Review summary

Users report the USB-VIEW app frequently fails to display video and connect to the endoscope over Wi‑Fi, showing a persistent black screen and 'set fail' errors. While it reportedly worked well in the past, updates seem to have broken functionality, and the app appears abandoned. A minority can make it work by following device‑specific Wi‑Fi steps, but overall iPhone users face reliability and setup problems.

Pros

Historically worked well on iPhone for some users (prior to crashes/updates).
Documented steps to connect to the endoscope's Wi‑Fi and view the video feed when it works.
When functional, the app allows viewing the feed and adjusting resolution in the interface.

Cons

Black screen with no video feed and inability to connect to the device.
Repeated 'set fail' errors when changing resolution; only resolution option appears but fails.
No recent updates (last update ~11 months ago) suggesting lack of ongoing support.
Not reliably compatible with iPhone models (e.g., iPhone X) and other devices; widespread reliability issues.
Unclear setup instructions and mismatched references (manual mentions DR-View) leading to confusing setup.

2023-08-22	Da*****	Bought this a couple years ago and it worked great on my iPhone. Turned it on and opened the app to see a black screen with me I at the bottom that won’t connect to the device. Only option that comes up is resolution and once you select one, it gives you an error. The bugs have taken over and the last update was 11 months ago. Think the app developers have cut their losses and run

2022-12-03	Pr*****	The user manual for my inskam “Wi-Fi visual ear endoscope” has a QR code that leads to this app. (The manual says the app is called “DR-View,” however there is no app called “DR-View” in the App Store, so I assume it’s a typo.) However, even after managing to connect my iPhone to the endoscope Wi-Fi signal, the app does not work. It shows no picture feed and I keep getting the message “set fail” when I try to adjust the resolution (which is the only button that seems to make anything happen in the app). Without any app to view the endoscope, it looks like my device is completely useless.

2019-08-17	da*****	In order to use on the iPhone turn on the device, add app, go to the settings app on your iPhone (not in the Dr-view the app), connect to the same WiFi that’s in the user manual then go back to the app after it’s connected and it should be working then use the settings button on app and change resolution. Instructions aren’t very clear at all but I got there after a little trying.
