I put new batteries in. One of the other factors is my WiFi ask for a password, and so I put in 00000000 as password and it is rejected over and over again. I’ve literally spent a hour and a half on trying to get the camera to work and I finally gave up on this piece of junk. Maybe you need a really password for the network to recognize . ### 1/5 — Is the app compatible with 11pro ? *2020-06-16, version 5.9* Doesn’t seem to be compatible with 11pro. Takes the pic but closes immediately after I press on the pic taken. Also app was last updated 4 years ago from someone in China. Likely moved on and left everyone hanging ### 1/5 — Crashes on playback *2020-06-12, version 5.9* This is utterly useless. The other reviewers are correct about the wifi problem. When I finally manage to recod a video, the app crashes when I try to play it back. ### 1/5 — Used to Connect - Doesn’t Anymore *2020-05-07, version 5.9* I suspect that the developers have moved on and haven’t updated this app to work with the current IOS. The endoscope used to connect easily and although was cheap, it was still useful when needed. Now it is just scrap. Poor customer service in my view, which doesn’t surprise me!! ### 1/5 — Dont waste your money or doenloads *2020-04-28, version 5.9* The app doesnt connect or work at all. Most likely an app to be hacked ### 1/5 — Full of problems *2020-03-09, version 5.9* There is always problems with the connection... ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2020-02-02, version 5.9* Connected to camera’s WiFi signal, but app wouldn’t recognize it. Instructions are in broken English and aren’t helpful. ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish *2020-01-05, version 5.9* Used once and worked, now will not connect to an of my ipads ### 1/5 — Not so helpful *2019-10-27, version 5.9* This app is pretty much worthless. ### 1/5 — Device doesn’t connect, no support available *2019-06-09, version 5.9* After download the apps found on the retailer’s site, connecting the device to its wifi, and running the imaging app, nothing works. It’s a shame and I will have to return the device. All attempts to reach the developers of both hardware and software failed. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-04-09, version 5.9* Doesn’t connect to camera ### 1/5 — One hit wonder *2019-03-06, version 5.9* Used it 1 time. Now camera won’t connect to the app.. what a waste of $$. No instructions to trouble shoot, no option to get help. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-01-24, version 5.9* Failed to connect,virtually no instructions.Won’t work with iPad. ### 3/5 — Works well when it wants to. *2019-01-09, version 5.9* Great little tool for someone who doesn't want to spend a boat load of money. The app is finicky wish they would update it regularly but last update was in 2016. It's awesome when it works. But you have to play with it a lot just to get it to sync. Bought this off amazon and was expecting something awesome. But it's mediocre at best just because of the app and probably firmware on the unit itself. ### 1/5 — No good *2018-12-10, version 5.9* Item was very reluctant to connect to iPad or phone. Now wants a pass word that I have never set. So I cannot use it at all . Contacted developer wit no luck. Works great for making money off suckers. ### 1/5 — Worst of the worst *2018-12-02, version 5.9* If there is a more frustrating app out there I haven’t seen it. This app loses connectivity with such regularity that it is unusable. Literally. What showed such potential fell painfully short. Total and absolute waste of money and time. ### 1/5 — Constantly disconnects from Wi-Fi or doesn’t load camera image *2018-09-08, version 5.9* Crap. Waste of money for the device. Wasted sooo much time trying to reconnect after only getting an image for a few seconds. New batteries, etc. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy if you have the latest apple product *2017-12-10, version 5.9* When I had my iPhone 6 Plus, this connected just fine to it. Put since I got an iPhone 7 Plus, it will not not even connect to it or see it on Bluetooth. My iPod Touch won’t even see it on Bluetooth. Don’t waste your money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works on latest iPhone and iPad updates. *2024-08-28, version 6.0* This app no longer works. The WiFi does not connect to iPhone or ipad ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-11-12, version 6.0* Camera connection only when it feels like it. Rubbish ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2023-07-02, version 6.0* I purchased the endoscope in 2017 and the app worked well with an iPaf Air or an iPhone X. I upgraded my devices and the software doesn’t connect anymore, the wifi stopped working with an iPhone 14 Pro and an iPad Air 5th gen. I think it’s a software compatibility problem that the publisher should address, probably with an update. ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-06-23, version 6.0* It's 2022 and this app doesn't work on my iPhone - keeps requiring an Internet connection. I am not giving this application access to the Internet or my personal network. If it can't work using just the ad-hoc connection then f-it! That is a threat to security. ### 1/5 — Total joke. *2022-03-18, version 6.0* Sorry if you bought one of there cameras. ### 1/5 — Depstech wifi endoscope *2021-05-26, version 6.0* I spent several hours trying to get this app and the endoscope to function. Device was plugged into my desktop computer USB port and its battery was charged. My iPhone recognized the Depstech wifi and I successfully logged in as indicated by blue led ‘flicking’ (their word). That’s all that happened. I was never able to see camera images on iPhone screen. Deleted and reinstalled app. No better. Power cycled device to reboot. Nothing. Finally returned endoscope to Amazon. No more Depstech stuff for me. Strangely, the Depstech endoscope gets high praise on Amazon reviews but its iPhone app gets bad reviews from Apple. Could it be that the device works well with Android app? Total failure for me and my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Frustration software *2021-02-18, version 6.0* Works sometimes for a minute or two and then crashes. Restarting app and scope hardware doesn’t help. Restarting phone is required. Worse than useless. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Simply does not work. *2021-01-18, version 6.0* Doesn’t work. App freezes after attempting to connect to camera. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work - here's a fix! *2020-11-25, version 6.0* The app is old and unsupported but don't despair if like me you have one of the cameras. You can connect to the camera wifi and use a browser to view the image by going to http://192.168.1.1:8080/ ### 1/5 — I longer works after ios14 *2020-10-21, version 6.0* Sadly the iOS update to 14 had killed this , I now have just a long flexible pokey light with no means of connection to the camera Get it fixed please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant bit of kit *2021-01-01, version 6.0* I don’t know why these other folks are giving poor reviews. I have used this endoscope since 2016 with no problem. Make sure you are connecting to the camera using WiFi and not Bluetooth. It is quite easy to forget if it has been a few months since you last used it. Currently I have a second generation iPhone 5SE running Apple’s 14.2 OS software. Bang upto date, no problems. Recommend purchasing if you can find one. ### 5/5 — Nice idea, perhaps poor hardware design *2019-06-10, version 5.9* To use this app you must make a WiFi connection with the scope, but even with fresh batteries, the WiFi can’t be found. Once connected, you tap a button in the app to see the video. The connection may last a few minutes, or more likely 10-20 seconds before it freezes, then you have to restart the video, restart the app, or restart your phone. It worked better when new, although always problematic, so I don’t have much confidence in the app being improved or even compatible in future iOS versions. Also, the image comes in at some random angle so it’s disorienting to use. You’d probably be much happier with a scope with its own display. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2017-10-30, version 5.9* This app functions just as it should, captures images and records video with my Aardvark HD3M without any problems! ### 5/5 — Good value *2017-02-23, version 5.9* Works well with the endoscope. One time app set up and then you're good to go for future use. Good value ### 5/5 — Works just fine!! *2016-06-14, version 5.9* Okay I am using an iPhone 6 Plus and an iPad loaded the software on both from the App Store, connected them both to the camera via WiFi using the password provided in the instructions - works perfect. Tried recording with an active microphone - works perfect! Software is simple to operate with no frills. ### 5/5 — Great all round package *2016-01-11, version 5.8* Bought to find hidden cables, works perfectly with no problems ### 5/5 — Wifi endoscope app *2015-10-11, version 5.8* I was able to turn my device on with power button as directed, uploaded this app after researching for a minute to what may be the easiest way to use my endoscope. I literally turned on Wifi, found my endoscope, put in the password and the unit worked perfect. Great amount of light. Great picture on my camera. And quite inexpensive compared to the $1k unit I was going to invest in. I generally buy only American made, but could not find one for what this does and anything less than a house payment. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2015-06-10, version 5.0* Worked fine with both iPad and iPhone video and stills great. Good color ### 5/5 — Awesome Tool! *2014-06-12, version 4.8* Super easy, quick iTunes download and everything works. A must have for all Cable, Phone installers. Plumbers and electricians. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2014-06-11, version 4.8* Excellent connecting to iPhone, no messing about, used fairly short distance so far but well impressed --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
