I was expecting something much worse for the price but this is pretty well made. The app is probably the weakest point but even that does the job apart from the slightly annoying way it adds a black circle around the video when watching live that isn’t there on playback. It isn’t very integrated with iOS either though meaning (I think anyway) that it wasn’t able to save the video to my camera roll and only saved it within the app instead but still it definitely does the job I wanted it to do and presumably other apps will connect with it too so better ones might come out in future.
The actual device is pretty well made and connects to my phone via its own WiFi. My only real criticism is that the spoon is designed to extend further than the camera which means that you have to extra careful when manoeuvring around your ears because you might think you are safe and further away from your ear drum due to the camera showing you one position, only to push a little further forward to get some wax which means you can easily pierce the ear drum. Most people probably won’t have the patience or dexterity or wherewithal to use it that carefully or safely so I fear they some people can do some damage to themselves with this.
Still it does the job well enough and I am glad to have something that means I don’t have to rely on doctors or anyone else to see what’s going on with my ears. I will only use this VERY sparingly though out of fear of pushing too far into my ear and damaging the ear drum. The little covers for the tip spoon are easy enough to get on and off too which I expected to be more of a hassle so I was pleasantly surprised overall by this little gadget especially with such a cheap price tag.
