Extremely Subpar
This is my first dash cam so I can’t be certain if all of them are like this, but VIOFO makes it extremely difficult to download any videos. They take a ridiculous amount of time to download a 3 minute video and then, once you’re nearly done downloading it, the dash cam automatically disconnects. It’s very unfriendly to users and this problem alone will make me choose another dash cam. Very disappointing considering that VIOFO fails at doing the one thing it’s supposed to do. Buy elsewhere.

Poor design
Can’t download any videos because the cam turns itself off while downloading. I made sure it was powered the whole time as well. Stupid
Near perfect
Not sure what other people complained about, I’m not all that tech savvy, But it worked fantastic for me.
Seems to work great
Just got my A229 installed today and loaded the app to adjust the settings. My first impressions are all very positive. I was able to adjust everything I needed once I learned the wifi connection process, which was pretty easy. Overall the app seems to do everything I need it to do!
OLD VERSION! BROKEN GARBAGE!
DO NOT INSTAL!
Junk
Set up instructions simply do not work. The app is incredibly poorly designed.
Cannot access sd card via wifi on iOS app. Only works on android app.
Cannot access files on sd card after spending 10 minutes connecting to the wifi. Had to use my old android in order to access sd card via wifi.
DOES NOT WORK AT ALL
The app renders my dashcam USELESS unless I take out the SD card to get the footage off of it. Every single time I’ve tried to use it for the past YEAR+ it has not worked. When I open the app it says “connect camera” and then tells me to give it access to wifi/cell data in settings, so it opens my settings where it ALREADY HAS PERMISSIONS, and then as soon as I switch back to this app it goes back to the “connect camera” page. There is literally no way to get it to work

Works flawlessly
Skill issue folks?
Works for Viofo 139Pro
I downloaded this app in order to use my Viofo 139Pro dashcam. Although the app is not titled Viofo “Dashcam,” it shows dashcam illustrations in its description. This app appears to be an older app, but it does support the Viofo 139Pro, and works quite well with it.
An improvement over previous app but not perfect
The app makes it easier to connect to dash cam WiFi (no need to jump back in forth in WiFi settings). However no matter what I tried the app failed to apply firmware update.
For me copying firmware update bin file to freshly formatted microSD card using my Mac computer is what ultimately worked to update firmware.
If they could improve this part it would have been 5 stars

This app is very "glichy"..some days it will connect with no problem MOST times it doesn't connect...been trying for a month to get into the app to format disk but it doesn't connect no matter what I do...camera "great"...App SUCK!!!
1 Star – App is unreliable and makes the dash cam frustrating to use
The Viofo app has been extremely disappointing, especially considering the cost of the dash cam. At first, I was able to connect to my A329S, but even then it was inconsistent. The app would often show nothing but a black screen instead of the live view, and the WiFi connection would randomly drop for no reason.
Now it’s gotten worse. My A329S won’t connect to the app at all. I’ve tried all the basics, including deleting and reinstalling the app, and it still refuses to connect.
For a dash cam in this price range, you’d expect a smooth, reliable app experience. Instead, the app feels unstable and unfinished, which takes away from what could otherwise be a solid product.
Until the app is fixed, it’s hard to recommend this system.

Difficult to use
Trying to connect and access files is hit and miss and once a connection is made, it will not disconnect and resume recording and all buttons on camera are inoperable until you unplug the camera, wait and plug back in.
Great app, easy to use
The app is great and easy to use! No crashes whatsoever and video quality is supreme. One thing that would make it a 5* star app would be to allow configuring the camera to connect to a known Wi-Fi such as when you’re at home, so that the app can be used from home Wi-Fi
Stops showing live feed when connected to iphone
I have the T130 which used to work. The last year The app does not show the live feed when you connect iPhone14.
It is recording but no live feed even after i downloaded firmware their website

Supposedly good dashcam NOT!
One of the worst apps I have ever seen, connects then disconnects and have to go through set up over and over again to be stuck in a setup loop that never allow you to actually get into the app, major stuff up buying this dash cam don’t do it get something else
Pretty much renders the camera useless
Takes forever to view/download videos should you get in an accident. Camera routinely disconnects mid download, and takes forever just to look at footage, never mind download. Huge waste of money
Terrible app
It never wants to connect with my camera. It connects, then immediately disconnects on its own. CS says i must not have to right firmware. I have the latest. It’s just a POS app. Thankfully, the recording capabilities are great though. Just dont expect to retrieve the videos to your phone. You’ll need to take them off the SD card to your computer.

Horrible app, great cameras
Constant Wifi issues is just the start. It's clear to see where all the money goes into developing the cameras because there's absolutely no money being invested in developing this app. Such a great camera ruined by horrible tech. Get it together.
