Exception piece of software

Overviewer allows me to turn my high definition camera of my iPhone into a visualiser for my lessons without me having to spend out on another piece of kit. I have used it for years and love this app dearly. I could not deliver the kind of interactive lessons I have for my subject without Overviewer. I have never found a bug and it works flawlessly every single time.
