### 1/5 — Frustrating!

*2016-10-13, version 1.0.3*

Connecting device to iPhone is as close as I can get to using this app. I have no access to change settings, Record or Stop. If I am in 'Shoot' mode, I need to close the app and reopen to get back to 'Gallery' mode. I just can't use it. Deleted app, reinstalled and same problem. Please fix. I don't understand how so many customers have written so many poor reviews about this app and still nothing changes, no apology, no updates nothing. Come on Drift, you've had our money, now please give us some service.

### 1/5 — Please fix the app

*2016-10-13, version 1.0.3*

Love my camera but doing anything on it is just.... you can't do anything on the app can't watch a video without it crashing all the reviews are the same why can't you fix it !!!

### 1/5 — C-c-c-crash

*2016-09-22, version 1.0.3*

Just to reiterate what everyone else is saying-this app is truly awful.
Coming from the Go-pro app which is instinctive,easy to use and really enhances the user experience in truly working alongside their range of cameras,I am really disappointed in my investment in a Stealth 2-solely due to the lack of support in a woeful app.
We're now on iOS 10 and most other developers have have already adapted their apps with tweaks and updates.
This app needs a complete overhaul or it will be responsible for customers going elsewhere.
Great camera,completely let down by shoddy support and lack of updates.Please listen to your users!

### 1/5 — Is this serious?

*2016-09-09, version 1.0.3*

This has to be the absolute worst app I've seen from a major brand name. Terrible. Mostly just doesn't work, impossible to change any of the device settings without the app immediately quitting.

The refresh rate of the image when previewing the shot is so slow as to be unusable.
That might be forgive able if the rest of the app worked, but doesn't, so it's not.

### 1/5 — Terrible App / Doesn't work

*2016-09-08, version 1.0.3*

Crashes when trying to watch videos back

### 1/5 — Frustrated!!

*2016-08-15, version 1.0.3*

Exactly what everybody else is saying about this app....RUBBISH!!!!

### 1/5 — This app I s shameful

*2016-08-02, version 1.0.3*

It looks like drift have spend all their money on the product and run out when it came time to create an app. 

I love my drift stealth but I can't use it. When trying to change the camera settings via the app it crashes. Unacceptable.

Although I can download videos from to my iPhone I can't seem to save them in my photo roll short of emailing myself a hugh MP4. If anyone can help with this problem please let me know as I don't have a laptop at the moment.

### 1/5 — Great camera...

*2016-08-02, version 1.0.3*

Terrible app. The video I captured looked great quality on my phone for the millisecond that it was on the screen. Nothing else has worked however, I can't stream my videos, I got 30% through transferring one before it failed. Please fix this, the hardware seems excellent, however this would be my preferable method of viewing and storing footage. Makes me wish I bought a GoPro instead...

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2016-07-31, version 1.0.3*

This software appears to be essential for managing the Stealth camera, yet it repeatedly crashes when attempting to manage its settings.  Wondering if I can get my money back for the hardware given that the essential software is seriously defective.  Given the obvious defects, so very infrequent updates is very unimpressive.

### 1/5 — Could be a lot better

*2016-04-16, version 1.0.3*

Wifi play back doesn't work, keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Slow, crash-prone, unreliable

*2016-04-16, version 1.0.3*

Takes an age to connect (6+/Stealth 2), when it does, even using the settings screen can cause it to bomb out. Live view updates its one frame one every five minutes or so, so is not in any way live. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2016-02-17, version 1.0.3*

Only way to use this program with my drift stealth 2 is not to use the app. Crash all the time

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-02-15, version 1.0.3*

Just don't bother! Connects but lags. Crashes when you try to do anything in the setting. 

Complete waste of time and space.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2016-01-12, version 1.0.3*

Giving this Ap 1 star because I guess I can't give it any less.  I have the Stealth 2 and an iPhone 5C.  When they finally connect the screen freezes and audio latency.  When you hit record the screen goes white and you can't see anything it is recording.  Rendering all functions but record useless.  I bought a camera that can't be used.  Bummer.

### 2/5 — Too Much Lag

*2015-12-21, version 1.0.3*

I was hoping this app would give a nice, smooth view of what the Drift sees so I could easily adjust it on my motorcycle and helmet. Instead there is about a 5 second lag alone with the screen glitching. I am using an ipad mini 2 and a Drift Ghost S.

I give it 2 stars since you can still use it if you hold it really still for 5 seconds. However, all the other functions fail to load and function.

### 1/5 — What now ?

*2025-04-06, version 1.1.0*

All the drift sites says I need drift 2.6 app for my old ghost hd, problem is I cannot find this app anywhere ?? HELP!!!

