  • Perfect, for a while

    Worked perfectly for about three weeks, then it came up with a text message instead of an image and failed to connect to the camera. If I can get it working again I’ll give the 5-star review I gave originally. Until then, know that there are still some glitches in this app.
  • Terrible app! Don't buy it

    APP doors not work. Bought camera, then the developer does not keep up with upgrades so it does not work after Apple does their upgrades.
  • Do not buy> 10-12 sec delay for reverse camera to start

    Not instant on system.

    Professional installation.

    Setup to come on when using reverse.

    Issue is when not in reverse, the WiFi is essentially powered off. Meaning the camera’s WiFi needs around 10 - 12 seconds to reboot and connect to running app each time car is placed in reverse. I submit it is unrealistic to wait 10 sec or more before reversing.
  • Stopped Working

    The app stopped working after the current update. Can not get any support
    Not worth the money !
  • Have to keep manually connecting

    Whole reason I bought the camera to use with this app was for when I back up in reverse. Not only does opening the app close out my music but I have to manually connect to use the camera. Kind of defeats the purpose for why I bought the camera
  • Extremely short range! Useless!

    I have a Celica and tow a little tear-drop trailer of only 12 ft. The camera’s range of LESS than 16 ft (5 meters) means the signal is lost before I can get in the driver’s seat!! Is app tells me to download the FW 1.1.4 version, but it doesn’t seem to be available. So: Short car, short trailer, not enough range to work!
  • Poor reliability

    Poor quality worked five or six times. Now useless!
    Emailed the company that according to the enclosed information that they usually return an answer within 24 hours. That was mid May still haven’t heard a word as of July 4th.
    Done waste your money or time installing this!
  • Does not work with iPhone XS Max.

    Once in the app you get locked out of using Siri on your iPhone. I have to manually close the app on my phone in order to allow Siri to work again. Defeats the purpose of hands free operation. Also, in the app there is a button for settings. When you select it it tries to update a firmware version and then it fails by timing out. When are you going to address these bugs? The camera itself is great.
  • IPhone

    Wish app was full screen, gray bars shrink image to small.
  • Useless

    WiFi doesn’t connect without going to settings to specifically choose it. That means that every time you want to back up you have to first put your car in reverse to send power to the camera. Then go to settings on your phone and choose the WiFi. Then open the app. By the time all this happens you could have been a mile down the road.
