### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2017-12-07, version 1.0*

Tried this because I couldn’t find the standard app but this doesn’t work at all...don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-03-30, version 1.0*

This app is not work properly!!
Please don't download!!!

### 1/5 — Wish they had an option for zero stars

*2017-01-15, version 1.0*

This app has no functionality. All the menu items shown on the preview have only one default option available. The only thing that worked was a factory reset button that was poorly labeled and wiped my camera with one click. 

Apple, please remove this app from your store to save future customers from the terrible experience I just had.

### 4/5 — Great for a version 1.0

*2016-09-13, version 1.0*

This app is much easier to use than the manufactures app. It took a little finagling and re-connections the first time, but after that, it fired right up. The only thing I would like to have added to the app would be control over the cameras bitrate. Other than that it is right on target!

### 1/5 — Xiaomi yi camera app

*2016-08-14, version 1.0*

This app is horrible do not get it
