The searching is what you would expect from a modem gps phone app, as you type addresses pop up right away and when it does you just hit it and send to device. Done. No more typing on gps screen and then hitting search while you hope it works out. 100% the best upgrade you can do. Only 4 stars though because that’s all it does. Nothing else. No route planning, traffic, construction all need a lot of work. But as far as using it as an interface instead of the gps. Chefs kiss. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-04, version 4.28.09* I’m a Bus Driver and this is Life saving ### 5/5 — Battery Pack Capable *2026-08-01, version 4.28.09* Got it going with a USB Battery Pack, so it can be used in places other than just in my van. ### 5/5 — Garmin 47 *2026-08-01, version 4.28.09* Love the app and love my camera. The app is super user friendly and easy to use I think. ### 5/5 — Driver advantage *2026-07-31, version 4.28.09* The device benefits with camera. Activity and saves videos. ### 5/5 — Working Great!! *2026-07-28, version 4.28.09* Glad I got this for our trips. Working great. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-27, version 4.28.09* Works as advertised.

BUT I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE APP CONNECTIVITY WHEN I USE THE APP TO DOWNLOAD FOOTAGE FROM THE DASH CAM MINI 3 PLEASE FIX THE DOWNLOAD ISSUES IT IS BEYOND SLOW AND HALF THE TIME THE INTERNET FAILS TO CONNECT PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS.. ### 1/5 — Absolutely hate myself for this purchase *2026-08-30, version 4.28.14* I thought I would try to get a more “higher quality” dashcam this time and got the DC Mini3, although it’s small and I didn’t expect it to be perfect, I can’t even get a video from the thing, the app doesn’t detect my cam anymore and even when it does, it usually takes 20 minutes just to clip and export a 20 second video on data oit home wifi if it even works, because the last few times the camera connected I waited 10 minutes then it told me “export failed” and would not let me retry. ### 1/5 — Not great! *2026-08-28, version 4.28.14* It takes forever to download clips to my phone from the app, looses connection. Paid a lot of money to have the dash camera that you have a difficult time removing videos from. It’s easier just to take the memory card out and upload to a computer. ### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless *2026-08-21, version 4.28.14* I have an M4 iPad Air and an iPhone 17 Pro. This app is impossible to use. Can’t pair. Pop the sd card out if you need to get data but this app wasted every second I tried to use it. To the point I’ll never buy another garmin anything. ### 1/5 — Не могу войти в приложение *2026-08-08* Ввожу логин правильный, пароль правильный..Но, ещё они высылают код безопасности!!! Который не доходит!!!! Всё! Видеорегистратор можно выбросить!! ### 1/5 — good dashcam but terrible app *2026-08-05, version 4.28.09* I love my garmin dashcam but this app is honestly so stupid. We can’t access or watch videos unless the car is on and cam is connected, and it always says it’s connecting to wifi but it never does which means the videos won’t load. ### 1/5 — $9.99 a month fee *2026-07-30, version 4.28.09* Who tf pays $250k for dashcam and then pay $9.99 to record driving? ### 1/5 — Junk & piece of trash *2026-07-20, version 4.28.09* To slow , freezing, can’t download taken 0:30 min to download 0:45 seconds video what a joke :( and you have to try like 20-20 times in till you can download the video:((( Its showing the app its connected with camera the you click its asking to connect again then you try to download it ask to connect again then download starting then its saying its not connected:( what a joke :( and doesn’t record all the time only for somebody hit you or you hit something but in case you try to prove the police about the speeding there’s no video it’s not recording all the time what joke junky camera :((? Its just a scam off $$$$$$ ### 1/5 — Worst cam ever *2026-07-14, version 4.28.09* I regret getting rid of my yi cam for a garmin. Garmin, pease sell out to yi. I have no bout they will fix garmin issues and make the best cam ever! ### 1/5 — What happened garmin *2026-07-07, version 4.28.06* App SUCKS NOW i know you want subscriptions all paid now but this app is horrible and freezes constantly 2 days i have been trying to clear data from my DASH CAMERA i sure hope i dont need in a pinch if something BAD HAPPENS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great car, CAMERA *2026-08-28, version 4.28.14* Great car CAMERA with a lot of functions and helps also against warning of Collision. ### 5/5 — Perks *2026-08-27, version 4.28.14* This app works very well and has many perks ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-21, version 4.28.14* Excellent works great, very easy to use, would recommend ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-17, version 4.28.09* Easy and accurate ### 5/5 — Technician *2026-08-14, version 4.28.09* Working good! ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-08-14, version 4.28.09* I was looking for a dash cam with 24hr recording for my trip from California to Colorado. I purchased and returned 3 different cameras , not because of camera quality but because of the junk app. Pricey cameras with junk apps. I was about to give up on 24 hr monitoring and found this Garmin . Both the camera and the app is excellent ! I am very satisfied with this app to view the recordings and store them in the vault . ### 5/5 — Satnav awesome *2026-08-12, version 4.28.09* Just what we needed has never let us down in eu and even shows which lane in plenty of time - highly recommended ### 5/5 — GET ONE *2026-08-10, version 4.28.09* You will NOT be disappointed.
