Please remove

Please remove this app from the store. I cannot reach the developers on any of their web addresses.

Do Not Buy

The app is no longer supported. The page to download the driver leads to a phishing extension download

AVOID - web site gone no software for computer

Will be looking at how to get a refund, for the first time. Very unhappy to see Apple hasn’t pulled this down.

Unsupported product

One review had all the right words, but after paying $5, there is no website to download the corresponding drivers on the laptop. Site is decommissioned. DO NOT BUY, Apple should remove thid broken product from the store.

Not much functionality

So all this all does is stream video from the iPhone camera, so it can be used as a glorified baby monitor and that is about it. Plus the video it streams is so tiny you can barely see it. I haven't messed with the settings yet to see if it can be made bigger, but it doesn't bode well that the developers don't have a better resolution set as default. Not worth buying.

Works great!

This is the only webcam app that has worked. None of the others, including EpocCam, have worked with skype and other webcam apps. It also has lots of customizable options such as image adjustments and text overlay. Works on Yosemite for me.

Works as advertised. Do try the free version first.

I used this with yahoo and it worked fine. Try the free version first to see that the software works on your PC.

Works as advertised!

This is the third "IOS device as webcam" app that I've tried (after WebCamera and EpocCam) and the first that actually worked. Connects easily and works well with Skype.

Bad and useless

I thought, hey my iphone has a great camera, why buy a web cam? Well, because this is absolutely terrible quality and it disconnects constantly and it can't record in the background so anything that pops up freezes it. Don't waste your time, money, and happiness on this garbage.

Works until it doesn't

It's fine it gets the job done, it's a bit overpriced for how in impressive the user interface is. Also after extended periods of time it crashes. A somewhat reliable buy.

wasted 5.00

I installed the app and it’s terrible. grainy video despite whatever settings you choose. There is a stamp across the bottom in blue letters that you can’t remove. I should have bought a cheap web cam instead for $10 more. Don’t waste your money.

Nope

Doesn't work. So don't try

Does not support windows 8

The app description in the iOS App Store says it supports Windows 8, but the website for the desktop software says only up to Windows 7, which appears to be the case.

The desktop client, PocketControl can view the camera and pull the audio, but no other app can find the camera, and it's not listed as a camera in the Device Manager.

The software looks like it's pretty solid, but it does not support my OS.
