WebCamera for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not working with IOS 6.1.6I have been unable to get this app to work on IOS 6.1.6 even though it states supports IOS 6.0 and newer. Also i have had no response from Shape support despite submitting several sjpport requests..Version: 2.10
✓ This doesn’t work!This doesn’t work. The app can’t download to Mac. Seemingly this tech has either expired or is broken..Version: 2.10
✓ ConRubbish, takes your money then doesn't let you down load the other software you need. It's a con, avoid!!.Version: 2.5
✓ Poor QualityHave I missed something? Based on other people's reviews they have no complaints about this app - however I find the video quality appalling!! The pixelation and blurring of the image (especially when viewed in the WebCamera desktop app is dreadful - pretty un-usable. If there is a way of improving the video quality that I have missed I will happily retract this review but I do wonder how the other reviewers managed to get results worthy of 4/5 stars..Version: 2.2
✓ First one to reviewI'm the first one to try this app and I'll say it is ok. It is good because it does what it says record video that can be streamed to computer. Also you can use both cameras, front and back But there is no audio, none. Plus it is a bit laggy, but what do you expect when it is streaming over wifi. All in all grab This app while it's on sale if you don't mind no audio. (I was going to use it to Skype but no audio).Version: 0
✓ This app is not practical use at allIt can't connect iPhone with Computers by USB or Bluetooth. It connects to your computer by WiFi only. USB webcam is more useful and practical..Version: 2.3
✓ Terrible picture qualityDon't waste your money, go and buy a portable webcam instead. Picture quality is very poor and it is not compatible with many programs so renders useless to me. I asked for my money back and I have heard nothing from the developers..Version: 2.8.1
✓ This is crapDont waste your money, it doesnt connect at all. It used to, not anymore..Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn’t workNothing but problems, forces you to buy another program on pc then installs bloat wear onto it too, DONT BUY! Save your money this should be taken off the store.Version: 2.10
✓ Mac App CrashingHey the app is crashing each time I go to video. :(.Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn't workWorked really well until I updated my laptop to Windows 10. Although it will connect and will show clear picture on the desktop app, as soon as try and use it with another program (internet explorer for example) just comes up with rainbow screen.Version: 2.8.1
✓ SadDoes not work with Photo Booth, Quicktime or FaceTime on a Mac. Sierra 10.12.4.Version: 2.10
✓ GreatJust down loaded it and tried at home, yet to try on skype but as easy as they say so far. Well done, will add another star as I progress.Version: 0
✓ Total piece of crap!!!Waste of money! Useless crap.. Only works on wireless, doesnt have usb support! Poor app! Total waste of money!!!!.Version: 2.6
✓ LagIdea is great. But there is too much lag on the camera to actually use it as webcam. The frame rate is so low. I am using wireless n on my iPhone 4 and wired connection on my iMac.Version: 2.2
✓ AwfulThe picture quality is disastrous. It crashed several times within the first minute. The uninstall app. is broken. I therefore had to purge it manually from my mac file by file. I don’t know how Apple allows apps like this on iTunes. If you’re thinking of buying this app., I recommend you think again! Awful..Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn't even workI got it to work the first time I used it but my auto lock went on when I was try to get my computer to recognize it as the webcam anywhere other then the pc resource that comes with. Anyways after that first time connecting any time I try to connect to the pic the app crashes on the pc side every single time the second I hit connect.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Needs audio support (for Windows)Works as advertised. 720p recording is too choppy to be useful (on a dual core). NEEDS AUDIO SUPPORT to be worth using..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Peace of crap!!We need to pay with the computer its just crap! its not like we communicate with msn directly!.Version: 0
✓ Total ripoffTotal ripoff. Company is defunct. No server software available..Version: 2.10
✓ Don’t botherDoesn’t even work period. I had to download the Mac app multiple times and i could not get it to work. Stated that it was the wrong version yet I downloaded from their site. No support for help for a paid app. Not sure how you sell an app that doesn’t work but someone should investigate..Version: 2.11
✓ Needs update for MacGreat app when I used it on windows 7, not all features working on iMac Sierra.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Outdated, disinterested supportThe PC software doesn't work with Windows 8.x and their support guys have no interest in helping to get it working. Windows 8 is almost 2 years old now... get with it!.Version: 2.6
✓ Unable to feed into other appsThe connection between the iPhone and my laptop worked fine. The video stream was also good. However I wanted the use this as a webcam input for use on another app(OBS Studio) on my laptop. But this simply only give me coloured strips, and therefore completely useless for my needs..Version: 2.10
