### 3/5 — Mode basket

*2026-02-04*

Il faudrait un mode basket qui se focus sur la ball et pas que sur un joueur ou qui peut suivre plusieurs personnes en même temps

### 3/5 — Record audio from background music feature

*2026-01-26, version 1.18.3*

IOS18 now supports audio playback which allows videos to be recorded with audio from a running music app like apple music and spotify.  Need this to record dance videos with better audio quality

### 4/5 — 피보팟 클래식

*2025-12-29, version 1.18.1*

이번에 새로사서 승마할때 쓰는데 딱 나만 잡는게 아니어서 아쉽습니다. 말이 여러 마리가 있으면 누구든 지나가는대로 잡아서… 센서같은걸로 서로 연결이 돼 있어서 어떤 상황에서도 나만 잡을수있으면 좋겠습니다.

### 2/5 — Unreliable!

*2025-10-28, version 1.16.8*

This is the most unreliable app I have. Randomly stops recording 1 out of 3 rides, so 17mins into a 1hr ride it quits. No alerts, no sign it’s still following me around. No other apps on, DND set. I’d give it a 1 if it wasn’t for the fact that when it does bother to work it’s great.

### 1/5 — Bad horse tracking

*2025-09-15, version 1.16.4*

Doesn’t track the horse smoothly. Starts to jump left-right like if it doesn’t see the horse, but still keeps the horse in the view field. Worked great before but last times the videos were absolutely useful and hard to watch. Not sure why it happened, why it started to glitch so bad. It never fell, always carefully used, updated to the latest version. Btw the thing that says it can lock on a certain horse and track it regardless any others horses in the arena - doesn’t work at all too. Tried on IPhone XR and 14pro.

### 2/5 — Missed half my ride

*2025-08-24, version 1.16.3*

Super annoying to go to watch my video only to find that the Pivo spent half the time filming the wall. It seems to lose me and my horse when we get close to it. It’s so bad that now when I’m riding, instead of focusing on training, I’m constantly checking and looking to make sure it’s tracking me. Very frustrating as it’s supposed to be a training aid, and help, not be a detractor and source of frustration.

### 1/5 — Constant chronic issues

*2025-05-08, version 1.15.0*

My review is to mention that the PIVO tracking device is very unreliable. Three out of five times that I use it something goes wrong. The most current issue is that the movie I recorded won’t play. I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I spoke with an Apple advisor to help figure this problem out. We did several different things to resolve the problem. It was determined that while the movie is being filmed and or saved there are bugs happening in that process. Which actually makes a lot of sense. Because the ability to watch a training session after riding, my horse is so unreliable.

### 3/5 — Review

*2025-05-04, version 1.15.0*

Loses track of horse very easily

### 3/5 — When it works it’s great!

*2025-03-04*

Terrible app. Use this every ride (4x a week) Not sure what updates they’ve made, but app shut down 3 separate times this week while trying to record rides. Phone is charged, Pivo is 99% — until they fix it, I would not recommend you waste the $250.

### 1/5 — doesn’t connect to ZOOM

*2025-02-06, version 1.14.9*

I got this for my virtual horse lessons, in order to connect to it with ZOOM you have to bring your ENTIRE computer out to the arena with you. They left this little detail out when I purchased this $300 device. Inconvenient, totally not practical for horse owners.

### 1/5 — Big deal

*2025-01-14, version 1.14.6*

I can’t get this app to do anything but follow me and record what I’m doing. 

When is this app gonna allow me to stream live to multiple platforms?

### 3/5 — Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

*2024-12-06, version 1.14.4*

I like the Pivo if it actually worked all the time. Sometimes it shuts off. Sometimes it doesn’t track. Sometimes when we begin in tracks then stops in the middle of the lesson. Sometimes I can hear sometimes I cannot. My first Pivo worked great (until it didn’t) this one I have had nothing but trouble with.

### 2/5 — Echt schlecht die App

*2024-12-01*

Habe das Pivo Silver zum ersten mal benutzt… die App ist eine Katastrophe! Schlechteste App die ich je hatte. 
Download dauert unglaublich lange!!! Nach Anzeige des akkustands (20  %) wird das Video abgebrochen. 

Es muss definitiv was an der App geändert werden!

### 1/5 — Subscription scam

*2024-11-21, version 1.14.3*

Features that were free when I bought the device are now locked behind a subscription. Without a subscription, Lessons will time out, meaning you have to get off your horse and restart a new lesson if you want to continue longer than 1 hour. There was no time limit for lessons prior to this recent update. App is buggy; it often loses track my horse in corners of the arena meaning my trainer misses parts of my ride. I’ve had better luck using FaceTime. Horse people have enough monthly expenses, I do not recommend adding this one.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor tracking

*2026-09-04, version 1.20.6*

Tracking is really weak when more than 1 horse is in the ring. It takes the one in the front. Disappointed for that price.

