Apps rubbish

Doesn’t allow change of camera password there camera security is compromised from the start

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….

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.

Не работает приложение

После обновления, приложение перестало работать

App update 5.02

No longer recognises SD card, we have two of these cameras, now both unusable.

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

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…

Don't work

Does not work with iphone17.
Seems obvious they have given up selling cameras.

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?

Doesnt work

After pairing nothing happens. “Continue” button has no reaction. Seems like its inactive

wirs

one of the worse camera
i never recomend this product

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.

Apps

The worst app i ever used it doesn’t connect to the camera and nobody answers the questions. The support team never responds.

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!

No Ghost-S Supoort

It used to support the ghost-S but this appears to have been removed for some reason. Unusable.

useless

cant connect
cannot perform live stream
tutorial video is useless

Drift app not in use

Please Delete not in use !

Terrible app

Missing files. The lead review flagged by the App Store criticises people’s problems with this app as being due to having old phones. I have a new phone and still the app loses/corrupts files after they have been identified (incorrectly) as an “event”. The camera its great, and I’ll persevere looking for a work around for better reliability.

Edit:-
Ok… I’ve switched off the event record function and the file storage and retrieval system is now working consistently. I’ve increased my star rating from one to three.
