Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for about 2 years now and it has been mostly disappointing. When it works it is great! When it does not, there is little to no trouble shooting steps to get my phone to be recognized by the NDI app on my computer. I just have to close the program and hope it finds my device 'eventually.' I do not need anything fancy, but the unreliability of the app is what drives me to only give it 2 stars. The app has not been updated in a year.

This app is pretty terrible on the Samsung S21 5G. It opens and all you get is a black screen. and that is all it transmits, a black screen. Completely useless. It is not a permissions issue I checked. I also made sure that there were no network issues and other NDI sources were working just fine. I put in for a refund, but the fact that the app does not do what it is supposed to do is apparently not grounds for a refund. They get one star because I could not give them anything less.

Only displays a black screen in webcam app using Pixel 6 and Android 13. Will request refund if not fixed by update. $20 for an app that doesn't work on Google's phone seems to be a big problem. UPDATE - Suddenly the app started working and I was able to connect the phone to ProPresenter without a hitch. The picture quality and sound were terrific (as good as the phone). It could use more documentation but it works for my purpose.
