Awful!

Just crashes

Response from developer

We're sorry you are having issues with VirtuCamera. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.

Once it's working, we'd really appreciate if you'd consider updating your review.

Great update!

Been using the app since it was released for Blender!

In v2, how can I use the custom scripts feature?

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5 stars!! Please for your question, contact us at contact@virtucamera.com, and we will be glad to help you.

Not Worth It

Installed the app on both my iPhone and iPad, but I can’t get past the QR code setup. Whenever I scan the QR code on either device, I’m immediately sent back to the same screen asking me to scan it again or manually enter the IP address. I contacted support, but they simply directed me to their FAQ page, which didn’t provide any helpful solution. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get the app working.

Hi, thanks for the feedback — we're sorry you ran into trouble. We did follow up on your support email right away and asked for a few extra details (from our FAQ's "Contacting us" section) so we could pinpoint the cause on your specific setup, but we haven't heard back from you yet. We wish we'd had the chance to resolve this with you before the review, since we were ready and waiting to help. We'd still love to get this fixed — please reply to our email whenever you get a chance and we'll take it from there.

fantastic

a very powerful tracking tool

Can’t even open the app anymore

This app used to work great, it’s unfortunate that the app simply crashes on start due to this new update

Response from developer

Hi, We are glad to inform you that the issue has been fully resolved and the fix is now ready to download from the App Store. If you have a moment, we would be very grateful if you could update your review to reflect this fix. Thank you for helping us improve!

It doesn’t work

So, whenever I use it it says update to newest version of the app, and I cant update because this is the only version of the app that I can use, unless it takes time to send an update on iPhone or something, but basically it doesn’t work but it downloaded fine in blender

Response from developer

We are sorry for your problem. This was because you downloaded the plugin version of the Pro app which was not released at the time. I am sure you were able to fix it when it was available few time afterwards. If you have a moment, we would be very grateful if you could update your review to reflect this fix. Thank you for helping us improve!

Awesome

It's a very good software. Do I need to pay extra for the professional version of the handle function? When will it be launched?

Won’t show up in blender

I tried to install the plugin on multiple versions of blender and none of them work, it wouldn’t show up on the side bar like the other addons. I use m1max MacBook. Please fix it.

Response from developer

We’re sorry you experienced this error. However, App Store reviews are not the appropriate channel for reporting or troubleshooting technical problems. Before leaving a negative review, please read our FAQ and troubleshooting guides at https://virtucamera.com/faq/. If the issue is not resolved or covered there, you may contact us at contact@virtucamera.com with the relevant technical information. We would have appreciated the opportunity to assist before the review was posted. Once the issue is resolved, please consider updating your review.

Awesome app

Just like filming a video in real life! The useful keyframing feature allows you to record the camera moves as well!

Joystick

App is amazing! Please just add a joystick so you could navigate without actually having to walk and it will be absolutely perfect!

Response from developer

Thanks Tyler for your 5 star review!! The joysticks feature have been released now with the new Pro Version subscription!

Awesome!!

Works great!!! It’s a camera in Blender you can control with your iPhone. Want more of a handheld feel for your Blender scenes, then get this app!!

Honestly not the same as the old app

If you disconnected by swiping off the screen or just by lagging off which happens way more than on the old one , you wouldn't be able to get back in unless you refreshed the app and blender scene and rescanned it also dosent have movement inplamented into the camera it's only like 360 turn around and up and down but you can move forward or back or side to side with your phone like the old app the app is extremely laggy

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. Just as in v1 you can reconnect using the bookmark to avoid having to scan the QR again. Regarding movement tracking, it's supported as well, but probably need to adjust the scene scale in Settings (or with the scale slider) to match your Blender scene, same as in v1. As for the lag, that can sometimes happen with very heavy scenes, but we haven’t seen it reported as a common issue. If you’d like, feel free to contact us at contact@virtucamera.com with your device and scene details, and we’ll be happy to help. We would appreciate the opportunity to help before a negative review is posted. Once the issue has been addressed, please consider updating your review.

Fantastic for C4D

So happy this is finally available for c4d.
The feed appears laggy at first due to the way C4D handles things. But once you play your timeline its smooth as butter.

I had a few issues and the developer responded within an hour with a fix.

The Perfect Camera Animation Tool

This plug-in is an essential part of my camera animation pipeline. I used to have to bring my scenes from cinema 4D into blender just because the plug-in only worked there but now that there’s also a new version for 4D I really couldn’t ask for anything More. Ability to just quickly connect my iPhone to my cinema for scene and watch back my animation in real time as I animate the camera is just an incredible ability to have that I couldn’t even imagine being a thing even a few years ago! Would highly recommend this plug-in anyone needing naturalistic camera movement in their scenes

Works in blender on Mac, windows still broken

Fantastic tool! I enjoyed version 1 in blender and have been awaiting the sequel to this app for years. They included the ability to navigate frames one by one, and the interface as a whole is very simple and easy to use.

The windows blender plugin is currently not working in 5.1 (or even earlier versions), but I’m sure they will be resolved soon. For now I’ve tested the app on a Mac and it works just fine after granting permissions for screen recording and device discovery.

I hope in time they add the ability to assign custom buttons on the phone interface that talk to the plugin, enabling execution of custom python scripts. Once the windows plugin for blender is fixed I’m definitely going to bump my review to 5 stars.

If you could email us at contact@virtucamera.com, our team will be happy to take a closer look. We would appreciate the opportunity to help and once the issue has been addressed, please consider updating your review.

Nice … but

Had some issues with installing the AddOn in Blender 5.1 on Windows. + The App works on my iPhone, but not on my iPad (App closes when choosing a scene-camera). So it’s great, when it works. But it’s not working everytime ..

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Regarding the Windows issue, we’d love to help troubleshoot it with you directly. Is the first time we heard is working in their iPhone but not in iPad (probably a permission issue?). Have you had a look in our great FAQ in the website? Most plugin loading problems can be avoided by following the instructions carefully. Even though, if you could email us at contact@virtucamera.com, our team will be happy to take a closer look. We’ve also had many users working successfully with Blender 5.1 on Windows with no issue at all, so hopefully this is something we can help resolve quickly on your setup. We would appreciate the opportunity to help before a negative review is posted. Once the issue has been addressed, please consider updating your review.
