They’re not all the same package (accessories and app versions do vary). I STRONGLY suggest you go to your source of software downloads and CONFIRM you are able to download the app this item requires. So far, two out of two DIFFERENT purchased devices simply FAIL to load the requested apps, with no useful failure details. I’ve only tried within the Samsung variants, no idea if the Apple variants work any differently.

App works fine on Google Pixel 4a. I do think I had to turn off the VPN however. I may have also had to turn off mobile data in order for the phone to connect directly to the endoscope over Wi-Fi.

I have a different (newer?) model of this. It is really cool. I was excited to see it here for less than i paid. Looking closer, i would be concerned about this model. Mine has a little collar piece that screws on - to hold the spoon tip on. Without that, i would worry about the end falling off inside the ear. I’m cringing just thinking about that tip rattling freely against my eardrum.

I got one the first time we sold it. I was gonna once and for all find out why my son never hears me. I was really surprised at the clarity of the images.
Also found out that my son is just a jerk. His ears were super clean.

I just used mine a little while ago; it’s pretty damn cool, even though it’s exactly what I thought it’d be. It’s a little disorienting trying to use it in my own ears; it’d probably be a lot more useful for one person to use it to clean someone else’s ears.
I’d probably suggest, before using this, to bathe and rinse out the ears (I do this a few times in the shower daily to help keep them clean) first. Then, use a trimmer to get rid of the hair near the entrance to the ear canal; I apparently have lots of tiny hairs there that probably aren’t visible without a magnifier of some sort, and while I was able to get around them, they definitely get in the way. The trimmer I used was one of those combination nose/ear hair trimmers; I got a 2-pack from either Woot or Meh, and they work great for clearing hair from both places.
I should clarify that I’d already used this device and haven’t checked the view after using the trimmer, but the view can’t be any more obscured. Also, I didn’t have much wax in there; there was a little, but it looks like the aforementioned daily rinse keeps them mostly clean, so that’s what I’d suggest as a baseline then, particularly if yours have been plugged up and then you get a physician (your PCP) to clean them professionally. You could probably do that daily cleaning and then not have to worry about getting a device like this to manually remove wax, since some is OK.
As for a review of the product, I installed the app on an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet (I think the 2017 model, with the Play Store installed,) and it worked fine; battery life on the endoscope as reported by the app went from 30 to 27 minutes after what was probably more than 3 minutes. The metal portion of the scope did get warm as indicated in the instructions, most likely from the heat emitted by the LEDs.
The image quality was quite good; the instructions report a “3 MP” sensor, which is higher than Full HD resolution, and in any case the video was displayed in a window on a FHD display so it was potentially higher resolution than could be displayed. Also if the video being transmitted really is that high resolution, that’s likely why it requires a direct WiFi connection rather than being used over a lower-bandwidth Bluetooth connection.
The only other thing to note is that the scope rather disappointingly uses micro-B USB instead of USB, which isn’t really a problem because it includes a cable if you don’t already have approximately 900 of them like I do, but it is a little disappointing because the USB-C connector was originally described and published in 2014 and first appeared on devices in 2015 (AFAIK; the Google Pixel and Macbook Air were 2 of the first devices that I can think of.) Even if this scope is a model designed a few years ago, it’s likely not from 7+ years ago that would make it acceptable to distribute a consumer electronic device with Micro-B instead of Type-C nowadays…
