Great app!!

Nice clean look and easier to use than the older app!

Otherwise good

New app shows notification of new photos as now what I have for actual new photos, but rather the total number of photos that have come through since I started using the new app. Kind of annoying, defeats the purpose of having notifications turned on.

If it ainโ€™t brokeโ€ฆ

Why make a new app when the original worked fine! The new app is less intuitive and the pictures are way too small to view on an iPad/tablet. Pleas scrap this app and go back to the original. And should have a real landscape view!

User friendliness

This new, supposedly improved app isnโ€™t intuitive as the โ€œโ€Legacyโ€ as it is called. I have yet to figure out how to enlarge the photos as in the original app. The little version of pics make it difficult for my old eyes to see details as were evident on the original app.

Never will open!

Downloaded this after they said the new one was made and it has been nothing but crap. Never opens have to retry all the time. Canโ€™t believe that they are a huge company but they canโ€™t have a good app! Half tempted to get rid of all of the cameras and switch brands so I can get to see my pictures

New Convoluted App. Donโ€™t do it!!

First review I have ever written on anything in my life. I am 59 years old. I wish I could give zero stars, but there is no option for that. I downloaded the app as suggested and used it for three days trying to be open in an effort to get accustomed to it. In order to use it in the evening I had to wait and wait and wait for the pictures to load. I finally got out of it and tried later and again later, and again. In order to delete pictures there are several more button pushes than there was before with the last app and then to go back and look at pictures to zoom you have to go out of the window to delete and go back to looking at pictures and then go back into deleting. Itโ€™s crazy! I finally deleted the new revision! I went back to the old system from October 2021. I will deal with opening the app, clicking on the green window suggesting to download the new version, then closing the window and going back into the old app to use the system that way. Why would somebody convolute a new revision?

Never connects in the evening!

Been a Bushnell customer for years! Prior to updating the app it seemed that my friends and I couldnโ€™t connect to the app in the evening. I was hoping with the update that issue would be rectified.. not! Now at least we get a message that the attempt timed out whatever that means. Very disappointing season after season during the rut you canโ€™t access your cameras through the app. It would also be great if you could trigger the camera to take a picture, might be time to move on from Bushnell.

Loads slowly, if at all!

Tap the app to open and it takes forever. Have tried q 10-15 times today and itโ€™s actually opened properly twice. Tried on WiFi and cellular, horrible on both. Hope I can switch back to the old app just so I can see the pics from my cameras. $50 per month and canโ€™t even get my pics wirelessly thanks to this crappy app.

A step backwards for iPads

What a disappointment!! PLEASE let me keep the only one. Use iPad, super small screen, smaller picture views, even on iPhone. Wonโ€™t switch to landscape mode like old one.
Maybe have hunters test before pushing this out.
