### 1/5 — Please remove from the App Store

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.3*

Not what you expect

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-04-07, version 1.2.3*

App won’t download

### 5/5 — Security Cameras

*2026-03-05, version 1.2.3*

I so love my camera, it works perfectly!  I purchased an LED SOLAR ATTACHED TO IT TO KEEP THE CAMERA RUNNING! The LED LIGHT MUST BE FACING DIRECTLY TO THE SUNLIGHT IN ORDER TO STAY CHARGED. I SO LOVE MY CAMERA. I HAVE A SD CARD AS WELL, that runs like clock work!

### 1/5 — Throw away garbage

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.3*

They updated the app, cameras are useless now.  Will be throwing away and going with competitor.

### 1/5 — STAY AWAY

*2026-01-15, version 1.2.3*

I have never seen such an unprofessional, incompetent, and terrible company in my life. They are awful. Neither their customer service nor their app works. Stay away. On top of that, when trying to purchase a membership, they charged my card multiple times, and since you can’t reach anyone, they are basically stealing your money.

### 1/5 — Cameras only work on desktop.

*2026-01-04, version 1.2.2*

I have tried to contact you via email 2 different addresses, doesn't work. I tried Facebook, same automatic reply, I tried website, errors on contact page. How am I supposed to ask for assistance when no cameras show up on my app to submit an issue request.

### 1/5 — Good thing gone bad 🥲

*2025-12-29, version 1.2.2*

Like the other user, this used to work flawlessly but now ads take over every time you attempt to access the cameras causing at times a 1 minute delay in viewing.  Now after app update I can’t access my cameras.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!!!!

*2025-12-28, version 1.2.2*

Customer hating, false advertising, bait and switch, rip off company. They have now forced there customers into buying there outrageous subscription fee to view your own camera on your own sd card! I cannot encourage people enough to shop elsewhere. There app is loaded with advertising a lot of times making you restart the app to make it work correctly to now having to face a angry mob of customers who own there product to waking up one day to find we can’t use our cameras no more unless we pay $200 a year now. Screw this company my cameras are going in the garbage and I join everyone else and hope they go out of business.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-12-27, version 1.2.2*

Absolute garbage app. I don’t even know where to start. The ads, the quality, not to mention the back door access they have to everything in your home and what they can see what we do. If you are thinking about buying these products please return them before you open. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.2*

I had nine of these at work and and home. They were great before the company decided it would pop up ads with nearly every action within the app. Makes the app completely worthless. I have begun replacing all my Yi cameras with another brand that doesn’t not require annoying and constant ad pop ups.
