Ratings and reviews

Edited review: Originally had a broken cardboard VR mode. Contacted the developer and they fixed the cardboard view issues I was having. The eject hardware function still seems to freeze the application, but having a functional VR mode now is huge. 4 stars since the response to my complaint was very quick and they fixed the problem, but the application can still be buggy in certain parts of the UI. Other than that, excellent application.

Tried to use with an endoscope/ borescope. It has a variety of settings and features, but UI not so good. Worst of all -ads cover a portion of the screen, which becomes significant in landscape mode. That made me uninstall and instead use an alternate app called "Endoscope Camera". Much simpler, and automatically comes up showing the image as soon as I plug in the camera. After all, that's really all that I need it to do. No prompts, settings, questions... it just runs and records if needed.

Finally a USB camera app that doesn't freeze within 10 seconds. I don't know how old this app is. Last time I tried and uninstalled 4 or more apps. That was months ago. I tried again and found this one. And its a keeper. No weird changes to your phone. Just an app that actually does what I downloaded it for. And for that I take the effort to give you a positive review. Thank you. If it continues to work well I will buy pro.
