### 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

### 3/5 — Manque de navigation sur la vidéo

*2024-07-03, version 2.1.1*

L’application est bien mais pourrais être encore mieux. On ne peux pas faire avancer la vidéo rapidement, pas mettre de point d’intérêt sur une séquence et on ne peut pas couper des morceaux directement sur l’application. Il manquerait aussi d’un bon stabilisateur sur vos scopecam. Allez les développeurs, à vous de jouer 😉

### 1/5 — Cannot look through my cam footage even when I’m connected to camera.

*2024-03-12, version 2.0.8*

After reading some of the reviews I see that a lot of people are having this issue, the last update made to this app was 2 months ago, figure it out.

### 1/5 — Not enough…

*2024-02-13, version 2.0.8*

Had issues connecting, got connected, but it took forever. And the video doesn’t rotate. The functions you would want there aren’t there.

### 2/5 — Não recomendo.

*2023-11-02, version 2.0.6*

O aplicativo trava a todo momento, a scope cam corrompe os vídeos. Péssimo servico.
Pelo valor do equipamento, poderiam investir em um app designer melhor.

### 1/5 — Fix the app plzzz

*2023-09-23, version 2.0.4*

So we pay for a wifi camera for the app not to work I can’t even see the video this is soo frustrating I honestly wouldn’t have payed for the scope cam  if I knew the app was this bad

### 4/5 — Bon mais petit soucis

*2023-09-20, version 2.0.4*

Tout marche bien est c’est assez rapide malheureusement dès que je veux changer de qualité d’image l’application ce ferme toute seul

### 1/5 — Runcam 2 nach Update für mich unbrauchbar!

*2023-09-19, version 2.0.4*

Bisher war ich wirklich sehr zufrieden mit meiner Runcam 2! Videos konnte ich in 4K aufnehmen. Das geht seit dem letzten Update nicht mehr! Sobald man auf die Auswahl 4K für die Videoaufzeichnung drückt, schließt sich die gesamte App! Auch die Videoübertragung von der Runcam 2 direkt auf das Iphone funktioniert nun nicht mehr. Hier wird mir angezeigt „das Video ist zu groß, bitte verwenden sie einen Computer“ egal welche Größe das Video hat! Selbst bei Minivideos ist es nicht möglich! Das ist, wie ich finde, völliger Quatsch!!!!! Wenn ich unterwegs bin dann überspiele ich meine aufgezeichneten Videos direkt auf mein Handy damit die Runcam wieder Kapazitäten zum aufnehmen frei hat! Ich schleppe doch keinen Laptop mit! Das ist mir wirklich viel zu umständlich! Ich hoffe auf ein baldiges Update und Behebungen dieser Probleme! Ich bin mega enttäuscht!!!!😞

### 1/5 — So so.

*2023-09-17, version 2.0.4*

Works sometimes when I can get it to connect…. Will not let me record….. not too sure why this is but it is a real pain… then if it connects it will tell me “no SD card!!! Well it has worked in the past but no longer works. Thanks a lot. Stupid expensive camera and it’s more of a paper weight at this point…..

### 1/5 — 2 раза пользовался и не подключается к wifi

*2023-07-21, version 2.0.3*

2 раза пользовался и не подключается к wifi Поддержка не отвечает уже год

### 1/5 — Can’t connect because app is outdated

*2023-06-03, version 2.0.3*

Please update the app to suit current list of models as of June 2023. App is so outdated I can’t connect to new thumb cam pro W…. App also has an old look to it and the interface isn’t user friendly. There’s also not the full list of settings that can be changed on offer so you’re very limited

### 3/5 — Camera is good app is bad

*2023-02-12, version 2.0.3*

The app is so laggy and when I try to change the settings it keeps crashing

### 1/5 — App always freeze

*2023-01-25, version 2.0.3*

I bought an expensive runcam 4k cam but when connected to the app the app always freezes.

### 1/5 — Very unstable Product

*2022-10-28, version 2.0.2*

I tried using this app with the scope cam plus but the app and the camera crash way too much to be usable. Unfortunate but best to avoid.

