It would probably be a very quick thing to fix! I hope the author does so. It's unusable right now. ### 4/5 — Great App that does it says *2023-04-30, version 1.2* The app and user interface is nice. It does everything I expected it to do.. I would have liked it to separate the videos I saved in a separate “Dashcam” folder like on the Tesla itself stores them - Sentry, Dashcam, and Track.. The app had the videos saved as Recent Clips and Saved Clips and of course, I accidentally deleted the video clips I was saving. So I give it a 4.5/5.0 ### 4/5 — Great app! *2022-01-11, version 1.2* This is a great app! It does exactly what it’s intended to do. Show all four Tesla cameras simultaneously. My only suggestion would be for the developer to switch the location of the two side cameras on the screen. When I look at the rear camera and see something on the left side, it’s also on the right side camera position. Just switch the two side camera video locations on the screen and this would be a perfect app! ### 4/5 — Well Done *2021-05-18, version 1.2* For a free app, I can’t complain much. I imagine the developers saw how much other are charging for a similar product, and spent their own time to develop a free version for the rest of us! You guys rock! Definitely would love some improvement but I can’t complain! ### 3/5 — How do I contact? *2020-10-06, version 1.2* The support button on this app page doesn’t link to a contact us field. I’d love to ask for a feature update change that could greatly benefit the Tesla community. ### 3/5 — I want zoom and slow *2020-04-21, version 1.2* I want zoom and slow ### 2/5 — Pretty basic with not so great UI *2020-01-24, version 1.2* It’s a pretty basic app compared to the other apps like Dash View- that lets you jump to time of incident, AI powered thumbnails, a rich UI. And the same cost Totally repenting spending money on this app- wish I could get a refund. ### 1/5 — 4.99 by by *2020-01-06, version 1.2* Downloaded it and got absolutely nothing a complete waste of time this is supposed to be an Apple app no way complete nonsense. ### 2/5 — App needs to Support SanDisk iXpand *2020-01-01, version 1.2* It makes no sense that other sentry viewer apps can read my SanDisk IXpand USB to lighting but this app can’t. Note to Developer.. you have a. Awesome GUI interface. It just needs to support USB drives that have the lighting cable built in. I will change my rating back to 5 stars once supported. ### 5/5 — Worth it. Works. *2019-12-06, version 1.2* I don’t pay for many apps but this is 100% worth it. You need iPhone usb3 adapter, then plug lightning cable to power adapter, plug in your memory stick and it just works! Browse, scrub in fast forward, save delete. All 4 cameras synced and view together. No more sitting at my pc watching 4 different views independently over and over looking for what triggered sentry mode. Love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What is this? *2022-05-06, version 1.2* Does not work as it should! Boomer ### 1/5 — No Go *2021-11-21, version 1.2* Couldn’t get the App to work and couldn’t find any instructions to help. Kept getting an error message that there weren’t any video clips on the flash drive, but I had no problem viewing them on my laptop. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Saved sentry videos don’t work *2021-08-30, version 1.2* The app doesn’t seem to show sentry videos anymore. Only saved videos seem to show in the app ### 1/5 — 😂 worst apple app *2020-12-25, version 1.2* .....ever. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-24, version 1.2* Using iXpand 3.0, it’s got the TeslaCam folder on it and plenty of videos and also works fine with other cam view apps. However with this app, every time it’s asking me to choose Tesla cam folder. I browse the folders but it can’t find the usb drive???? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-03-07, version 1.2* I have IXpand drive and it doesn’t work can’t find any saved folder wasting money on this app my video from my Tesla model 3. Hope the developers can fix this. ### 1/5 — Meh *2020-02-27, version 1.2* Doesn’t work. Refund please ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-02-24, version 1.2* I have TeslaCam folder on a Samsung Micro SD card attached to iPhone XR using adapter to connect with lightning connector. It does not recognize the external SD card. Want my money back. ### 1/5 — SMB Connection *2020-01-31, version 1.2* I was able to connect via SMB but it is super slow to load, cant even play the videos. It shouldnt be a feature if it doesn’t work correctly. If i view the videos using SMB using Apples Files app it is fine. I got this app so that I can view all 4 cameras at once, but I can’t even see any videos ### 1/5 — Deleting Folder Issues *2020-01-13, version 1.2* Every time I try to delete a folder with clips the app says it can’t delete the folder, yet deletes the clips. I have to close the app then open it again, then when I delete the empty folder, it deletes. This is a really annoying issue that the developer has not fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-12-13, version 1.2* I’ve been using this app for multiple years. With three different types of drives and I’ve had no issues connecting to the drives or viewing the videos. ### 5/5 — I want pinched zoom *2025-01-23, version 1.2* Perfect if you can zoom in with two fingers. ### 5/5 — 최고의 테슬라 블랙박스앱!! 👏 *2021-04-12, version 1.2* TIME STAMP가 포함된 원본 영상이 필요했는데 딱 맞게 보여지는 훌륭한 앱입니다. 돈이 아깝지 않아요 🙌 ❤️ ### 5/5 — A solution to my problem! *2020-05-02, version 1.2* I recently purchased a Tesla Model Y and got really excited with all the geeky things I can do to it. One of the first things I did was setup the Teslausb for wireless archival purpose. The problem with that is the saved video files are split into individual files and for every camera views. There’s a way to merge it but it takes more time and resources to figure it out. So I googled for a Teslacam viewer that supports smb for ios. Lo and behold Cam Viewer has the solution! It recognized my smb drive (You’d have to connect it on File app) and it pulled the videos together and I get to watch every angles of the videos in one seamless view. Best of all, it’s FREE.99!! Thank you very much for this!! Let me know how I can buy you a cup of coffee!! ### 5/5 — Solid *2020-04-06, version 1.2* Works great. Takes a USB3 Apple Camera dongle to view, however, once I got it all set correctly it is working like a champ. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Works as expected *2020-03-11, version 1.2* Worked perfect with a g-drive ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-02-15, version 1.2* Right out the box so to speak, just read the notes and I promise it works. Great app for the money. Keep catching my wife poking her head out the garage door to look at Tess, i sense a little jealousy going on. ### 5/5 — Fun Stuff *2020-01-17, version 1.2* Didn’t read the Developer’s notes and picked up the wrong adapter, duh-urr. Calvin (cgBits) checked out my screen shots and got me back on track, all’s good. How awesome are TeslaCams! Don’t let ‘em go to waste, get this app. ### 5/5 — Great... *2020-01-08, version 1.2* I have a Samsung T5 and it works perfectly on the iPad, also works perfectly on my iPhone 11pro with the adapter the developer recommended. I did have a problem with the iPhone but after swapping out the power cable which wasn’t an Apple product, the app worked perfectly. Always check any connected cables before assuming there’s a problem with the app or the drive. It shares the clips on the spot which is invaluable for law enforcement when providing evidence. Thanks guys. Keep it up. ### 5/5 — Works great on 2018 Ipad Pro *2019-12-14, version 1.2* This works perfectly when I plug my SSD into my 2018 iPad Pro using a USB-C cable. Exactly what I was after. Can watch videos at 2x or 5x speed which is very useful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
