Wifi connection is horrible

I paid a good penny for this device and if I would have known the app was this bad I would not have bought it. Fix your app!!

Terrible Blue Tooth Connectivity

It takes me a few attempts to connect to it. It just stalls once you do connect. I have not been able to see files on my phone. I cannot download the photos and videos because of that.

Wifi

I’m only reading this with two stars, because it would be nice if the Wi-Fi would stay connected. Maybe work on fixing that.🤬

Won’t download pictures

IOS 15.81 iPhone 7
WIFI connects
Will not download pictures to phone
Unusable

Horrible and Sionyx does not care!

I’ve had this Aurora Pro for a year, I have contacted tech support about how terrible the app is… still no update or response for Sionyx. Very disappointing. Sionyx needs to completely re-engineer a new app from the ground up!

Cool tech but freezes & diconnects

I wish the camera had a hardwire option

WiFi feed drops constantly

Absolutely horrible and unreliable! Can’t use it for the exact reason I purchased! Very disappointed! It’s a shame because the actual camera is very good.

Crashes CONSTANTLY. Unusable

Fix the app

The camera is great but the app is awful. I managed until the last update since then it’s been terrible

A bit troublesome but it works

On my iPhone it connects in the expected way by joining network from iPhone in network settings. Camera goes to live mode no issue. But on iPad it will not connect this way. You have to use the button in the app to add the device to the SiOnyx network. Doing it this way with Bluetooth off and airplane mode on is consistent. Not sure why it is this way but after talking to support who was very
Helpful this is the design. This app with the camera gives me the night vision I need to run my boat at night safely.

Works great in airplane mode!

Both my Aurora and Aurora Pro stream perfectly to my iPhone 12 mini with iOS 15. As long as my phone starts out in airplane mode and then I start the app and connect to the camera, it is solid.

I always make sure I have a microSD card loaded in the camera in case there’s a firmware update when I open the app. The update happens smoothly without interruption.

App crashes

App keeps crashing..? .. can’t upload videos it just crashes

Wish could give it 0 stars

Literally stays connected to wifi for 5 seconds, such an expensive camera and doesn’t stay connected to wifi, not only that it just is trash, was gonna return it but times r crazy now and wasn’t thinking about this garbage camera , free apps can do what this does....

Don’t buy product for Boating

You need a reliable live feed when boating. Unfortunately this product is not it. App drops camera feed and forces you to reconnect. Not ideal when reliability is key when on the water and you spend $400 for a product that won’t keep you safe.

They need to fix this ASAP.

Connectivity

Promised app upgrade not delivered. App won’t hold WiFi connect to camera. Useless for my implementation on the boat

Doesn’t stay connected

This is a horrible app, I hope my buddy doesn’t buy this for his boat. This app will not stay connected to the camera. Too bad, had high hopes for using for more applications. Will not recommend SiOnyx based on use with app.

Frequently Disconnects

As a private investigator I thought this would be a spectacular tool / app combo. Following directions and disconnecting from Bluetooth does nothing. App won’t stay connected longer than thirty seconds. Device is pretty good, but the app is crap. (Sionyx Pro)

Horrible connectivity issues

While impressed with device itself I cannot say the same for the app. The app and or camera will disconnect while trying to upload a video to both my iPad and iPhone. Making things worse I’ll go back to restart the process over and it will not let me. A message pops up telling me the video has been uploaded already while it’s nowhere to be found .I paid around $720 for the SiOnyx Aurora Sport and for that money the App should work without these types of issues.

Aurora app

It’s pretty bad

App is unusable

Unfortunately it’s very laggy and disconnects frequently making it unusable and unsafe for boating. Good thing for spotlights.

Save up for FLIR until they can fix these issues.
