App issues

There are a few issues with the app.
When replaying videos from the camera, the delete and share button are on top of each other.

I also can’t stream video from my brand-new Drift Ghost XL Pro.

This app does not work at all.

This app does not work at all. Impossible to see videos if the camera is not connected with my phone.

Response from developer

We're sorry this has been confusing. Videos stored on the camera's SD card require a connection to the camera's Wi-Fi to access them. Download the videos to your phone while connected; the downloaded copies can then be viewed offline in the app's local library, or exported to Photos. If videos already downloaded to your phone still will not play, please email developer@driftinnovation.com with your iPhone model, iOS version and a screenshot so we can investigate that separately.

Live video feed to iPhone.

I have never had any trouble with the previous version of the app. But now I can’t see on my iPhone what the camera is seeing. The app has changed. Did you dump this feature? Are you going to fix this?
I purchased this camera for work, and it worked fine with that previous version, but
now it’s useless!

Garbage app

The worst user experience I’ve ever had… cameras are okay, but the app to control the camera, navigate through it, and view your footage is absolutely horrible!
DO NOT recommend….

Response from developer

We're sorry the app has made controlling the camera and viewing footage so frustrating. We have submitted version 5.0.5 with improvements to camera connections, live preview and the download interface; it is currently awaiting App Store review. Please try the update when it becomes available. If a particular action still fails or is difficult to use, email developer@driftinnovation.com with your camera and iPhone models and the steps involved. Specific examples help us address the parts of the app that are getting in your way.

Good hardware / poor software

The download feature on the camera seems to be broken. I should be able to select and download a video as I want but it seems to want to do that to all videos on the SD card. It’s painfully slow and the date stamp keeps going completely wrong. Shame, as the camera itself is good and has very good battery life.

Finally update for iPhone 17 pro

iPhone 17 pro would not connect to Ghost XL. New update does and I can change settings and format memory card but cannot see live streaming nor saved videos. Submitting support request online didn’t work so resorted to review again

Response from developer

We're sorry that live preview and recorded videos still fail even though camera controls work, and that the support form did not let you reach us. Version 5.0.5 is awaiting App Store review and includes a fix for a Wi-Fi routing issue affecting live preview on some iPhones. Please try it when available and allow Local Network access for Drift Life. If either issue remains, email developer@driftinnovation.com with your camera firmware, iOS version and a diagnostic report from the app. This will help us investigate preview and file access separately. There is no need to format your card to collect this information.

Finally an update for iPhone 17 Pro

Support responded to my review that I could not connect to my Ghost XL with my iPhone 17 Pro. They finally updated the app. I downloaded the update and I can connect to the camera and change settings and format the memory card which was my biggest concern.  
But I cannot see the video with this latest app I just see the spinning wheel. I also cannot see any saved videos.

I tried the Support page at Drift but it doesn’t submit…

Complicated

Unnecessarily complicated. Headache to set up, tiny screen that’s unreadable, too many functions that nobody will ever use. Haven’t they heard the term user friendly?

Great hardware, Ropey software.

The Drift cameras are brilliant in terms of hardware. However, the firmware and the app leave a lot to be desired. I don’t use Drift Life any more because it alters some of the settings on the camera without my knowledge. For example, after I have connected Drift Life to the camera, the camera exits HDR mode and resets to 1080p the next time I turn the camera on. Similarly, Drift Life will alter the FOV setting from 140 degrees to 90 degrees the next time I turn the camera on. I find it much less hassle to use the native menu on the camera.

Connecting issues

Brand new camera. Won’t connect to my iPhone. Last two cameras I had did to the older app. So I’ve wasted my money. Don’t buy.

Great app but not for iOS 26

After initial setup I’ve been mainly using this to format the camera until now. It doesn’t connect with iOS 26. And appears the developer has left. So don’t get rid of your old phone!
