Thanks guys. After reading reviews, I will hold off on buying their premium thermal scope until I read here the apps have been fixed. ‘So glad I bought the cheapest scope that pairs with Rangefinder to test with. I’ll pass it on to lil’ bro when it’s finally clear to buy ATN’s expensive scope. ### 2/5 — Firmware *2020-09-03* I own several ATN products from the 4K binox with range finder that is SUPPOSED TO adjust my scope. I can’t link the 2 together and I have done EVERYTHING including hard installation with a cord from my computer on BOTH the scope which is a 4K hd night/day scope and the $800 4K binoculars in which I had trouble with from day one! When I called tech support they were grumpy and they made it out like I was incompetent and a LIAR!! I will never but another ATN product again! They already got me for a few grand!!!! Shame on them!!!! Don’t sell products that you haven’t tested thoroughly! I understand updates but you pretty much have to do all the programming and deal with freezing screens when you need it the most!! Binoculars that freeze up CONSTANTLY! I don’t get this company!!!????? ### 2/5 — App keeps crashing *2019-11-23, version 3.5* Could be a awesome app but it crashes constantly. ### 3/5 — Up Yours DOJ! *2019-10-02, version 3.5* I got this due to the DOJ's massive violation of the Constitutional Rights of the Citizens of these United States! ### 1/5 — Atn mars 4 640 4-40x *2019-09-17, version 3.5* This app doesnt work on my iphone xs max ### 1/5 — Atn x-sight 4k *2019-09-16, version 3.5* This app no working with my iphone6s ### 3/5 — Only got app because the government said not to *2019-09-07* Only downloaded this app because of the potential lawsuit that will be filed against the agency demanding that all owners of this app have their personal data turned over to the government. ### 1/5 — Loved the product *2019-08-25* This app used to allow me to watch everything in my scope with ease and no issues. I was hog hunting in South Texas 3 weeks ago and tried to connect, but it wouldn’t load the view through the scope. My crosshairs showed up. My angle, elevation, direction, etc. all showed up on the screen, but the actual imagine continued showing it was “loading” for about 3 hours. I tried turning off my phone and the scope to reboot, but it seems there is now a bug that isn’t getting fixed. What a shame. ### 1/5 — iPhone support awful *2019-06-03, version 3.5* The app repeatedly says it doesn’t have permission to access your camera/photo library yet there is no way of allowing access? A shame because the other functions are useful and it’s a fairly smooth interface. ### 1/5 — Iv *2019-04-07, version 3.5* Atn 5x20 HD 2 and IOS I can’t see live streaming on my iPhone ### 2/5 — App is garbage *2019-01-10* I have used this app for 3 months and all it does is lock up and has about 1/2 the brightness of the scope. I have had pigs see the light coming from my phone and run away. They should have a night option to turn the screen darker or even red so the pray can’t see it. I hunt with a crossbow so I have to be in close proximity. When it locks up the only way to reset it is to take the battery cover off the scope and replace it and restart the scope. I am surprised that there are no updates to this app and when you call ATN they are not very helpful at all and blow you off saying they know there are issues but can’t tell you if they are even trying to fix them. I purchased the scope mainly because of the app and it has dissatisfied me as of so far. It could be a great addition to the scope if they would fix all the issues. ### 2/5 — IPhone X *2019-01-02, version 3.5* I cannot find a way, within iOS settings, to allow the Obsidian app to access photos. ### 2/5 — ATN X-Sight HD user *2018-12-02, version 3.5* Unable to allow access to photos, app doesn’t show in privacy settings. Phone must be in Airplane mode to stream view finder. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-11-04* When reading all of the things you could do with the app and it won’t even allow access to your photos. In the technology world we live in it doesn’t seem hard to either fix it or stop false advertising what it can do. Maybe better yet, hire a decent app developer. ### 3/5 — Can’t access photos on IOS 12 *2018-10-14, version 3.5* I can’t access the photos a stuff from this app on IOS 12 ### 1/5 — Bug *2018-08-26* No access photo in setting and freeze in viewer app no syncronization in refresh photo App is obsolète ### 3/5 — Works But Doesn’t *2018-08-03* Most of the app works well on my iPhone 5s. The viewfinder does not stream video nor can I download media to my phone. Was told by tech support my phone might be to old but they didn’t know for sure hmmm. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — used to have a nice HUD on live view *2024-09-04, version 3.8* bring back the HUD on live view! