I have tried it and it works flawlessly when paired with an iphone 11. You can even use the main iphone camera, not just the front facing one. It is by far my best webcam (compared to my laptops and a stand-alone logitech I own). PS. To make it work you need to install a driver on your PC, so it can be a no-go for many company owned computers.

  I tried it and it did not work for me. (Macbook Pro and iPhone 8)

Looking at the reviews, I see multiple people saying that the developer required paid users to write a review in order to unlock the ability to use the front camera. I think it goes without saying that is an incredibly scummy practice.

  They have two app versions, a free with fewer features and a paid with full features. I personally tried first the free to make sure it works, and then I paid for the full version.

  No need to write -- just click on a star rating. I clicked 3 stars for that reason. But it functionally is phenomenal. Will honestly probably change it and write an actual review...

  Oh, an app doing that to me would certainly get a review.

  rating an app to unlock features is scummy? compared to all the other practices and anti-patterns apps use today?
  - BossingAround 7y ago
    Yes, it's still scummy. Bad practice doesn't make another bad practice good...
  - slipheen 7y ago
    Yes, it's incredibly dishonest and encourages reviews which are likely to lead other people to make the same mistake. Any application which does so is against apples guidelines and ought to be banned

any equivalent for android?

  I've found these apps: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamdroid.livedroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamdroid... - http://www.dev47apps.com/ http://www.dev47apps.com/ - http://ip-webcam.appspot.com/ http://ip-webcam.appspot.com/ Any opinion on which one is best?

    I've had huge success with IP Webcam, especially since it appears to be a standard MJPEG stream, so very hackable (in the good sense). The web interface also crucially adds UI for focusing, in addition to the customizable in-phone UI.

      I've not been able to get it to work smoothly without specifying at least a 1000ms buffer, which kinda ruins the ability to use as a real time communication tool. Gigabit local lan, strong wifi N MIMO signal, Galaxy S10 and a fairly recent Macbook pro (dual booting to Win 10). Have you encountered a similar hurdle?

        It seems to have massive delays if I capture on full resolution (3060x2295 on my phone), but that is a ridiculous number that can't even be transmitted over my internet, so I run it at 1280x720, which has basically ideal latency.

      I was just playing around with IP Webcam. So far it has been a breeze to set up. I do wish it had some additional options on limiting what you broadcast over, ie limit to just https.
