Ratings and reviews

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Phone and have the Klein Tools Scope App downloaded. It works good except for when I take a photo, it says it is saved to Photos. But when you go there there is Nothing ! When I use the video option and save it , it says it goes in the video folder and when I look, it's there. I uninstalled & reinstalled and same thing, is there an update for this App ?

Similar to what another reviewer said, the scope no longer works when plugged into the phone. It lights up and the phone detects it, but no video, it says no ET16 connected, though it obviously is. Tried flipping the plug, tried reinstalling the app. I'm using a Pixel 8, all current updates installed. While this thing was never great it used to be at least satisfactory. Now, I can't even get a picture, making it worthless. This doesn't live up to the quality I expect from Klein.

No Longer Works! I am using a fully updated Samsung Galaxy S23+. The app has been updated, un-installed, re-installed, and all permissions have been given. This app and borescope worked about a year ago when I used it last, but not anymore. When I try to click the record button, an error message appears saying "No ET16 Connected". When I try to modify the USB connection settings, the control will not switch control modes. Still waiting for support to get back to me.
