Does not work. Shady apps. USEE app does not exist.
As someone who had the unfortunate experience of having a bug enter the ear canal while asleep and cause excruciating pain when trying to get out, I developed a paranoia where if I feel anything in my ear I assume it is a bug.
In hopes to ease this paranoia I purchases this after seeing the many positive reviews. However, after trying on SEVERAL different phones (Android and Iphones in varying generations) and downloading SEVERAL different apps, none could detect the USB camera. Whats worse is that these "otoscope camera" apps are shady. It quite obvious when the developer name is something like "bubble shooter game" or "otoscope camera". Majority of the apps were from Chinese developers. Almost all of the apps were rated 3* or lower and some users complained of these apps acting like viruses like having permission to use their microphone where it stays on in the background when not in use.
Save yourself the trouble and purchase the digital otoscope that comes with its own display and doesn't require you to download any app. Personally, I purchased the "Digital Otoscope with 4.5 Inches Screen, Anykit 3.9mm Ear Camera with 6 LED Lights, 32GB Card, Ear Wax Removal Tool, Specula and 2500 mAh Rechargeable Battery, Supports Photo Snap and Video Recording". All it needed was plug and go. No downloading or any fishy business.
