Testing in advance of an astro trip. Great app, streams beautifully *but* the android keyboard won't show on my phone for Gain and the number fields below. Pops up for Frame Rate ok. Auto settings are great as well. Update: if Auto check boxes unchecked works ok!

Probably the only app for any phone that lets you connect a full size astrophotography camera and use it like you would on a laptop. The portability is incredible here! All you really need is an outer USB-C to an inner USB-A, and you can connect cameras from ZWO, etc. Also, there's a wide range of display and capture settings normally found on desktop applications. Amazing job, please let me know how I can support more: this is a game changer for portable astrophotography!

Love this app! Just joined the sgl forum where Arty posted a link to this app and left some feedback. Just some minor bugaboos but overall a very fun software for live stacking, so you can use your phone pretty much like an easy setup with just a camera or using your own phone camera. Very cool!

Does this app really work? I've tried it with internal camera of the phone, but I got only a black screen. Ui looks like it was created in 1994. No idea how this app works. Not intuitive, no manual available, no "how to". I know astrophotography is not easy but this app shows only fields where I should enter values. What should I enter. No explanations. Horrible. Sorry, 0 points.
