IPhone X ### 2/5 — Pivo Play Not Working After Last Update *2023-11-17* I just updated to the latest PIVO play app, on both my iPhone and my iPad. Neither one will connect to the pod. I also have PIVO+ on both ( iPhone and iPad) and both devices are connecting fine with PIVO+. I’ve rebooted both devices several times. And, I’ve uninstalled the app and reinstalled it to no effect. Prior to the latest update, I had no problem getting the app to connect ### 2/5 — Not great tracking horses! *2023-07-17, version 2.4.0* PIVO is a great idea, but it really isn’t great tracking horses in an arena. So frustrating! ### 4/5 — 動画の削除 *2023-07-13, version 2.4.0* 概ね使えるけどギャラリーから動画が削除出来ないのは何とかして欲しいかな。 動画を選択してゴミ箱のアイコン押して削除の確認出るけど押しても反応無し。 キャンセルも反応無し。 アップデート待ってます。 ### 2/5 — Perd beaucoup trop souvent sa cible *2023-06-06* Perd bcp trop souvent sa cible. ### 3/5 — So Imperfect *2023-04-14, version 2.2.2* It does what it wants. It might track my horse for a while, then decides it’s tired and stops. The parts it gets are fine, but sometimes it’s several minutes before I notice it wasn’t tracking. ### 3/5 — Lost footage *2023-03-24, version 2.2.1* I love the Pivo pod and this app for tracking my riding, but be sure to download all of your gallery before updating the app. I just lost everything… ### 3/5 — Lässt mich nicht in Galerie runterladen *2022-12-02* Die App lässt mich Videos ständig nicht runterladen. Es sagt mir ich hätte zu wenig Speicher und zeigt an, dass das Video 4GB braucht und mein Handy 40GB frei hat. Finde den Fehler 😉 bin einfach frustriert langsam **Developer response:** Hallo! Wir helfen Ihnen gerne bei Problemen mit Ihrem Pivo Pod, damit Sie die beste Erfahrung machen können. Bitte senden Sie uns eine E-Mail an support@getpivo.com mit einigen angehängten Videos, die wir überprüfen können. ### 3/5 — Love it but having issues *2022-06-16, version 2.0.8* I used this before n never had a problem great features and awesome equipment that is versatile and easy to use. But when I try to redownload the app it does not download. But it lets me download the apps I haven’t used like studio etc. ### 4/5 — 뽀샾 *2022-05-05, version 2.0.8* 얼굴 뽀샾 편집이 됐으면 좋겠어요~^^ ### 4/5 — FPS *2022-03-04, version 2.0.7* I love that I could shoot in 4K but. How do I change it 60fps? Can we get that option? ### 2/5 — WARNING all equestrians *2022-02-28, version 2.0.7* This device is okay. Not great, just okay. I just finished a 30 min jump school and this device cannot track a moving object to save its life. I wanted to chuck it into a brick wall multiple times. Any time you pass it it will stop following you or keep turning to the point of where it’s facing away from the arena. So NOT worth the money. If you’ve got a huge ring and put the device far away you might be fine, but otherwise just dig out the extra couple hundred for the tracking devices that have armbands or the like and can actually track you and your horse. I’m so utterly disappointed because my horse tried so hard for me today and I never get any videos being a trainer, I was so excited to watch him go only to discover it captured less than 25% of my ride. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Total Garbage *2026-08-09, version 2.5.6* I’ve had my Pivo for a few years and every now and then I pull it out to see how it does and without fail it loses track of my horse IMMEDIATELY. I get minutes and minutes or just recording the arena wall or a bush. I’ve tried wearing bright colors and all that jazz to try to keep it focusing on us. It never works. Total waste of money in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Pivo *2024-06-20, version 2.5.5* I have to constantly delete and replace this app. It will stop my video and say that there isn’t enough storage. Not sure if it means my phone or the Pivo, but it’s wrong in both cases. Really frustrating. I’m on my sixth and last one. I am giving up after this. ### 1/5 — If you want something functional, buy tripod. Tripod. *2024-05-25, version 2.5.5* I needed something steady while I was talking on zoom. This is a widget for people who are in love with their face. The program is a beta, it only pivots so if you were looking for something versatile, easy to use, this is not it. They make you sign in just to use it. It’s not showing up in my account account as it should. I gotta figure out some way to send this thing back, tired of adding things to the heap of widget's they have no practical purpose, practical purpose, or they changed the way they hook up. being a beta beta, who knows how.it will end up ### 1/5 — Leider gar nicht mehr gut *2024-03-04* Ich bin wahnsinnig traurig, dass sich das System so sehr verschlechtert hat. Vor einigen Wochen dachte ich dann, ok ich kaufe ein neues Handy mit mehr Speicherplatz, dann geht es sicher wieder. Leider nein. Verliert das Pferd schnell, bricht die Aufnahme einfach ohne