You just put black lines where the additional screen space is. It looks the same! You can't just post an unfinished update like that. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!! *2012-10-18, version 2.3* It won't even let you get on the app,unless you buy it ### 1/5 — Nope *2012-04-04, version 2.2* This doesn't work well with windows ### 1/5 — dont get it *2012-03-24, version 2.2* dont get it cos its fine on the iPod/iPhone but when i tried to download the computer software my computer has got crap security but it said that this would destroy my computer i never downloaded it after the warning but even the second time it picked up the virus IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS FOR TRYING TO KILL MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! }:z ### 3/5 — B&W *2011-12-29* Its a great app, could be on top if lite was not black and white, how about you fit in ads instead, and make the res medium ### 1/5 — Misrepresented and useless *2011-08-21, version 2.0* The preview screenshots are from the pro version. With only support for monochrome capture makes the lite version completely useless. A version that offers full color but a limited time for instance would be much more appreciated. ### 1/5 — Doesn't play with ichat *2011-07-24, version 2.0* Until this app works with ichat, I give it one star. ### 1/5 — Sound loss *2011-04-01, version 1.8* Lost all sound on my win7 laptop after installing their server software and didn't get it back until I uninstalled it ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2011-03-20, version 1.8* This is horrible. Does not connect to my computer, and slows down my phone. HORRIBLE. ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-02-19, version 1.8* I hate this app ### 2/5 — Pocketcam Lite *2011-01-02, version 1.7* This does work but only provides 320x240 video. Also "Pocketcam ..." watermark across bottom right in LITE version. Acceptable but just barely. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It didn’t work *2020-03-26, version 3.0* Followed all the instruction for Mac. The QR Code didn’t work. Just a waste of time ### 1/5 — Nope *2018-04-16, version 3.0* Looks like their site (where you need to download PC/Mac drivers) has been hijacked. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2018-03-13, version 3.0* You can’t download the desktop software because the web site has been taken over by advertisers. ### 1/5 — Website down can't download desktop software *2016-12-09, version 2.14* Is company still in business? ### 1/5 — Worthless *2014-12-14, version 2.13* True, this is the only webcam app I could get to actually show ANY video in Skype, but the lag is so extreme and the video so poor that it makes video more distracting than useful. ### 1/5 — black & white only *2014-08-14, version 2.12* this lite version says it is limited o black & video video only. i didnt make it past that point to even test it. ### 1/5 — I wouldn't suggest getting this *2014-04-08, version 2.8* Doesn't work with Skype at all, I downloaded the drivers on my computer and they messed up my pro audio interface (it completely stopped working until I uninstalled the drivers). It's pretty much a junk app like the rest of the webcam apps for chat and apple should remove all of them from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2014-03-16, version 2.8* This app is worthless glad I tried this before buying full version. Crashes and will not work. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2013-06-13, version 2.7* I downloaded this app to try and avoid buying and waiting for an actual webcam. But when I followed the instructions on how to download and install to use on my pc, it required me to download more applications that are both useless and irrelevant, like bonjour printing wizard. After much irritation, finding out that there is no audio, or color, or even connection to anything I would use a camera for I tried to seek help and use the "contact for support" only have the app close on me like I'm a door to door morman. Not worth my time, not worth my effort, not worth my money. I am uninstalling and using the five dollars to by an actual cam on eBay. Zero stars, if I could, but like this app, you can't do anything. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-03-12, version 2.6* Always freezes on my windows computer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2016-05-20, version 2.14* This app is exactly what it says it is. It's perfect for when I have to get in group skype calls on my laptop (since I don't have a webcam) The only downside is the watermark but that's expected with a free app. Hopefully soon I'll get the full version! Thank you for this wonderful app! ### 5/5 — Works with Skype in Mac *2014-12-16, version 2.13* Works with Skype in Mac ### 5/5 — Haters goin to hate *2014-03-26, version 2.8* It work perfect I like it ### 5/5 — Seems to work as advertised. *2014-01-12, version 2.8* I'm using it with Google + hangouts and it seems to work just fine. I think I'll spring for the paid version and get color and audio. This will make a great baby monitor also. ### 5/5 — Great but extra download *2011-10-28, version 2.1* Great and works very well. The colors are black and white and you have to download pocket can control on you computer and type in the ip address from the computers pocket cam software to your iPod touch. ### 5/5 — Good app *2011-04-24, version 2.0* Did exactly what it says it does, worked 1st time ### 5/5 — Do they HATE us? *2011-04-18, version 1.8* Aside from issuing new versions to hide all poor reviews from past versions, the company seems to have gotten scores of people to write bogus positive reviews saying how well the app works. Well, it does not. The one thing that may have worked is their underhanded technique of skewing that average rating upward by dishonest means. Yikes! Does Senstic hate us, or just have no respect for us? Do yourself a favor and read a few reviews written by some of the two hundred-plus unhappy folks who took the time to warn the rest of us. If you want to be greeted with a message that instructs you to purchase the five dollar full app before it lets you use its dumbed-down sister, or if you want to spend long periods re-configuring, de-configuring and generally jiggering about your computer to make it do the bidding of this innocent-seeming app, go ahead and download this malign little wolf in sheep's clothing. What I cannot figure out is why the company does not just work a little harder at producing a functional, easy-to-use app, rather than spend so much time on damage control. I don't plan to spend $4.99 just to buy the right to warn folks about the paid version of this lame product, but I have given this review five stars so Senstic's monitoring bots do not try to combat or purge my message. Save yourself before it is too late! Don't be a victim of PocketCam's hate! ### 5/5 — Easy and worked *2010-04-19, version 0* Easy and worked in 3 mins I was up on stickam. I was just wonder if it would work, thinking of buying the full version. ### 5/5 — This is really free???? *2010-03-17, version 0* I have been considering getting a cam and have been shopping around. To my suprise my iPhone can do the trick. This app works perfectly! They leave a few things out to give you incentive to buy the paid version but this proves to me that it's worth it. Five bucks is much cheaper than the thirty bucks I was looking at spending. Very happy with this app. ### 4/5 — Please delete the purchase details. *2017-01-01, version 2.14* Please delete the purchase details. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
