I never had a trial period but I won’t go any further and pay. If they marketed it as a paid app, I might have paid for it but this is just misleading marketing and I’m not going to pay to find out that it isn’t real. ### 1/5 — Can't hold connection, unable to use *2023-09-03* I tried this app out because I wanted to use my phone as a remote to take pictures with my iPad. Like other reviewers have said, there's a significant lag, which is a little annoying but I could live with. The bigger issue is that the connection between the two devices is constantly getting lost, despite a strong wifi connection on the same network. Each time the connection is lost, one of us would have to get up, get everything set up again, then re-pose, only for the same thing to happen a few seconds later. Ultimately gave up and deleted. ### 1/5 — Do not work *2022-07-31, version 1.2* The app does not work with iPhone SE and 13 Pro as it would not connect. ### 1/5 — won’t pair *2019-10-15* Won’t pair my iPhone to my iPad. Useless app, waste of my time. WiFi was turned on, both devices. Whether or not the devices were associated to my Access Point, or not associated to anything and waiting to be connected, as like in getting ready to make an ad-hoc connection (peer to peer wifi) it didn't matter. No success. Both devices running IOS 12.4.1 **Developer response:** Sorry about that. On both devices, please turn Wi-Fi on. (There is no need to connect Internet.) ### 2/5 — Video *2021-08-04* How do i choose video, before the trial runs out? ### 3/5 — Issue w Lag *2022-01-25* This app is great because it does what it was made for. However I’m having a consistent issue where there is a long lag between the control side and the camera side, up to a minute of lag time. I’d think after paying money, I should have a well working app. Can I get some assistance on this? ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2020-12-25* I can’t get video to work if it actually does. I get a video icon when I turn camera around to selfie with a pause button and everything, but it only takes a snapshot. No instructions within the app as another person noted. Lastly, you do not get same resolution from device to device. Work these things out it’s be awesome! But right now, I’d have to pass. ### 3/5 — Has potential *2020-05-10* I want to use for videos but so far all I can do is photos. Instructions are missing and support takes you to a Japanese language Twitter that is private. I liked the look because it looked simple, I’m not looking for editing etc ### 4/5 — Delete pop up *2022-07-21, version 1.2* App would be 5 star if the very annoying and useless pop up on camera side screen were deleted. The pop up has to be tapped to dismiss which is not helpful. Otherwise a great App. ### 4/5 — Please update *2020-11-19* I need the option to shoot videos in 4K . Please update the app with changing the quality of the video including frames per second ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Control camera 버튼이 활성화가 안되요 *2024-08-15* Camera side버튼만 됩니다. ### 5/5 — 컨트롤 사이드 버튼이 안눌러져요ㅠ *2024-08-15* ㄷᆢ ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-01-02* This app has helped me several times when I needed a remote camera in a location nearby that I could not get to myself, or if I needed to discreetly watch my pets. You just have to install the app on two phones and then pair them; one is your camera, and the other is the remote. One feature that I wish the developer would add is this: on the remote phone, if I switch to a different app, when I switch back to the PairCamera app, it seems to have lost the connection. I would like for it to maintain the connection if possible. I am using iPhone 12’s. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-05-26, version 1.2* Finally found an app that working perfectly . Fast connection ### 5/5 — It works *2021-11-23* At first i couldn’t get it to work but after going thru the settings I was able to get it to connect ,, does the job ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-09-30* Love to use ### 4/5 — Okay so far *2020-09-26* Works for both photo and video between two iPhone SEs. Occasionally drops connection. Would be great if new version improves connectivity without drops in connection. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
