### 2/5 — Latest update app video no longer works

*2016-11-13, version 3.0*

The app worked great until this latest update. After installing update, app connects to camera but no longer shows video on app rendering it useless. Bummer

### 3/5 — Good,but could be better

*2016-09-08, version 2.8*

Made it for ipad

### 1/5 — No save to camera roll!? WTF

*2016-09-04, version 2.8*

As this seems to be the replacement Camera Access app for the other SJCam app, this is seriously poor. After spending an age to download vids to the app, you can't save to Camera Roll but only forced to socially share on certain services that I don't care for!  Not only that, you can't delete the vids from the app storage thus taking up space you can't free up. 
Worst usability in a media device app I've used. Really not happy.

### 1/5 — Menüführung SJ Versatile Cameras

*2016-08-03, version 2.8*

Leider funktioniert die App nicht, da die Menüführung nicht, wie angezeigt in Englisch zur Verfügung steht. Wenn man die App startet, wird alles in chinesischer Sprache dargestellt.
