I honestly don't have too many uses for this app. Except for one thing, as the name implies u s b camera, you're able to connect an external camera to this And I guess use it for whatever Tools you need it for. But in this case, the use that I have for it currently is mainly to USB Video and audio out and into a t v monitor, for my playstation vita. It works great, and it looks perfect on full screen, obviously, depending on the type of phone and how fast it processes well depend on latency.

Previously app was working fine... but since last 1 year there is a problem - as software is not detecting the same endoscopic unit I was using previously. Only this is visible - "usb cable used between devices should not exceed 1 meter" What to do?? Usb cable itself is hardly 20 cm.

Worked fine with an older USB endoscope camera that was only spec-ed for Windows - which helped me solve an engineering problem. Can't see why 5 stars could be wrong, given the no-hype application and small user base. Found ads not obtrusive.

Works fine except for the close up, where the video feed flickers terribly. Can be the issue with my hardware too, of course. Oh, and if you can, BLOCK this app from the network or the apps will flood your screen.
