### 2/5 — 毎回毎回

*2025-09-02*

中々Wi-Fiに繋がらない。

### 3/5 — Instructions lacking

*2025-07-21, version 4.2.3*

Instructions lack specificity (step by step) to connect unit to phone.

### 3/5 — Keine update

*2025-06-25*

Warum gibt’s keine Update?Ich benutze es seit ca.7 Jahren und seit dem keine Updates.

### 4/5 — Used to work great

*2025-04-29*

Ive had this camera for about five years and i love the layout of the app, that you can see a map and the speed of the vehicle during the video clip on playback. However, we were involved in an accident today and i downloaded the video to the local files, then tried to save the video to my phone to share, which it used to do fine. Now it says it saved successfully, but its nowhere on my phone. I guess since they stopped making the dash cam, theyre going to stop updating and supporting the app also. Lame. Makes ya never want to buy anything electronic anymore when it works great still but the company doesnt support it.

### 3/5 — Worked well for a while.

*2023-11-27*

I’ve been using this product for almost 4 years. It worked well for a while. I was able to connect my phone and pull videos from cam to phone over the WiFi function. 
That ability no longer works. I’ve checked for updates and the app says it’s good. But, if I need to download a video clip, I have to pop out the card and insert it into my PC. 
At least it still records and functions mostly well.

### 3/5 — Gut und schlecht

*2023-09-12*

Die Bilder die diese Kamera liefert sind gut!
Das sie aber hinter der Autoscheibe geschmolzen ist und wir selbst die Speicherkarte nicht mehr heraus bekamen, ist schlecht!

### 4/5 — Recommended

*2023-03-31, version 4.2.3*

The only issue I see so far is the video pauses while using app or trying to download a video other then that no issues with this device.

### 1/5 — Unable to connect with iPhone

*2022-10-01, version 4.2.3*

This app won’t connect to my roav cam c1. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2022-08-19, version 4.2.0*

My phone connected to camera wifi but the app doesn’t work even I reset camera, delete app and reinstall it again !!!  It doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Cannot export

*2022-07-01, version 4.2.0*

App only allows export to YouTube or Facebook. However when trying to do this Google says this App is blocked (for YouTube) and Facebook says something similar. 
If at least it allowed an export to phone that would be useful, but so. 
So whilst you can view the footage you can do nothing with it! 
Useless.

### 1/5 — Kein Zugriff auf Dashcam

*2022-06-16*

Keine Unterstützung für den Zugriff auf das Lokale Netzwerk. App kann nicht verwendet werden da kein Zugriff auf Dashcam möglich. Und das trotz Updade auf iOS15. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — HATE THIS

*2026-06-17, version 4.2.3*

The hardest app to use ever. Can’t even download without connecting to the roav “wifi” and even when you are it doesn’t work. USELESS

### 1/5 — App has never been able to connect to my dashcam

*2025-11-08, version 4.2.3*

I’ve had this dash cam for over a year and I have never been able to connect the dash cam to the app. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded multiple times, I’ve chatted with customer service, I’ve reformatted the dash cam multiple times—nothing works!!!! I will once in a blue moon be able to connect to the ROAV WiFi, but when I go back to the app, it does nothing. Next steps do not pop up for me to add the dash cam. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Worst DashCam and app

*2025-02-07, version 4.2.3*

Spent nearly three hours trying to download a single 60 seconds video that somehow requires more memory than a 45 minute TV show. What’s the point of having a DashCam if you can’t see anything??? The people who made this should be in jail for fraud

### 1/5 — Truong Vuong

*2025-01-23, version 4.2.3*

App doesn’t work at all, dash cam wifi connects to the phone yet the app can not add the cam device at all.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-07-10, version 4.2.3*

App won’t connect to the cam when my phone is connected to the cam via WiFi, therefore the app is entirely useless as is the WiFi feature of the cam.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2024-06-22, version 4.2.3*

this. does not work. I wasted my money on this nonsense. she let me down at the most critical moment.