### 1/5 — Worse app ever

*2024-10-25*

Bought this camera years ago and was a waste of money.  Never was able to get the app to work.  Customer support has is horrible

### 1/5 — Shame

*2023-05-05, version 1.1.0*

App does not work on iPhone

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-01-16, version 1.1.0*

There’s not a lot of recent reviews so I thought I’d make one to save you time. I have the Ghost Xl and an iPhone 13 Pro. This app is not functional. While the camera itself is fine the app can not connect to the camera. It haven’t been updated in a very long time so don’t bother with the app.

### 1/5 — Utter utter crap!

*2018-09-30, version 1.1.0*

The app doesn’t work. Plain and simple. 
The live view just crashes everything. You can’t even sync a video via WiFi. 

Why can my actual Canon Digital Camera do these functions quickly and smoothly. 

It’s a shame as the cameras are actually very very good. 
Once this camera dies completely (as I’m already out of warranty) i’m probably going to buy a GoPro.

### 1/5 — DB7

*2018-06-25, version 1.1.0*

Poor app! Doesn’t load. Always crashing! 
Poor customer support.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2018-04-15, version 1.1.0*

It’s camera is not worth a crap with the app that you can’t get Hardly

### 1/5 — this is why people buy go pros

*2017-07-30, version 1.1.0*

awful

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes, and never fixed

*2016-12-29, version 1.1.0*

Unfortunately this app is always crashing on iPad and iPhone 6s, so it's not that my kit is old or out of date. It makes it so painful to use. 

I like my Ghost S except when it freezes and does not record. This is a recurring issue, not only these but just tried their new app. Same again, it crashes.

Come on Drift, sort it out. I'm now at the point of telling people don't buy drift. Such a shame as I like the other good points that are now getting lost in the negative.

### 1/5 — Better than drift app joke

*2016-12-27, version 1.1.0*

It crash every time when you connect camera through wifi poor app

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simple and effective to use

*2015-12-27, version 1.0.3*

This works really well with the stealth 2 (initially downloaded wrong up) it's simple to set up and use.

### 5/5 — Very user friendly!

*2015-03-08, version 1.0.2*

Really enjoy using the Drift Connect App with my Stealth 2 camera. Giving me the ability to change settings easily. Also great being able to save all footage to my iPhone when on the mountain and then upload to social media. Highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Ok

*2016-07-02, version 1.0.3*

It's ok but you can see/edit or delete  the time laps photos. 
Shame really coz apart from that it's great. 
Please fix it soon

### 4/5 — It works great

*2016-03-06, version 1.0.3*

It works the way it says. Configured in seconds. It let me adjust the frame prior to shoot.  Allows to configure camera settings from the app.  You can view videos stored on the camera without having to copy to the computer.

### 3/5 — Getting There

*2015-12-18, version 1.0.3*

Now they've eventually ironed out the live view from camera to phone and iPad it's a lot better. I use this at football matches behind a goal so this is a life saver for testing the view. Just need Apple Watch support and it'll be perfect.

### 3/5 — Room for improvement.

*2015-10-28, version 1.0.2*

Overall the app works, although I can't speak for other users, on the iPhone 6s Plus the live feed crashes every time I try and use it, this makes framing the video a pain as you need to record a short clip and then check it before committing to the camera position. If this is fixed then it will be 5 star.

### 3/5 — Easy to use but suffers from crashes

*2015-09-07, version 1.0.2*

That app is easy to use and connects well my phone to the camera. When trying to playback files on the phone when connected via Wi-Fi to the camera it keeps crashing. Please fix this!

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2015-06-16, version 1.0.2*

The app works as it says BUT the feed to my phone is not live! You have to move the camera then refresh the screen. Can't see a way of saving videos to my phone it self just to the local part of the app then getting them from there to anywhere else is almost impossible. Like the camera it self much more than my gopro but the gopro app is hands down way more useful than this one. Few improvements to the app to match the gopro one and I would give 5stars.

### 2/5 — Needs investment

*2016-07-27, version 1.0.3*

This goes with the stealth 2 camera which is pretty good so please spend some money and fix this app.   
The wifi connection is terrible always crashing and playback is so tedious.  If I change any settings in the app it crashes on my phone and you have to start again. 
Brutal....

### 2/5 — Drift Connect

*2016-02-14, version 1.0.3*

Poor software quality is the most obvious trait. Crashes, refusals to connect, long pinwheels while connecting and downloading give competitors with fewer features the opportunity to overtake this seemingly excellent product. It is apparent Drift has no software quality assurance efforts and does not test their product in any significant fashion. That seems to be an idiosyncrasy (hopefully a short live idiosyncrasy) of the Drift Stealth 2, which I recently purchased.
