The app is very clunky and doesn’t work at all really too much trouble to worry about. I’m beginning to feel sorry that I ever bought this unit although the camera image is really good pick up your act and fix the app. ### 2/5 — Still clunky app *2025-08-06, version 1.8.1* Very disappointed in the app when the product is so robust. Uniden need to get up the developer for an upgrade NOW! The failure of the app makes it difficult to recommend the product even though as a dash cam it works so well. ### 1/5 — Deserves 0 stars *2025-07-13, version 1.8.1* 4 years I’ve had this camera and you still haven’t fixed the app! Camera quality is fine. App however is absolute garbage. For the money paid for this camera it’s not worth it. Should’ve just bought a Gator dash cam! Pulled over on the side of the road to check footage and the annoying voice says I’m “connected to Dashview application” but all it’s showing me is a black screen with the Uniden Dashview logo and I can’t select anything. Can’t review footage, can’t stop recording, can’t switch camera views. NOTHING. I’ve followed all the instructions, turned off Mobile Data, etc. Still doesn’t work. I used to sell these cameras at a retail store, glad I don’t anymore because I no longer have to have that awkward conversation of “Don’t buy Uniden, I did and it’s garbage”. ### 3/5 — Not suitable for iPhones *2025-07-06, version 1.8.1* I would say the device is good but we need to get an update for having a more easy way to connect to iPhone models. I can’t myself connect to the device, played around wasted my 3/4 hours to just connect with phone but I couldn’t. I request the developers to please give us an update for the iPhone users to let it connect easily. The only solution is to manual eject the memory card and use a card reader like old school and use in the laptop. But we have spent almost $450 not get into all this manual card reader in 2025! Please help me out ### 1/5 — Connectivity *2025-06-07, version 1.8.1* Disappointed with the app, you should be able to access it with mobile data, to access any of the features you must have mobile data off and wifi on whilst at home and connected. App needs a lot of work to improve. ### 1/5 — Unable to use app *2025-05-06, version 1.8.1* Iphone 16pro max IoS18.4.1 and i have followed all steps, downloaded new app, fully updated phone,connected to camera wifi, allowed location, allowed network, connected to camera, AND NOTHING (Saw another 1 star review i have to turn off mobile data) Tried connecting to iphone 15, ipad mini, non connected. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2025-04-23, version 1.8.1* Worst app and dash cam, won’t connect to app or camera anymore . Took to jb hifi for warranty but could not find fault, yet still doesn’t record anymore or even connect to app. Absolute garage. ### 1/5 — App is non-functional *2025-04-20, version 1.8.1* After carefully following the instructions, the dash cam app, us unable to connect to device. The advertised functionality I’ve paid for, is simply not working. After 2 hours, I can’t connect to the dash cam via the app…… I guess if an accident occurs, I’ll need to pull out the card and hopefully the accident is being recorded & the dash cam screen isn’t producing a fake recording screen ### 1/5 — Don’t buy a Uniden Dash Camera! *2025-04-19, version 1.8.1* This app doesn’t work! Whenever I go into the app and it’s connected I can’t select anything! It’s constantly disconnecting and overall just makes what was meant to be something to help me just become a pain! I wish I didn’t have this camera but I’m stuck with it and for what it cost and then to have it installed only to never be able to access the app is ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Very poor ! *2025-04-16, version 1.8.1* This app is faulty and needs a lot of work. I installed my dashcam by a professional and then followed all the instructions in formatting reseting the camera before use. But the problems started when trying to use the app. I couldn’t view my live camera and the buttons don’t work as if the app is frozen. I needed to redownload the app almost 10 times for it to work and it’s still not working well. ### 2/5 — Need to fix app issue *2025-04-16, version 1.8.1* Since the recent app update. I have not been able to properly connect to the dashview 60+. It Connects to camera, but can’t access any settings to change or even see the live view. Then no buttons work to try anything. Have to kill the app then to get out of it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-04-06, version 1.8.1* Rubbish app. Despite following the instructions to the letter, the camera will it load to network and app. Uniden, you have nothing to be proud of here. ### 1/5 — Believe the reviews *2025-03-30, version 1.8.1* The camera itself may be good but the app is terrible it worked for me at first now no longer no mater what I try seems this has been an issue for over 2 years with the reviews ### 1/5 — One of the worst dashcam apps *2025-03-20, version 1.8.1* This app is absolutely horrible to use. Won’t connect easily to the dashcam and if it does it drops out, or just completely freezes. I really cannot understand why it can’t be simple and straight forward. I just want to easily connect to my dashcam, see footage, and if there is something I need, then easily download it to my phone. That appears to be asking for the absolute impossible. The dashcam is nice and sleek but this app completely makes me regret buying a uniden cam. ### 1/5 — App does not work!! For the fantastic dash cam, deeming the purpose of the product dysfunctional. *2025-03-09, version 1.8.0* Recently purchased Uniden dash cam SR/S and paid for hardwire install. However from day one I’ve experienced nothing but issues with the app not allowing to select any functions. Not connecting unless sitting in the vehicle and car running, not the 10 metre connection as advertised. I have sent messages to Uniden for assistance but get no replies or assistance to resolve. