### 1/5 — Shame on you SMOVE

*2024-10-07, version 1.0.14*

I was so excited when I got this SMOVE MOBILE gimbal for Christmas... .. . It worked for about 2 days and all of a sudden it just started glitching BAD... .. . Twisting and turning so forcefully my mounted iPhone flew right off. Seeing that I am not the only one that has experienced a hardship with this product; maybe we can start a petition and get reimbursement +. 
What do you you think SMOVE?

### 1/5 — The app is not working

*2023-01-09, version 1.0.14*

The app does not sync with the gimble. The feature that follows the face or object also does not work.

### 1/5 — Crashing all the time, not worth it.

*2022-11-26, version 1.0.14*

The SMOVE Gimbal and App would always crash. No updates have been made from this company to fix issues. Unable to contact anyone from this company. 

Recommend not to buy this Gimbal and don’t download this App. It’ll be a waste of money for the Gimbal and waste of time/space using their App that always crashes.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-11-04, version 1.0.14*

This product has failed me every time I use it the gimbal will malfunction or the app will crash.

I want a refund!!

### 1/5 — If you just purchased your smove

*2022-09-07, version 1.0.14*

send it back now before it’s too late. this company is a scam the products don’t work and there’s going to be a class action lawsuit on the way. just peruse through the fb group smove users and support. not 1 person in there has a working smove and the page had to be created bc there’s no customer service. don’t make the mistake thousands of us already did.

### 1/5 — The Continuously Crashing App

*2022-02-03, version 1.0.14*

I love the hardware of the Smove mobile gimble. What I don’t love is the absolute trash status of the app and the absolute lack of customer service. Have tried multiple times to contact the company, have NEVER heard back from them. The app crashes whenever I hit ‘stop record’. And lord help me if I want to do a firmware or keypad update. Because they always time out. If you’re thinking about the Smove Mobile, don’t. Buy from someone that cares about their customers.

### 1/5 — Face follow doesn’t work. No customer support

*2021-10-10, version 1.0.14*

I’ve had the same issue with face and object follow not working for YEARS. Watched every single tutorial online, no help. Smove customer support doesn’t exist. Face follow is the whole point of the smove. Do not waste your money on this terrible product. It won’t work

### 1/5 — It’s a shiiiiiitt app

*2021-05-29, version 1.0.14*

I never used an app like that, it’s the worst ever. You guys that built this shiiiittt should be fired.

### 1/5 — Piece of Garbage

*2021-04-23, version 1.0.14*

Reading the other reviews I’m glad I’m not the only one having major issues trying to get this thing to work. I’ve tried probably 25 times to get it to work right. The thing loses its mind and shakes uncontrollably and is impossible to use for the simplest things. I’m so unhappy with my purchase, the hardware almost works right, the software almost never does. Do not buy this product.

### 1/5 — Worse app to date

*2021-01-06, version 1.0.14*

This is absolutely the worse photo/video app I’ve ever used.  The panorama feature does not work.  The time lapse video works...sometimes!  The gimbal Bluetooth disconnected in the middle of a time lapse video, which stopped the movement of the video but didn’t stop the recording.  The app sometimes tells me that the gimbal is not connected via Bluetooth although it is.  This is also the worse app as far as intuitive use of it.  So many flaws!!!!
