Top Pcmac Reviews

Do they HATE us?

By Ridiculous Rob (Pcmac user)

Aside from issuing new versions to hide all poor reviews from past versions, the company seems to have gotten scores of people to write bogus positive reviews saying how well the app works. Well, it does not. The one thing that may have worked is their underhanded technique of skewing that average rating upward by dishonest means. Yikes! Does Senstic hate us, or just have no respect for us? Do yourself a favor and read a few reviews written by some of the two hundred-plus unhappy folks who took the time to warn the rest of us. If you want to be greeted with a message that instructs you to purchase the five dollar full app before it lets you use its dumbed-down sister, or if you want to spend long periods re-configuring, de-configuring and generally jiggering about your computer to make it do the bidding of this innocent-seeming app, go ahead and download this malign little wolf in sheep's clothing. What I cannot figure out is why the company does not just work a little harder at producing a functional, easy-to-use app, rather than spend so much time on damage control. I don't plan to spend $4.99 just to buy the right to warn folks about the paid version of this lame product, but I have given this review five stars so Senstic's monitoring bots do not try to combat or purge my message. Save yourself before it is too late! Don't be a victim of the app's hate!
Unacceptable

By Gustamatt (Pcmac user)

I downloaded this app to try and avoid buying and waiting for an actual webcam. But when I followed the instructions on how to download and install to use on my pc, it required me to download more applications that are both useless and irrelevant, like bonjour printing wizard. After much irritation, finding out that there is no audio, or color, or even connection to anything I would use a camera for I tried to seek help and use the "contact for support" only have the app close on me like I'm a door to door morman. Not worth my time, not worth my effort, not worth my money. I am uninstalling and using the five dollars to by an actual cam on eBay. Zero stars, if I could, but like this app, you can't do anything.
Great idea

By Casper8572 (Pcmac user)

This is an excellent app for those that do not have a webcam on their computer and want to save money and like to skype..... the problem however is that there is no audio transmitted so the other person cannot hear you, if you add audio this will be the hottest app out and I will buy the full version. Also there needs to be a way to make the video brodcast in Portrait view, landscape can be a hassle....Thanks
This is really free????

By iPhun (Pcmac user)

I have been considering getting a cam and have been shopping around. To my suprise my iPhone can do the trick. This app works perfectly! They leave a few things out to give you incentive to buy the paid version but this proves to me that it's worth it. Five bucks is much cheaper than the thirty bucks I was looking at spending. Very happy with this app.
