1. I'm returning this junk and will tell everyone I know, and DON'T Know!Frustrating! The only way I could get this app to work on a new Pixel 6 pro on Android 13 was to go to device settings -> apps -> permissions and set all permissions for the app there "BECAUSE" without doing it that way the app locks up/freezes on load stuck on permission request screen where you CANNOT for whatever reason set them (it just won't allow it) But there's the work around for anyone experiencing the same issue...4stars for now, everything works fine but yes there is a learning curve to getting items in focus properly.
2. It is not supposed to access the internet; this type of network is a LAN or Ad-Hoc connection so you will not be able to surf the net via Wi-Fi while streaming video from the microscope 🔬.I was able to get this app to work with the HVX W04 microscope.
3. Once connected to the wifi, Android will prompt you by asking if you would still like to be connected to the wifi despite no connection to internet.
4. Make sure you choose to Remain Connected Anyway when you are notified that the network you are connected to cannot access the internet.
5. I love that this camera is wireless, though it is a bit of a pain that you must disconnect from the internet on WiFi to use it.
6. The app shows "connected, no internet" and the home page is non responsive; while the (preview interface) continues to 'buffer' indefinitely.
7. Will work every time!Works fine on Android.
8. only serious drawback I see is that my photos are now stuck in this app, no way to export them to my phone or a common used sharing app... if there is a way to save them to my own storage or they update the app to have that soon, then I will change my rating to 5 stars !!BUYER BEWARE.
9. For $25 - very cool.When loading the app,it will say "connected with no internet, tap for more options".
10. Bottom line ,don't do this, it's not worth it.Works great on Android.
11. Turn the brightness control near the USB connector toward the "+" symbol to adjust illumination, and place the clear plastic spacer on something tiny to view.
