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. ### 4/5 — Works as advertised. Do try the free version first. *2015-05-17, version 2.13* I used this with yahoo and it worked fine. Try the free version first to see that the software works on your PC. ### 3/5 — Works until it doesn't *2014-05-13, version 2.10* 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. ### 4/5 — request *2013-05-11, version 2.7* u should add a default button for ur visual setting i cant get it back to the way it was when i first downloaded the app ### 1/5 — PocketCam *2011-03-20, version 1.8.1* Biggest waste of five bucks I have ever spent in the app store. I should have invested in a gallon of gas instead of this app. Quality is horrible, thanks for the rip off. ### 1/5 — So not happy *2011-02-22, version 1.8.1* I downloaded it on my iPhone and CPU and nothing happened. Hope you enjoyed your 5 cash;( ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2011-02-15, version 1.8.1* The crummy video quality and lackluster feature set and documentation hardly make this app worth .99, let alone $5. Only purchase if you enjoy frustration and hate money. ### 1/5 — Don't Buy It! *2011-01-12, version 1.7.1* It likes to disconnect a lot - but that isn't the worst problem! It kills your audio on your computer! I have a Windows 7 machine. Lost all audio on the computer until I uninstalled their software then all of a sudden my audio works again...hmmmm... let's see.... Software is iffy at best. This software is not ready for primetime. For an iphone app, at most 99cents - at 5 dollars, a total rip off! Avoid. ### 2/5 — Horrible quality *2010-10-27, version 0* Image quality on either iphone 4 camera is horrible even on best setting. It works just fine though. ### 4/5 — Good app *2010-10-26, version 0* Still needs some fixes. 3GS user ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2010-10-21, version 0* First it worked, now it doesn't. Great waste of 5 bucks. I should have looked at the reviews. ### 3/5 — A temporary fix *2010-10-14, version 0* For a heads up, yes this app is broken and needs to be updated again. What I did notice though was that when j first downloaded the app, it worked fine. When I tried to use it for a second time, it wouldn't open properly due to the Bluetooth message causing the app to freeze. So, for those of you who are patient, you can just delete and reinstall the app after each use until it works properly again =) it doesn't take that long ### 2/5 — iPhone 4 and still not working *2010-10-12, version 0* The app still doesn't work. Loads then back to the home screen within seconds. Even with the update released today it fails. Get the app working you guys! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please remove *2020-04-07, version 3.0* Please remove this app from the store. I cannot reach the developers on any of their web addresses. ### 1/5 — Do Not Buy *2018-10-23, version 3.0* The app is no longer supported. The page to download the driver leads to a phishing extension download ### 1/5 — AVOID - web site gone no software for computer *2018-08-31, version 3.0* Will be looking at how to get a refund, for the first time. Very unhappy to see Apple hasn’t pulled this down. ### 1/5 — Unsupported product *2018-03-08, version 3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Bad and useless *2014-08-13, version 2.12* 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. ### 1/5 — wasted 5.00 *2014-04-14, version 2.8* 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 $10 more. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Nope *2014-03-14, version 2.8* Doesn't work. So don't try ### 1/5 — Does not support windows 8 *2014-01-19, version 2.8* The app description in the iOS App Store says it supports Windows 8, but the website for the desktop software says only up to Windows 7, which appears to be the case. The desktop client, PocketControl can view the camera and pull the audio, but no other app can find the camera, and it's not listed as a camera in the Device Manager. The software looks like it's pretty solid, but it does not support my OS. ### 1/5 — Crappy resoluton *2013-01-18, version 2.4* Pictures look really bad , i dont recomend it ### 1/5 — Crap *2012-03-20, version 2.2* Sorry guys it works but looks really bad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great! *2016-03-26, version 2.14* This is the only webcam app that has worked. None of the others, including EpocCam, have worked with skype and other webcam apps. It also has lots of customizable options such as image adjustments and text overlay. Works on Yosemite for me. ### 5/5 — ❗️❗️ ❗️❗️ WARNING!! *2015-02-06, version 2.13* ❗️❗️This may NOT work for you, try FREE version BEFORE PURCHASING ❗️❗️ ### 5/5 — Works as advertised! *2014-11-30, version 2.13* This is the third "IOS device as webcam" app that I've tried (after WebCamera and EpocCam) and the first that actually worked. Connects easily and works well with Skype. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-07-05, version 2.7* Works great! ### 5/5 — Very fast nice service *2012-03-05, version 2.2* I had some issues , I sent email and got fast response with actions telling me step by step how to fix it , over all I can't complain great app and more importantly great service ! ### 5/5 — Pocket WOW! *2011-11-29, version 2.1* This is awe$ome. I can use this as a webcam for vlc and skype and other things. But can you please please please add support for Linux(ubuntu specifically)? I run it alongside windows and the only other thing I have is a junky camera. ### 5/5 — No problem *2011-02-17, version 1.8.1* Does what it claims. Good to use as a wireless webcam ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for... *2010-03-31, version 0* Works perfect for Skype. I was going to buy a web cam but this does the trick! ### 5/5 — Great support *2010-03-06, version 0* 100% works everytime. Now with mic function I will deff start working on some form of iChat with openssh ### 5/5 — good *2009-12-21, version 0* its good I had little problem making this program work at first, guess i downloaded wrong software. I email them for support and they were quick to answer i do recommend. I think they have the wrong link on there app page. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
