### 1/5 — Nil stars if I could

*2024-03-01, version 1.0.9*

It's just awful, it won't connect to phone. As others have said it's a repeat repeat process. Sometimes the camera records sometimes it doesn't .. just bizarre. Wi-Fi connection between phone and camera does not happen. Customer support is not UK based., and there is no warranty.

### 1/5 — Spyware

*2024-02-29, version 1.0.9*

This app requests access to your network unnecessarily and will not function correctly until permission is granted. I believe this is in order to scan your network for vulnerable devices.

Beware and ensure you only grant access after you have disconnected from all other networks and disable network access after you have finished with the App.

Apple would not allow me to report this app despite the obvious security risks.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-01-22, version 1.0.9*

Not connecting having the same problems as the other 1 star reviews :(

### 1/5 — Barely functioning

*2024-01-21, version 1.0.9*

Dire, the app works, but only just. The UI is awful, and connecting is flaky, and only a subset of the camera settings is available—you will want to configure things on camera, not in the app. But it is useful to check what’s on a hard to access camera.

### 1/5 — Trial hunter app

*2023-10-02, version 1.0.9*

Unable to connect via Bluetooth it doesn’t find the camera, tried over days and no joy so sent the camera back for a refund to buy an alternative make.

### 1/5 — Trail Hunter

*2023-08-20, version 1.0.9*

Very frustrating, connects to Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, go back to the app and it is asking for the same thing to be done again!!. Tried it numerous times over the last few hours, always the same result. 
So at this point in time, as far as I’m concerned, it’s garbage, no stars from me if I could, but in order to post this it would seem I need to put one, so that’s all it’s getting, which is too much
