### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2021-03-04*

Yes - there are no ads, no extra buttons on the screen- EXCEPT for a big watermark on the bottom right of the screen!!

### 1/5 — THIS APP SUCKSSSSS

*2021-02-15, version 1.2.1*

It doesn’t even do what it says 🙄

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2020-10-23, version 1.2.1*

I was looking to use QT to capture video using my iphone cam while saving directly to my computer. QT does this by screen capturing your phone’s screen while using a camera on your phone. Unfortunately the camera app that comes on your iPhone has two issues. 1, QT will not flip to landscape mode for the iPhone camera app. And 2, QT is doing a screen capture, so all the buttons and settings from the camera app end up on your captured video instead of just what your camera’s video would capture. This app solves those two issues as best as I can tell. Will update this review if I find issues.

Btw, there is a watermark in the free version that you can get rid of by buying for a couple bucks. No big deal. If you like the way it works free then the purchase is an easy choice.
