  • Missing a few key features for me but useful nonetheless

    The NDI camera app is extremely useful and powerful. I use it in a wide variety of situations, including as a WebCam. The only things missing are the ability to use the volume controls of the phone to zoom in and out. This would make using it as my WebCam thousand times easier as I can just hit the hardware volume keys to control the zoom. Another missing feature is the ability to select frame rates currently it is locked to 30fps with no way to change this.

  • Works well with NDI 5.5

    Seems to connect faster and hold a connection better than previous NDI. If you are having issues with NDI performing inconsistently make sure your devices are only on your 5G network and aren’t switching to the 2g one.

  • Grossly overdue for an update

    There are only 3 options for quality level. The quality is not documented clearly. For example, highest quality on iPhone 11 streams 4K 30fps. I want to have Full HD 60 fps but I cannot find that option.

  • Lock you at 30fps

    It stated on they website that this tool can do 4k at 60 fps, however it lock you at 30 fps regardless of the pixel density you choose. Also there is no way to use a wired connection from you phone to you computer. Real waste of money.

  • Is not working

    Please don’t spend your money in this app is not working, 1 start is too much for this app

  • It works, but it does have latency.

    Simple to install and configure. However, it had about 1 second of latency on a iPhone 8 Plus into vMix with wireless router just a few feet away-no other traffic. App bandwidth settings don’t matter.

  • I like it

    This is a great app, wish you had the option to select the camera lenses on iPhone 13

  • Bugs or snake oil?

    I purchased this app exclusively because it said that it will transmit video in 4k@60fps. Upon downloading NDI 5, it’s only recognizing video stream in 2k@30fps. On top of that, I can’t record video even in 2k@30fps without SIGNIFICANT lag. The only way to stop the lag is to switch to low bandwidth mode. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a high-end gaming laptop, and as well as a gigabit fiber optic internet connection. I know my phone is capable of recording 4k footage @ 60fps and that my laptop and internet is more than capable of handling the bandwidth. PLEASE look into this! If I’m paying for an app, I expect it to work as advertised.

  • I like this app but…

    I love the idea of NDI. Still the best and easiest way to broadcast wirelessly within a network. However I don’t see why the screen needs to remain on during broadcasting, and needless draining the phone or tablets battery. DroidCam which is a similar product allows the screen to be shut off. If I need to review the "scene" I can tap the screen to turn it on. Otherwise I’m at another location viewing the camera from my encoder (VMix) and don’t need the phone discharging faster than necessary.
