Ratings & Reviews

3.7 out of 5 (18 Ratings)
Still missing functionality (e.g. using the front-facing camera, using portrait orientation, and various things in the Mac app that this is a companion to) but it’s a good start, and I look forward to improvements down the line. At first, I had the same issue as the other reviewer, where it showed up black on my Mac. But after some playing, I realized it’s actually just somewhat misleading: in the Mac app, there are various thumbnails for different setups, and one of them mentions the iOS camera. But this doesn’t actually set the camera; you can use any camera with any preset. You’ll need to hit the camera icon (bottom center of video) to switch to the connected phone.

I noticed this as a new app on SetApp and, needing something like it, was excited. When I set it up with my extra 6S+ (iOS 15.2.1), it connects right away but shows a blank screen. The app can switch between the phone's front and back cameras quickly, but again, is simply a black screen on the Mac. So… ultimately this is a disappointing app I’m glad I didn’t have to pay for.

Doesn’t work.

This app is an absolute nightmare to remove from the Mac after “uninstallation”. It completely breaks FaceTime and always chooses to be the default camera (showing their logo) even when uninstalled.

Impossible to remove

This app is an absolute nightmare to remove from the Mac after “uninstallation”. It completely breaks FaceTime and always chooses to be the default camera (showing their logo) even when uninstalled.

Full of bugs

Needs more work to be considered usable.

Paid for Pro and don't have it

I paid the $149.99 for pro and don't have access to it. Still asking me to pay again. No customer service contact info to fix my account.
