First let’s start with the password selection. It just says “enter a valid password at least 8 characters” but makes you guess what a valid password means. Then, there is no way out of the tutorial for the app. I just want to see my pics, stop interrupting me several times to show me how the app works. At least give a skip option. The inability to download a screenshot from a video is just silly. I know I can’t download the video from the camera but why not create a button to download the screenshot? The list goes on. The cameras are great but the app is tiresome. When my 5 Bushnell cameras die, I’m switching to Moultrie. ### 3/5 — Thanks for the update *2026-07-13, version 1.6* I hate it. Why can't we just swipe through the pictures like we used to? And why do we have to select the photo to be able to zoom in on it? I liked it better before. ### 3/5 — App *2025-09-22, version 1.5.5* Love the cameras and the quality, but the app gives me a lot of issues. It never loads anything and half the time I can’t view my pictures without restarting my phone every single time. Other than the app, the cameras are great! ### 4/5 — Sharing *2025-01-02, version 1.5.4* How come when I try to share pictures with my wife and vise versa we both have bushnell cameras and it will not let you share you can send a picture at a time but I wanted us to see what each other has an pictures of ### 2/5 — Customer service *2024-09-06, version 1.5.2* Have 5 cameras and can only get one to send pictures. Tried calling, tried emailing and tried contacting someone through the app. It has been a month of attempts and still can’t get a response. App and cameras aren’t to bad when they worked ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-02-26, version 1.5* My cellucore20 worked perfectly until the free trial expired. Signed up for a paid plan and hasn’t worked since. Customer service never answers the phone. Finally got a return call weeks later, told camera was working well, not sure why data plan isn’t working, switched me to a different plan sad we were good to go…nope. And start the process over. Still not working. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2024-02-10, version 1.5* Won’t connect, poor manual, won’t recognise serial number. That’s just to get started ### 3/5 — App needs updating *2023-11-28, version 1.4.7* Camera works ok but app could really use more features to make it on par with other competitors. I would like to see an option for daily check in photos, a way to view videos with out going and getting sd card (kinda defeats purpose of a cell cam if I have to retrieve sd card), also set up mode to view what your camera sees while putting it out in the field, and much more user friendly way to tag/label pics. ### 1/5 — Another subscription? I just wanted a camera. *2023-11-05, version 1.4.7* This is crazy. $14.99 a month for data, but the camera takes a 32gb SIM card. 🤔 So it could just record to the SIM card, without forcing me to pay for aNOTHER monthly data plan. Buying another brand now. Disc golf speaker from them is garbage too. Can’t run alongside the UDisc app. 🤷🏽‍♂️😅🙏 please get it right y’all. I want to love your company. I really do. I swear it. ### 3/5 — Will not let me stay logged on *2023-09-03* On one of my iPhone updates, it really messed up the this camera app. Since then I cannot stay logged in. I have to log in each time or go to my email to see the trail camera photos. Today the app refused to accept my password and would not email me a link to reset it. For $15 per month per camera, I expect better support. **Developer response:** Sorry for your troubles! If you are still experiencing issues please contact our customer support team at 1-800-423-3537. ### 3/5 — Not good *2023-09-01, version 1.4.4* The app worked great last year. This year it keeps freezing up and I have to force close it and reopen. It’s good for about 2 minutes and then freezes agin ### 3/5 — What the icons mean hour glass and the i *2023-08-02, version 1.4.3* I just want to know what these new icons that just appeared . Is it a Apple version or is anyone else has this too ### 3/5 — Too many notifications *2023-05-24, version 1.2.8* If you have your camera set to take multiple pictures it sends you a notification every five seconds or so. Why can’t I set it up so there’s only one notification not five every time it takes a block of photos? ### 1/5 — App and camera are not good *2023-02-21, version 1.2.6* The app kept changing the field scan times and overlapping scan 1 & 2. I had to call customer service because i wasnt getting any pictures. He was able to change the scan times to what i wanted. I received 5 or 6 pics and then it stopped again. I have a cellucore 30 trail cam with unlimited data. The camera is set to take pictures every 1 minute (I’m doing a time lapse of our home construction) so far both the camera and the app are garbage. ### 2/5 — Even worse than huntsmart app *2023-02-02, version 1.2.4* The huntsmart app at least lets you add cameras from other makers. The bushnell app insists on you entering a valid bushnell cam serial number. Then it looks like you have to sign up for a data plan. Unless you do this you can’t use the app at all. Plus they want a phone number, as if they really need that. Trail cams existed before all this internet connectivity. Big companies do not need to spy on you to stay in business. If you need an app and paid account to use a trail cam, then return the cam and try finding one from a maker who respects your privacy. ### 1/5 — Poor transmission *2022-12-29, version 1.2.4* This trail camera will not transmit any of the pictures. It worked for a few months and then just quit. We replace the Sim card and the batteries moved it closer to the Wi-Fi receiver, but none of those techniques worked. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Connection sucks *2026-04-26, version 1.5.5* The cameras don’t update to the app like they are supposed to and every time I update my subscription I have to reach out to customer support to get all the cameras to update the plan to eat device. ### 1/5 — Camera *2025-09-15, version 1.5.5* I started my plan about a week ago and woke up today with 4 notifications and I clicked on the app and said I was signed out so I signed back in and now I don’t have an account with an active camera on it but I still have notifications for new pictures. I’m about tired of wasting my time on junk ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-08-29, version 1.5.5* You can't even login into the app and no customer support. ### 1/5 — Worked for 12 hours *2024-11-12, version 1.5.4* The app logged me out the first day I set up the camera. Now it comes up repeatedly with “Invalid credentials” I have uninstalled and reinstalled. At the time I have written this review I have called the 800 number 47 times trying to get help. The recording says due to high call volume and long wait times this que is closed. You 100% can’t get help. As I read the reviews they all respond call this number. I can assure you that number will get you no where. I can’t even log in to cancel the subscription. So now I bought a camera, I am paying for it monthly and I get zero from it. And I can’t cancel it. I own a lot of Bushnell products. I will never buy another one after this experience. Zero customer service after the sale. I’m going to have to cancel my debit card just so they stop the reoccurring billing. At this point I don’t feel like this is bad service, I feel like this is theft. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. Zero customer support, buggy app *2024-11-03, version 1.5.4* Used to tell everyone these were the best cameras and ended up buying 10 of them. Only 2/10 will now connect to signal after one season. Tried calling and emailing bushnell for 2 weeks and received no email response and the phone line is has an automated response saying they’re unavailable. Now the 2 cameras that were working say the don’t have subscriptions and won’t send any pictures while they most definitely do have subscriptions. Absolutely stay away from these! ### 1/5 — Bugs not fixed. *2024-09-28, version 1.5.3* This camera worked perfectly and took amazing pictures until the most recent update. Now nothing. Whatever bugs that I never noticed before were “fixed” In regards to my camera and my app. The bugs are not fixed. ### 1/5 — App not working *2024-08-20, version 1.5.2* I got logged out of the app, attempted to login in and keep getting invalid credentials. Same thing when I attempt to log in on a browser. I have tried power cycling my phone, deleting and reinstalling the app and still isn’t working. What am I paying for at this point. Have attempted to contact Bushnell for assistance and keep getting the queue is full every time I call. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-11, version 1.5.2* The app is clunky, it doesn’t let me set up plan. It doesn’t let me even save billing information. I can’t say if the camera is good or not since I can’t even use it. Update, I never heard from customer service and it still doesn’t work. DO NOT BUY! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all. *2024-07-06, version 1.5* U need new IT developers!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2024-05-07, version 1.5* I constantly have issues with the app and these cameras. Everything will be green lights, says great signal, but we will get nothing for weeks. Then randomly we will get 100 pictures/videos. It is unreliable and inconsistent. Spend the money on better cameras. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App and camera *2023-11-28, version 1.4.7* The App is easy to use and I love all the options I have to filter photos and change camera settings. Great job. -Jason H. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT & easy to set up *2023-09-26, version 1.4.6* I have two cellular trail cameras that I use on my property to augment my security system. My intention is to add more Bushnell cameras. They are reliable and this app is easy to use. You just name each camera to distinguish them from each other. LOVE! I get updates on my phone plus information is saved on the SD card. ### 5/5 — Best Cameras and App out there!!! *2023-09-21, version 1.4.5* After struggling with several other brands, I made the switch this year to Bushnell. Awesome user experience and products!!! Very happy with my decision! ### 5/5 — Great App and camera *2022-12-01, version 1.2.3* The App is easy to use and I love all the options I have to filter photos and change camera settings. Great job. ### 5/5 — Bushel trail cameras *2022-10-22, version 1.2.1* Love using my new trail cameras App is easy to use, Dependable, quality pics, long battery life and hopefully years of service ### 5/5 — Game changer *2022-10-21, version 1.2.1* I absolutely love my camera tells me exact times dates and I can control it from my phone ### 5/5 — Great cam for the price *2022-10-18, version 1.2.1* I’ve never had a cell phone trail cam before these are the first ones I’ve ever had and compared to the ones my son has the pictures are better the length of the battery life last is better all around great camera ### 5/5 — Free add on cameras service *2022-10-14, version 1.2.1* To expensive for additional cameras & to expensive for the first camera but good coverage so far with fair app uploading but good picture quality ### 5/5 — Cellucore 20 *2022-10-13, version 1.2.1* Love the camera but pictures are taking awhile to come in sometimes days ### 5/5 — No issues *2022-10-13, version 1.2.1* I love these cameras. I have several and never had an issue with any of them or the app. Update: The more I experiment the more I like them! I was already 100% satisfied with my purchases of the Cellucore 20 cams and the app, but as I learn how to operate them to their potential I’m now blown away. Thanks Bushnell ! I can watch all the game moving about my very rural farm while I’m hours away. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
