What's New in Perception

2.13.0

January 12, 2026

New in this version: • We now support telemetry data! If your TeslaCam event includes telemetry data, Perception can automatically read it & then show it during playback. All you need to do is add your event! • If your TeslaCam event includes a street name, Perception will now show it. • We've further improved app performance when viewing events. • Various bug fixes and other improvements! We've been busy behind-the-scenes making the little improvements that make Perception feel so great to use. Got a great idea? Think we've missed something you'd love? Drop us a message, we'd like to hear it! We hope you find Perception as helpful as we do!

User reviews

Lies about having a trial

App claims to have 14 days trial. In reality, no features work in the “trial” and require immediate subscription. Author seems to be confused about the meaning of “trial” vs “free version”. Basic functions like trimming don’t work (“You can't trim short events” - a minute long video). Weird and confusing UI with constant pop-ups.

Response from developer

Hey there Smak42, hope you’re well! Perception’s 14 day free trial starts when you add your first event. You don’t have to sign up, or commit to a subscription - the countdown just starts when you add the event. Basic functionality (viewer, telematics, trimming events, managing events etc) is included in this 14 day trial, but premium features aren’t included. Our trial works like this as we aren’t keen on apps that require you to immediately commit to a subscription you might then forget about - we want you to try out the app first, and see the value. You cannot trim events that are less than 3 minutes long - this is because in Perception you can only trim in 1 minute segments. This is to ensure performance on mobile is smooth as we can then keep whole video files from the original event, rather than having to split them up. If you’re having issues with Perception please reach out to support@peslostudios.com and we’ll be more than happy to help!

Misleading premium description

In the slideshow that shows you what you get for subscribing to premium, it shows the ability to export to a Combined Grid view. I subscribed explicitly for this feature. The problem is that it doesn’t exist. Once you subscribe, in the Help you can see that this is a feature they might deliver in the future (it says it will be delivered in 2024, but it’s currently April 2025).

Response from developer

Good evening Gizmotoy - I hope you're well! We can confirm this feature is available in Perception and that other Premium subscribers have been able to access it (although we do need to update the help section to confirm it's added!). After adding your events from your USB / NAS drive, open one of the events. In the top right corner of your screen, you should see the share button. Press the share button, and then the 'Combined Grid' option is displayed. With that selected, you should be able to export the event using the grid option. If after confirming you're on the latest version, and after following the above steps, you are unable to see the grid export option then please reach out to us on support@peslostudios.com and we'd be more than happy to help get this sorted for you! Best wishes, Ryan @ Perception.

App doesn’t upload from USB

Used the correct dongles and app wouldn’t load. Waste of $3 you’re better off plugging directly to your Mac. Don’t buy, don’t waste your money. Stupid app, horrible design. 100 percent flawed. I work in tech and found this app useless.

Response from developer

Hey there antanoots - I’m sorry to hear you’ve had issues with Perception! We do offer a 14 day free trial (no signup or payment required) that starts when you first add your own events, so you’re able to try out Perception without needing to pay for Premium. If you’ve chosen to pay for Premium before trying the app, please be sure to reach out to Apple for a refund! It sounds like you’ve had issues loading events from your drive - if you’re on iPhone did you use a powered dongle? If not, the drive won’t have enough power to work correctly. In the last year since our first release this is the first time we’ve heard the app totally doesn’t work for someone, and our anonymous stats show others finding value in Perception every day, so we’d love to help you out. Please reach out to support@peslostudios.com and we can sort this out. Sorry again to hear you’ve had issues!

Constant crashing

Version 2.3.0 has never opened for me. Just crashes. Tried to reinstall, restart etc. just wanted to let the developer know. All iOS is up to date.
