User Reviews

User reviews show instability and compatibility problems, especially on newer iPhones (15 Pro/Pro Max, 17 Pro). Crashes occur during photo/video capture, sometimes preventing recording or saving media. Some users report no issues on older devices after updates, and praise lens-lock for alignment. Media saving problems and poor on-screen color also surface. While a subset notes improvements after management changes and updates, many customers still find the app unreliable during hunting season.

Pros

Locks the phone camera lens to prevent auto-focus and lens switching during use.
Helps align the phone with a spotter and is useful for recording shots when it works.
Recent updates and the new management have improved reliability for some users.
Works on older devices (e.g., iPhone 14 Pro, 16 Pro) after updates.

Cons

Frequent crashes during capture and the app closes or becomes unusable on multiple iPhone models (notably iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro).
Media (photos/videos) are often not saved or lost when leaving the app.
Poor image rendering and color issues when the app is in use (dull colors, poor contrast).
Slow updates and lack of clear communication about fixes; long delays leaving users frustrated.

You guys need to take away the questions to open the app and to select photos. When I’m in the moment on a hunt and I need to start recording, I don’t want to answer a bunch of questions to start recording.
