What's New in ResistorVision

1.2

May 15, 2020

Now works with all modern iPhones.

User reviews

Doesn’t work at all

The focus doesn’t allow it to work with iPhone pro cameras, with the focus being set the way it is. Great idea but poor implementation.

Useless.

Doesn’t work at all. Turns the camera / flashlight full blast. I think the glare off of the resistor is “blinding” it. Does not work at all.

Should of read the reviews first!

Causes high anxiety because it doesn’t work. Even on white paper, it just glitches and shows some color bands on bottom of screen.
No resistor values seen with multiple attempts.
Wish could get a refund but live and learn.
Dang it.

Poorly developed app

Has no focus control on camera

it only works with a paper in the background

this app is useless almost, it works only in the perfect Conditions, you have to have the resistor in a white background to make it work
it does not work if it is soldered in the motherboard or anywhere else.
