User Reviews for iVCam Webcam

I 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.

Great app! - some multi cam advice here!

I was tasked with streaming a small outdoor wedding to 200 people who couldn’t come because of the pandemic. Never did anything like it before but determined to make it great, despite no ability to have additional helpers. Installed 3 instances of ivCam. Mounted 2 in strategic positions. Set up one attentive guest with it for a different vantage. (Added a wired in DSLR for a great main view) and fed it all into OBS. Some smooth transitions between all the views and the finished product got rave reviews. One confusing point for me. You have great control over the camera from the ivCam application on the pc - quality, exposure, etc. and an all important setting for hardware decoding. But I could not figure out how to get to each camera instance. Sometimes I got instance #1. Sometimes #2. It was all working in OBS, but couldn’t find the ivCam controls for each of the 3 cams. Turns out that I’d you just keep launching the ivCam application, it will load the additional instances. You don’t specify which instance - just keep launching and eventually you get them all.

Developer, responding to your question

Don’t waste your timeThis was my original review, above.Just about every review here addresses the issues with your app. Which are legit. I understand ads on the free version. It worked flawlessly until your latest update for the computer, which was forced. The program will not work without the updated version on the computer. After the update the camera is forced into a “fixed orientation” and does not allow it to rotate as it previously did. You have a function which allows you to switch camera or switch “side” left to right. Nothing for rotation or orientation. I tried backdating to previous versions but this will not work either. You mention in several replies to make sure the user is using the most current version. Thanks for creating a cool app that sort of works but between the ads and the connectivity issues I don’t understand. The device even requires a WiFi connection even with data and a hardline connection to the computer. I’d rather not use WiFi. Thanks for responding to my review. You should find this detailed review much more helpful.

Perfect but with a possible problem

As a content creator, I want to make videos in the best possible quality I can. Since I was getting annoyed with the quality of my Logitech C920, I wanted to look for something MUCH better. And behold, this app appeared.I cannot stress ho perfect this app is for m. Being able to get a webcam to record at 1080p and 60fps is a absolute blessing. And the fact that it’s using a pretty good camera from an iPhone 6 makes it even better!I’m still going to give it 5 stars because of how much I love the app, but I do have one problem with it. After 15-25 minutes of using the app (mind you, my phone is on a cell phone mount above my monitor in the air and the top of the monitor does not blow out any hot air), I will get a temperature warning message because my phon is overheating. I tested this issue with leaving my phone on for an hour both in standby mode and with the camera app open and I didn’t get that same message. I don’t know if it’s a freak issue but I’m also getting a cooler for my phone for it.Regardless, despite the overheating issue, I love the app. Once I get my setup situated, I’m definitely making a video about this app!

Pretty good, but a little secretive

I have only used it for a couple hours, but it seems to work with OBS. I paid for it, but there are still pop ups. Stopped letting me change camera lenses until I left a review. I have a good internet connection and router so it can stream 1080p 30fps well, but there seems to be a slight lag (expected - no sweat). About the same amount of lag over USB.Update: Trial expired for the PC Client so it only works in SD and with a watermark. The app plus the client is more expensive than Camera for OBS. It’s not a bad app, but they weren’t upfront about this and I needed it mainly for OBS. Generally wouldn’t recommend because of this.Update2: Realized $16 to use my existing phone as a better webcam than a $100 Logitech USB webcam isn’t a bad deal, especially after seeing the competition’s reviews. I would give this 5 stars but they should have been more upfront about the double purchase ($8 app plus full ad-free $8 client).

Works 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.

Best webcam software for Windows users!

After trying out other webcam programs, I found the features and quality on iVCam to be the best. I use an iPhone 11 clamped to my monitor with a Smartrig multifunctional clamp, smartphone mount and ring light and it blows away my Logitech C922 in image quality. I get up to 4K 60 frames video with excellent low light performance. You can use iVCam with multiple devices which EpocCam will charge you extra for and I’ve found the latency to be much better than NDI HX Camera which is a $20 app. It is also the only app I found that allows you to use the mouse wheel or keyboard keys to control zoom in/out. This is a great convenience when you want to size yourself in a screen or crop out edges of a green screen without having to reach around a mounted iPhone to pinch and zoom on a tiny screen that is facing away from you when using the better rear camera lenses. I tried a lot of demos of these apps and finally bought the full version of iVCam and feel it’s maybe the best $10 I’ve spent on an app. If you’re a Windows user with an iPhone that you can spare during web calls then you already have a better webcam than most of the dedicated ones out there that are scarce and/or over-priced during these work-from-home times. This is frankly a no-brainer.

Excellent app, but beware multiple users on same network

This app has been great and works as advertised. Overall, you can’t do better for the money. BUT...However, I really wish there was a way to choose which PC to connect to before it automatically connects. Where I teach, several teachers in my building have discovered how great this app is. However, we are all on the same network and the app wants to connect to the first connection it finds. I often have to close the connection several times before it finds my PC and the other teachers have to do the same. There is direct IP connection, but our IP addresses aren’t static and IP addresses are cumbersome to look up. I did reach out to the dev with these concerns a few months ago but never heard back.

Pay $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.

Nearly 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!
