Get the resolution settings right and it works great. Using some cheap Chinese no name USB camera with adjustable led lights for viewing wall cavities etc & an Acer a501. Very happy with responsiveness, clarity etc.

Crashes if you have the wrong resolution but get the resolution right and it works perfectly (you may need to remove the camera to change the resolution). Works fine with cheep USB camera and with a PC3315 Digital Microscope on the Acer A501 Tablet. [Would be better if it would save images and if the menus were not only in German (though you don't need to understand German to figure out how to use it).] Now captures images from USB camera and has English menus as well as the German. Developer is very responsive to suggestions. Top App, highly recommended to anyone who has a use for an external camera on their Android device.

Refund was lie

Really want this to work. Tried a camera-no good. Then remembered I had another camera so thought I'd try that. 15 min time limit meant I had to uninstall. Didn't realise NO refund on second try. Playstore is equally to blame as no prior warning is given. Refund given as promised, so revised to 4 stars for service and integrity. Really hope this gets developef so it works on my ph.

Wow, bought this thinking it probably would not work but it is great. I have hooked my cheap Chinese digital USB microscope and am now using the tablet as my screen. Fantastic.

App instantly reboots device on launch, needs a lot more work.

Any chance of Nexus 7 (2013) support any time soon?
