### 1/5 — No longer working

*2023-12-02, version 1.7*

No image on iPhone 15 Pro, still works on 11 Pro

### 1/5 — NDI camera only viewable on a Tricaster

*2023-09-11, version 1.7*

Okay it’s old and been replaced by the NEW shiny HX app - but on Vmix it won’t allow you see the feed ‘assign it to a switcher input on a Newtek Tricaster” wouldn’t bother

### 4/5 — Wollte Camera ohne Bedienungselementen.

*2023-03-13*

Ist eigentlich super aber warum geht mein Mikro nicht an?

### 1/5 — Last week’s update broke the app

*2020-10-28*

Just like their NDI HX Camera app, the quality dial won’t stay set to the highest setting if you quit the app and relaunch it.  They should revert to the previous version ASAP!

### 1/5 — Version Needs Updating

*2020-06-28*

My computer sees my IPAD, but asking for an update. Please update this version so that it can be used.

### 1/5 — Blank screen on OBS

*2020-04-18*

OBS is able to detect the stream but the video output is just a blank screen

### 1/5 — Misleading app marketing

*2020-03-18, version 1.1*

App Store page makes it sound like this would work for any NDI system, but actually it requires you to have a NewTek TriCaster. They make no mention of this until you actually view the app’s NDI output across the network - instead of outputting your iPhone camera’s picture, it outputs a title card saying you need a TriCaster. Lame!

### 5/5 — Works great!  But need to know this.

*2019-11-21*

This app runs gives you live video up to 4K as a NDI input into a TriCaster. 

The key thing to know is that the TriCaster must be running Rev 7-1 software.  If you can’t get it working you will need to verify if (or wait until) this software release is available for your model system.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-11-15, version 1.0*

Does not work on my iPad with my TC Mini AE3. Getting audio but the image simply says May require software update.

### 2/5 — To Be Determined

*2019-11-13*

My TriCaster 410 (advanced edition 3) sees that my phone is an available camera but only displays an image that I might need to update my software.  Both my phone and TriCaster are updated to their latest software versions.
