### 1/5 — Connecting

*2026-01-08, version 1.1.1*

Doesn’t connect to new phones. Definitely needs updated

### 2/5 — Not good

*2025-11-18, version 1.1.1*

Haven’t had a firmware update since 2022!!! Pull it out for this season2025 and takes video but when go into app says the video is unavailable!!! Can’t download or do anything with it!!!

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2025-10-29*

No live preview, just a black screen. Nonstop connection errors which cause my camera to freeze and have to remove the battery to get it unfroze.  Thought I’d try this app because the Tactacam Wifi app won’t delete videos. A person absolutely should not need two apps to control one camera but with Tactacam you do. smh UPDATE:  Tactacam has had over a year to fix this junk worthless app. They either don’t care to or they don’t know how. Probably both.  Stay away from their junk products and even worse apps!  Another update more than another year later and they STILL HAVE NOT fixed this!  Maybe they’re too dumb to.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2025-01-27, version 1.1.1*

I can’t believe Tactacam would damage their reputation for such a bad product. Stick to trail cameras. This shot cam is an absolute piece of garbage. I can’t believe you would put your logo on this junk.

### 1/5 — Terrible, poorly thought out

*2025-01-05*

Camera shuts off at random. Video will say unavailable if you go to access it in your library. If you delete it and try to download again, it will act as if it’s still in your library and say unavailable. Shot a big deer and now have zero access to the footage. Also don’t know if this was on them or the way Apple works, but it was deleted from my library and group conversation suddenly.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with iPhone 14 or newer

*2024-11-26, version 1.1.1*

I have been back and forth with Tactacam POV customer service.  Finally they decided it was my phone model and apologized for the cameras inability to connect to newer devices.  Save yourselves the time and money.  Use a different product.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

### 1/5 — Will not connect

*2024-07-28, version 1.1.1*

My Solo Extreme will not connect to this app but it connects to the Tactacam WiFi app.

### 1/5 — connection issues

*2024-03-16, version 1.1.1*

Tactacam app will not connect to the tactacam solo extreme. It pops up the connecting screen but never connects.

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2024-03-11, version 1.1.1*

False Advertising,  the 6.0 doesn’t connect to 14 max plus . Company knows of this is for a year now! They do not care to fix or let people know of this issue! Would not have wasted my money if I known, they suggested me get a different phone , can’t when under a contract, also to take lap top with me hunting ! Unreal!!!
