App always freezes

This app will freeze daily for 5-10 minutes. No input accepted. It’s become a running joke in our math class. I give two stars because it will work… eventually.

Sessions keep getting dropped.

Sessions are getting dropped more frequently, very frustrating. Lately, I can’t even get on the app. When I do, the pdf (which is paid for) won’t work. This used to be very reliable.

Not very user friendly

Need to have some other settings available. When typing & clicking on buttons during video, the clicks are heard in the session???? Didn’t find anywhere to turn that off if you were wanting to do audio of a live session. Needs more work

Great app

This app rocks, I can’t believe people have such low ratings. I teach 4th grade and use this app all day long. There is nothing like it. It’s an overhead projector that you can write on. The only thing that needs to be fixed is it will often lock up at random times.

Pretty good, but...

It has a lot of things you need, but you need to pay two dollars for the camera, which is no big deal. Some of the other things include the camera is not very good quality. Things like that. Sorry if I sound a little bit negative, and I understand that apps need to make money. So over all, I think it's a great app, but needs a little updating.
Hope this helps!

Works great

I really appreciate that there are 3 different settings for video quality. Just discovered the AF lock feature. This app is perfect now.

Don't waste your money

It works -- mostly. The drawing tools are sub par and most annoying, paying $4.99 does not remove Belkin's watermark on each page.

Nonoperational

I tried clicking around and doing something but it seems like just nothing happens. Maybe I got it all wrong?

Fun

Having fun with it, like the colours, creative options. Seems to have some bugs, but it is a free version. Wish there was a help option other than tips. Can't seem to make the shapes work. Dictation is useful, but won't capitalize the first word of the first sentence.

iT

Need to update the app. Since iOS 9 it freezes or unexpectedly quits. Usually when using the camera.

Freezing

Use to be a great app. Needs updating and the company is not responding to multiple emails. DO NOT download or buy the Stage!

Was Great

Until iOS 9, I used this daily in my classroom instead of a doc cam. Unfortunately, since the upgrade, it crashes and is completely unreliable.

Help! It stopped working!

I use this app almost everyday in my classroom. After installing iOS 9 it no longer works! Please update!

Move the white bar

Great app, we use it in school often. Students hate seeing the white bar on the side when I AirPlay it to use it as a document camera. Wish there was a way to move/minimize it when you're not using it.

No Eediting😤

You can't edit videos you have already made😱

AWFUL

Do not download this app! It is a waste of time as it won't let you record a video without paying £1.49! Buy the full version, it's a lot cheaper in the long run :)

Okay?

The only problem is that i would like it that you could use your front and back camera 😓😓😭💦✌️

Could be amazing if it wasn't so buggy

Downloaded the free one to try out - OMG it crashes a ton. If Belkin can fix this I think it would be an amazing tool in the classroom. Until then I'm skeptical to download the pro one (using the text tool is particularly buggy). I'm using the latest iOS on an iPad Air (first gen).

almost

Download the free but the keyboard would not close when i typed, I thought it might have been the mismatch with the 3rd party keyboard I am using so tried again with the standard keyboard but same thing, Page froze, did not auto save what I had done. Gave it 3 good tries, NOT WORKING

Good, but not Great

I teach secondary art and demo quite a bit. While I have a document camera in my room, I've been wanting something Transportable so I can create how-to videos outside the classroom. I found this app, even purchased the pro pack, but I find it limited. Where? Mainly the menu...not a lot of help provided. I've had the app for less than a day, and already it froze on me. Not encouraging if you plan on using it while you're lecturing.
