" ... The product is much better, the app is much better, and all for a lower price. ... "

" ... First, I could not connect it to my iPhone 6s because I have a case around my phone (Otter Box), so lightning connector on Seek camera is too short. ... "
" ... Consistently loses connection and has to be restarted. ... "

" ... Did not work with any of my 5 android devices. ... "
" ... this is supposedly a usb android device but when I installed the app and connected it never came online. ... then how come it doesn't work on all android phones? ... Also I want to mention that Seek is a partner of Inteliscope, another device with a required app that doesn't work! ... "
" ... - Poor platform compatibility -- The same product not only doesn't work across Android and iOS, but it won't even work across different USB variations. ... Overall, I'm knocking this product down because of the compatibility, as it became useless because I simply upgraded my phone. ... I would expect this thing to simply be USB-based and work on all devices that utilize USB (both Apple and Android), and definitely be able to work with different versions of Android. ... "
" ... Seek also had no SDK for Windows, Mac, Linux ect. ... "
" ... I really wanted this to work, but it would not connect to my android no matter what. ... "
