BlackVue Legacy App Reviews

Very lousy app

1. Time zone is extremely hard to find! The order is so not organized 2. Always asks for password to connect wifi! Come on! Cant it remember password? 3. There is no GPS setting. My GPS led wont light up so far 4. Can only connect to one phone at a time. When one phone is connected, the other phone is not able to connect, at all! So stupid 5. Once connected to wifi, it is just a wifi exclusively for the camera, then you cant use LTE network to surf Internet. Because it always tried to use the camera wifi to connect the Internet. I mean, how stupid is that? Cant you mark that this is only "camera wifi", not "regular wifi"?? I mean, how hard can it be? 6. The app interface design is not professional.

Need improvements

The live view screen isnt displayed in full 16:9 format, shows black frame on both sides of video. As well the frame rate is terrible, either of live video or recording. (I didnt see this on older version). Not sure if its problem only on 650gw or rest of the products have same issue.

Cant view recorded videos

Can view live camera front and back. But cant see any old recordings. It just sits there and spins. If you tap a & hold a dialog box asks if you want to download, and if you select "yes", the app crashes. On iOS 8.4.

Broken after last firmware

Updated to firmware 2.0 and now the app wont let me access the blackvue. I assume this is because this iOS app hasnt been updated yet, but a warning in the firmware description would have been nice.

Update firmware breaks it, no iOS 9 support

Purchased Blackvue for the cloud features. I update the firmware and can no longer use app on iOS. No warning at all. Small print on website says iOS coming soon. Not happy. Update this app soon and I will give 5 stars.

New update wont work with iPhone

Just got my blackvue 2ch 650 installed on October 30th. Was working great for a few hours until I updated the firmware to the latest 2.0. Now it says cannot find blackvue while connected to wifi. Works fine when I play whats on the mini sd card on my computer, but my blackvue and my iPhone cannot communicate with each other. Makes it hard to dial in the position of my camera without seeing a live view from my phone. This was an expensive purchase. Please fix your issues for IOS users.

Every update more successful bugs

Updated today to the latest firmware 2.0.0 iPhone wont connect any more to the camera, Besides that Im getting crazy every time using there app and pc software Asking all the time for wifi password inconvenient interface touch and such a messy app, configuration is so complicated Its a shame for this company to have such a good product and such a bad software

Camera is great but FW update breaks the app

As soon as I updated the FW of my 650 2ch to the latest FW, it killed my app! Please update your app! Update 11.04: wrote to developer, and they state an update should be forthcoming via the App Store. In the meantime, you can downgrade the FW- I just did. I suggest downloading the desktop software and setting up the FW before installing. Poor rollout on the developer, but the camera system is excellent and their email response time was less than 12 hrs!

Incredibly poor everything...

You designed a decent dashcam and effed up the app... Great job slackers. My mom could design and develop a better app... Wifi wont connect b/c I cant be around other networks, its incredibly frustrating, the UI is literally the worst thing Ive ever seen. If this app is any indication of your products, Ill expect the dashcam to catch on fire and my car to burn to the ground.

it does not work??

I just got the camera DR650GE 2ch and the app is not able to connect to it? whats going?

DONT do FIRMWARE

2.0 upgrade doesnt allow iPhone to connect. Others said it here first, unfortunately I confirmed it today (11/6). Device looses a lot of capability if not connectable to a phone. Poor delivery on this one. Will change to 4-5 stars IF they get it fixed. 11/22: still no update to fix this problem. I emailed them, their recommendation.... Return the product. Bought from Costco, so I might just do that. They gave zero indication (or hope) that a fix is slated. The company is based out of Korea, wondering if theyve hit a snag. Not easy to determine if they are going to support the app or device in the future. Downgraded the app to one star (from 2).

App doesnt work

App doesnt work at all. Basically one of the best features of wifi capability is false. If you want wifi dont use blackvue.

For those complaining, try reading first

The firmware update clearly explains that its there to migrate your device to the new and improved blackvue cloud app...thats why this doesnt work anymore for you.

Junk

The title says it all, app and camera are both junk compared to cameras I have in my other vehicles

Please allow exporting video without embedded map overlays

Decent app for basic functionality, however one thing that o hate is that if I export a video from the app to my phone, the app embeds a map view over the right-half of the video. This is problematic when it covers important footage. Please make this something that can be toggled off.

Poor updates

This app was great about 3 updates ago. Now it plays than freezes, so you constantly have to press the play button. With every update that comes out I think they will fix it but it never seems to help. Dont know why pittasoft took an app that worked perfectly and ruined it?

I want to use this app with 2.0.02 version

This made a lot better than C version

This camera would be great if...

It didnt stop recording on its own. If it wouldnt freeze up. If the lil copper wire didnt break when u have to unplug it to retrieve sd card. Theres been many times where i go to view videos and learned the recording didnt record. It would just turn itself off automatically. The time never stays accurate n the date never stays the same. It will give years of 2069. Dates of 2033. I mean this camera can be nice but in all its over priced with all these flaws.

Wont play ANY video

I have a DR550 and this app will not play any video ether via wifi or internal storage. I can download from the camera fine it just wont play. I know it is there because I can scrub through it but it will not play. It makes the hole thing useless if you can not play back what is recorded!