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-12* Could never buy another ATN product after the experience I have had with the X-Sight II, the obsidian app etc. I sank a lot on money into this thing + mounts + batteries + peripheries + accessories. It just never worked properly… ### 1/5 — It’s nice when it works *2022-10-29* Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. If it worked all the time like it should I’d upgrade to the 4k or thermal but I’m not spending a bunch of money just to get frustrated with it ### 1/5 — ATN is a disappointment *2022-10-16, version 3.8* For the money I spent on my unit, this app is junk. I’ll make sure all my hunting groups on social media know ATN has gone to crap. ### 1/5 — Poor 😡 *2021-01-23, version 3.5* Great piece of kit Good app except can’t upload videos or pics to my phone Say allow access to gallery in settings and yet the option to allow isn’t there 😡 ### 1/5 — Total Sham *2020-06-07* I bought the ATN BinoX-HD 4-16x binoculars with the promise statement on advertising that it was compatible to Transfer directly to me iPhone and iPad. Not true. As stated in earlier reviews, this app hasn’t been updated in two years. Doesn’t work! There’s no way to give it permission to access photos, it doesn’t even show up. I’m returning mine, it’s useless to me this way. I have a great HD camera with 30x optical zoom that’s smaller and more convenient than this. Don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — App is horrible *2020-04-02, version 3.5* Crazy to pay 700$ only for the app to not work ### 1/5 — No photo access option *2019-12-06* I agree woth one of the reviews here there is no where for me to allow the app to access my photos I’m Confused and can’t figure it out any help Would be greatly appreciated ### 1/5 — ATN”s CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PATHETIC! *2019-11-24, version 3.5* They have yet to update this application to run on the current OS VERSION! THOSE OF YOU THAT JUST MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING AN ATN PRODUCT...GOOD LOOK WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORT! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN! I”VE ADVISED ALL OF MY FELLOW L.E. BROTHERS AND SISTERS AS WELL AS FRIENDS TO STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY! ### 1/5 — Photos are gone *2019-11-20* Are we really waiting two years for an App update? We can’t transfer pictures or videos from the scope to an iPhone 7 and up. This is horrible customer service and not an American company. You should be ashamed of how you are treating the people who support and pay your salary. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great with my phone *2019-09-16* Can’t imagine a better app. Does everything I need it to do and is very intuitive. ### 5/5 — DOJ Overreach *2019-09-13* I downloaded this app in protest of the DOJ’s latest move to try and secretly force ATN to give them the names of everyone who downloaded this app (see the Forbes article by Thomas Brewster). General warrants were outlawed with the 4th amendment to the Constitution, and the public must remain vigilant against their return. ### 5/5 — Great app, with scope and binoculars *2018-02-13* I’ve used this app on iPhone and iPad with the ATN scope as well as binoculars, and it’s fantastic. Have recommended to many friends/family. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert endlich Problemlos *2017-07-11, version 3.5* Alles schicki !!! ### 5/5 — Works great, good for spotters *2017-04-19, version 3.3* App is great for a spotter to use to identify targets and for easy configuration of settings when you don't want to sit behind the scope for several minutes to program it. ### 5/5 — I change my last review! *2015-10-22, version 2.0* Works great. The issues I was having with the app were resolved by updating the firmware of the scope its self Great app ### 5/5 — Fantastic piece of kit. *2014-10-31, version 1.0* The new ATN Smart HD optics will revolutionise the way we view wildlife day and night and this app brings it all together nicely into a well thought out package. Find your ATN X Sight to use with this app at www.scottcountry.co.uk ### 4/5 — Thor scope *2017-09-07* Works well, would be nice to be able to record while streaming, Having a big issue trying to record video on Thor after turning off streaming. ### 4/5 — Speicherung *2017-05-30, version 3.3* Kein speichern möglich !!!? App stürzt ab 😖 ### 3/5 — Needs updates. *2019-10-24* Any good company should know 2 years is two years too long for an update. Running ios 13.1.2 and the latest Binox HD firmware and I'm still having issues where it says "allow obsidian to access photos in your permissions". THERE'S NO OPTION FOR THAT IN THE APP! I'm a new customer but I'm extremely disappointed a company who toughts their technology at a price point, won't update the software coinciding with their products... I'll change my review if they fix the app... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