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-01, version 1.8.0* Same as all the other reviews ### 3/5 — Just fix it *2025-02-28, version 1.8.0* Fix the dodgy app car connection for f sake ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — If I knew how bad the app was, i wouldn’t have bought this camera *2026-03-15, version 1.8.5* This is one of the worst apps that I’ve ever used. Plainly, it is unreliable. It is a burden to use. During configuration of the camera, it is common for the app to lose its connection, and you have to reconnect. Running through configuration menus requires reconnection over and over and over. Given that configuration of the camera must come from the app, this is an incredibly frustrating user experience. It has constant connection dropouts, it requires multiple changes to phone and app config in order to work. When it does work, the the connection dropouts. The app feels like something a computer science student would have submitted in a university assessment that they failed. It’s confusing that Uniden would allow this to be released alongside their camera. It doesn’t work well enough to even be a beta release. The camera itself is great - but because the app used to configure is so bad, I’ll steer clear of Uniden cameras (and other products) in the future. ### 1/5 — App needs a lot of work *2026-02-10, version 1.8.5* Unable to access any of the Settings menu or change any of the camera options because when you open settings in the iOS, the app just crashes and closes come on guys - get to work!! Currently, if you want to change any settings, you would need to connect to it using an android device change all your settings and then exit and use your iPhone for just basic functions. Clearly not acceptable. Even on android the menu system doesn’t have half the features that the user manual says it does. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2025-12-17, version 1.8.5* Will not connect 🙁 ### 1/5 — Very bad app, poor connection to download video *2025-12-13, version 1.8.5* I regret so much of buying this Uniden Dashcam. This app is ridiculous, it is very hard to keep the connection with an iPhone to download a video, mot of the time connection is lost when downloading. I have to remove the SD card and transfer using an PC or Macbook. Not recommended. ### 1/5 — Dropping out constantly *2025-12-08, version 1.8.5* The app drops out (and disconnects from cam) every time I press settings button. ### 1/5 — 60r *2025-11-30, version 1.8.3* Very unhappy cannot get pictures on my latest I phone time counting but page frozen ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2025-11-03, version 1.8.2* Takes forever to view anything on the SD card. You’d be lucky to get it within the first 10 tries. I wish I would’ve went with a different brand of dash cam. ### 1/5 — Worst dashcam app for the price of dashcam *2025-10-22, version 1.8.2* 70mai dash cam app is 5 times better and the dash cams are way cheaper. This app crashes 6 times before you can download a video. The hotspot is not string enough gets disconnected even when sitting next to it. App freezes every time you open and change something ### 1/5 — Unless *2025-09-08, version 1.8.2* Doesn’t work. Just keeps dropping out ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-09-03, version 1.8.2* The app, the device, ITS ALL USELESS! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Use common sense *2025-08-14, version 1.8.1* App works as an app should I had a UView and their app was shocking to use. Unidens app works perfectly ASLONG as you listen and read. Turn your mobile data off so you can connect to its wifi and your solid. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Works just fine *2025-06-28, version 1.8.1* As a few reviewers have noted, as long as you disable mobile data & connect just with wifi, the app works just fine! ### 5/5 — Connectivity and quality *2024-12-03, version 1.7.0* Very easy to install and connecting. Good video quality at this price segment. Worth it. ### 5/5 — Dashview camera *2024-09-03, version 1.7.0* Camera and app work great once set up correctly ### 5/5 — Works amazingly *2024-08-31, version 1.7.0* Ignore the people leaving bad reviews, they just don't know how to follow instructions, it clearly saysnin the app to turn off mobile data to access the camera's info, you are able to get a live preview of what the camera can see, as well as downloading recordings too! ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-04-20, version 1.7.0* Ios 17.4.1 works well ### 5/5 — All good with me *2023-07-23, version 1.3* Just bought this camera all set up and working perfectly, I see lots of people are having issues 😕I have a couple but easily fix , every time I want to watch a video in the car , I have to disconnect my Bluetooth from phone , which disconnects the iplayer head unit in my car as it interferes with the connection. Also memory card to get out when stuck to windscreen , camera should be remove from mount !!! ### 4/5 — Suitable *2025-12-07, version 1.8.5* I have used this app with my dash cam for 2 years now. Haven’t had any issues connecting to my camera or downloading content through the app. Nice work. ### 4/5 — App works well *2024-12-22, version 1.7.0* After reading all the other reviews, I found the app to be user-friendly and easy to navigate. I fail to understand how other users perceive this app as challenging. If you’re using this app on iOS, you connect to its own WiFi network. Then, you select the box on your Apple phone to connect as a private network, and you’re all set. The app will work perfectly as intended. ### 4/5 — Dash view cam app *2024-11-08, version 1.7.0* It does work, connect and toggle WiFi to dash network to view camera in app. Back to cellular network when done viewing. So long as the red light is flashing you’re recording, no issue (so far) with playback on SD card. Haven’t tried parking mode at this stage. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
