1. 5/5Nearly almost perfect but HELP...!

   Okay so I gave this a 5 start review because it is basically perfect! I’m so happy that added USB support because I can not trust my WiFi connection. However the issue comes in (atleast for me) when I try to record from the client app on PC. I figured with the USB stability I wouldn’t have lagginess of audio and video and it would be all synced up, but boy was I wrong. This really needs to be fixed because at times it would buffer and chop up on a USB CONNECTION! Which doesn’t make much sense to me because it’s connected my USB 3.0 port. I wanted to use this to make video production easier but this is a major problem. I could understand if this happened under a WiFi connection but USB is just unforgivable. However that’s the only glitch/bug that I have had a problem with. If I use OBS just to pick up ivCam as my webcam there is no lag or stutter. The problem only comes from recording within the app! Other than that I love the app and has really helped me step up my video production!

2. 5/5Works for what I need

   A bit annoyed at that it initially is free download that works, then a week later it locks features that were working fine and requires a 5 star rating to unlock them again for use, and then becomes a trial. I wouldn’t be annoyed if this was stated up front that it is a two week trial without the seeming deception of “free” that most websites pointing to it say because they use it for 10 mins unlocked, write their review and then delete it before this junk happens. I also am not in the web development business, so I don’t know the struggles of this field. Sometimes underhanded and deceitful tactics are used because there is no other option for success and that makes me sad. Anyway, I’ve tried a bunch of other webcam software apps and this one just works with minimal effort compared to others that seemingly required programming skills to set up that I couldn’t figure out and don’t have much patience lately. That annoys me too.

3. 3/5Pay $9.99 to unlock the 5 star rating

   I wish this was stated more clearly before purchasing. The initial $8 was for a trial version of the app. I was shocked to find out that a paid app was not considered the full version. I was hit with the infamous rate 5 stars in order to get my old function of flipping the camera back, which is silly. Shortly after I was notified that my trial had ended and I would need to pay an additional $9 to get the full version. I ended up doing so, because I do enjoy the app. It seems that the watermark and the ads have disappeared so that’s great. The app works well enough for me and I enjoy the user interface. I just wish there was a separate free trial version and a full paid version in one transaction. I feel cheated on after the first transaction, because it was not made clear that the first purchase was for a trial. Other than that, the full version seems to be working well. USB connection works as long as you have itunes downloaded. I also recommend having Ivcam open on the iphone first before opening ivcam on pc to avoid some weird black screen issue.

4. 4/5Good replacement for built-in webcam...

   I got this app because I wanted a better webcam than what was integrated in my laptop (I.e., I wanted a 1080p one, not a 720p one), and the Logitech webcam that was recommended by a friend had tripled in price. So I thought about using my iPhone with a webcam app. I looked at reviews, downloaded a few trial version apps from the App Store, and this one had the best video. I started to use it as a 1080p web cam and was initially very disappointed that the video and computer’s mic audio pickup were not synchronized - there was a significant delay in video from the audio. The PC app had an option for GPU acceleration of video decoding that I hoped would help, but in trying it out, it was not working. So I could only get decent synchronization at the lowest video resolution settings. I was about to give up and accept that I wasted $10 when I noticed the help email address on the website. So I sent the log of the app operation and my issues to the developer. The developer responded in a couple of days and we went back and forth a few times. But their suggestions didn’t seem to help. However after a few more days, a new version of the IOS and the Windows apps came out. The GPU acceleration option was now working, and HEVC (H.265) encoding was now included as an option. Using both HEVC and GPU acceleration, I am getting good audio syncing up to 720p at the medium quality setting. Though this is less than I had hoped for, it is so much better than the built in webcam that I am giving the app 4 stars. Also, my experience may be related to my particular laptop because I got much less delay when I tried the app with my desktop. So your results will probably be better than mine. Overall this is a good app and the developer provides good support.

5. 4/5I really liked the app, but!!

   Like the headline says. I really liked the app. Very responsive. Good quality of video. Although, I would recommend good lighting to improve the quality of the white balance and light capture. I was streaming out of the batt I’m 1080pm using OBS with two cameras (phones). Computer app was working flawlessly. I really like it and will continue using it. The down side here and the reason I don’t give 5 stars is related to the payment. I paid the 9.99 full version. Based on the information here. This app is compatible with family sharing. Meaning that I should not have to pay 9.99 for each device as long as they are under my family sharing. I would restore the purchase but, but still get the ads and watermark. I had to pay an extra 9.99 for it to go away on my other iCloud account. So that is already 20$ dollars. The only reason I paid it. Is because it is a fraction of the price of a good webcam or digital camera. Still you get the quality. I would say it is even better. Lots of things can be done with it. The app does what it promises. It is a good one to use and easy. I recommend it.
