Really? 6 yrs since update!!!!

Took a while to read that this is only for the roadc model. Wasted weeks trying to get this to work. Today Jan. 2026. They don’t care about their product. I never could even get the WiFi to be seen. Deleting.

Useless stupid app

It does not connect to my phone. I have already tried everything and it just doesn’t work. I will return this junk and get an uniden instead.

Good but really slow

It gets the job done and good yes but it is extremely and painfully slow

Pros Cons

Unable to connected with dash cam

Would not connect

Just tells me “you are not connected to a compatible network” even tho I’m definitely connected to the network the dashcam creates for you to join. Almost had to buy a new dashcam before I learned you can use a different app for these dashcams as well. I’d recommend downloading that one instead

Doesn’t support Cobra CDR900E- useless

I only need to change the time on my CDR900E and I could previously do this. The app seems to have been updated and now will not connect. With incorrect time this device cannot be used as evidence, so renders it as a dash cam as useless. A simple few lines of code to support older devices would be easy enough to keep in. Quite simply I will never buy a Cobra camera again if they can’t be bothered to support it, and I suggest anyone looking at their products also not to buy

Doesn't connect

I connect my phone to the wifi from the dashcam but the app doesn't see my dashcam.

Outdated, Poor Front End Design, No Functionality

This app is outdated, it looks like the last update was made back in 2019 according to the App Store. Not to mention, it doesn’t connect to my phone, so I have yet to be able to use part of the features promised by the cobra sc 201. Also, the front end design is poor. A lot of wasted space on buttons and little instructions on how to trouble shoot. The developers of this app needs to do some serious work for it to actually deliver on the features cobra sc 201 is promising its consumers.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work prob just steals data.

Wifi not connecting

I tried connecting with my iPhone didn’t work. With My husband Samsung didn’t work either.

The best

Cobra has always been the best and I won’t use anything else. I have one of the Roadscout radar detectors and it has saved me hundreds of dollars and it has a dashcam built into it so I don’t care what the other people say or the other companies cobra is the best for this, if this is what you want to buy they’re the best

I am unable to connect to my iPhone. Don’t buy it.

Bubby 72

It took me forever to figure it out, but my patience was worth it. Haven’t used it yet to drive but will do that today on Xmas 2022

Camera won’t connect

I spent a pretty penny on this. App needs a severe update.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work

Can not connect

I made sure it was on Camera mode. Shot I even tried on radar mode. This thing would not work at all. What a joke. Maybe it’s time to start over with your app and make one that does what it says it does

Cobra dash cam

I’m having problems connecting to my iPhone

Great Device

The camera app is all right, the radar app is not good at all. I personally if I want a video just take the memory card out and put it in my laptop.

Can’t connect to app

After trying a numerous amount of times and waiting almost over 3 weeks for customer support (which still has not emailed me back)I looked up solutions on google and couldn’t find anything. In conclusion, the radar works poorly and I would like for these features to work considering to amount of money I paid. Looking to return this item.

Does not work

Purchased a road scout and made sure it’s firmware was up to date yet I can never see the actual live view despite being connected to its network, it just times out or fails to connect
