It’s a trick Do Not download

Do not use this app. It is a trick. They tell you that it is better with the new app and that once you use the new app you can no longer use the old one. It is not until after you pass this point that they tell you the new app does not work unless you give it permission to always view your location even when you’re not using the app. This is not acceptable.

Horrible app

Not only can I not seem to reliably load my footage now half the features just sit there “loading” and also the app wants always on location settings. I mean I know they could get that data from the camera but they don’t need ALWAYS ON access to my location when I’m not driving…. You should be allowed to only need the location when the app is open.

Edit: the dev responded. As far as I’m aware there are no features you would forcibly need an ALWAYS ON location just to access footage. This is a nonsense response unless they actually outline why.

Response from developer

We hear you on location access! The permissions requested are needed for the app's core features to work. If footage and features keep getting stuck on "loading", please contact our support team with screenshots and we'll help get it sorted.

1 Star seems too high

As a driving instructor I rely on my dash cam as a teaching aid on almost an hourly basis. After being invited to update the firmware now being forced to use this app not the connect app I can sat this app is almost useless. Clunky to connect to devices, slow to refresh media and the playback functionality is terrible too. No zoom on playback, no ability to scrub through the video files. Currently looking for new hardware as the software is so terrible

Could be a lot better

For the price you pay for their cameras, the app could reflect this. Connecting is very slow, trying to view and download a video clip is another matter. Most of the time I give up and don’t bother as it is so slow or most of the time it just doesn’t work. Very poor.

Still many flaws

I’m hoping this is just because the app is new, but even trying to view a single clip was a hassle. I know the old app had its flaws, but so far this is significantly worse.. Not saying I have an SD card, refresh app, then failing to load the video, refresh app, then loading the video but only showing me the first 1/3rd.. I gave up

Response from developer

Viewing a clip should be quick and easy! Please contact our support team with screenshots of the "no SD card" message and the video that only partly loads, and we'll look into it for you.
