The camera itself came with a lack of instruction. I was hoping to get more from the app but the app was confusing. After 2 weeks of troubleshooting I finally figured out everything...mostly. Now I want to stop sharing the camera with somebody else. I've gone to the home screen and the me area. Both camera/are updated. It doesn't give me the option to delete the account I am sharing with. It only gives me the option to share with someone else."

An updated app showed up on my phone this morning. This app is now 10 times more complicated to use! I turned the camera on last night when I went to sleep and this morning, it's been off all night and I have no incident recordings! I typically review those every morning; to see if anyone has messed with my car and then delete them or save a select few, but now I can't find a way to delete the recordings that I don't need! How do we delete incident recordings from the SD card now????"

The app is responsive and the camera gives good quality. My reason for only 3 stars is that they made downloading clips very complicated and unfunctional. You're basically just screen recording a recording plus 5 more steps, is this the year 1990? .... Changing my rating from 3 to 5, The update of Sep-Oct '23 solved the issue of downloading clips and now they made it very easy and accessible. TY. :)"
