Disappointing
Tomatoeshrimp
Settings options extremely limited for my off-brand webcam. Unable to access White Balance Temperature and the "Advanced" tab is completely empty.I reckon the options advertised only work for certain brands, which is incredibly disappointing.
Works well with Creative Live! Cam

I could not find the list of supported brands and I'm glad to find out that it works well with the Creative Live! Cam, exposure can be manually set and I can create profiles.
Great Software
Mark Singapore Pilot
Using for My Aoni HD Webcam. With the software the inexpensive camera works much better than my Logitech. The Aoni was too sharp of resoution out of the box. Not so great when you are 52 years old. Perfect skin 21 year old no problem without any software.
Extremely disappointing

The icon is charming, looks expensive - so I paid over 10 SGD for this really useless app. There is almost nothing is this app, it's doesn't even allow zoom, tilt or pan. I hope I can demand a refund for this app from Apple. Hate it.
