### 1/5 — Una basura

*2026-06-20, version 2.1.6*

No funciona nada, se reinicia , se desconecta .. típica aplicación china de mala calidad no, lo siguiente … es una estafa

### 2/5 — No English option available?

*2026-04-18, version 2.1.6*

The app is completely in German without any possibility of changing the language options

### 1/5 — Funciona quando quer

*2026-03-31, version 2.1.6*

Péssima

### 1/5 — Update the app for the people

*2026-03-04, version 2.1.6*

It’s sad because this company was highly regarded for its app and cameras and now it’s just broken unless you want to drop another 200+ on a new camera. You can’t even use the live preview with the app to camera just a laggy playback feature when you record blindly fix it for the people please

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2026-01-06, version 2.1.6*

Awesome easy to use app for my Thumb Pro and Thumb 2. RunCam Rocks!!!!!

### 5/5 — Works

*2025-07-08, version 2.1.6*

Works every time. For it being an older app it’s super easy to understand how to setup stuff. I have the Runcam 5 orange, works great!

### 1/5 — Wi-Fi connection is terrible

*2025-07-06, version 2.1.6*

Horrible. Frequently (Most of the time) locks up and requires you to remove the battery on the camera to reset. How is this a product?

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-04-08, version 2.1.5*

Waste of money. Stay away from this product. Unless you like wasting your money. Customer service is pretty much non- existing

### 5/5 — Great app and cameras

*2025-03-28, version 2.1.5*

I’ve been using a Runcam 2 and a Runcam 3 for several years on my FPV quadcopters. They have taken a lot of abuse through multiple crashes and have continued to work reliably. The app is stable and very functional as it allows full configuration of the camera as well as controlling all features remotely through the app. All around a great app for some durable cameras. 🤙

### 5/5 — Appruncam

*2025-03-17, version 2.1.5*

Para visualizar los videos no es lo mejor, recomiendo extraer la tarjeta en caso de tener un celular que lo permita o visualizar los videos en Pc mediante cable.
La app fuera de lo anterior la veo muy bien, puedes configurar la captura de imagen, brillo saturación etc. además que te permite visualizar cómo quedó la imagen antes de empezar a grabar mediante conexión wi-fi, no gasta mucho espacio, y cumple con las exigencias.
