Playback on wifi or via usb cable crashes the app and only solution is to record proxy to iPhone and watch there. Please update. ### 2/5 — Good when it actually works *2022-07-20, version 2.17* This app rarely connects if at all for me. WHEN you can get a connection is quite handy. I would not recommend anyone using it on production. I would rather suggest just going to 10.98.33.1 in your browser and viewing from there. ### 2/5 — App needs work *2022-03-28, version 2.17* Can not control my zCam with phone! This app needs update and bugs fixed! ### 2/5 — Great features, does not work on 12 Pro *2022-02-22, version 2.17* I love the features when I use it with my M4 on my iPads, but my primary mobile device, iPhone 12 Pro, the app doesn’t work. The camera connects via Wifi, but the app doesn’t recognize a camera is connected. I’ve deleted, power cycled, and reinstalled the app several times, checked all permissions… it’s a significant bug I certainly hope is fixed very soon. ### 2/5 — New features request *2021-04-08, version 2.15* Please add zoom function with pinch and zoom finger controls. Also please add flip and mirror ### 3/5 — Automatic connection No longer works *2021-01-28, version 2.15* Hello there, thanks for the hard work you guys are putting into this app. I appreciate most of the changes done. I just wanted to point out something that negatively changed after the 2.14 update. Now, except for the first boot-up, even if the Iphone is connected to the camera via lightning cable, the app won’t automatically recognize the camera when you power it off and back on (unless manually disconnecting and reconnecting the lightning cable) So now I have to physically disconnect and reconnect the camera to the phone every time I turn it off to be able to access the preview and other functions (I own a Zcam F6) This occurred after the lates 2.14 update since I used to keep my phone and camera connected at all times, tuned it on and off and the app would be ready to go. This is no longer possible. In a practical level, this means that Im forced to keep the camera on at all times to be able to stay connected to the app, otherwise the app won’t recognize the camera after powering on. Idk if this makes sense to you but this means that this app is not longer useful for run and gun types of shoots when you work on batteries and need to constantly boot the system on and off to stretch battery life. Please fix this inconvenience as soon as possible! ### 3/5 — App is well made, but the connection is unreliable. *2021-01-14, version 2.15* It’s a decent app with little fat. However it lasts about a minute or two at a time before it disconnects, completely disrupting the filming. Rarely does it auto- reconnect. ### 2/5 — No support for zcam evf’s wifi feature *2020-12-08, version 2.14* No support for zcam evf’s wifi feature ### 1/5 — Can't connect *2019-03-15, version 2.2* Each time I connect WiFi with Iphone Xs and open app click control button and a message pops up with in instructions on how to connect but I'm already connected ### 2/5 — Needs updates live mode missing *2018-06-25, version 1.8* Is there going to be any updates? I see the photos you posted but this current version looks nothing like what your showing. There is no live mode or any option to control the focus. It’s really frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — RB *2024-11-20, version 2.19* App won’t work after latest update, please fix it! ### 1/5 — App no longer controls camera *2024-11-20, version 2.19* Title says it all. Hopefully fixed quickly as, in general, it does what its meant to do. ### 1/5 — app broke yesterday *2024-11-16, version 2.19* totally unusable now ### 1/5 — Not working with iPhone 13 mini *2023-03-26, version 2.17* Able to connect on Wi-Fi network to the camera but in the app it shows no connection. Unable to control or do any functions. ### 1/5 — WiFi fails to connect to iPhone *2021-07-17, version 2.15* Currently, the WiFi can’t connect my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It can for my iPad mini, so my guess it that it hasn’t been updated at all for more newer devices properly. The app hasn’t been updated in 6 months, so nothing is getting fixed so far. ### 1/5 — Potential, but no playback *2020-06-22, version 2.12* This app would be great if the playback function worked. Payback is always choppy even even with 12v power source ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on E2-M4 *2020-06-14, version 2.10* Just got my new M4 and the app doesn't recognize the camera. Even if its wifi is connected. ### 1/5 — No playback via app *2020-04-13, version 2.10* I used rec709 h.265 and still playback doesn’t work. I can use record to my phone feature but signal is choppy while camera being less than 1ft away so playback from photos comes choppy. It’s a good camera with excellent image quality however the software needs a lot of work to make this into a great camera ### 1/5 — WiFi Camera Connection DOES NOT WORK *2020-01-24, version 2.9* Connecting to Z Cam E2 via WiFi is completely non-functional right now. I have tried updating the app, updating the camera firmware, power cycling, and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. It simply does not work and a fix is needed NOW! ### 1/5 — Dud *2019-05-12, version 2.3* Connect to the wifi and does not work, bluetooth works but i need the wifi live view. It does work on my android phone. Great camera but manufacture drops the ball, website does not even have the manual or latest firmware listed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kajwaan *2024-01-20* My IPhone 11 won’t connect ### 5/5 — Extraordinary addition to my film setup. *2024-01-12* I picked up a Zcam on eBay without much research. I already have a Ninja monitor, so the addition of an app was just a bonus. Wow, this thing makes my phone seem like it’s natively designed for my camera. Mature, slick, stable, and oh so useful. Top marks and recommended without qualification. ### 5/5 — Reliable and useful app for my monitor *2023-10-21, version 2.17* I've been using this app as my monitor with my iPhone for my Z CAM exclusively for 3 years now, very reliable and love the features included. ### 5/5 — iPhone XR *2020-04-22, version 2.10* I’ve sent an email in about this issues a while ago they said they were going to look into but the wifi still doesn’t work when trying to connect through the app SOLUTION YOU HAVE TO DISABLE YOUR CELULAR DATA IN ORDER FOR IT TO CONNECT TO Z CAM WIFI ### 5/5 — Amazing control app *2020-03-20, version 2.9* This gives full control over the Z Cam cameras and mostly works flawlessly. You can even load custom LUTs! ### 5/5 — Z camtastic *2019-12-24, version 2.7* Awesome app and also works plugged into the camera with a USB C - lighting cable cable charges the phone as well . ### 5/5 — Mike *2018-12-26, version 2.0* Doesn’t require the antenna but I need it to use the app wirelessly. Otherwise works. Looking forward to future updates. ### 4/5 — Really solid! But... *2020-12-21, version 2.14* Please update to fix scaling issue on iPhone 12 Mini! ### 4/5 — What Gives? *2020-09-26, version 2.13* What’s going on with the new update? The app has never given me any issues until now. I can’t click record via the screen or see the menu options to see recording preferences or audio or anything else for that matter. The only thing that’s working is the bottom icon options. Not sure if it’s something going on with my equipment because I reset everything and reinstalled everything and it still the same problem. Please fix this. Thanks ZCAM team. EDIT: I reinstall the app. It works again. False alarm. ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated *2021-10-13, version 2.15* Good app, but not yet working for iOS 15. Please update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
