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? ### 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 ### 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. ### 2/5 — Viel zu teuer *2020-08-22, version 2.5* So wie ich das sehe, hat diese App nur eine einzige Funktion, nämlich den Fernauslöser. Man hat auf der aufnehmenden Camera nur einen fingernagelgroßen Bildschirm. Keine Möglichkeit um z.B. zu zoomen oder anderes. Dafür ist die App viel zu teuer. ### 3/5 — Don’t have basic features *2019-08-07, version 2.4* The app works, but it should have a timer so that photos could be snapped after a few seconds. This is a simple feature, but it would make a lot of difference. Missed the opportunity to make a great app. ### 4/5 — Funktioniert gut.. *2019-06-29, version 2.4* ..und tut was es soll! Wie vielfach beschrieben, ist die Stream-Qualität nicht toll, aber das muss sie auch nicht sein, es geht ja nur darum grob zu erkennen was los ist, die Fotos, die man dann auslöst haben natürlich volle Auflösung und sind super! 👍 Ich habe mich so an „Live“-Pictures gewöhnt, dass es überraschend ist sie hier nicht zu bekommen, auch nicht optional. @Developer: bitte App entsprechend Updaten, dann gibts den 5. Stern. (Oder spricht technisch etwas dagegen??) ### 4/5 — Works well! *2019-03-01, version 2.4* I honestly don’t understand the bad reviews? I almost didn’t buy it cause of them! I saw that it had a recent update though so went for it. Works as advertised, pretty seamlessly really. My one complaint and the reason for a missing star is no timer cam. This is kind of an issue as I don’t want to photograph myself with a device in my hand necessarily. ### 1/5 — Will not open anymore *2018-12-28, version 2.2* Used to love it but now just crashes immediately. ### 1/5 — fix it *2018-12-26, version 2.2* it does not open the application. fix it please. iOS v12.1.2 ### 1/5 — Thief! ☹️☹️☹️☹️ *2018-12-20, version 2.2* The app will not even open!!! How do I get a refund?? ### 1/5 — Scam!!! *2018-12-08, version 2.2* STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — Не работает *2018-11-03, version 2.2* Выкидывает и не заходит ### 1/5 — Won’t even open. *2018-11-02, version 2.2* Wouldn’t open on either iPad Pro or iPhone X. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — Does not work on the latest iOS *2018-10-27, version 2.2* Program won’t even open. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — iOS12 incompatible. *2018-10-26, version 2.2* Why does Apple make such significant changes to iOS that previously working apps die? This is a great app but now doesn’t work with latest version of iOS12. Please, please, please update. What’s the point of having an app in the App Store if it is not current. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Müll *2022-07-11, version 2.5* Es funktioniert einfach nicht ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Плохо *2020-03-21, version 2.5* Качество на 0. Верните деньги ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-01-05, version 2.2* App won’t open on either iphone or iPad Pro- both up to date! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work AT ALL *2019-01-01, version 2.2* Should be ZERO Stars — Does not work on iPhone or iPad running latest iOS. Asked for refund weeks ago but received no reply from developer, just sent second request. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing work! *2020-09-19, version 2.5* This app is really helpful when I need to paste KT tapes on my back single-handedly. Hats off to the dev who keeps improving it over the years. ### 5/5 — Simple mais efficace *2020-06-07, version 2.5* J utilise l’IPAD pour commander mon IPHONE et prendre des photos de nichoir à distance. Fonctionne très bien sous IOS 13.5. Interface simple, et ça fonctionne. ### 5/5 — Works using hotspot *2020-05-05, version 2.5* I installed it on my iPad and iPhone. Enabled hotspot on my iPhone. My iPad joined my iPhone hotspot. I opened the app on both devices. My iPad saw the iPhone in the app, I tapped to connect. Allowed the app to access the camera and then it all works. My iPad sees what the phone’s camera is pointing at and I can press the shutter button on the iPad to take a photo using the iPhone’s camera. I was hoping the video resolution would be sharper but for taking photos it’s good enough. Works well and without fuss. This was used on an iPad Pro 10.5” and iPhone 11 Pro both on iOS 13. ### 5/5 — THE BEST!!! *2020-03-14, version 2.5* WORTH IT FOR 99 pesos! 🤗 ### 5/5 — 🔝perfect app *2019-03-18, version 2.4* Fa perfettamente quello che dice, per una funzione che dovrebbe essere nativa in iOs! 5 stelle meritatissime! Works perfectly, allowing a function that should be native to iOs! 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Well worth the money *2017-03-26, version 2.2* Couldn't get it to connect at first because I thought the nearby device detected would appear below the words "searching for device". Then realized that the detected devices were listed at the top of the screen. After tapping the device at the top of the screen connection was immediate between my two iphones. Each iphone sees the other iphone's camera along with a small rectangle of it own camera. Instructions for using the app could be included with the app but is not. Would have precluded my confusion concerning the detected device issue. Over all quality is very good. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Babycam! *2016-03-27, version 2.2* Works perfect as a babycam. Used an unwanted iPhone, hung it on the wall, and I can now flick on my iPad to see perfect footage of little 'un asleep. 79p well spent. ### 5/5 — very *2016-02-28, version 2.2* good ### 5/5 — Pretty cool for 99 cents *2016-02-05, version 2.2* A bit laggy yes but it great for what I needed. Looking forward to any updates. ### 5/5 — Works great ! *2016-01-27, version 2.2* I've tried a couple of apps to take pictures remotely from one iPad to another. This one really works. No bugs, no hassle. I'm very satisfied. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
