Once that was done the connection seems ok. Took a king time to work it out though. Haven’t had to do this for any other app before. ### 1/5 — No Support For Accolade 38. *2021-11-16, version 4.6.2* Pays your money. Pulsar takes a dump on you! ### 1/5 — Pulsar App *2021-09-02, version 4.5.6* Very disappointing app, bought the accolades two and it drops out all the time and very poor picture quality when watching live! ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs and pretty much nothing works. *2021-08-11, version 4.5.6* Could not connect my iPhone X to my helion XP Pro. iPad Pro did connect but apart from updating firmware nothing works properly. The setup icons do not match the descriptions. The thermal viewing does not work at all. Except for updating firmware the app has no other use. ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2021-07-22, version 4.5.6* Why do we pay all this money for the app to not work with pulsar xm30s total rubbish and zero help After reading more reviews of over 2 years ago and still not sorted I will be sending back the pulsar and buying another make. Do you read your reviews ?…….what customer service ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-07-22, version 4.5.6* Clearly this app is not fit for purpose, I’ve been on multiple shooting forums and everyone has given up on it. Mine connects to my device for a few minutes then disconnects and will not connect again... Pulsar make amazing scopes but the Stream Vision app is less than useless... ### 1/5 — Can't connect at all with Wi-Fi *2021-06-23, version 4.5.6* My thermal imaging equipment model is Axion XQ38，It's often interrupted in Wi-Fi connections using this software. Wi-Fi cannot be used at all after the firmware update. ### 2/5 — Pulsar trail Xp50 *2021-06-12, version 4.5.6* Ive had my pulsar for goin on 3 yrs and still yet to ever get it to link up via WiFi or even add my trail device. My axion Xm 38 works flawlessly Trail always says cannot connect to this device or when I put in my password it always says incorrect ### 1/5 — Junk App *2021-06-01, version 4.5.6* Have yet to be able to download any videos. You’d figure that a company that charges $4k+ for their thermals would have an app that would work. On a 10mb video it’ll download to 5mb, stop the “lose connection”. ### 1/5 — Thermion xg50 *2021-05-31, version 4.5.6* I have only been able to get the xg50 to connect 3 times and when i go to download video connection is lost then i cannot reconnect to streamvision. I have tried all your instructions. I once had the photon rt and never had an issue. Please help with my concerns. Thanks ### 1/5 — Constantly looses connection with thermal *2021-05-30, version 4.5.6* This constantly looses connection and I have never been able to download a single video using stream vision for my Pulsar Thermion. ### 1/5 — App is terrible *2021-05-15, version 4.5.5* The functionality of the app is so hit and miss makes me question if I’ll go with pulsar again in the future. Their scopes and other products seem to be great but they really need to get their app figured out. They’re only response is contact their support. Either developed a new app or find someone that’s capable of fixing the one you’ve got. ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-05-05, version 4.5.5* The app connection keeps dropping out takes forever to connect, constantly turning off devices and back on just for it to work sometimes. Took 12 odd hours to finally keep connected to update firmware, still can’t transfer pictures/videos from scope to ANY Apple product . Absolute TRASH. ### 1/5 — Great Thermal Scope - Terrible App *2021-04-25, version 4.5.5* The app disconnects constantly and has zero value. I can't even download a photo or video. Terrible app. Apparently this is a known and common issue. ### 1/5 — Connection issues *2021-04-19, version 4.5.5* Paid 6K for an XG50 and have spent countless hours wasting time with this awful app....I have the exact issues that everyone else here and online have mentioned.....it’s a total disgrace....awful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Since updating to iOS 17 my pulsar device will not connect to the app. *2023-11-11, version 4.6.3* Since updating to iOS my pulsar device willl not connect to app ### 1/5 — Don’t buy PULSAR *2023-04-13, version 4.6.3* Based on my experience don’t buy PULSAR just because how bad this app is! Contacting pulsar support is just as useless as the APP. Same generic response from folks at pulsar who is running Pulsar Joe Biden? ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-02-17, version 4.6.3* Does not work…. Period. Significant lags make it useless. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-02-17, version 4.6.3* It used to be ok but image freezes after a few moments. Useless. A new version is long overdue now. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2023-02-11, version 4.6.3* So, tried for hours and simply can’t get it to connect with my Helion XQ50F. Pulsar make decent (if very expensive) products but this app really isn’t fit for purpose. And no contact details to give any guidance on what I might be able to do to fix it. I’ve also tried the ‘2’ version but that says my model isn’t supported. All very tedious. ### 1/5 — Completely Unreliable *2023-01-07, version 4.6.3* I spend half the night trying to connect to this awful app. It’s more of an art than a science. By far the most frustrating app I have on my phone and the most annoying aspect of thermal hunting for me. ### 1/5 — Absolute junk *2022-11-27, version 4.6.3* Complete waste of time. Significant lag. Unstable, will not hold connection for more than a few minutes. I have tried with multiple devices. The app is junk. I will never buy pulsar again. ### 1/5 — Still Not Connecting - XM30S *2022-10-24, version 4.6.3* Following on from the reviews that are a year old now, the app is still terrible and will not connect to my XM30S spotter. There have been multiple people all around the world reporting this poorly performing app not just me, and there has been absolutely nothing done about it! I am attempting to return the spotter as I cannot use it to its full range of features and therefore it is not fit for purpose. ### 1/5 — Why even try? *2022-10-17, version 4.6.3* If you have not bought a pulsar yet, don’t. Optic is fine This app is garbage and no work around. Pulsar clearly does not care. ### 1/5 — This used to work *2022-07-10, version 4.6.3* My Helion 50 will not work with this app anymore. That’s a bummer since this thing was a lot a few years ago. The app used to work but no more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — XP38 *2022-02-01* It provides “jerky” and stuttering performance when paired with our XP38 to the extent that it is unusable for video viewing. Much better when paired with the XQ50 Cheers Sam **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We regret you have issues with Stream Vision App. Please contact support@pulsar-nv.com to advise more details about your issue to have it solved. ### 5/5 — Thermal scope *2021-12-23, version 4.6.2* Amazing bit of kit works really well ### 5/5 — Great app from a great brand *2020-12-25, version 4.4.2* Great app! Had some issues but an email later to the developers that updated the app real quick and things work as they should! Good stuff. ### 5/5 — I phone problem *2020-11-20, version 4.4.2* I like it but I phone seems to have problems ### 5/5 — So far so good *2020-03-08, version 4.3.1* Not sure what the issues are with others, but my XR and IPAD pro have connected just fine. I like how easy it was to update my Axion and Thermion. Way to go and never stop improving your products! That is what brought me here from FLIR... ### 5/5 — Most reliable device app I have tested *2018-10-10, version 3.1.5* I sell digital night vision and thermal devices, of the different products I sell, StreamVision is by far the smoothest and most reliable. I run demos at shows 8-9 hours at a time with outstanding performance. ### 5/5 — Brilliant on the night vision scope *2017-10-09, version 2.5.0* Very good on the Rifle use my night scope an use this stream vision on my iPhone ### 4/5 — Free, I’ll take it! *2019-12-19, version 4.2.0* The reason I downloaded this was to keep another set of eyes on what the scope was seeing using my phone and being able to adjust all the scope settings on the phone was also a perk, also it was FREE. On average I use this app 3-4 times a week for several hours each time and had only one night it kept loosing single to scope, I blame the phone,scope and the app just as equally but the scope can still do its thing and you can upload pics and video later. ### 4/5 — Fine addition to my night vision scope! *2019-04-07, version 4.0.0* This app was recommended by the manufacturer of a night vision scope I recently purchased. All the features described in the app worked as advertised. An excellent way to control the many features of this Sight Mark Photon RT scope! ### 3/5 — Xq38 review *2022-01-09, version 4.6.2* Awesome product, when it stays connected to the scope. Better wi-fi connection would get it up to five stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
