The app needs definite work
There are still some functions that are “in development“. And then there’s the issue with even connecting to the camera from the application. Thankfully, there seems to be a workaround that I found, I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for this camera, given the nature of the app. The only reason it gets two stars is because I found this workaround. If they ever decide to fix it, I’m happy to reevaluate the application.
As a developer this workaround is unacceptable in a finished product.
Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data (toggle to off)
Open Vmate
Power up the Vmate Camera
Select Connect the device or Device detected
Select Join to select the camera’s Wi-Fi
Allow the camera to use the iPhone’s local network
The app will alert you that the network is down, and that it is unable to check for updates
At this point you can use the App switcher to go back into Settings to re-enable Cellular Data
Then you can use the App switcher to switch back to the Vmate camera app
