Overviewer Reviews

I want to thank the developer for making this tool available for teachers for free. I have not used it with zoom yet but I watched the video and tried the functions in Overviewer , such an easy to use tool with features exactly needed by teachers and students in virtual classrooms. It is heartwarming to know that there are ppl out there who genuinely wants to help teachers during this uncertain time. Thank you again Charlie.

Overviewer is great for teachers in remote teaching who don’t have a document camera or have the capacity to take theirs home from their school buildings. The setup is very easy to follow and almost foolproof. There’s a little bit of a lag in the video feed but only a couple seconds and doesn’t hinder productivity. You can zoom in using the “pinch” method on your phone screen. You would need to set your phone on an elevated platform such as a stack of books or boxes but a tripod probably works best in order to capture the image you want to project. Definitely recommend to teachers or others who need a document camera for video conferencing purposes.

I’m an art teacher and demonstrations over a document camera are so helpful and necessary! During remote education I would have to haul a big doc camera from school to home... or spend big money to have my own. Overviewer makes remote teaching a breeze. It works very well! Thank you! I’m so grateful!

Much easier than the EpocCam app I've used. My Ozmo works for books, but this is far better and picture quality is better because it uses the phone’s camera. If working from home it makes looking at books, etc. so easy.

I just discovered Overviewer, and I love how simple the screen looks compared to using the camera app. I wish for the ability to set a focus point though. Sometimes during a writing demo the camera is focused on my finger rather than the paper. Otherwise it’s fabulous! Love that you can turn on the flashlight, too.

I’ve been using Reincubate Camo and my own laptop when my daughter has virtual OT sessions each week to help with her handwriting. So grateful for Charlie making this and simplifying our setup. I just used it today connected to my daughter’s Mac mini.

Thanks for easily solving the rotation issue in an easy, straightforward way!

I have an online academy in drawing, I use my iPad as a camera and being able to slide the images around on Zoom screen sharing is fantastic, non of the other apps allow this versatility. Thank you.

Charlie, you really brightened my day. This will be so very helpful as I explain complex electromechanical devices to my professional audience. Thank you so much! (And please let me know how I can support you financially. I know this is free, but I figure for professional use I owe you some money!)

This is a simple app that serves great purposes for instructors and teachers. I’ve been looking for such an app for a long time.
I’m using it to connect my phone to the microscope and display the live camera to the projector screen. It is amazing and students like it.

I'm a science teacher and do a lot of labs for my middle-school students to observe while learning virtually during the pandemic. Overviewer cost you nothing, yet brings so much value to my lessons, as now I can model some labs live, vs. pre-recorded labs.

This a super simple and yet highly effective way to share external content over zoom via your iPhone camera. I highly recommend it.

I really can’t think of an easier app that solves the problem of “how do I show something over a video call?” Controls are intuitive; setup is as easy as plug-n-play.

I was going to use my iPhone as a doc cam today and my husband just found your app, I am so excited! I just used it with zoom and my students-so easy, I cannot thank you enough!

I have needed a document camera, but as a teacher I have limited funds. This worked beautifully! I used QuickTime to record my lesson and uploaded it for my students to use. Thank you!

Oh the bent arm webcam tripod resting on dining room table and a book (that I had to reference during a speech Ming you) wobbly fiasco I’ve endured trying to get an overhead viewer made 2020 that much more special. Thank you immensely for Overviewer!!

You have made virtual teaching easy during this difficult time not only for teachers and students.

Love the easy zoom in and out feature. Have recommended Overviewer to everyone I know! Thanks so much for creating!!!

Super fix for allowing my aspect to change from portrait to landscape while streaming with ECamm! Thank you for Overviewer!

Perfect for “zoom classroom document camera” (flashlight is great) but also for video. Almost no features which is wonderful—nothing to learn.

I’ve been using Overviewer in my role of providing mental health support remotely with elementary school students. I’d use it more if I could use it with my old iPhone 5 running iOS 10.

Works great. You should definitely add an in-app purchase to allow for tipping!

Teachers, presenters, and all who need to share what they’re scribbling on over videoconference—this is Overviewer you need!

using zoom as a remote teacher is difficult but this will help so much teaching math! thank you!!

Great great idea. Works flawlessly and super easy to use.

One of the more brilliant abs to appear. Please post I donation link.
