### 3/5 — Full featured?

*2022-10-08*

I am using this app to capture wildlife video from inside a camouflaged tent shooting through a screen. Two things I need to do with this app:
1. Switch to video mode. The app comes up in still photo mode. 
2. Auto-Focus lock on infinity rather than macro focus on the screen. 
3.  Don't timeout and quit the app.  This might be an iPhone setting for screen lock but the app also seems to quit after a timeout. 

Can't figure out how to do any of these.
If the app can do it, please explain how. If not, please add these simple functions and don't claim you can control all the camera features until you actually can.

### 2/5 — Not exactly as advertised

*2019-10-17*

You have to launch both the phone and watch apps separately. The claim of Siri opening it on your phone from your watch (shown in apps intro image) is not true. 
The premium feature of blacking out your phone screen is also inaccurate; there is an icon that remains. 
Without a true remote feature, you might as well use the Apple shutter app and switch to video on your phone.

### 3/5 — ยังมีบัคขณะเซฟรูป

*2017-05-07, version 1.2.0*

รูปที่ถ่ายเสร็จไม่ขึ้นตัวอย่างให้ดู เพิ่มเติมระบบวัดแสงจะดีขึ้นมาก

### 1/5 — Mala

*2017-04-10, version 1.2.0*

Mala app, la compre más la actualización de paga y no funciona en el iwatch

### 1/5 — $2 for ads

*2017-01-17*

I've never left a review for an app before but this app is a scam. You pay then still have ads. It also has less functionality then the default app. Zero stars.

### 1/5 — ダメダメ

*2017-01-14*

Watch側とiPhone側それぞれでアプリ立ち上げないと使えない。
純正カメラ以下です

### 1/5 — Butch

*2016-12-07*

This is pure rubbish, I felt like 
A full falling for that scum first 
It never work well and it full of stupid adds..

### 4/5 — 还是不错的

*2016-11-01*

放大功能挺强，在手表上反应慢一些，可能是apple  watch本身的原因

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-10-18*

Video capture just doesn't work for me. You have to run their companion app on the phone. Sometimes the watch syncs up sometimes it doesn't. I tried changing the wake time as they suggested to no effect. Video just ends capture immediately. I feel like I just flushed $1.99 down the drain.

### 1/5 — Don't buy - scam app

*2016-09-17*

Don't bother buying this. As soon as you open the app it tells you the you need to verify the purchase with your Apple ID and won't allow any functionality.

Waste of money and a scam.

### 1/5 — ES UN ROBO!!!! Cobran por la apto y meten anuncios que estorban

*2016-07-25, version 1.2.0*

Meten anuncios que estorban. Es un robo

### 1/5 — 各种广告！收费

*2016-06-15*

我只能呵呵了，付费软件进去还有广告？好吧，这个忍了，买完软件进去之后，有的功能居然要从新付费升级！广告要付费去除，真是良心软件啊，很有套路啊，6的不要不要的！城会玩阿！谁买谁后悔！

### 3/5 — 99 cents for a free version!

*2016-05-31*

Very frustrating to learn that I had to pay a dollar for a "free" version of this app. Ads, and not all features are available. But for an additional 2 bucks I can remove the ads and get the rest of the features. This should have been a free app. Works ok, not great. Can't launch the app from my watch like you can the camera app that comes on the watch. But can start and stop video, which was the main reason for getting this.

### 2/5 — Pop up ads

*2016-05-24*

Issues syncing and hate the pop up ads, get in the way of pictures. Should not have ads on paid version

### 1/5 — I

*2026-04-16*

Pathetic app. Unable to connect with watch ultra 3. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2025-12-09*

The app does not show up on my watch. Incompatible?

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2021-01-14*

App does not work as advertised. Gotta pay to get the app, then once ya installed, then ya gotta pay again if ya want full control with your watch and it didn’t even work for me. I had to open the app from my phone for it to work. The stock apple app works better and it was free with buying my watch and phone. Save your money people! They jus want your money. App deleted.

### 1/5 — ไม่แนะนำ

*2020-08-27, version 1.2.0*

การเชื่อมต่อระหว่างโทรศัพท์ติดๆหลุดๆ การสบัดข้อมือถ่ายรูปไม่ค่อยติด

### 1/5 — Перевод

*2020-04-05*

Где перевод на русский язык?????

### 1/5 — 不能唤醒锁屏的手机

*2019-10-21*

必须先打开手机上的app并且保持不关闭才能在watch 上遥控，不能像watch 自带的相机程序直接可以唤醒锁屏的手机！没什么卵用，不建议购买

### 1/5 — なんか変

*2019-07-23*

ビデオ撮ったら、早巻きで撮れていた。
？？？

### 1/5 — Do Not Buy This App

*2019-05-14*

❗️❗️❗️Do Not Buy This App❗️❗️❗️
👎👎👎This app is worthless! Pay version has many ads! I’m deleting it right now..👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Should be free with inapp upgrade

*2017-07-29*

purchased the app before realizing after paying .99 for the App I would need to spend another 1.99 for professional mode?!?!? I can't get the shake to shoot to work and when I try to adjust the sensitivity it says I need to buy pro mode. 

I could understand a free app with an in app purchase but I feel I should be able to use the primary feature that the app touts without having to pay more. Feels pretty scammy.

### 1/5 — 垃圾软件

*2017-07-02*

花钱买了，啥用没有。而且里面还有内购买，才能打开全部功能，问题是都打开功能也没啥用，里面纯英文。

### 5/5 — 100%

Brilliant just bought the app had no trouble with it well worth the money works on iPhones

### 5/5 — ปลุกมือถือได้จะดีมาก

Useful and easy to use by shaking wrist.

### 5/5 — Super!!!!

*2017-02-19, version 1.2.0*

funciona de maravilla solo que tienes que comprar primero la version basica y luego la de 35 para tener acceso a todo sin publicidad. va genial en mi iphone y se ve super en el Apple Watch

### 5/5 — 希望更稳定一点

*2016-11-26*

希望更稳定一点，以前会出线录不到

### 5/5 — Tut das was die richtige Foto app tun sollte

*2016-08-25*

Diese App erfüllt alles, was man von der offiziellen Foto app eigentlich erwartet, aber nicht bekommt. Diverse Einstellmöglichkeiten, Unterstützt Videos, knipst mit einem Armschütteln, und funktioniert vor allem zuverlässig. 

Leider ist die Vorschau Qualität auf der Uhr nicht wirklich gut, deutlich schlechter und langsamer als die offizielle Foto app. Nehme an das liegt - mal wieder - an Apple Beschränkungen, daher ziehe ich keinen Stern dafür ab. Die Vorschau reicht auf jeden Fall völlig um das Bild in Szene zu setzen.

### 5/5 — Love the new shake to shoot feature.

*2016-05-16*

I've been using the RemoteCam since V1. Loved their Digital Crown zooming feature, but the recent addition of the shake wrist to take selfie was a nice surprise. Finally there is a cool new feature I can show off to my friends to justify using the Apple Watch. A good selfie is priceless.

### 5/5 — Great !!

*2016-05-08*

It take high quality pictures and working good.

### 5/5 — Super pratique

*2016-03-02*

Super pour lancer un enregistrement depuis son Apple Watch sans toucher son iPhone

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2015-12-29, version 1.1.1*

Owaoo!! I can control smoothly my iPhone's camera by it. thanks for this useful app.
