Ratings and reviews

Needs more customization options like resolutions and ratio of cam, the interface on phone takes too much space and does not adapt to the phone's orientation. The pc software's design is just bad. Well, i have not tried the paid version.

Used this for a few years and it was great. Now it contains ads that open up the app store automatically, which is already intolerable. But with this app, switching away from it allows my phone to go to sleep, disconnecting the video feed. It technically works but don't waste your time.

It's a nice app and I don't have much need so use it very rarely - but why can't the free version allow rotating the video. Rather it should auto rotate like with camera on phone. Why would anybody want sideways or upside down video view? Rotate is very basic which needs to be available for free use.
