Ratings and reviews

Interesting concept but annoying when the image freezes then wont connect. Have to always close the app, reopen a couple times for it to work. Would be much more impressive if it didn't freeze all the time, AND if HD mode wasnt hidden. What's the reasoning behind that ?? Make it so you can toggle the display resolutions without having to reset the app. Fix these issues and you have a 5 star app. Otherwise prepare to be frustrated.

I use this to solve chemistry questions for my students for virtual teaching. It's a decent app, and I can use it with my OBS program when recording lessons. Very simple and straightforward to use. I use it in my Google Meets with my students whenever I'm solving review or homework questions in real time. It does tend to lag though; not a lot, but enough that it can be annoying. I thought it was my internet connection slowing it down, but that wasn't the problem. I'm grateful for it though.

The image constantly is wrong orientation, it forces my phone into landscape mode, but the camera is being shown in portrait. Flipping image on pc side does nothing and there is no option to change. Have twice randomly gotten it to work correctly only for video to fail and revert back to portrait in landscape... Fix and I may change my review but as of now not even worth the one star.
