### 4/5 — Glad they support this

*2018-10-22, version 2.6.1*

I purchased my contour +2 camera just as the company went bankrupt... At the time, they had the best mounts, the best features and were positioned to take over the market, then poof! They were gone. 

This version retains the features that their update four years ago had, but it works with my iPad and iPhone SE.  There could be more functionality, in my opinion, including loop recording and the ability to operate the camera while tethered to a power source, but as this is an older camera, I’m just happy they’re keeping it supported so it remains functional.

### 3/5 — iOS 11

*2017-09-22, version 2.4.1*

Is this App going to be upgraded for iOS 11? It’s not opening after I upgraded today.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work at all

*2017-07-29, version 2.4.1*

App is nonfunctional, don't bother

### 2/5 — Just get a GoPro

*2016-11-13, version 2.4.1*

Contour obviously isn't committed to their cameras or costumers. I have a Contour 2+ because it was a little cheaper than GoPro but now I wish I had just gone mainstream. The camera isn't bad but there aren't very many mounts and this app is absolute garbage. Don't get a contour

### 1/5 — I guess we will never see another update to this software?

*2016-05-15, version 2.4.1*

I guess we will never see another update to this software?

### 1/5 — Don't buy this camera

*2016-03-05, version 2.4.1*

Functions like junk
App has never worked.
Waste of money

### 4/5 — Can't watch video

*2015-01-13, version 2.4.1*

I love this app I just wish I could watch the videos I took on the ride home but you can't.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2014-12-16, version 2.4.1*

This app let me connect my Contour+, adjust the GPS frequency, picture/video mode, check the available space on memory card, battery level, etc.
To be even better, it could be able to watch videos in the camera and be able to delete videos/fotos, so we wouldn't need to carry a laptop everywhere

### 1/5 — Won't connect to camera

*2014-08-15, version 2.4.1*

I'm sure this would be a great app but it shouldn't be this complicated. Iv tried every support topic on contours website and I still can't get it to connect in the app. I'm assuming my connect view card is damaged in the camera.

### 4/5 — More features

*2014-08-04, version 2.4.1*

It would be nice to be able to watch the recent recordings via the app - delete recent clips etc.

### 4/5 — Had good luck so far

*2013-07-08, version 2.2.3380*

Have had multiple versions of this app.  Never had a problem connecting like I did with the JVC Adixxion app.  That one never connected at all, no matter what their instructions, or lack thereof said.  Only problem I have right now is that it will connect to my 5th Gen iPod Touch, but not my iPad 2.  Haven't done enough triage on it yet, but not worried about getting it to work.  Been a solid performer for me, just wish they would allow for multi-cam support as I am using three of them for rock concert shoots.

### 4/5 — Lab Rats

*2013-01-18, version 2.2*

That's one way to find out if a release works.... Put it out there and see what's wrong with it.... My EyePhone 4s worked with Contour GPS, but made the mistake of giving them more money for the Contour+2 and... Na-da...!  You should be paying us!  Just point-n-shoot and see what I got later... Thanx Contour... Happy New Year!

UPDATE:

Contour replaced the unit and EVERYTHING works as advertised.  Thanx, Contour... And yes, it would be nice to have a playback feature and a few other tweaks.

### 1/5 — Hasn’t Been Updated

*2022-08-04, version 2.6.1*

This company has been one failure after another.  Every 4 years, they will finally provide an update for bugs.  Don’t expect another update since they have been bankrupted and closed for 4+ years and counting.

### 1/5 — No camera detected

*2017-12-03, version 2.5.1*

Downloaded newest app, made sure firmware is current, deleted, reloaded this and that. Says tested on +phones and X, so I guess it is no longer supported by a 5s. Time to break out the hammer, then support a competitor.

### 1/5 — Another weak version from a once promising company

*2017-11-28, version 2.5.1*

When contour started they had everything they need to bury go pro. Their product was superior- in terms of looks, features and functions. Then suddenly they went dark. 

Just like the company their apps and support has gone dark. Occasionally a new version comes out but it often causes problems for people using anything but their latest product. 

I downloaded this in hopes of getting the Bluetooth functionality to work again. It did not help. Guess this app can't save a once great product

### 1/5 — App needs to be updated to latest iOS

*2017-11-18, version 2.4.1*

App needs to be updated to latest iOS

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated to work w/ iOS 11.

