It took so long to get here that i cant remember if the ad specifically said you could use it for zoom, facebook, facetime etc but it 100% gave that impression. You can only use it with their app. It has bluetooth but will only connect to your phone when using their app. In the bluetooth setting you can see a similar name device but you cant connect to it. If you switch to a different screen or close the app the bluetooth disconnects. So you you very specificly want a device that will track you while you record a video or take a photo. This does that. Mine is very quite i didnt hear the noise others mentioned. The video and photos look bad in the app. Idk why it would look worse in the app than my regular camera/video app. Im giving it two stars because it does track but im sure the majority of people like me are gonna trash it or dispute the credit card charges as i doubt anyone bought this to be stuck using this crap app. Everyone is expecting to use it while live video chatting. Seems like this should be simple to do. Also theres a lot of Chinese and terms of services. Probably huge privacy violator and collecting info to sell to third parties

Seriously. What a waste of $40! After MONTHS of going back & forth with the company, having to send screenshots of how my iPhone 11 max would NOT connect... they finally told me to reinstall the app (since they updated SOME of the glitches, I’m sure)... I’ve finally got the piece of junk plastic to work- sorta. This is ok for a small child to play around with. Period. It won’t stay on track of where I’m at. If I move or walk “too fast”, the next thing I see is my phone turning the OPPOSITE way of where I’m wanting it to go! Very jerky in motions too. Don’t even get me started on the actual App. Omg. Lol. First off it doesn’t have the MAIN #1 feature I even ordered this for! SLO-MO! This will NOT record slo-mo videos!!! Strictly photos (not even portrait mode either) or plain videos, which the quality is downright HORRIBLE! Next, they’re trying to be cool & trendy I guess? They have about a dozen super cheesy “SnapChat” weird face filters. Not even cute ones either. I couldn’t even tell you what half of them were supposed to be? WEIRD. Anyway, I rarely write reviews but this was so bad I had to. At least try to help one person or more save their $40! There are so many BETTER gimble devices out there now! Put your $49 bucks towards a REAL one!

It has improved! The current version of this app allows you to broadcast a recording into other apps. That is a great help! BUT, when you use the back camera of your iPhone (the one with better resolution) this app turns the rotating device in the wrong direction. For example, if you move to your right, the app rotates the phone to the left. When the phone is using the face camera, the app works correctly. This problem seems to happens regardless of what app is using the broadcast signal.
