5/5Camera monitor and recorder!
I wasn’t expecting much from a free app, but this one surprised me. I’m using my iPad with a capture card as a camera monitor for my Fujifilm X-S20 and while it may have a few quirks it does what I needed to do. I’m able to record my camera screen easily for tutorials and also monitor focus when shooting talking videos. Wish list: record in 4K Cons: sometimes I have to restart the app to get it to work. Especially to hear with audio playback.

It be way better if it gave you the option to use back and front camera

5/510/ 5 stars
The UI is clean and easy to use works perfectly I would love to be able to record in 4k (ofc I don’t expect that feature to be free but will happily pay) tho but other than that 10s all around!

5/5Does what it claims
I use this to view through my “pluggable” brand microscope. Works very well at this admittedly simple task. My only reservation is that it’s free, and the old adage says “when the program is free, you are the product”. OTOH, if I can make some Chinese spy agency waste its time trying to identify what insect is attacking a leaf, or whether my 2 cent carmine postage stamp is genuine, I guess I’m doing my part to protect our country.

5/5Works as expected
You wouldn’t think it’d be difficult to find an app that allows the iPad to be a monitor AND record video AND actually work, but this app does it! There are a few apps that come close, but they usually lack in something, or don’t work as expected. This app definitely works as expected and looks good too.
