Ratings and reviews

This is generally a good app for turning your camera phone into a web camera on your PC. I've been using it for years, mainly to check my form exercising. The USB connection can be buggy and lags a bit. The Wi-Fi connection has a very low framerate, especially at higher quality resolution. This might be more about the capabilities of my phone than the software, but I've had the same experience across two different phones. As long as you don't need it to be super responsive, it's pretty good.

Setup is a bit tedious (if you're unfamiliar with Desktop PC Android Debugging). But once I figured it out, it has been reliable. I wish the HD version had slightly better quality, it feels like there's something left on the table on my S21 ultra. Either way, it works, I get fullHD, and good framerates. Done is better than perfect!

I was originally going to give this app a 2 star review, even for the paid version. However, after looking on their website I realized I had not used the 'HD Mode' when using it through USB. As soon as I changed that setting the camera looked way better and actually stopped me from going out and spending money on a webcam. The one gripe I have is that the you can't hold down the zoom function, you have to click it each time and for some reason my PC will not open the jpegs I take with the droidcam app.
