## What is WiFi Camera?

WiFi Camera makes a great remote-photography tool! Set up one device to take a group photo, and use the other as a remote!

WiFi Camera will allow you to connect two iOS devices wirelessly. You will be able to receive and transmit the camera view with the other device, in addition to sending photo capture requests, which will take a full-resolution photo on the receiving device, transfer it to the requesting device, and save the photo on both devices.

Simply download WiFi Camera, install and run it on two devices or more, and it works like a charm! NOTE: You need to install and run WiFi Camera on two devices, one of which should have a camera.

- Works on all iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches! (iOS 7.0+) 
- Fast image streaming
- WiFi or Bluetooth connection
- Picture-in-picture view of what is being transmitted
- Beautiful, intuitive interface
- One-touch connect & disconnect
- Interface rotates with the device
- Facetime-like interface


Connection Issues?
It is possible that your wireless network does not support the Bonjour Networking protocol that WiFi Camera utilizes. You should make sure that both devices are successfully connected to the same wireless network and that there is successful connectivity. If this does not work, it is recommended that bluetooth be turned on for both devices.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2024-08-19, version 2.5*

I want a refund

### 1/5 — No ability to zoom on either end.

*2024-06-07, version 2.5*

No ability to zoom on either end.

### 1/5 — rausgeworfenes Geld

*2024-04-23, version 2.5*

Wäre toll gewesen eine App zu haben die mein Ipad steuert. Das funktioniert hier nicht wirklich. Eine Videofunktion existiert ebenfalls nicht

### 4/5 — Tut was es soll

*2022-07-27, version 2.5*

Funktioniert und tut was es soll. Qualität der Fotos ist top - Vorschau wird aber in niedriger Qualität angezeigt, das hat mit Daten und Bandbreite zu tun. Wem 2 Euro zu viel sind, der hat keine Ahnung wieviel Aufwand es ist so etwas zu programmieren. Am besten soll alles umsonst sein und die Entwickler sollen ihre Freizeit undankbaren Usern schenken?

### 1/5 — Müll

*2022-07-11, version 2.5*

Es funktioniert einfach nicht

### 3/5 — Ok but not great

*2022-05-14, version 2.5*

Resolution not the best but my biggest gripe is that the flash cannot be activated

### 1/5 — Garbage pure ugly garbage

*2021-05-18, version 2.5*

I actually bought this app based on an Apple review online, suggested by a so called “Genius”. 

This app is nothing more than me Alexa “drop in “call. It looks exactly the same. You cannot control one device or the other. You can only see what is going on. 

Had I want to use the Alexa drop in call, or just used iChat... it would be the same thing. 

It’s not a remote! Not at all..

I’m asking for my money back from Apple. You don’t deserve my money. You should be taken off the store. Total rip off.

### 4/5 — Löuft…

*2021-04-24, version 2.5*

Auf zwei iPads klappt das soweit recht ordentlich. Die Video-Quali ist nicht die beste. 
Die Verbindung der beiden Pads ging problemlos. 

Wünschenswert wäre eine Picture-to-Picture-Funktion oder wo man ein kleines Bild verkleinert über andere Apps legen kann.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2020-12-14, version 2.5*

•Hard to use
•Photos are not saved in order making them hard to find.
•Streaming quality is worse than an early 2000 eBay action cam.
•Saved photo quality is not much better.

This app was used between 2 iPhones. 
Ive since downloaded an app that has the same functions that dose the job 10x better..... and it was free.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work to connect to a Canon camera

*2020-10-31, version 2.5*

I purchased this app hoping to be able to connect my iPad to my wireless Canon camera.  App connects great to iPad and iPhone, but not to my camera. After rereading the reviews and description I should have realized it was compatible.  Please make descriptions clearer.
