After a long summer waiting for a cool new product to make it’s way into the market I am let down completely after recovering the camera in the mail and subsequently downloading this app yesterday. The app has no instructions, disconnects from the camera as soon as you try to view photos, use your phone as a viewfinder, or do basically anything that has to do with the two devices communicating. Hopefully an update that is SO DESPERATELY NEEDED will be released soon so myself, and the hundreds of others that backed this project from the start can enjoy the product we saw a reason for and took a chance on.

After previously using canon camera and the apps that correlated with them I was eager to try out this new easily handheld camera with a seemingly user friendly and functioning app. Unfortunately after downloading the app it became clear that it was not user friendly, after tinkering with it for a bit I was able to connect my camera, or so I thought. Although the camera “connects” every time I go to try and access the photos (which is the whole point of this app) my device attempts to and then fails as each time the device disconnects. It is extremely frustrating because one of the main appeals to this device was the app, hopefully they will improve upon this

The app doesn’t work. The unit connects on iPhone through Bluetooth and you can change some settings but as soon as you click on the remote capabilities and image gallery where it connects through WiFi it disconnects the Bluetooth and fails to connect.

When they say “some images may be simulated” they mean Live View. Apparently that major feature—what I bought the camera for—doesn’t actually exist yet.I can live with the disconnection issue; it reconnects quickly. But a camera that’s dependent on a feature that IT DOESN’T HAVE? If I wanted something I have to look through to take a picture, I’ve got a DSLR for that. If I wanted something smaller that still needs looking at, I have my phone for that. I seriously do not understand who the customer base for this is—people with smartphones who want to keep their phones in their pockets and carry a second device with none of the capabilities of the phone cameras that they necessarily have? I don’t think those people exist. I am not a happy puppy. Thankfully, I bought this retail, because it’s going back tonight.Update: Returned the camera. Deleted the app.
