### 1/5 — Fake | Only 720p

*2025-07-08*

It only outputs 720p.

### 3/5 — How to get rid of the hud?

*2022-08-05*

There’s no way of recording without the letters and display?

### 3/5 — App en Mac

*2022-05-14*

La aplicación en MacOS Monterrey se cierra

### 5/5 — Best app for streamers

*2021-10-14*

I searched high and I searched low and wasted money on other apps, but this is hands down the best one for capturing video from my old iPhone 8, allowing full 4K streaming to OBS Studio. Very easy-to-use interface while giving you full control of the camera. Well worth the money and this app will save you money because you won’t have to buy an expensive high res webcam.

### 3/5 — Quanto terá opção em Windows?

*2021-09-10*

Quando terá conectividade com o sistema operacional Windows ?

**Developer response:** Oi,

Infelizmente, não tenho certeza. Estamos trabalhando nisso, mas ele está em pausa no momento.

Obrigado.

### 2/5 — Preis zu teuer - Nur Abo

*2021-07-31*

Die OBS App gibt es zum kaufen ohne Abo, hier nur ein Jahres Abonnement. Nein Danke!

**Developer response:** Hallo,

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung.

Ein Abonnement ist die einzige Möglichkeit, um sicherzustellen, dass wir die Anwendung in Zukunft weiter verbessern können.

Alles Gute,
W.

Hello,

Thank you for your review.

Subscription is the only way to make sure we can keep improving the application in the future. 

All the best,
W.

### 2/5 — No one-time purchase

*2021-06-08*

Though the app works just fine I give it only 2 stars and definitely going to delete it because of one major flaw - there is no one-time purchase option in comparison with Camera for OBS studio (which is another app by the same guys) and Epoccam. Fcuk the subscription model, this is greediness and nothing more.

**Developer response:** Hi N'Lited,

Thank you for your feedback. Telecast requires development for 3 seperate platforms requiring a lot more work than Camera for OBS Studio, hence the choice for subscription. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to keep working on Telecast without a subscription.  

Don't hesitate to message us if you want to discuss further.
Thanks,
W.

### 4/5 — It's a good start, but missing one key feature

*2021-05-17*

I love this app, however I think there is a feature that Camo has that Telecast should: the ability to change the settings of the app directly over the computer. Because when you set your camera up in the best angle possible and you realize that the white balance is off, it's frustrating to have to go on the phone to change those settings. This feature has to be a priority. Besides that, the rest is perfect!

**Developer response:** Hi friseintense,

Thank you for the review. 

You are in luck, we just finished the new version of Telecast which includes remote controls via the macOS app. We hope to release it to everyone in two weeks. If you want early access you can send us an email and we will get you up and running. 

Thanks for your support.
W.

### 1/5 — Poor connectivity

*2021-05-14*

Every time open the app it lags or stops working. I stopped using it and and quitting the subscription. Don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Hi Jesus Face,

I am very sorry to hear about the issue. 

Could you give us more details, what computer are you using, what is the general setup?  You can reach out via our website https://telecast.camera/docs/contact

Thanks,
W.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-03-09*

I LOVE this app — since the pandemic came down I’ve been using Telecast pretty much every day, for Zoom, for OBS recordings and streaming, and for recording lectures. It takes full advantage of the excellent camera on my iPhone 11, and produces professional looking video with lots of user control. I’ve used it to do some work with green screen (chromakey) and get a really crisp clean cutout thanks to the excellent camera resolution. 

Bottom line: works as advertised, adds a really powerful video camera on your laptop for little cost. 

I have no connection whatsoever to the developer, I’m just really happy with Telecast.