### 1/5 — Consistently Unreliable

*2026-08-04, version 1.20.5*

As both a coach and a student, the only thing I can count on Pivo for is to be difficult. As a student, I’ve lost out on several lessons I paid for, spending the entire time trying to troubleshoot why it wasn’t working. And on the flip side as a coach I’ve lost countless hours dealing with tech issues that I reimburse my students for. For a paid subscription to work so incredibly badly and have zero tech support is abysmal. I requested a refund for my subscription this month after the last lesson failure, only to be told they would “give me a free month after the fix has been found”. Given that these issues have gone on for as long as I’ve been using Pivo, that’s about as empty a promise as one could possibly make.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old app

*2026-06-23, version 1.20.2*

Nothing but issues anymore.  Ive used pivo for years and a year ago bought a new one and downloaded the new apps and I have YET to be able to actually video a ride.  Glitchy af.  Loses tracking, doesn't save, constant errors.

### 1/5 — Inoperable Horse Tracking

*2026-05-29, version 1.20.1*

The horse tracking doesn’t work at all. It won’t even lock on to one. I have to use the “pet” feature. So far none of my rides have been recorded because of how awful the tracking is.

### 1/5 — Poor Video Quality

*2026-04-17, version 1.20.0*

The Pivo does not track smoothly during lessons as advertised. Paid subscription does not help. This device and app are essentially useless for taking lessons. Their support team has not been helpful.

### 1/5 — No Zoom Webcam option?

*2026-03-16, version 1.19.1*

Why is the webcam option no longer available? The app is useless to me without it.

### 1/5 — Entäuscht

*2026-02-01*

Leider kaum zu gebrauchen. Die Verfolgung ist eher Zufall.

### 1/5 — アップデートしたら動作が変

*2025-11-22, version 1.17.1*

1.7.0及び1.7.1にアップデートしたらhorse tracking modeが変になりました。馬は認識できているがpivoが右に左に動き続けてめちゃくちゃ酔います。
iPhone6sはサポートしてない？以前のバージョンは全く問題無しでした。

### 1/5 — only 30 fps

*2025-10-26*

only 30 fps, not possibility for slow motion -> only 1x star

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-11, version 1.16.7*

It seems like Pivo is only getting worse overtime, not better. I am consistently the only horse in my ring and it still gets stuck on who knows what, tracking maybe 5% of my ride and in such a jolty way you’d think I was riding through an earth quake. Why not align the device with the remote? Then riders can pocket the remote and it’s so much more guaranteed to track appropriately. I’m ready to throw in the towel with Pivo.

### 5/5 — Tracey Lawson

*2026-07-07, version 1.20.3*

Pivo Track is just brilliant. I encourage all my clients to buy a Pivo robotic camera so they can watch back their videos of themselves to help them improve and we do live lessons that are just mind blowingly brilliant. Thankyou Pivo!

### 5/5 — F

*2026-07-01, version 1.20.2*

A

### 5/5 — The best tracking system I have used for my UGC creations .

*2026-06-04, version 1.20.1*

The PIVO is the easiest tracking device I’ve used. I love it, and I use it daily for all of my postings.

### 5/5 — Constantly improving

*2026-04-11, version 1.20.0*

I have owned pivo for more than 5 years and the software is improving. honestly price performance is incomparable to other alternatives. Best thing I bought.

### 5/5 — When you are trying to video , error message comes up and you don’t get a video

*2026-03-17, version 1.19.1*

Why oh why can you not fix the error message , no internet connection when you are jus trying to do a video and you don’t need any internet connection?  We just want our video . Don’t send an error message so we don’t get a video.  Also when there is 20 percent battery left on the phone and the low battery message comes up the video is also stopped.  You need to fix both problems !  No more error messages popping up ruining videos 🤬

### 5/5 — Amazing Device

*2025-07-06, version 1.16.0*

The Pivo device is a game changer!  Really enjoying my device so far, great technology and great customer service! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — 좋은 선택

*2024-11-11, version 1.14.2*

만족스럽습니다.

### 5/5 — Support

*2024-10-21, version 1.14.1*

I bought the camera about two years ago, but I can no longer seem to find an app that will allow me to connect my phone to the camera. Why?

### 5/5 — Your equipment is amazing. Hanshi Deena Naidu

*2024-09-05, version 1.13.1*

I love it. Thank you for this amazing equipment.

### 5/5 — Great Recording Tool

*2024-08-22, version 1.13.1*

Easy to use and follows me and my horse like a charm!
