### 5/5 — Powerful and Reliable Prototyping Tool

*2026-07-13*

I’ve been using ZIG SIM PRO for XR prototyping, and it has become one of the essential tools in my workflow. Streaming sensor data, ARKit tracking, image detection, and other device features to development environments is incredibly easy and reliable. It saves a tremendous amount of development time and lets me focus on building experiences instead of writing boilerplate code. Highly recommended for XR developers, creative coders, and anyone working on interactive installations.

### 3/5 — Cameras incompatible with iOS 26.x

*2025-09-30*

The cameras no longer work with the update to iOS. Eg., select ARKit, Tracking Type: Face, Feature Points: on and click Start. The data no longer updates. Click on the camera, which turns yellow, and then displays only a black screen.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 14 latest iOS

*2023-11-09*

Depth map crashes, no Fb from the Cie after sending them report…. So a shame

### 4/5 — NDI and ARKIT not possible simultaneously?

*2023-09-04*

I don't understand why it is not possible to stream both at the same time? Is this a hardware limitation or a choice by the developers? Makes the app not useful for my purposes :(

### 5/5 — ARKit problem

*2023-04-17*

Thanks for your awesome product.
Although, I have problem with ARkit, i’m using iphone 12 pro max and in ARkit section, it always jumps out of the application when i try to set it up on my computer. Do you have any solution to help me out?

### 2/5 — AR body tracking keeps crashing

*2022-12-06*

ARKIT body tracking keeps crashing when there is any movements. I am trying to connect it with my touchDesigner. Everything else works great, though. Developers, could you please fix ?

### 5/5 — 无法通过osc发送传感器数据

*2022-06-03*

Hi，通过测试软件可以通过josn发送数据，但通过osc只能收到iphone的机器信息并不能收到osc信息，help

### 2/5 — Doesn’t seem to work with 5Ghz networks

*2022-03-19*

Just gives me “unknown socket error”. NDI doesn’t work at all. Honestly the free version seems to be a lot more reliable overall

### 4/5 — Great app, mega!

*2021-12-23*

My only gripe is I am unsure if it works in landscape mode rather than portrait? I wonder if you could confirm. Many thanks

### 2/5 — Doesn’t roll

*2021-05-14*

May be it’s possible to make this app go from portrait to land mode on iPad . On iPhone that’s ok
