One thing I’d like to see fixed is when viewing a video from the phone (in full screen) it does not properly enter full screen so the bar at the bottom of the iPhone used for home/navigation actions gets in the way of seeking in the video. I’d love to see this get addressed ### 4/5 — App works and free *2025-08-10, version 1.3.8* This is the primary app I used for my Focuway Duo4 4K dash cam. Once you enabled the wifi on your dash cam and it’s very easy to connected no issues. It works great but could be improved better that’s why give 4 stars. Downloading 4K video with 3 minutes looping is over 650 MB which could take over 1 minutes to download. So I changed the 4K recording to 1 minute looping and it’s much faster to download. Great app for dash cam for free! ### 4/5 — Very useful *2025-06-02, version 1.3.7* Used many times. Specifically with Focuway cams. Going to use it today after some idiot threatened and verbally assaulted staff at a drs office i was at. It can offload decently right to the phone with full quality and allows quick access via wifi when a sd adapter or tablet/pc is not available to access. I can access both dash cams i have (one front w/ gps and inside cam, another non gps but fromt and rear 24/7 ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2025-05-12, version 1.3.7* Won’t hook up to my Wi-Fi and trying for days tried customer support no response ### 1/5 — Can’t connect *2025-04-07, version 1.3.7* Can’t get it to connect to the dashcam. Hopefully I can use the sd card and download to my Computer? ### 3/5 — 5 star ! Be warned *2025-03-25, version 1.3.7* Picture great whilst driving ? Downside is you need to be really close to your car for iiwecar to Connect with your Phone for night mode parking ! For that 2 stars nocking of ? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2025-02-10, version 1.3.7* Will only work on an iphone 7. Keeps saying connect to wifi when it is connected to wifi. Fix your app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-01-09, version 1.3.7* Wouldn’t even let me add my device. ### 1/5 — Chinese junk! *2024-11-06, version 1.3.7* I agree with the other review regarding “ can’t connect with the camera”. I also connected once with the camera but can no longer get reconnected… stuck in a loop saying I need to connect with the WiFi! What a joke! ### 1/5 — Useless! *2024-10-30, version 1.3.7* Gets caught in an endless loop and never gives access to settings or anything at all. Had to do all the set up manually on the actual dashcam… this app is a total waste of time! I wish so much it would have worked! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect *2024-10-07, version 1.3.7* Worked great for about 3 months then all of a sudden, NOTHING!!! Constant loop. I’ve deleted the WiFi as well as the app hoping once reinstalled it would work but it hasn’t. ### 4/5 — Functions Satisfactorily *2024-09-23, version 1.3.7* I use this application with my Focuway D2-DUO dash cam. It is installed on an iPhone X using i.O.S. 16. I have not encountered any difficulties while utilizing the app. My phone links easily to the dash cam's wi-fi, and once connected, the application allows me to access recorded footage, change settings, etc. The only issue I've come across is when playing back recorded videos. As the video plays, a map which shows the car's location (optional G.P.S. feature) is displayed. Despite adjusting the units to m.p.h., the map still expresses my car's speed in k.p.h. This is more of a nuisance than a genuine problem. Overall, I feel that this application performs as advertised and is a suitable companion to my Focuway dash cam. ### 1/5 — Dash cam *2024-09-11, version 1.3.7* App very slow connect timing very slow I thik not good for car ### 1/5 — Installed but won’t accept any password to set up. *2024-07-28, version 1.3.5* Cannot create an account will not accept any combination of password attempts. ### 1/5 — App crashes instantly *2024-07-26, version 1.3.5* App keeps closing instantly. What a garbage app and waste of money on a cam. ### 2/5 — Wi-Fi *2024-07-07, version 1.3.5* Have to keep reconnecting to WiFi doesn’t automatically connect also camera doesn’t go in to park mode . ### 1/5 — Useless *2024-06-20, version 1.3.5* I connected to the camera after the initial installation without problem. That was the ONLY time I connected. Caught in a constant loop. Connect to the recorders wifi only to get a message saying I need to connect to the wifi. Cannot access the camera to change setting or review and save footage. The support information in the app is garbage as well. Complete waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Not able to link the cam *2024-06-16, version 1.3.5* I’ve tried several