### 1/5 — LENTA

*2022-10-23, version 2.0.2*

Aplicación lenta e inestable, termine traspasando los archivos por adaptador externo

### 1/5 — iPhone13Proios15.6.1

*2022-09-02, version 2.0.1*

全く接続しない動画見れない

### 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

### 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

### 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

### 1/5 — Cheap Chinese Junk

*2025-01-22, version 2.1.4*

Brand new out of the box with a fully charged battery and all software updated this app constantly crashes. 

The camera successfully records about 1 in 3 attempts and also constantly crashes with the battery terminal having to be removed to reset it, and the manual actually specifies how to deal with this as it happens so often. After hours of trying I’ve so far managed to have the camera operate for 15 minutes before seizing up.

Pathetic waste of money, buy a go-pro and avoid knockoff low quality garbage like this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Thumb Pro W

*2024-11-24, version 2.1.3*

Go this cam for FPV because it’s lighter than my Insta360.
This app looked promising, but the camera won’t recognize the QR code no matter what I try. Stupid way to do it anyway. No reason why they didn’t have it connect via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or even the provided usb cable to a pc to change settings.

Not being able to do that and set the shutter speed makes the camera useless to me. 
App also crashes when contacting support.
Seems like actual QA/testing was not done.
Fix the app and/or the hardware.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-09-12, version 2.1.3*

I had the same issue expressed by others on connecting to the app when I purchased two years ago. Sad to see that since then the same issues persist.

### 1/5 — Aplicativo não exibe os vídeos

*2024-07-08, version 2.1.1*

Ao conectar no Wi-Fi o app não exibe os vídeos. Fica travando o tempo todo. Os desenvolvedores e equipe de testes devem dar atenção a esse problema urgente!

### 1/5 — Fix Your App!!!

*2024-05-18, version 2.1.1*

I play airsoft and I’ve been wanting a run cam scope cam 2 4k for awhile now. I finally get one and can’t even use the app because this outdated and horrible app won’t connect to the camera. I’ve read the manual and read forums and got it to connect once and then the video preview shows purple and blur streaks that are recorded when using the apps record button. But if I don’t use the app and record from the camera I have no issues with the video. Close out the app and reopen and can’t connect the camera without issues. So how am I supposed to mess with any settings when using a broken app that won’t connect half of the time. Fix your buggy app that everyone hates and fix the UI to make it less of a hassle to actually use. Extremely disappointed

### 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!

### 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.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-08-11, version 1.9.2*

Great app

### 5/5 — I thought the app didn’t work…

*2021-07-26, version 1.9.2*

But it does!! Before you try to connect your camera to the app, you need to first connect your phone to the apps WiFi. The WiFi  is RCSC02_*****PW. Password should be 1234567890

Then go back into the app, and connect. Easy peasy! Hope this helps!!!

### 5/5 — Pretty Cool 🎥

*2021-05-26, version 1.9.1*

Got the Runcam 2. App is awesome. Dont know what the bad reviews are.

### 5/5 — Works as expected with scope cam lite

*2020-10-27, version 1.8.7*

So here’s what happened for me I bought the run cam got it in the mail download the app but it wouldn’t connect I looked and you have to click the name to change them the RunCam 4K is the one you will see at first switch to runcam scope cam lite after connecting to its WiFi.....password 1234567890 then it should connect you’re camera to adjust you’re focus unscrew the lens cap on the front of the camera not the screw the actual end then when you get to the camera adjust the hole thing left or right until it is clear. Note tot to far far right or the hole thing will come out.  Also remember to make sure the WiFi light is blue

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2020-06-29, version 1.8.5*

Функционал увеличился

### 5/5 — Amazing App! Need to add......

*2020-06-22, version 1.8.5*

It is very easy to use. No brainer!   QR scan is a great idea   I would like to add callsign/pilot name with option of turn on/off to show on screen in Runcam 5 camera for who wants to use Runcam 5 only for FPV since FCC required a callsign display on screen in FPV cam.   People will like it if add in Runcam app to QR scan to put callsign in Runcam 5 cam.  Simple and quick!  If Runcam adds in app then lot of people will be surprised and glad to use Runcam 5 as FPV and recording in same time. Thanks!
