Waiting for customer service to respond or camera goes back. ### 3/5 — Worked, now doesn’t *2022-03-29, version 1.2.4* I upgraded to iOS 15.4, and this app will not connect to Brave 4 4k camera via Wi-Fi. Worked perfectly before the iOS upgrade. Will this app be updated to iOS 15.4 compatible? This app was a wonderful remote control for the camera, very useful. Now locks up at “Initialization…”. Useless. Can u fix? Thank you!! Chris ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2022-03-14* Ich habe mich mit dem Wlan der Kamera verbunden doch es zeigt mir immer wieder an dass die kamera nicht verbunden sei. Einfach schrott ### 3/5 — Works ok I guess *2022-02-25, version 1.2.4* Bought this for a drone recovery mission to mount on a pole looking down to scan a wooded area without having to fight my way in first. Pretty much useless to me in that respect when the WiFi view is only 1/4 of the screen. It does work though, and video looks good but it’s pretty irritating there’s not a full screen button when you’re viewing the camera in real-time. ### 1/5 — Terrible app, terrible camera, terrible company. *2021-12-22, version 1.2.4* Don’t try to save a buck with this nonsense. Just buy GoPro. ### 1/5 — Won’t connect to camera *2021-11-13, version 1.2.4* Won’t connect to the camera, which makes both the app and the camera useless. ### 1/5 — Great camera. Shame about the app. *2021-10-09, version 1.2.4* I wish I could connect my ek7000 it would definitely improve the functionality. Sadly it seems that I am unable to connect them. 😞 ### 1/5 — Müll *2021-09-10* Die App ist leider absolut unbrauchbar. Es gibt anbei andere Apps die kompatibel sind. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert NICHT *2021-08-09* Die App funktioniert schon lange nicht mehr. Egal ob auf dem Handy oder mit dem iPad. Kann die Kamera mit der App nicht verbinden und somit keine Fotos anschauen. Ziemliche Enttäuschung!! ### 1/5 — Kamera kann nicht verbunden werden *2021-08-01* Obwohl Wifi mit der Kamera verbunden ist kann man die App nicht benutzen. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-07-18, version 1.2.4* Constantly restarts, won’t save video, completely useless. Developers should be ashamed. ### 1/5 — Software Fail *2021-07-17, version 1.2.4* Camera works well- good pics, the device comes with everything you’d want or need and at a great price. BUT… software is a major fail and renders is useless compared to other devices. Spend the extra for GoPro so you aren’t disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Connect to Camera *2021-06-22, version 1.2.4* I got the ek7000 for Christmas and in that time it has only connected to the app twice. The rest of the time the app just comes up with an error message telling me to turn on my wifi, when the wifi settings says my phone is connected to the camera. The other app by Akaso doesn’t work either, it won’t connect without an account and it won’t let me set up an account. ### 1/5 — Absolute Garbage *2021-05-25, version 1.2.4* Can’t connect to wifi . Connects ok to Ivan-AKASO ssd but when open app won’t connect the camera no wonder it’s only £45 on Amazon it’s utter garbage ### 1/5 — Wi-Fi Problems *2021-05-07, version 1.2.4* Spent all evening trying to connect Wi-Fi to iPhone 7. No joy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stürzt nur ab *2026-01-09* Die App stürzt bei jedem Versuch, Fotos oder Videos zu übertragen, ab (iPhone 16 Pro). Daran hat sich seit 2022 (erste Verwendung) trotz zahlreicher Updates nichts geändert. Leider unbrauchbar. ### 1/5 — Taugt nichts *2025-04-24* Mit dem iPhone XR IOS 18.4.1 kann ich die Kamera nicht verbinden. Ich sehe das WLAN der Kamera, wähle es am iPhone aus und erhalte die Fehlermeldung „Schließen Sie die Kamera versagt. Schließen Sie die Kamera an WiFi an“ . Zig mal wiederholt, App reinstalliert, Kamera neu gestartet. Keine Veränderung. ### 1/5 — Got rid of all my videos *2025-02-17, version 1.2.4* DO NOT HIT FORMAT ALL YOUR VIDEOS WILL DELETE AND THERE IS NO WAY OF GETTING THEM BACK ### 1/5 — So much potential *2024-04-08, version 1.2.4* Camera seemed like a good fit until app keeps crashing and isn’t really usable smh almost had one ### 1/5 — Waste of time and money *2024-03-16, version 1.2.4* App won’t work. App won’t connect to the camera. ### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab *2023-08-18* Die App hängt sich ständig auf beim übertragen der Bilder/Videos. Absolute Katastrophe ist die App. Die Camera an sich ist gut. Wäre auch mal Nice wenn es ein Update geben würde. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2023-05-29, version 1.2.4* As others have written the app is very buggy. Often times drops connection from my phone to camera or the app randomly shuts off. Wish the connection to phone thru app was Bluetooth and not the camera’s wifi. The GoPro app was much much better. Either way, hopefully the developers can improve the functionality of the app and stabilize the bugginess! ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-04-07, version 1.2.4* Wasted over an hour trying to get this to work. Even tried advice from a few different YouTube videos, and got absolutely nowhere. ### 1/5 — Unusable due to crashes *2022-12-27, version 1.2.4* Managed to download one video from the camera, but attempting to share it from the app leads to nothing but crashes. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time! *2022-10-17, version 1.2.4* Can’t save a video to my ipad or share at all…app crashes when I hit the share icon. Video is stuck in the app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gut *2021-06-05* Es ist sehr gut ich bin zufrieden ### 5/5 — Can Finally Connect To The App *2020-07-21, version 1.2.3* After months of not being able to use the app, I was about to send the action camera back to retailer for a refund, but realised the app was recently updated. Thank you. ### 5/5 — The app *2020-05-03, version 1.2.2* Works Perfect! ### 5/5 — Very Good Product *2020-01-03, version 1.2.1* Good quality and good battery life! Would recomend ### 5/5 — Version 1.2.1 *2019-12-30, version 1.2.1* I just downloaded this updated version and it looks like it is working fine. No more crashes. Thank you technical team! ### 5/5 — Great camera *2019-09-21, version 1.2.0* This camera is great for use in the athletics world and has made a big difference for us in marketing! ### 5/5 — Payless for great quality!! *2019-08-27, version 1.2.0* High quality product and very easy to use app. Why pay more for a GoPro when you can Payless for the same level of quality. Taking my new camera whitewater rafting on Friday. I will let you know how it does :) ### 5/5 — Klappt prima mit der V50 Elite! *2019-08-20* Ja, die Übersetzung ist manchmal holprig, aber mir geht es ja in erster Linie um die Funktionalität - und die ist gegeben! Ich kann auf die Bilder/Videos zugreifen und kann die Kamera fernsteuern. Alles prima, alle Sterne😄 ### 5/5 — Great gadget *2019-07-18, version 1.2.0* Unbelievable features in this gadget for such a good price. ### 5/5 — Impressed *2019-06-30, version 1.2.0* I have got the ek7000 for Father's Day have it a try out and it's amazing I give it 5 stars all the way!!! Looking at getting me a second one for a back up --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
