Nightmare to Connect

My god what an absolute nightmare of an app. Been sitting in my car for 30 minutes trying to connect to my camera. Unreal how bad a dedicated app can be for the most top rated dashcams in the world. I would have bought a competing camera if I knew it would be this big of a pain to use.

Horrible experience

Don’t, just don’t. The worst app experience of the hundreds of apps I have used in the past 15 years. If you are into frustration and time wasting, then give it a go

Huge Firmware Upgrade Improvememt

I wasted way too much time trying to update the firmware on my A229Pro. After two days trying, I called support and spoke with John. He explained that I was doing the hard way and that I just needed to grab the new App. Once installed and connected, the app immediately prompted me to update the firmware, and it just happened. This is a massive improvement, especially since I never got the firmware upgraded before. I don’t feel this version is particularly intuitive, but progress has definitely been made.

Easy to connect and use

Downloaded this as a companion to my 119 mini pro and it’s very easy to use. Was able to connect to the dashcam very easily and view the live feed as well as download captured videos directly to the app. Only trouble I had was CarPlay was interfering with the connection. Once I had turned Bluetooth off though, it worked perfectly.

Halbwegs brauchbar

Sehr gut um in Ruhe alle Einstellungen vorzunehmen, die Ausrichtung der Kamera zu überprüfen oder Videos zu downloaden.

Neue Firmware wird bei meine A199 Pro zuverlässig nicht erkannt. Zudem ist die deutsche Übersetzung weit entfernt von gut.

🗑️

Ich bin von einer Frage gequält! Warum können sie die App nicht auf die Leistung überprüfen, bevor sie die APP in den App Store stellen?

Hier ist die Schlussfolgerung! Nutzlose App

Terrible user interface, terrible connectivity, CANNOT update firmware!

Terrible user interface, terrible connectivity, CANNOT update firmware!

Typical Chinese company decent hardware and atrocious software. UX is a mess, limited features and it is IMPOSSIBLE to update firmware using this app.

Works perfectly with A329T

Connecting to Wi-Fi could be a smoother less complicated process and would recommend doing firmware updates on a computer.

App Crash

Direkt nach dem verbinden der Cam stürzt die App ab und ist damit unbrauchbar (iPhone 13 mini und A139 Pro Kamera)

Why?

In short, it didn't work well for me. On popular dash cam review channels, I ask in the comments why a higher rated dash cam in reviews has a badly rated app compared to other high end dash cams. So far no responses.

Poor app

I’ve never felt the need to write a review on any of the apps I’ve placed on my iPad or my iPhone. I finally had to write it on this. Honestly, the older one worked OK. I installed this new one so that I could do OTA updates. Viofo should be embarrassed that they would put out such a poor application. I’ve tried every fix that I could find on the Internet and even head to Google AI find a couple that I did not and they all failed resolve the crashing when I try to get into the phone using the app. I’m able to connect to it, but then can’t do anything otherwise it crashes. Viofo advertises OTA updates along with being able to access the video, but sadly, this is not the case at least in my case. If I could write this less than one star I would. With the amount of cameras that they sell, you would think they could pay at least one software engineer to write a decent application

Disconnects & crashes

I should have looked at the app reviews before buying the dashcam. It disconnects and crashes a second after trying to do anything.

Cool

I’m impressed so far could be better if a small guide was in the app on how to use camera features

Totaler Müll

App stürzt sofort nach dem verbinden mit der Kamera ab. Deutsche Übersetzung ist richt schlecht, zumindest der Beteiche die ich vor dem Absturz sehen kann. Videoaufzeichnung an der Kamera lässt sich gar nicht abschalten. Wozu ist die Taste Rec gut? Die hat scheinbar keine Funktion. Menü an der Kamera nicht aufrufbar. Totaler unausgegorener Biligkram für viel Geld. Finger weg von VIOFO

Video Synthesis in Progress Problem

My App no longer gives me access to my locked photos or videos. Whenever I try to review or delete one the App says video synthesis in progress. I hit OK and it closed the App. I used to be able to open, edit, delete, and save edited versions. Now, I can’t do anything to them

App stürzt ab

Miese App. Trotz connection stürzt die App ab sobald man die Kamera auswählt.

Müll

Ich habe 10 mal versucht die Aufnahmen runterzuladen und es ging nicht
Mit der älteren Viofo App schon

Only function is crashing

I have the A139 Pro. Loaded the app, hooked it to WiFi, and every time I would connect to camera it would crash. I tried the help menu which works equally as well. It doesn’t matter what you type, it takes you to the same page 5 item suggestions that have no connection to the problem. I reinstalled the old app. Not great either but at least it works. Will be upgrading soon but will be looking for another brand.

WiFi Disconnects

Have a A329S and IPhone 15+, no matter 5ghz, 2.4ghz, disconnects while trying to play parking videos after 30 seconds. Old app works this is a POS.

Works okay with A321S.

Even lets me update firmware.