### 1/5 — Plus de connection

*2024-02-26*

Impossible de se connecter depuis une mise à jour iOS

### 1/5 — Died after 3 years of using

*2023-11-03, version 4.2.3*

Pros:
The cam quality as a “hardware” - Good. 

Cons:
The cam suddenly stopped recording. 
Impossible to Clear SD Card, since the cam just stuck with “Processing” and nothing happening for hours. 
Turning On/Off didn’t help. 
GPS - unable to connect. 
WiFi - phone stopped to see it. Manual connection didn’t work either. 

Results:
Eventually, I gave up of trying to figure out what happened to it, just ejected SD card, removed it  from the windshield and dropped it off at recycling center. 
I Deleted Roav app and don’t think I will come back to them.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2023-02-09, version 4.2.3*

Still can’t connect wit the wifi. Fix it.

Accident visual is missing every time .

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-04-04, version 4.2.3*

Been using for more than 5years now without a single issue.. app and the camera both

### 5/5 — Reliably functional

*2024-06-01, version 4.2.3*

Very happy with the cameras and very happy with the app. 
The app is simple, user friendly, and reliably functional. Haven’t experienced any glitchy behavior.  Definitely not one of those cheap knock off brands that promise everything and deliver on nothing. 

The Roav DashCam AO camera is the best for the money. My favorite feature is the wifi. Access all the videos on your phone, on the fly, in the car, etc.  Watch, download, lock videos so they don’t get written over. Got this for my wife. She drives a lot for work and this is perfect for her. User friendly, great resolution,  30fps, wide angle, Emergency recording & parking guard, etc

Highly recommend👍👍

### 5/5 — Cámara

*2024-05-11, version 4.2.3*

Esta cámara para carro es de lo mejor ya tengo más de tres años usándola y está funcionando bien aparte que podes ver los videos en tu teléfono

### 5/5 — Saver

*2023-02-17, version 4.2.3*

I have had my Roav for around three years now. This unit may not be the best, but for what I use it for, it's great. This unit has saved me some cash by recording what's in front and behind me.I highly recommend this unit on a tight budget

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2023-01-12, version 4.2.3*

Excelente,aplicación después de varios años de usarla tanto la cámara como la aplicación exelente nada de fallo y fácil de configurar

### 5/5 — Good DashCam

*2022-07-06*

I have been using it for the past 4-5 years and it was a good decision to choose this camera

### 5/5 — Greattt

*2022-06-13, version 4.2.0*

Love it save and a lot of krazy videos and saved me a lot too

### 5/5 — Love

*2022-05-11, version 4.2.0*

I love this DashCam

### 5/5 — As a Truck Driver I rely on a dash camera

*2022-04-16*

I was once falsely accused of driving recklessly and aggressive in December 2015.  My supervisor was able to pin down the day, time and location of my “supposed” infraction.  He reviewed the 3 minutes of video and determined I had done NOTHING WRONG!
Since then I have not been without a DashCam.  I have tried at least 5 styles by different manufacturers.  This ROAV C2 PRO and the app that can be downloaded to a cellphone is my top pick.  #1
I’ve captured video that helped others!!!  One which determined who ran a red light.  Domestic violence in a parking lot.  
And a streaker in a parking lot. 
For myself my ROAVC2PRO helps me be a more focused driver. A better driver. Because I know my speed and direction traveled is being recorded and displayed on playback. 
I don’t want to be the one at fault. 
At the push of a button the previous 10 seconds of an incident and 30 seconds after the button was pushed, will be saved has EMERGENCY recording.  This featured has allowed me to share many videos of drivers making bad decisions with company Safety Departments. 
This C2PRO has very clear picture. Zoom in and pan more left or right while watching video back. Audio can also be recorded. Easy to install and mounts using suction cup.
Saving and Downloading specific items to your cellphone gallery is easy.  Viewing and Deleting unwanted items also easily done from phone app or the dash-cam itself.

### 5/5 — App is working

*2021-11-28, version 4.1.0*

I have the old model of ROAV A1 for a few years and the DashCam is still working. It had some issues here and there, but I am pleased to see the DashCam is still working. The app seems working fine, and it is used to be sluggish a bit.
