My first experience with the app was awesome – easy to set up, worked flawlessly. I used it a lot with NDI Plugin in OBS. Then it stopped working. It shows up as a source, but just transmits black video (audio works) – not acceptable for an app costing 20$. Other NDI Sources including the […]

I’m loving the potential, but still needs some work. Yeah it’s $20 but you can use it across multiple devices if they are logged into the same account and honestly you’re not gonna find a functional camera for cheaper. It works well on my pixel 4a at 720 and 1080 but not 4k. I tried […]

Great potential but I really wish NewTek would have tested this better before release. Feed transmits to Vmix fine, but camera monitor is just black on the phone (Samsung Galaxy S7). Price would be fair for a working app, but others seem to be having plenty of issues as well, so I’d suggest waiting little […]

Installed, set up and connects quickly to the studio. However, there doesn’t seem to be an option for 60fps (is this intended?) and I am having problems with the sound. This is being used as a proof of concept for a wider nationwide ndi installation, so not the best start.

Like many others have reported – completely black screen on the phone. It does appear to be streaming the video signal, but without the preview on the phone it’s very difficult to frame a remote shot – makes the app mostly worthless for it’s intended purpose. Running Android 12 on a Pixel 5.

Used to work great on my old phone. Sense of grading to the Pixel 6 , the images isn’t displayed on the phone so it’s tough to align shots. However, the camera is still utilized and transmits properly, just a bit of a hiccup and setting up shots. Hopefully this will be addressed because otherwise […]

UPDATE: The Jan. 14 update seems to have the app working agsin. I never got a response to my feedback but the app is great when it’s working. Thanks for fixing it. Worked great for the first few days but has stopped working on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ since a Jan. 4 update. It crashes […]

Already used this on an iPhone, a brilliant way to get a roving camera’s video + audio into a computer wirelessly! All resolutions working fine on my Pixel 4a, and multi-device installation _does_ work, it just takes ~10mins for the Play Store to update on the other devices (same Google account). Latency is ~200ms, similar […]

Purchased app to show my support, as I believe you guys will work hard to fix the bugs being reported. – App is pretty much lagless on my 5gh wifi. Image quality is good, but I guess it depends on each device’s camera. – Please make it work across all devices. Not working correctly on […]

When it worked, this app is a dynamite idea. Works great out of the box, easy to hook into any NDI setup Currently on my box I’m experiencing what is clearly a pretty global issue for others, app is showing fully black video on the phone (however, the data does show up on the receiving […]

I have previously been able to use this app no problem on my Galaxy S22, but it has stopped working (literally) overnight thanks I think to an OS upgrade. It simply will not send data over the network (which has other NDI devices connected so I know it is not a network issue). Until the […]

i got two phone. The “black shark 5” works just fine but my another phone “Infinix X6871” has problem. The video from this phone is in wrong colour. Need to fix this one.

Works great on my Nokia and Motorola, but on my Pixel 8a it won’t keep the screen on. The longest I can set the screen timeout is 30 minutes.

Well, rather begrudgingly it works OK on my Galaxy S7…. …but the ‘no-trial’ is a really bad customer service. Why would I want to pay so much for an app without any opportunity to see if it meets my needs or even works? I took a gamble and it does at least work. The big […]

The app is very easy to use, but the usability suffers vastly. The ndi streaming part of it worked fine mostly, but there is no control over the camera. The frame rate is locked at 30fps, so in PAL regions it is unusable for any meaningful work unfortunately. It is not possible to set focus […]

Updated to 1.70 (NDI website states there’s a v2.8!?) – there was a little UI overhaul, but this software is still pretty neglected for it’s price: – Preview is still in the wrong aspect ratio on my Pixel 6 Pro, regardless of resolution – No 60fps option selectable in any resolution (Why?) – Zoom function […]

I’ve been using this app for about 2 years now and it has been mostly disappointing. When it works it is great! When it does not, there is little to no trouble shooting steps to get my phone to be recognized by the NDI app on my computer. I just have to close the program […]

The NDI part works perfectly, but the camera controls are very basic – just changing lens, exposure and turning flash on. Unfortunately there is no option to sync 50hz fluorescent light wiping/flicker, as there are on all my other third party camera apps. If your camera doesn’t do this sync automatically, you’re out of luck. […]

Ooof, you guys are killing me with this. As a concept, NDI is great. Love being able to beam video around my studio without wires. 10/10 prototype. But if I’m going to shell out $20, I want better than an app that locks itself to only one orientation of landscape; better than an app that […]

This app is pretty terrible on the Samsung S21 5G. It opens and all you get is a black screen. and that is all it transmits, a black screen. Completely useless. It is not a permissions issue I checked. I also made sure that there were no network issues and other NDI sources were working […]