✓ Save your money for Facetime or a web camera.Recording your video directly to a laptop might be useful but until this app gets an upgrade it seems inadequate as a replacement for an external USB camera. It's just easier to carry your laptop around than to deal with herky-jerky third party interfaces. The potential is there though! Why not make this a more robust application? I'd gladly pay 5 bucks for all the buzzers and bells including USB interface and realtime processing of video (like the built in mac). My camera (built in USB bus on the laptop) isn't working for some reason..Version: 2.2
✓ WebCam- cameraThis app honestly is terrible Out of 10 it's a 4 easy and fast to install but that's it once you do that you left with a horrible app with thee worse camera it's so pixelated and lame :/ sorry owner of this app.Version: 2.2
✓ Scam - no app for Mac desktopThere is no download for the desktop software it is meant to link to. I would like a full refund..Version: 2.10
✓ GarbageThis program is brutal. Definitely not worth the money. It crashes and the options are ridiculous. OBS programs max it out at 320p lol. Epoc cams a ivcams would be the way to go instead of this junk..Version: 2.10
✓ Works OK most of the timeI bought this app for traveling, so I can skype home using my iPhone as a webcam and not have to bring along an extra web cam. It works great! it is a beautifully simple piece of software to use. The only disadvantage is that using Wifi is dependent on the host connection, and often times the webcam and computer are competing for bandwidth. I wish the webcam was tetherable via the Apple/USB dock connector. That way I could plug in my iPhone, use it as a webcam, and use Skype on a wired ocnnection which would ensure a higher quality call. Perhaps this can be fixed in an update?.Version: 1.0.8
✓ RubbishA total pain to connect to my laptop, once it finally is connected it disconnects within minutes! AVOID! Refund claimed.Version: 2.10
✓ TemperamentalIt's great when it works but it's a lottery whether it is going to work or not on any given occasion..Version: 2.2
✓ Complete piece of crapDownloaded this on phone and pc last week. Worked ok for first day. Have just tried to run it again and, although I have it open on both phone and pc and both are on same wifi, they will not connect. Pc does not recognise the phone and the phone comes up with message telling me the app is not running on the pc. Tried the manual connection they suggest in FAQ, no good either. So I have just tried to put in an online support request only to find their support request form page will not let you type into the boxes. It's unsupported crap, avoid it like the plague..Version: 2.8.1
✓ ArnaqueLa qualité de l'image est MÉDIOCRE et saccadée. J'aimerais être remboursé pour ce produit qui ne donne aucune satisfaction aux clients. Assurez vous de bien lire les avis avant d'en faire l'achat..Version: 2.6
✓ ScamAs soon as I find a way to request a refund for compete negligence and misrepresentation I am done. It doesn’t work and there is no support anywhere to be found. The developer page is lost and the App Store says it’s not eligible for a refund. Don’t do it don’t do it.Version: 2.11
✓ Good in a pinchRan this on my 3GS when I needed an extra webcam at my place of work. Video quality was okay and the mic on iPhone worked well. Not sure if it was the app or the connection...but the audio would occasionally cut in and out. Basically, it's a good webcam for the $3. ***Just a heads up...the iPhone and your computer need to be running on the same wifi connection..Version: 2.3
✓ YuckBought despite the negative reviews and I am not impressed. After restarting my computer to try and establish the same wifi connection (totally annoying) I found the program to be extremely slow in streaming videos. Definitely not good for webcamming with friends..Version: 2.2
✓ Good but...Nice but mac app crashes when switching to video mode.Version: 2.2
✓ When it worked, it was great...It completely stopped working now. the connection would fail out on my phone, then the desktop application would lock up and force a close. no amount of restarting either app or device made any difference. I've uninstalled this waste of money from my pc and iphone/ipad now. I'm done fighting with it, I may as well buy a regular webcam, or find a better app..Version: 2.2
✓ Save your dollar for something elseIf you are wanting to use this from a remote location to broadcast a webcam to your home computer for family it doesn't work. You have to be on the same wifi connection as your home computer to be able to do anything with this. When manually entering your home IP address and port from a different network it does not connect..Version: 2.3
✓ CamTwist? NopeI bought this app as my webcam is broken and I needed a quick fix. The blurb clearly states it works with both Skype and CamTwist, but it does not. Lies, lies, lies. Save your £5. How do I get a refund?.Version: 2.10
✓ Doesn't auto reconnectI was hoping to use an old iPhone as an unattended webcam, and this app looked like it might be perfect for the job. It works as advertised, but if the connection between the phone and the server drops (happens with some regularity) the phone makes no attempt to automatically reconnect. You have to tap on the server name to get it to reconnect, making it unacceptable for unattended use..Version: 2.2
