I will change my review if these issues are addressed, but until then it’s not a great experience and I doubt I could trust it to preform (using ai features) in the field.

### 2/5 — Funciona al 40% la app

*2024-07-30*

La última actualización dejo casi inutilizable la cámara. No permite hacer nada
