Lost Cause
Discontinued the same year it was released with no spare batteries available, I’d never buy another Shimano camera!
CM-2000
I bought a CM-2000 a year ago to use for my commute bike. Generally I like this app paired with the CM-2000. I can control the camera from the phone, and get a nice electronic rear view mirror along with a recording. However, the wireless connection to my iPhone drops randomly ... sometimes lasts the entire 45-minute ride each way, and sometimes just drops the connection. Is it the app, my iPhone iOS 12.1, the camera hardware, camera firmware .... cannot figure it out. I wish shimano had better support.

Absolute JUNK
Worst app I have ever used. Can never establish a connection for more than 10 seconds. Constantly glitches. Can’t adjust settings. Have no WiFi when connected. This needs a hell of a lot of development to even be close to useable! Sort it out
Useless
Terrible user interface and constant drop outs of the wifi connection. Bought cheap off the Internet. Now I know why.
Just about works but fiddly to set up
Ok. This is not easy to get working. Need an sdcard in the camera (fat32). Power on camera. Then, hold down the tiny mode/select button for 2 secs until it beeps. It’s so recessed I needed to use a fingernail to press it. Then, press the mode button one until C is displayed (stands for connection!). Then, press the scroll button until the Wi-fi and Bluetooth symbols both appear. Then, press and hold the mode/select button for two secs until green led lights up. Now go into phone settings and choose camera Wi-fi smn_cam etc. The password is shimano_cam. Then open app. It should work. But it drops the connection the moment you close the app. Have to go through this every time!

Useless app
I have an iPhone 7 plus but this app can't connect to the camera. The camera tell you it's connected but when you go to the app it says the session was disconnected. It then tells you to push a button to reconnect but there is no button to push.
Without phone connection on this camera most of the features it comes with turns to nothing (cm2000). The website doesn't say much that makes sense. Am completely surprise that a big company like shimano can rip people off Judy like that.

No support & no manual
The very brief manual for the camera says to refer to the separate app manual, which doesn’t seem to exist. There is nothing on their website, the FAQ are useless and there is no way to ask Shimano anything. You’re completely on your own. There is not even a user forum. What do the beeps mean????
Terrible camera
The device is very in user friendly but this latest upgrade to firmware is disastrous . Don't buy this camera .
Update 1.3.0
App updated to 1.3.0 but I cannot locate the firmware on the website to match. Now the app does not communicate with the camera.😩
Great Camera, Software Still A Work in Progress
Shimano deserves praise for taking on Go-pro with this fine little camera. However the iOS app still needs a lot of work. For example it is not possible to save movies over wi-fi.