times to connect. Airplane mode, only cam Wi-Fi, relaunching the app, adding the cam, etc. what’s the point of an app for the cam if it won’t connect. ### 1/5 — 👎🏻 *2024-06-09, version 1.3.5* Impossible de la synchroniser ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect properly *2026-08-04, version 1.4.1* Support system doesn’t work properly it never loads I’ve been having problems ! ### 1/5 — No improvement in 3+ years *2026-08-03, version 1.4.1* For an company that this is the only way that you connect to the Dash cams, the app is horrible. You have to stay on the app to finish downloading any video that you need to download… has horrible connectivity issues If you aren’t connected to the dash cam, it says Wi-Fi not connected and then it forcibly takes you out of the app to a random setting screen that’s not the Wi-Fi screen, which makes no sense. Right now, I just had to delete it and re-download it again because it had a problem where it was showing the screen was loading, but it would stay loading even though it shows the camera recording in the background. It just wouldn’t actually get to the proper screen. I have had the dash cam for over three years and still been having issues like that ### 1/5 — Don’t buy i’ve had the damn camera for a year and still haven’t been able to use it. It doesn’t conn *2026-07-20, version 1.4.1* Won’t hook up to my Wi-Fi and trying for days tried customer support no response ### 1/5 — T5288a cam *2026-03-26, version 1.4.1* The app it’s not displaying the settings option anymore , it’s black out. Can’t change any settings anymore. ??? ### 1/5 — Dash cam won’t connect to app *2026-02-22, version 1.4.0* No matter what I try, the dash cam won’t connect to my mobile ### 1/5 — No good *2026-02-04, version 1.4.0* Worked fine for a few months then nothing, won’t even connect!! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-11-06, version 1.3.9* App just stopped allowing me to view or download recordings. Making the dashcam totally useless ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-10-18, version 1.3.9* App is crashing and not working at all. ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-06-19, version 1.3.7* This app is out of date and has been updated, but not on Apple app store still old version And the company do not seem concerned about it at all Therefore my cam is being returned ### 1/5 — Not functional with IOS 18.5 *2025-05-13, version 1.3.7* Upon updating my iPhone 13 to IOS 18.5, my OKCAR dash cam (FOCUWAY-D2- DUOaf9f) is not functioning. What gives??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great camera *2025-06-29, version 1.3.7* I use this for my 97 jdm cresta for the front and rear. The app was easy to use like most security cameras you’d buy on Amazon, it works the same way. When choosing a micro usb drive, get the 1tb. It will last you up to 1-2 years of storage. For me it’s worth it, insurance companies are unforgiving, and I love to be right. ### 5/5 — Works and is easy to use. *2023-11-20, version 1.3.2* Had no problem setting it up, the manual explains it and what to do to set your phone up, just had to turn my wifi off and on my oh ok me for it to show the network. Much better than my old BlackVue camera app. ### 5/5 — Good App *2023-08-23, version 1.2.9* I bought the camera with high ratings. When I got to downloading the app I got so disappointed with the reviews as I thought it may not work. I downloaded the app and it does exactly as what it should do and I have had no problem so far. TBH it is even more user friendly then my previous dash cam app. ### 5/5 — it works *2023-08-23* easy to use, camera quality is very good! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-06-05, version 1.2.4* Works as it should. ### 5/5 — It worked for me *2023-06-05, version 1.2.4* Installed the app. Turned on the vehicle. Changed my phone's Wi-Fi to the dash cam. Opened the app. Found the camera. Completed setup very easily. No issues so far. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-03-14, version 1.2.0* Good App ### 5/5 — Easy Setup *2023-02-27, version 1.1.9* Easy setup with simple instructions. No complaints so far. Not sure what’s up with all the negative reviews. ### 5/5 — Works great as advertised *2022-12-31, version 1.1.8* I received this as a gift for Christmas. I was a little concerned after reading the one and only review for this app so far but I opened the box, followed the directions, and it works perfectly fine. There are many steps and they must be followed in precise order, all of the functions seem to work so far, I am happy with it. ### 5/5 — Good *2022-11-17, version 1.1.6* Connect T5 at first time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
