### 2/5 — Not very good

*2026-05-13, version 2.6*

Not a very good app. It works but very basic. When you record a video, it doesn’t play back.

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2026-03-23, version 2.6*

You need to add more futhures to be suported by apple carplay!!!!! 
And to be able to refresh the conection!!!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2025-12-27, version 2.6*

HD quality picture. Use confidently

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-10-09, version 2.6*

I’m able to get on the WiFi but it won’t load anything.

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2025-09-27, version 2.6*

Phone recognises app and wifi connects, but get error message ‘Unable to connect’. Reloaded app several times. Don’t waste money.

### 3/5 — Works for me

*2025-06-23, version 2.5*

It works ok. I am using it on my 30ft boat as there is a blind spot immediately behind. It is just to be safer when backing away from a jetty. I am using an old iphone. The camera is powered when I start the engine, immediately grabs the phone and I can see behind.

### 1/5 — No Bueno

*2025-05-23, version 2.5*

No longer works after ios update. Seems this app is no longer supported :(

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-05-16, version 2.5*

Doesn’t work at all with iOS. Installed the camera to the car and there is literally no functionality from the app.

### 4/5 — Not to bad

*2024-10-07, version 2.4*

Video quality is good and camera seems to be fairly decent. Trying to play back videos doesn’t work the best you can’t skip around the videos

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-08-26, version 2.4*

Shouldn’t be allowed to sell this stuff. Networked shown once, entered password, iPhone could not connect. Never see network in WiFi options ever again. I will be getting a refund and buying from U.S.A or European manufacturer.