*2017-11-17, version 2.4.1*

Use to work with iOS but needs to be updated to work with iOS 11.  😢

### 1/5 — Where is iOS 11 support?

*2017-11-15, version 2.4.1*

Guess it’s time for GoPro

### 1/5 — No iOS 11 support

*2017-11-01, version 2.4.1*

Broken!

### 1/5 — Useless Now

*2017-10-09, version 2.4.1*

Camera is almost useless since the company has not made an update to its app in over two years. It will not work with IOS 11.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect my phone/camera

*2017-10-09, version 2.4.1*

This is the mgs the developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility, you need yo update the ios 11! :-(

### 1/5 — Please someone update this app

*2017-09-05, version 2.4.1*

This app is way outdated, it doesn't work at all, contour please update your app, before people start switching to gopro

### 5/5 — Love contour!

*2018-01-15, version 2.6.1*

I really enjoy my contour and prefer it over my GoPro, contour’s apps are easy to use and have a few more features than GoPro that I really like. The only thing that I wish contour had is, inside their iOS app for iPhone it doesn’t show you the videos/photos you have taken. I wish there was a button you could press that would show you a library of all the footage you’ve taken. That is just one feature I hope they add in the future!

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-11-30, version 2.4.1*

I love that I don't need to add a case to make it waterproof. Camera is great and works perfect. 
Get this camera.

### 5/5 — Contour

*2014-12-26, version 2.4.1*

I find the app is pretty good but it is complicated and I wish u could cut look at other clips and add slowmo 
But it's an ok app

### 5/5 — Can’t wait for the next innovation!

*2014-07-11, version 2.4.1*

Great to have Contour back in the game!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Welcome back!

*2014-05-23, version 2.4.1*

Eagerly awaiting updates, good to have you guys back in the game!

### 5/5 — Glad to see Contour back!

*2014-04-12, version 2.4.1*

Hope the firmwares will be updated soon!

### 5/5 — I love my contour

*2014-02-12, version 2.2.3380*

I've had absolutely no problems with this app since I bought my contour in 2012. I see a number of people struggling to sync with the app but as far as I know if it hasn't synced, kill the app in background, turn your contour Bluetooth on and then open the app to say whatever crap about Bluetooth. At this point if it hasn't connected then go to the Bluetooth settings and manually click on the contour device and voila!! If that doesn't work I would consider making sure your firmware is up to date. 

Glad they're back in action!! Can't wait to see the new contour under the new management!!

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2013-04-20, version 2.2.3367*

App works perfect on my Contour+2 and my iPhone 5. I had no issues however we tried to connect to my friends iPhone and the app wouldn't work UNTIL we reboot his iPhone. After we reboot his iPhone the app worked on his phone perfectly. So something's very strange with iPhone so if anyone has problems try rebooting your phone that may solve the problem!

### 5/5 — Lovin' it

*2012-11-04, version 2.1*

I admit I had my share of issues with my ContourGPS and with customer support, but after understanding that I purchased a small form action camera, there are limited input buttons and you had to know the proper sequence to get the camera to behave how you want it to. Took a bit of patience, determination, and practice to learn it, but I did and it's simple.

Now, with Contour Connect App, my camera is even more simpler to setup and use. I especially like the ability to start and stop the recording through the app. That functionality exceeded my expectations! Excellent App.

For the user, ShootAnyAngle, that gave the app a poor rating because it didn't do a live feed and record straight to the iPhone...go buy a big camcorder instead and strap that on your head. The Contour camera is a wearable, action camera that was always meant to recorder your adventures, to be played back on another device.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Update!!! To those of you having issues please read...

*2012-10-06, version 2.1*

THANK YOU CONTOUR for this outstanding App Update!
LIVE Viewing while recording is so AWESOME! Being able to adjust see/update/control my Contour cameras with my iPhone 5 (Running iOS 6) is just incredible. And having my Contour+2 cameras auto pair via Bluetooth is also great!

For those of you having issues and writing negative comments…
You have to update your Contour camera Firmware so it works with the new App update. Once you get this done you'll be solid!
