Update the app
The app is extremely basic, it should have an updated version, it’s been 8 years since the release. The camera do the work, but the app it should complemented.
App barely works
This app is… pretty terrible. If you don’t force close the app it will crash the next time you open it. It won’t download any more than 7 images from the camera. When it does download images from the camera the thumbnails are wrong. Honestly really considering returning this camera since the wifi is touted as being such a big feature…

Does not connect to the app at all
Is a nice feature if it would work.
It actually works. Here’s how
This review has been edited after contacting seek support and performing troubleshooting steps.
This application hasn’t been updated in 4 years and I imagine since then Apple has added the ability for apps to use cellular connectivity when Wi-Fi does not have an internet connection.
So this app does absolutely nothing without turning off two settings on your phone.
First, I updated the firmware of my camera to the latest version.
Then I performed the following steps as directed by the support team at Seek.
1. went into my phone’s settings and turned off cellular data for SeekView.
2. Disabled wi-fi assist inside settings > cellular.
After these steps when I connected to the SeekView Wi-Fi and first launched the app, it told me that cellular data is turned off. Instead of going to settings, I clicked OK. The app crashed at first, but on relaunch, there was no prompt and the live view and photo download were working.
However, I was still unable to download an mp4 file shot on the camera. Attempting to view that file caused the app to crash. So the app definitely has some rough edges, but it works.
