Simple app, needs pinch to zoom to switch to wide angle camera on phones that have that. Also, ability to flip preview in x-axis/horizontal (to allow a TV to act as a mirror when using mhl to hdmi cables), you know, like selfie cameras can be previewed as is or mirror mode... That will also allow users to use with HDMI capture devices to preview themselves on desktops/laptops for zoom/OBS without having to mess with software settings... Great app. Missing those two features. Also remove nav bar

Updated my review - it's perfect now! :) Thank you!! ----------- This is exactly what I have needed for a while now but I need the other camera, the front-facing camera. I was hoping you could swipe up on the preview and it would switch cameras but that is not the case. I tried taking your application apart, looking at the code as well to see if I could possibly just swap the chosen camera in the code but was not successful.

Now v1.1 supports front/back camera.
Thank you for the suggestion!

This can be used in conjunction with screen mirroring to stream over zoom at a higher image fidelity than what normal zoom video streaming allows at the cost of lower frame rates. A good use case for this is streaming mostly still images where image quality is more important than frame rate such as a board game.
