This is great. I have been looking for a solution to have one tablet be the remote viewer of another tablet, but using WiFi direct! Great for sticking on the back of my camper for backing in to tight spots. No WiFi needed

Definitely Love it. Seeing the camera of the other phone without stressing the internet data volume. Rate 5 if it's gotten better.1. Connection between Samsung S5 (marshmallow)&S2 ( Android 4.1.2) only when S2 is camera. 2. Connection with S5 as camera not possible. Both devices see each other only when Remote is tapped first. Even changed the resolution of S5 camera to 6MP if that makes a difference - nothing. 3. not working when switching screen off for power saving. If you do app not working anymore.

This app is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm an electrician and I'm often shoving my phone into a wall or ceiling to have a better look. Prior to this app I could only look at pictures and videos after the fact. It's a VERY BIG PLUS that I don't need any sort of internet connection because I'm often in areas with poor cell coverage and I rarely have wifi access. I can simply just connect two phones via wifi direct and I'm off to the races. Great job team DFTC!!
