Free version worked fine on my Android 9 phone so I bought Pro. It doesn't work. First had major flicker, so tried mjpeg correction, but it froze on blurry mid-movement frames. Tried other settings, now all I get is strips of colour or just the top 5%. Weirdly, it works fine on my older 5.1.1 tablet, which never had the free version. I uninstalled Pro & put the free version back on my phone, but it won't work anymore. I've restarted but I'm not going to hard reboot. Also, settings need help doc.

I honestly thought that my new USB endoscope was a waste of time and money until I got this App.... it would NOT work with any Android device that I connected it to. And I tried every bit of software that I could find. It worked fine on my PCs and my iMac. Then I found this one... WOW !! All I had to do was plug it in and it came up with perfect images, first time, every time. Stills, videos and even motion detection all works perfectly. I then found all the settings so if I need to adjust anything, it is all there. Thanks Guys, You have made a real MAGIC bit of software. Marv.

Very hard to use without the premium upgrade — ads overlay significant portion of the screen, I can't see top bar of the screen that is connected.

This app is amazing! I downloaded it to use it with my Endoscope camera but I am now using it with my Webcam and mirrorless camera. I wish the advs were less intrusive (they are covering 1/4 of the screen). For the 5th star, I d love to see the option to take pics, and not just videos, after a motion detection. Thanks!

Once you record some video, how do you get it out of the program so can edit it? found the folder for the program but it doesn't have all the videos in it.

It worked perfectly fine the first time but after that it wouldn't pick up any audio once my screen was turned off.

We all are used to low quality Chinese apps that almost never work and with no options or settings. This one is the opposite! It works flawlessly with my Chinese boroscope and microscope, have dozens of technical options and details, and it's honestly better developed than most known brands apps. I'm impressed!

This app is much better then others I've come across and is better then any other apps that have been put out their. It shows as simply as record from my capture card to my phone then a few editing then uploading to you tube or wherever and if you want to buy the pro version then go for it. So this is the Best to choose from when looking for a app to record your gameplay or streaming experience 9/10 🤟👍🤜🤣

The app just keeps flashing different pages on screen, not give one second to read pop up that is already up on the screen, by the time you read two words on the screen it flashed to another screen! App is very messed up!

Works like a charm! Came to get this app from Inskam and this one works 100% better. Only issue I have is possibly a faulty connection with my camera as sometimes it would disconnect while the camera was still connected and powered on. Would only last for a few seconds before going back to normal.

Reliable. On a lower spec phone, just drop the framerate and resolution until you get a stable feed, simples. Covers top of the screen with advert and has no fullscreen view either, so menu is in the way too.

Looked promising. It detects my camera but when I choose it I keep getting a toast message with "The extemal USB Audio card needs to be used with a USB Video device, you can use USB-HUB to connect more than one devices on single port." I've disabled every possible audio setting on the app and USB audio routing on developer settings, but it's the same. I've tried with two different webcams through a ID550 USB hub.

Finally a USB camera app that doesn't freeze within 10 seconds. I don't know how old this app is. Last time I tried and uninstalled 4 or more apps. That was months ago. I tried again and found this one. And its a keeper. No weird changes to your phone. Just an app that actually does what I downloaded it for. And for that I take the effort to give you a positive review. Thank you. If it continues to work well I will buy pro.

Borderline malware. It used to work fine a few weeks ago. When I plugged my borescope in, it auto-launched the app like normal, but it froze and rebooted my phone. When I tried once more, it corrupted my phone and I had to factory reset it. I can't believe this is allowed on a listed app on the Play Store. Truly unacceptable and avoid this app at all costs.

Works well after so many other apps didn't work at all on the boroscope using my oneplus 7T. You just don't get to adjust the important settings without purchase even though there is a continuous ad ticker right in the way at top of the screen. They could have put the ad ticker under or over the view of the camera with the view ratio only needing a portion of the screen which is why it lost a star in my rating.

Tried to use with an endoscope/ borescope. It has a variety of settings and features, but UI not so good. Worst of all -ads cover a portion of the screen, which becomes significant in landscape mode. That made me uninstall and instead use an alternate app called "Endoscope Camera". Much simpler, and automatically comes up showing the image as soon as I plug in the camera. After all, that's really all that I need it to do. No prompts, settings, questions... it just runs and records if needed.

Edited review: Originally had a broken cardboard VR mode. Contacted the developer and they fixed the cardboard view issues I was having. The eject hardware function still seems to freeze the application, but having a functional VR mode now is huge. 4 stars since the response to my complaint was very quick and they fixed the problem, but the application can still be buggy in certain parts of the UI. Other than that, excellent application.
