Volvo Owners - Avoid
Avoid at all cost - complete waste of time, difficult to use, not even sure if it’s recording and never saw any footage from rear camera. Paid £500 for this from Volvo dealer - had it removed after a few weeks. Save yourself the trouble and expenses and buy a £50 one from Halfords!
Cheap rubbish
I paid £500 for this Volvo approved app and it’s not worth £50. The instructions are translated into English from Chinese and are hopeless. The SIM slot is so badly positioned that it’s unusable. And trying to download footage is a lottery,and the app crashes when trying to do so.
Very basic and poor UI
This is hard work to use, it’s not all intuitive or clear how to use basic operations. Lots of trial and error to get it to work. The video/pictures are good quality, but it’s just difficult to use/navigate. Surprised that Volvo recommend it.
Tricky but got there in the end
This is not a simple interface. I am quite literate when it comes to software and this is not great. Important to know that the app will not operate (to my knowledge) if your vpn is on. Otherwise downloads images of good quality.
Basic but does the job
This app is never going to set the pulse racing in terms of its design and functionality. Pairing up with the dashcam was simple and worked first time. There’s no bells and whistles with the app but it handles the basics of viewing and downloading camera footage well enough for me.
Not working
Paid to install it at Volvo dealership and is not showing any recordings in this app. Useless
Only records when it feels like it
Not amused after paying so much money for it to be installed at Volvo recommendation.
Front and rear.
Has been back to garage at least 4 times and still not working properly.
Will chose my own next time and not have these problems

Awful
This product is awful as is the dash cam it supports. This app feels like a beta release. Very hard to navigate, zero online support. Complaint with Volvo on going for a product not fit
for purpose.

Poor
Having had this fitted in my car at dealership I still am unable to find out how to add the camera on my iPhone. Absolutely poor product and wish I’d had Nextbase fitted cheaper!
Really poor
I am surprised that Volvo sell the dashcam with such a poor app and manual. Totally baffling to find and store dashcam video
