### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit dem Ipad Pro

*2026-02-13*

Nur mit Android

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-08-02, version 4.4.10*

This app is as awful as the camera it tries to work with (dashcam 55). Unreliable. Loses connection with the camera even when the camera is plugged in.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Connect

*2025-06-12, version 4.4.10*

Followed instructions in app. Phone connected with WiFi, no connection after scan timed out.

### 1/5 — Arrependimento

*2025-05-12*

Maior arrependimento foi ter comprado essa câmera ao invés da Gopro. Camera horrível, app horrível, suporte e atendimentos da Garmim horríveis. Se pudesse daria zero estrelas.

### 1/5 — Unusuable app

*2025-05-04, version 4.4.10*

Old, broken, useless. WiFi feature doesn’t connect to the network. Cannot view dashcam videos on iphone. You have to plug the MicroSD card into a computer to retrieve your videos. Apple should remove this app from the appstore

### 3/5 — Bro this is dog water

*2025-03-14*

You can’t even use it if you don’t have a phone on iPads and tablets it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — App stopped connecting

*2025-02-04, version 4.4.10*

Connection via WiFi works, but nothing is connecting using the app when try to share the video. The keep saying hold you phone near the camera.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-09-08*

Could connect to wifi on dashcam 45 but the app then didn’t detect it. 

Looks like I’m stuck getting the SD card out for now

### 5/5 — Hmmm what do you know about that.

*2024-05-01, version 4.4.10*

Ya’ll just got to be smarter than what ya’ll work’n with.

### 1/5 — Stay away from GARMIN

*2024-04-10, version 4.4.10*

This is a spy software demanding access and control your tablet and network.
Old versions were fine: a tool to access the camera but not this.
