### 1/5 — JUNK!!!!

*2026-01-07, version 2.33.1*

added support for ios26, you lied. this is the worst app I've ever used.

### 1/5 — Esta app para lo que es bueno es enojar 😡.

*2025-12-29, version 2.33.1*

No se conecta ala Dashcam segun estoy lejos, se congela, no reproduce los videos grabados.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-12-20, version 2.33.1*

Can’t even connect phone to the device with WiFi. Yalls app sucks.

### 1/5 — So bad!!

*2025-12-03, version 2.33.1*

I got a dash cam as a birthday gift, tried to connect to WiFi in all way possible but could not, the cam is good just can’t see the videos or delete them, save them out whatever I need to do, sad

### 1/5 — Bad quality

*2025-11-17, version 2.33.1*

This product is very bad. Never buy this product because you will lose your money and it is not worth it

### 1/5 — Do better

*2025-10-30, version 2.32.0*

YADA 4K, camera worked and few weeks in started having glitches. Changed MicroSD cards, no help. Reached out to “support”, 9 days later! YADA make a stable product, not junk!

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2025-10-26, version 2.32.0*

Despite my phone being connected to the dash cam wifi, the app still will not work. App is completely useless.

### 1/5 — App

*2025-10-06, version 2.32.0*

App dont work for me other then that I do like the mirror but I bought bc of the app I want an app that works for the dash cam im planning on return it back since the app not working

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-09-20, version 2.32.0*

Endless loop. Power up camera, select WiFi, enter password, select WiFi (it’s already selected) enter password….

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-09-19, version 2.32.0*

Doesn’t load photos or videos from the device like it should, inoperable app and just freezes

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-09-15, version 2.32.0*

Interferes with CarPlay so I need to manually turn off Bluetooth to connect, and then once connected only lets me change the settings. Viewing videos on the app don’t work very well, it infinitely loads. You can however press the download locally button and that works (though slow) and then you can view the video in your photos app or the local section on the app (for some reason you need to still be connected to the dashcam to view local videos). The GPS feature is also only useable in the app, can’t use the GPS in any way other than see it overlayed onto a map while viewing in the app. I got a 4K camera and while its quality is decent, it’s very noisy/grainy.

### 1/5 — very bad ):

*2025-09-09, version 2.32.0*

i was hoping the clearance sell was a steal but it turns out the camera barely works wifi feature is useless please avoid this product

### 1/5 — Clunky, outdated, and watching your every move to sell your data

*2025-09-04, version 2.32.0*

Would never have bought the camera if I knew how poorly made the app was, I also HATE that the app try’s very hard to bully you into turning on location services so it can track you. You can get around it by pressing the go to setting button when it demands you let it track you, then just come back to the app and it will let you past the pop up menus to use the app.

### 1/5 — Its not working

*2025-09-01, version 2.32.0*

Hmm

### 1/5 — Backup camera

*2025-08-30, version 2.32.0*

Hate this product. They track your location and have a hard time connecting to the camera.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-08-22, version 2.31.4*

Even connected to its wifi, the app crashes repeatedly, it’s useless. The camera gets returned tomorrow.

### 1/5 — Help

*2025-08-19, version 2.31.4*

Hello, I bought a model called RoadCam AI, I have an iPhone 16 PM, and when I start the configuration it tells me that there is an update, I try to make it and it tells me that it is not available and I can not continue with the process

### 2/5 — Dash cam

*2025-08-11, version 2.31.4*

App won’t stay connected to camera and it won’t show the location on the app on my phone .. is there a fix for this

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-07-19, version 2.30.1*

Couldn’t even connect. Returned it.

### 1/5 — Issue and problem after 6 months of used

*2025-07-17, version 2.30.1*

I had it for 6 months, it was good at first but now it’s not recording the important video like we almost got by vehicle multiple times. Apps keeps on kicking me out every time I use it. Gallery, setting etc. I hope they will the issue in the future. Im about to throw it way. Not doing what it supposed to.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App needs improvements

*2026-08-12, version 2.36.0*

Takes too many times to connect. I reset my internet connection, deleted the app and reinstalled it, restarted my IPhone 16 & still hard to connect. Not happy about this. I like the camera itself but everything else just to get it setup is very frustrating! Ask around before buying this product

### 1/5 — Don’t work don’t waste your money

*2026-06-25, version 2.35.5*

Every time I use it it’s great. But it takes forever to connect. Plus if someone calls or you pay music it stops the video. You can’t pay music and have the camera up at the same time.

### 1/5 — Poor App Reliability Makes the Dash Cam Hard to Use

*2026-06-05, version 2.34.1*

The camera itself records decent video quality, but the app is extremely unreliable.

