### 1/5 — 앱이 안열림.

*2025-12-17*

### 1/5 — Ужасно.

*2023-08-25*

Перестало работать с камерой. 1*

### 3/5 — Can actually connect now!

*2023-07-08, version 1.525*

OMG! After 3 years or trying each new version: the app now doesn’t crash. I can actually run the app and see my 750 cameras.
It’s still a bit clunky: goto iPhone settings, connect to the BlackVue WiFi, then in the app pick the BlackVue WiFi again, and then it’ll finally connect. So some kudos to the developers!
Could do better for sure, but having the ability to change a setting or see some video is a huge leap!

### 1/5 — 650GW-2

*2023-07-05*

Взяли и убили классную продукцию регистраторов блэквью. Ни одна прошивка ровно не ставится на регистратор, вечная перегрузка, а что бы подключиться к телефону- это танцы с бубнами в пустую!!! 100% отказ от этой продукции, наплювательское отношение к пользователям уже давно замечено

### 1/5 — Pourquoi avoir fait si nul

*2023-05-16*

Super matériel avec ancienne application qui faisait son job. Nouvelle appli ZÉRO pointé. Je regrette d’avoir fait l’acquisition de ce matériel BlackVue 900S 2 CH

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-24, version 1.525*

Had a recent accident and I’ve been trying to connect to the camera to download the video file. The App just won’t connect to the camera. I thought it was me but after reading the reviews it’s obvious that there are other issues!!! Absolute rubbish considering its supposed to be a top end camera. I had to remove the micro so card and put it on my laptop to recover the file. Not good enough!!

### 2/5 — App crash

*2023-03-20, version 1.525*

After update the app. I can’t connect my camera to app. The App will crash when try to connect camera’s wifi

### 1/5 — Don’t bother it’s rubbish

*2023-03-12, version 1.525*

2 weeks ago we paid a fortune for this. It worked well UNTIL they decided to make it redundant. Now you have to download the new app, make a cloud account, pay for that in US$. Even then we can’t connect to camera or download it. RUBBISH EXPENSIVE RUBBISH.

### 1/5 — Application archi nulle

*2023-03-09*

Elle est grave compliquée à utiliser Surtout Depuis la dernière mise à jour. Et a la moindre Manip Elle efface complètement la carte sim Heure format 24h impossible à régler Ça beug !! Et elle rame de trop !!! Trop lente ! Moi ce que je veux c’est un accès très rapide à mes enregistrements

Avant je pouvais télécharger des vidéos sans connexion internet 
Maintenant c’est impossible 
Donc nul nul nul la nouvelle version.