Grund (natürlich ab dem wichtigsten Punkt) ab oder beschließt selbstständig eine Einstellung zu verändern und es gar nicht mehr zu versuchen das Pferd zu verfolgen. Deshalb kann ich den Kauf absolut nicht mehr empfehlen. Es war wirklich mal gut, ich weiß nicht was da passiert ist.. Sehr sehr schade! ### 1/5 — No horse tracking mode *2024-01-01, version 2.5.4* No matter what I do (troubleshooting instructions done) I don’t have a horse tracking option in AI mode. ### 1/5 — Einloggen nicht möglich *2023-10-28* war immer total begeistert, aber seit drei Wochen kann ich mich nicht mehr über meinen angelegten Facebook Account in die App einloggen. Support schreibt immer wieder, es wäre ein Bug in der App, man arbeite dran, aber wann wird der endlich behoben! Nach beschissenen Erfahrungen habe ich keine Lust auf Pivo+ zurückzugreifen! Ohne App ist der Pod für mich allerdings sinnlos! 😡 ### 1/5 — No video call support *2023-09-03, version 2.5.0* After closing Pivo Cast now it is not possible to use it with video call apps like face time or whatsapp ### 1/5 — Rezension wird nicht gespeichert….?! *2023-04-11, version 2.2.2* Hatte ausführlich rezensiert… Leider funktionieren die Pivo-Apps seit Monaten nicht mehr im Sinne des Horsetrackings. Online-Reitunterricht unmöglich, Ausnahmen Zufall. Völlig unzuverlässig. Dafür massiv zu teuer! Übrigens auch bei allen meinen Bekannten, keine Ausnahme, außer jene, die nicht updaten. Weder Pivo plus noch Pivo Play. Egal welches Smartphone, egal ob genug Speicherplatz verfügbar und alles nach Anleitung gemacht. Verliert Pferd oder speichert auch nicht ab. Habe iPhone 14 Pro Max mit viel Speicherplatz. Sollte also unterstützt sein… 🤨 @ Support: Apps bitte dringend fixen!!! So keinerlei Kaufempfehlung, ist rausgeschmissenes Geld. Lieber billig-Stativ kaufen, hat man mehr von… ### 1/5 — Such a mediocre product *2023-03-19, version 2.1.3* Built on overhyped marketing, the apps and device in no way live up to the inflated price. ### 1/5 — 0 Sterne wären momentan angemessen *2022-11-15* Ich habe die App zum horse Tracking gekauft. und vor zwei Jahren funktionierte alles komischerweise auch noch. Mittlerweile verliert die Kamera das Pferd bereits nach ein bis 2 Minuten. Das ist einfach nur noch nervig und überhaupt gar nicht nutzbar weil man immer schauen muss ob man noch nicht verloren wurde. Ich werde es noch mal mit pivo plus versuchen und danach wahrscheinlich aufgeben… Sehr sehr schade die Idee ist gut. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hand / fingers tracking *2024-05-09, version 2.5.5* Can u make ai tracking for fingers for guitar players ? ### 5/5 — Pivo Play Not Working After Last Update *2023-12-11, version 2.5.3* I just updated to the latest PIVO play app, on both my iPhone and my iPad. Neither one will connect to the pod. I also have PIVO+ on both ( iPhone and iPad) and both devices are connecting fine with PIVO+. I’ve rebooted both devices several times. And, I’ve uninstalled the app and reinstalled it to no effect. Prior to the latest update, I had no problem getting the app to connect. Thanks PIVO for taking care of this problem. And thanks for keeping me informed of status. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-07-21* Un outils magnifique en tournage quotidien avec les chevaux pour des raisons de pédagogie éducative cnest ce qu’il y a de mieux 👌 ### 5/5 — Clinic lessons *2023-04-30, version 2.3.0* PIVO is an excellent tool for filming lessons from a 3 day clinic and sending them to YouTube to be available for the riders. I use an external battery to assure that neither PIVO or my phone runs out of power during the day. ### 5/5 — Pivo *2023-03-29, version 2.2.2* Pivo is a great product; I am enjoying it. My only complaint is the noise it makes when capturing your movements. ### 5/5 — Best cameraman 🙌🏾 *2022-09-07, version 2.1.1* The AI tracking is super nice and pairing this with a tripod has been super helpful with making my fitness content , highly recommend if you do filming on your own ### 5/5 — Unbelievable *2022-04-07, version 2.0.7* Not sure how I was living life without it. The Pivo is great at tracking horses and I’m having a ball putting together little shorts for my friends! It has also helped a ton with my riding. It’s very powerful to be able to put a visual to the corrections my coach is giving me. Also helps me troubleshoot what I’m doing wrong when my horse isn’t doing what I ask! ### 5/5 — Amazing app!💗 *2022-03-09, version 2.0.7* This is app is amazing I have so much fun with me I suggest getting it I do not regret getting it!💕 ### 5/5 — Brilliant Fun *2021-12-25, version 2.0.3* Love it …new today and a very handy piece of kit ### 5/5 — Getting used to Pivo *2021-12-01, version 2.0.3* Still in the process of learning about what button does what but so far I am pleased. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
