Installed it per instructions and added a 16gig card. Cannot tell if it’s working besides flashing lights. The app only connects if you allow it access to location, notifications etc, otherwise it won’t work. Wasted a couple of hours of my time trying to get this to work. After all that the picture quality is not that great even in high definition. Looking at a car 40 feet away and it was getting blurry. Enough that I couldn’t read the license plate. Wish I could get my money back but I’ve had it too long. Do not buy dash cam if you’re looking for something with good video. Instruction manual need to have English as well. Most of the instructions are in Chinese. That did not do much good for me. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2020-08-20, version 3.3* Took over 3 months to get😏 Then did as the instructions said , downloaded the app can not get the cam to connect to my phone waste of money 😡 ### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 13 *2020-07-11, version 3.3* Was fine until ios13 update. Wifi connected but app not connecting to camera ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-07-10, version 3.3* This app is useless - does not connect. Terrible language. A waste of download. ### 1/5 — I WANT A REFUND! *2020-06-18, version 3.3* It worked for a month then the WiFi won’t connect. This camera is therefore unusable. Sort this product out and make it work or send me a refund!! ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-05-31, version 3.3* It says it’s connected but it isn’t. In the app, in recorder setting menu there are blank switches to turn on or off but no idea what they are for as they are blank. So far all it’s done for me is a purple light if I plug it in and I have no idea if it records or not. I’m sending it back for a refund. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it please, scam scam scam *2020-04-22, version 3.3* Scammmmm ### 1/5 — Bs camera. *2020-04-11* Im kot able to connect this bs video recording camera to iPhone X. Camera show light and nothing else. I’m try for more then 20 times. Just wasting money. Don’t buy this crap. ### 1/5 — 168CarDVR *2020-03-11, version 3.3* Hopeless. The recorder didn’t even connect via wifi from the day I got it. Even after reading instructions numerous times it still will not connect. ### 1/5 — Dash cam junk *2020-03-03, version 3.3* The Wifi connected once then turned off & would not connect again. Stated the password was incorrect even though it worked the once. One star is being generous. Pity I couldn’t read the reviews before purchasing & wasting my time. Luckily getting refunded through Wish. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-02-29, version 3.3* First was great, watched my trip to the shops, next time, the app would not connect to the camera, wifi would not accept the correct password, then it did, but then it kept showing that had to be connected by wifi, although wifi was, terrible, should have stuck to the Dashcam & app I trusted, money wasted ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-25, version 3.3* Camera can connect wifi with iPhone, but the App can’t see the camera still. Camera goes in the bin where it belongs, and app deleted. ### 1/5 — JUNK *2020-02-07, version 3.3* Cheap Chinese car DVR THAT DOES NOT RECORD! I repeat... IT DOES NOT RECORD ANYTHING! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CAMERA! I wish I would have seen these reviews before I purchased. I have paypal protection so I should get my money back. The fact that it does not record anything is unacceptable. It takes pictures, your able to view live feed. But it does not record anything. Any changes to settings DO NOT SAVE. You have to reconnect every time it shuts down. No auto connect. JUNK! Stay away! DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA! ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2020-02-03, version 3.3* If you’re lucky enough to stumble on this app before buying the camera, congratulations! You’ve just saved yourself from wasting your money. All the other reviews explain why. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-01-27* It’s a scam. Don’t waste your money. Came without card. I purchased the car but you can’t record anything. You can only view video. Now would not connected to the app anymore. There is no costumers service. You cannot return it. I am stuck with it. ### 1/5 — Junk junk junk *2019-12-29* This cam came with no SD card and was not a forward and rear cam as the ad described. This is junk as I purchased an additional SD card and videos will not save or transfer over. This only shows and streams live video on my cell phone I wound not recommend this product. It was hard to set up as well and the instructions were lacking Some many other better options out there. With I would have stuck with Nexar. ### 1/5 — Very bad waste of money didn’t work at all *2019-12-21, version 3.3* I need my money back it’s not what’s been advertised the product not worth 2$ shame on you thieves ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-12-20, version 3.3* This app doesn’t work on iPhones! Also, the cam recorder is useless without the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-12-15, version 3.3* Doesn’t connect to DVR, is just plain worthless. Junk. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2023-06-30, version 3.3* Does anyone have an alternative way to view dashcam footage ect other than this app??? It doesn’t let me view my videos from my phone and doesn’t seem to record properly I’m missing heaps of footage?? ### 1/5 — iOS 15 not working *2022-04-18, version 3.3* Does not work in iOS 15 . Developer hasn’t updated for 2 years. Those dash cams will not work. ### 1/5 — Trucker *2021-08-20* I have one on my tractor and another one on my SUV and when I try to download it crashes. Wha I do is I take the memory card out and I download all the videos on my Lap top some won’t show it crashes and soddenly stops working. Just don’t waist your money. This app needs an update so bad and I would like my money back this is trash. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2021-05-10* Absolutely terrible user interface can’t see menu categories and nothing saves so you cannot rely on this working when you need it ### 1/5 — Will not connect to dashcam *2021-03-10, version 3.3* Keeps asking to connect to dashcam wifi even when it already is.

App and dashcam now useless. ### 1/5 — time *2020-11-27, version 3.3* the camera say it has wifi but not i cannot connect to it the app just says no conmection yet my phone says its connecected and app company will not answer why ### 1/5 — Awful DashCam Awful Ap *2020-10-14, version 3.3* Video quality is awful, pairing to your phone takes forever, limited features. Cheap design and there’s no way this is 4K. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-10-03, version 3.3* Operation of camera work intermittent - most recordings not saved. ### 1/5 — Used to work but now won’t connect *2020-08-23, version 3.3* It was good at first allowing me to review clips and manage the camera.

App works great. *2019-06-26, version 3.1* Really quite simple to use. Has a English setting. Have you be close to camera to connect and playback which is yo be expected. Not sure what people are expecting of this program. Simple and strait forward to use. ### 4/5 — If you know how to use it! *2019-02-01* Installed it 4days ago. I can download videos and take screenshot as well. I dont have any problems. I just hope the dash camera will last. ### 3/5 — Works fine with iOS 13.3.1 *2020-05-07, version 3.3* Allow it to know your location and it will work as described. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2020-01-13, version 3.3* Had this quite a while now and check footage on iPhone every now & again but often find it does not connect via WiFi but take out the card and scan on laptop. Not what I wanted. Nice neat and small but to many floors so buying different one ### 3/5 — Any plans to make it work with recent iOS? *2019-10-22, version 3.1* It stopped working after recent iOS update. Any plans to fix it? ### 3/5 — Close but no banana! *2019-10-15, version 3.1* Since release of IOS13 it not work as did with IOS12.xx Had not problems with the software until this. I could skim forward and back save shots and had great video recordings. Please fix for IOS13. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
