Small, lightweight and with excellent ergonomics, it fits into the shape of the palm, providing comfort and easy handling to the user, for an even faster and safer procedure.

Ratings and reviews

The app appears to be in Spanish, I can't see a way to switch to English, but I could navigate it a bit. Sadly it only connected to my phone camera, and I didn't see a way to see through the boroscope/endoscope. Unlike many apps, it didn't request a million permissions, just camera permissions and permissions to save pictures(very reasonable. So it gets two stars for not being full of suspicious permission requests and not making me watch adds or covering the page with adds.

Only uses the camera from my phone.

Didn't work on my phone/tablet