✓ Non functionalFor this app to function, it requires a separate app be installed on a Mac, so they can sync and be used in tandem. I tried accessing the website specified to download the companion app. The website is not up or functioning. I immediately sent an email to the apps tech support asking for assistance. This was a month ago and I still have not heard anything. Do not buy! It is a scam!.Version: 2.10
✓ TerribleThis was shocking for those who need a webcam go and buy and actual one as this is an utter rip off with crap camera quality, connection and a hassle to get working.Version: 2.6
✓ Don't waste your money!Couldn't get it to work at all!! I bought the app and downloaded the desktop app on my laptop but my phone can't seem to be able to tell that I have it downloaded on my computer therefore- it doesn't work at all. Don't make the mistake of wasting your money on this like I did. I suggest iWebcamera, I didn't want it at first because of the price, but it works with no trouble at all:).Version: 0
✓ Mediocre for the priceHuge chasm between medium-high resolution. Removes auto focus and facial function of camera. Only WiFi support, no USB. No custom resolutions..Version: 2.5
✓ Good and badWhile it seems to work perfectly on my iPad mini, it installed ok on my iPhone 3GS (which is what I really wanted to use it with), but crashes instantly on connection. Initially it asked for an exception to be added to my antivirus/firewall, but after I did that it just crashed constantly on trying to connect. Additionally, the Windows application to view it on is just a small and non-resizable window of only approx 5"x3" - and THAT is on a 23" monitor. It must be miniscule on a smaller screen. Very disappointed.Version: 2.8.1
✓ App not working with Skype and poor supportPurchased this app over a month ago, works great with its own software on the computer but not within a web browser or Skype. I emailed the company for support but had nothing back. I regret purchasing it as it doesn't do what it says it can..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Want money backTerrible pic quality, worse than the free EpocCam app, plus for the $ I assumed the aspect ratio wouldn't be 4x3.Version: 2.8.1
✓ Not working in other Applications.I use Mac OS X Lion (10.7), and I just tried this out with my iPod Touch 4G. Downloaded the Mobiola app for the Mac, and it shows up fine on that application. But when I go to Skype or any other webcam app, it displays "No camera detected". Is it possible to fix this?.Version: 2.2
✓ May as well throw away your moneyFirst app I ever brought that doesn't work. It crashes immediately. Don't waste your money on this app - its broken. Zero stars..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Better than my web camNot had any problems, tested it live side by side same time using built cam on my laptop , and was surprised it performed better in low light ,image was crisper ,tried it in front & rear cam and it still performed ok. Tried it USB charger lead and it worked also The fact your iPhone can be moved around it doesn't have limitations of what you can stream, but has to be linked to your wifi . We all know iphone has a quality cam so not sure why other user say poor quality must be their wifi or computer mem . It has similar features such as capture cam or record mode. only negative it won't auto connect you have to enter the IP address of your wifi manually each time.Version: 2.6
✓ Windows client not working for meThe firewall is open, and sometimes the phone connects. But most of the time the Windows client just crashes. Very disappointed. Waste of my £2.99..Version: 2.6
✓ WorthlessDon’t download guys doesn’t support no more waist of time even asked you to download there program and pay for that not included iv asked for a refund discussing crap don’t buy.Version: 2.10
✓ Crap App!Bought it, used it once then there was an update. Hasn't worked since and no response from their support! Avoid! Buy something else..Version: 2.8.1
✓ CrapSlow and poor quality. Even when I create a network on my Mac and connect my iPhone directly to it, the video quality is extremely poor. I can get better quality over a FaceTime call, and this isn't even traveling over the Internet. 1080p and even 720p is useless as the frame rate drops to about 3fps (and that's a pretty generous number). But worse still there is no USB functionality to make up for what's lacking in wifi. On top of that the desktop app is very buggy and has crashed several times in the first few minutes of using it. Don't waste the money. They only reason this deserves 2 stars is because the low resolutions, while being extremely poor quality, still have decent frame rates and it (barely) does what it's advertised. I really wish I could get my money back..Version: 2.6
✓ No downloadWindow says "downloaded" but cannot find it anywhere..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Not recommendedWon't recommend it, website states ability to use USB but then goes on to say no USB capability which is why I got it, I I could I'd remove and get my money back! Not recommended.Version: 2.5
✓ Needs work, don't buy yet.MacBook Pro with an iPhone 4: Video is choppy, only useable at lowest resolution (192 x 144) which is worse than my laptop's webcam. Does not record audio. When recording video at 1280x720(iPhone back camera) the file is saved as just 320x 240? All video files are saved at that. Good for taking pics, that's it..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Doesn't work with the ipadLooked promising. I wanted to use the webcam on my iPhone 4 with my iPad but it's not letting me download the software on my iPad. Most laptops have built in cameras these days so I'm just disappointed that the one item I own that doesn't work work!.Version: 0
