Intermittently works. Not straight forward. Have to be standing next to camera for any success. Camera itself works decent. ### 1/5 — DESTRUCTIVE app *2022-12-04* App froze leaving game cam in active Wi-Fi mode. Drained batteries on cam in less than 12 hours. App wrote hundreds (thousands?) of “Venari” albums in iPhone photos. I’m still working on deleting them one by one. This is in addition to the privacy violations noted in other review. Do NOT install as no good can be gained from the app. Game cam works without Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. ### 1/5 — Scam and Poor quality *2022-11-28, version 2.3* Batteries died every time after a week of use. The camera would not put trail camera pictures on my SD card. The app would not work half the time. Buy a well known, reputable camera instead of a cheap, foreign scam. ### 1/5 — VENARI *2022-11-19, version 2.3* Pointless app. It’s a shame, I only got the VENARI camera because I could download the images to my phone as advertised. With this app you are unable to download your images. My phone is an IPhone 12 ### 1/5 — Absolutely useless *2022-10-29, version 2.3* I’m not sure about the camera I purchased, but I can say this app is horrible. I can’t even get anything from the settings function. It is worse than useless. ### 1/5 — Review *2022-08-02, version 2.1* Absolutely worthless app. Only works 10% of the time! Requires location for some unknown reason! I do not recommend this app! ### 1/5 — Junk *2022-06-01, version 2.1* Good Kamera but the ist crap! Nothing works. Unstable and Crashes ### 1/5 — 损坏的应用程序 Privacy violation. *2022-05-23, version 2.0* Scam. The app wants full access to all photos on phone and iCloud. Violates privacy. Also it needs access to local network. That is 2nd privacy violation. Also, the Wi-Fi doesn’t work. There is no Bluetooth switch in app. App needs Bluetooth to turn on Wi-Fi. Also it wants precise GPS location when not needed. It wants precise GPS location just to connect to your wifi 损坏的应用程序和隐私错误。 wifi 不工作。 此外，该应用程序想要访问 iPhone 上的所有照片。 （假期照片和家庭照片）。 第二个错误。 无法开启蓝牙。 应用程序中没有蓝牙开关。 wifi需要蓝牙 ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-04-24, version 1.6* The app is not intuitive. One would think that the manufacturer would look at their reviews and get a clue. Maybe put a YouTube video on that shows the steps. Nope. That makes too much sense. ### 1/5 — Trail cam app *2021-12-30, version 1.5* Crap unable to download picture or video pointless ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-12-25, version 1.5* Got this trail cam for x-más that required this app. The app wouldn’t connect to my Bluetooth on my phone. Taking camera back. After reading other reviews I guess it’s no surprise. If I could give zero stars I would I’m that disappointed ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2021-12-18, version 1.5* Doesn’t connect at all, making the trail cam completely worthless. DO NOT BUY a trail cam that needs this app to work, because IT DOESN'T. returning immediately ### 1/5 — Worthless *2021-11-25, version 1.5* This doesn’t even connect to the Wi-Fi because of some stupid glitch I’m sending back JUNK! Do Not Buy! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-16, version 1.5* The app rarely works. Doesn’t connect to the camera. Wish I had seen the other reviews before purchasing this camera. It’s worthless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-11-10, version 1.5* Very disappointed. Bought a camera that directs to this app for remote control and download of camera. Cannot look at or pull photos or videos off camera from IPhone. And I’m tech savvy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A Joke *2026-02-13, version 2.4* What is the point of this app? Don’t bother downloading it, as you’ll only get frustrated. ### 1/5 — Corrupted ALL my iPhone photos *2024-03-23, version 2.4* When I tried to download my photos via wifi this VENARI App created 20,000 (literally 20,000) folders in my iPhotos album all called VENARI. It was impossible to delete the folders. Do not give this app Access to your photos. It corrupts the file structure. ### 1/5 — 困っています。 *2023-12-21, version 2.4* 無数のアルバムを勝手に作成されました。消しても作成され困っています。どうやって消せば良いですか？ ### 1/5 — ウィルスです、注意してください。 *2023-12-20, version 2.4* 削除しきれないアルバムが作成され、容量がかなり喰われます。どうしてくれんのコレ ### 1/5 — Created over 1250 photo albums! *2023-12-15, version 2.4* This app created over 1250 photo albums, each named "VENARI". What absolute stupidity. This app should be banned. DO NOT INSTALL! ### 1/5 — Creates hundreds of albums *2023-12-11* Creates hundreds of albums in my photos. What absolute stupidity. This app should be banned. DO NOT INSTALL! ### 1/5 — 無数の「アルバム」を勝手に作成される *2023-10-14, version 2.4* 表記の通りです。 ### 1/5 — this app is crap!!! don’t install *2023-05-30* i had 300 folders added to my photos app. Don’t install it crap. it should be just 1foldrr not the hundreds it made. total crap. if i could report it to Apple iphones i would ### 1/5 — Venality app *2023-03-01, version 2.4* Rubbish app Bought camera to use blue tooth and wi Fi It failed Camera will go back ### 1/5 — Never works. Never *2023-01-23* A totally useless app, just like the camera. Utter rubbish. Avoid at all costs. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Oops, operator error *2022-05-17, version 1.9* So, turns out the app update coincided with the batteries dying in the camera (after 3 months of use, not bad), so what I thought was a connection issue introduced by the update turns out to have been the dead batteries. The app and the camera work great now. Unloading pics via WIFI is easy if not particularly quick. Videos seem not to download to the camera roll as the stills do, and they’re unplayable in the app. So when the stills make it look like I’ve caught something interesting it’s time to go grab the SD card and do a manual transfer of the videos. Not a big deal but I would love if that was the next thing the developer tackled. (Review updated and rating raised appropriately). ### 4/5 — Seems to work just fine. *2021-12-27, version 1.5* Tests in the house are good. Local wifi was easy to connect to. We will see how the photo quality and over durability work out in the field. App is intuitive. Not quite as easy as our browning but since I understand that I know what I’m looking for here. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
