Awful

Crazy delay

Response from developer

To reduce delay, you need to increase the frame sending frequency in the app settings (the third button from the top if the iPhone is in portrait orientation). This is a free feature, and you can test it.

WiFi needed?

It seems like the app has been changed and now both devices must be connected to WiFi for a successful connection. Now I can’t record outdoors using my older phone as a remote. Is this a permanent change?

Response from developer

There are no changes to the connection method between the two devices. A connection to a Wi-Fi router is not required. It's possible that one of your devices is sharing the internet with another device. This could be interfering with the connection. You can check and disable this in iOS settings: Settings > Personal Hotspot. If this does not help, you need to find out what else might be interfering with the connection in the place where the connection does not work.

It Works Perfectly

I wanted a way to view my iPhone camera image on my iPad mini as it’s a larger screen. I tried several other apps but each of them were either buggy or not simple to use. This app works perfectly, it’s simple to use, it’s extremely inexpensive, and it has solved my problem. Great app.

Must Have for Newtonian Telescope

This app is perfect for using while collimating newtonian telescopes. The image overlay and the ability to adjust focus and zoom lets you use this app and your existing phone to replace a multi-hundred dollar alinement camera. I would recommend that you get a phone holder to keep your camera in line with the imaging plane. I have not tried the remote capability yet, but it is perhaps worth ft for adjusting larger scopes to see real time what you are doing without moving back and forth to the eyepiece. I don’t normally rate app, but this one is too useful to not.

If you have no idea what i mean when I say “collimating a newtonian,” but you need a app that gives you the option of manual control over you phone camera, then this app is the one for you.

Not working.

Only get black screen when switching to iPhone camera. Tried reversing the camera and controller options but still doesn’t work.
Even after purchasing.

UPDATE
Finally got it working. What wasn’t clear was that the “Local Network “
had to be selected.
Since there is no “guide “ , I had to figure it out myself.
Stupid is as stupid does! Lol

Response from developer

The app likely doesn't have access to your camera. You need to check your privacy settings: Settings > Privacy > Camera.