✓ Good AppGreat app, used it with skype on my iMac, to show friends things outside the house, but have found that sometimes it won't connect, so have to close it and open it again. Hope updates resolve this and hope they add sound. Worth the money though..Version: 0
✓ Rubbish. Money down the drain.Rubbish app. Video quality is horrible, even at the highest settings. Audio non existent. No I did not sign up for the forum to ask why it is so rubbish. All I want is my money back and to know how to uninstall the Mac app that had to be installed..Version: 2.2
✓ Usable but limited by wireless.I tend to use the webcam at max 640x480 for optimal framerates. The problem is that data from the camera seems only able to transmit via wireless, so quality of video and audio transmitted is largely limited in this respect. I tend to avoid using the mic while using video for this reason, instead using a USB mic..Version: 2.2
✓ GoodIt's a pretty good app. It does its job sure it lags a bit but I really didn't expect and more from an iPhone app of this type. I would not suggest this app if you want a full time webcam. I got this app because I like being able to switch my laptops webcam to this for more flexibility in where I can move. If give it 3.4 stars but I can't haha.Version: 2.6
✓ ObseleteThe MAC/PC file required to download this and use is no longer available. The developer’s page is no longer up and running. Paid almost AUD$10 for this app to find this out in the app..Version: 2.10
✓ WasteLike others, had problems with this on mac with constant crashing when trying to record. AppStore unhelpful saying I need to contact supplier for money back. Supplier has said they have nothing to do with refunding money. Don't waste yours..Version: 2.2
✓ AwfulComputer app keeps crashing on authorizing. Can't use. Waste of money. DO NOT BUY..Version: 2.6
✓ Can not communicateI have iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro. All installed ok and still can not communicate at all......Version: 2.0.1
✓ Ripped off.NEVER connects to the computer, always fails, bad interface, full of advertisements. I WANT A REFUND. WARNING: Do not purchase this application, it is a total and utter FARSE..Version: 2.6
✓ Only works with wifiI use USB to connect my phone to my computer, this app only works with wifi, not sure why. So, my fault for not reading enough but still disappointed that I can't use my iPhone as a web camera. Better to spend the money on a bad cup of coffee and keep using Yahoo Messenger video calls for free..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Very bad streaming and lost connection all timeIf I could ask for a refund it would definitely be for this app. It loses connection with the desktop app every time the iPhone is locked + the image quality is so bad. Don't waste your money on this :(.Version: 2.3
✓ Low qualityNot worth buying. similar but free software works better.Version: 2.11
✓ Out of dateThis apps Support page shows iChat. iChat is not supported in most recent Mac OS. Get with it. It is FaceTime now. FaceTime will see mobiola 's mic which is better than nothing I suppose. Same with skype it "see's" the mic but not the phone. Obviously the developer hasn't put the work in to support changes made in mountain lion. You can record video to qt movie but only at medium or low not hi. If you try recording hi Rez the computers app crashes. Not good enough especially for the price! It should be $1 not $5. I give it one star for work done and another star for its potential. This could be a great app if it worked fully at all resolutions. Improve it and take it to its full potential please!!!.Version: 2.6
✓ Buggy and crashes oftenThis could have been a great app, problem is, when used with thier Mac desktop viewer/recorder, it crashes often, very often in fact. The low quality video modes work better but look so bad they are useless, the HD mode is jerky and the sound stutters so much that it is useless. Can't blame it on my Mac or my iPhone, they are top of the line. (iPhone 6plus and Mac Pro). Save your money, go download any of the baby free cam apps instead..Version: 2.8.1
✓ CRAPIt WON'T EVEN DOWNLOAD TO YOUR PC.Version: 1.0.9
✓ AverageFrame rate is slow but usable except in high quality mode. Really wish I could use this app with a USB to stream the video because it would be easier for me. Also wish I could turn the screen of my phone off when I use it. There is no point wasting the battery and heating up the phone when I am just using the camera..Version: 2.3
✓ Does not workI just wasted 7 bucks. It tells you to go to mobiola.com for the driver, but it doesn’t exist. I finally found their website, but can’t find the driver at all. Save your money and avoid this app..Version: 2.10
✓ ShockingDo not buy!!! Complete waste of money. Bought to record video directly onto my computer but the quality is exceptionally bad. Supposedly 1080p but very pixelated and slow. Cannot keep with mildly fast movements..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Keeps crashing with SkypeCrashes often. Loses connection often. There doesn't appear to be any support. Waste of time..Version: 2.2