Connecting to the camera through Wi-Fi usually takes multiple attempts (sometimes 6–7 tries before it finally connects). Once connected, trying to view videos stored on the SD card often causes the app to crash, forcing you to start the entire connection process all over again.

A major problem is that the dash cam does not reliably maintain the correct date and time. Every time the vehicle is turned off, the camera may reset its clock. The only way to correct it is by connecting to the app, but because the connection is so unstable, the recorded timestamps can end up being completely wrong.

For a dash cam, accurate date and time information is critical in the event of an accident or insurance claim. Unfortunately, the poor app performance makes this feature unreliable.

The camera hardware is acceptable, but the app experience is frustrating enough that I cannot recommend it.

### 1/5 — Connection Issues

*2026-05-23, version 2.34.1*

The app does not want to connect to the WiFi once it’s disconnected once. It’s a 10% chance of working.

### 1/5 — Round and round

*2026-05-13, version 2.34.1*

Videos continues to load and loading and you just can’t access them easily

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-05-13, version 2.34.1*

This app is bad…. Won’t update the camera to use the app!!

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS

*2026-04-07, version 2.34.1*

Grandma ran out in front of me when I was turning, checked my dash cam? It didn’t record at all. Only thing it recorded was 40 seconds of me pulling over, not the incident or anything. Not to mention the app is so weird, the camera quality is so bad and you can’t play music while connected, which is the only way to ensure it’s recording.

### 1/5 — Cannot extract video

*2026-03-31, version 2.34.1*

What’s the point of a dash cam if I can’t even pull the video? I go to the app, press download video, it loads for about 10 minutes and then stays at 100% downloaded but doesn’t go anywhere from there. And the video is not saved in my phone. This app is in desperate need of an update

### 1/5 — App Constantly Crashing – Unable to Connect to Camera

*2026-02-19, version 2.34.1*

This app is terrible. It does not work at all. Every time I connect to the camera and open the app, it immediately crashes and kicks me out. I cannot connect to the camera no matter what I do. It is completely useless right now. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.

### 1/5 — The “YADA Drive” app sucks! Also, BEON products are a waste of money…

*2026-01-09, version 2.33.1*

The camera is always too hot to the touch. The app constantly crashes. The dash can hardly ever even connects to my phone, etc. This product sucks a**, don’t bother!

### 5/5 — Not bad ignore the bad reviews

*2025-03-03, version 2.27.1*

The camera quality is decent. A little behind on the times in my opinion but the price for it was worth it. I like that I can view it on my phone. I’ll probably get another for my car. I use this in my work semi

### 5/5 — From Good camera, bad app to good camera good app.

*2025-01-01*

I have had this camera for about 4 days now and my first dealings with this app was not good. But each day things got better and better. I’m not sure what happened (maybe operator error), but with me this app has gone from 2 stars to 5 stars. I was actually thinking about returning the camera back in the store but today things changed for the better, way better. So as of today, 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2024-02-06, version 2.9.1*

Dashcam 4k pro.. the app works for me

### 5/5 — Baby Dash Cam Works For Me

*2023-05-29*

Not sure why everyone else has a problem with the Yada Camera and the App. I had no problem following the instructions and pairing my phone and camera via Wifi. I have the IPhone 11 Max Pro. The camera must be plugged into a USB port at all times via USB c. Someone mentioned in the reviews it won’t hold a charge. It isn’t meant to. Picture quality is fine.

### 5/5 — hey

*2022-06-04, version 1.2.0*

the app doesnt work ! nothing on the screen ! what a piece of crap. great job developers . ur fired

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2023-03-22*

I have no problems with the product or the app.  I have an IPhone 11pro fully updated iOS and have no issues.   I bought it to put on the back of my fuel tanker.   Works fine.

### 4/5 — We need an update please

*2021-12-14*

We need an update for the time it’s 24 no option for 12hrs 
And new look and shapes for the digital clock 
Other wise this app is so easy and beautiful to use .
Thank u and hopefully this happens soon

### 3/5 — Connection

*2025-06-19, version 2.30.1*

Won’t stay connected if not close to it

### 3/5 — App Needs Work

*2025-05-02, version 2.29.5*

The camera itself is great, but the app is absolute garbage. Can barely connect to the camera to begin with, and there's no way to use the app without reconnecting to the cameras wifi every time. Renders the app literally pointless, because you can't stay connected and use your phone since the cameras wifi doesn't have internet.

This needs to be a connection via Bluetooth, not a local wifi broadcast.

### 3/5 — Live streaming

*2025-01-24, version 2.26.0*

Product package advertised using the app connected to the camera to livestream. No such option shows in the app. Also app design looks VERY cheap and dated, circa 2007.
