### 1/5 — Not happy bunny!

*2026-08-17, version 2025.4.12*

I’ve got a 322GW and have downloaded both Nextbase apps but still can’t get footage to my I- phone 15.

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-16, version 2025.4.12*

Dash cam and app are fine. I do understand though how frustrating it is to connect the dash cam to the app. I suggest taking the dash cam into your house and put both WiFi and blue tooth on and connect the dash cam to a charger and wire so it’s on all the time, it’ll take 10 seconds to connect to the app, it’s worked for me.

### 1/5 — Terrible app connectivity

*2026-08-11, version 2025.4.12*

Cameras are great but the app is exceptionally poor. Fails to connect to camera and takes ages to download anything, if it ever gets that far. I wouldn’t recommend this company.

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2026-08-09, version 2025.4.12*

Absolutely nightmare disconnected not going to connect it after have to reset the camera delete the app and reinstall it again You still hard work that’s a shame. Chinese product are better and much costless.

### 1/5 — Good camera useless app

*2026-08-09, version 2025.4.12*

The camera itself does what it needs to but the app is useless for downloading onto the phone. It takes me up to 40 mins sometimes to get one video and the rest of the time I give up, horrendous app….. nextbase need to do better!!!

### 2/5 — Road Safety Club freezes my camera

*2026-08-07, version 2025.4.12*

When Road Safety Club is ON my camera not working constantly freeze and overheat.
When Road Safety Club os OFF everything works perfectly fine no overheating no freezes

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-08-07, version 2025.4.12*

Unquestionably the worst app on the App Store. It’s is impossible to use, you cannot connect to the dash cam with it, so to summarise don’t bother with nextbase, 
Use a different company altogether

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-08-06, version 2025.4.12*

I love Nextbase cameras, but the app is shocking. You’re better off trying to just connect the SD card to your laptop to get footage off. Nextbase really need to improve this app!

### 2/5 — Slow

*2026-07-30, version 2025.4.12*

Downloading Files are extremely slow and it keeps on failing to update to the latest software. Yes I do have connection full Wi-Fi service and mobile service service

### 1/5 — Useless - fix it nextbase

*2026-07-27, version 2025.4.12*

Never shows latest recordings, always weeks or months out of date - even if the recordings are perfectly accessible from the SD card or on the camera directly.
