Ratings and reviews

Previous post: in diagnosis, couldn't get the app to work more than once on 2 Pixel phones. - Determined on both the 6 and the 3a I was testing with that USB Debugging kept turning itself off within Dev Options. Unsure why at this point but an easy enough thing to fix until I can figure out how to stop it. Tested with multiple USB cables on 2 different computers. Other than the config issues, the app is a very useful tool for anybody looking for a superior webcam, we all already have one!

It's been incredibly useful, especially with the pandemic. That being said, I really wish it had a 1080p streaming option. I know the phone is capable, but the app bottlenecks to 720p. It has occasionally locked up and I've had to restart the desktop client, but I think that's on the desktop side and it is both rare and easily fixed.

At first I was not super impressed but I just now saw that there was a separate program that lets you get 720p footage from your camera over USB. WOW. Day and night difference! This app has suddenly become the best thing on my phone. I was able to use it to record footage for a live stream and it looked absolutely amazing. Phone didn't overheat and the app runs in the background so even though the screen was off, it kept recording. A+++
