## Review summary

Camera for OBS Studio on iPhone offers OBS camera integration and multi‑camera setup capabilities, while helping users avoid subscriptions and extra hardware in some cases. However, many reviews highlight a heavy watermark on non‑premium use, steep pricing, and a sense that the app has been abandoned with little or no updates. Ongoing reliability problems—connection failures, OBS compatibility issues after updates, and slow or absent support—are common, making ongoing use inconsistent for many creators.

### Pros

- Allows iPhone to be used as a camera input for OBS, enabling streaming and recording.
- Supports multi-device setups (e.g., two iPhones) for a versatile recording/streaming setup.
- Helps users avoid subscriptions or more expensive hardware (like a DSLR) by providing a standalone solution.
- In some cases, it works with OBS features such as the source record filter.

### Cons

- Watermark on video unless premium is purchased; intrusive and moves around on screen.
- Very overpriced/high price for a software solution.
- Lack of updates; many reviews describe the app as abandoned or not updated for years.
- Reliability issues with iPhone-to-PC/OBS connectivity; temperamental and sometimes fails to connect.
- Poor customer support and unresponsive developers.
