Covert Wireless 4+

I’ve used other trail cams and there apps and I find the covert wireless to be the least polished. On top of that, it won’t stop asking me for permission to my photos. Ask me once, that’s fine. But if I say no then don’t keep asking me. That isn’t even a necessary function to use this product. The primary function of this is to let me see pictures via the app that the trail cam has taken. That does not require me to give permission to view my photos on my phone, yet the app won’t stop taking me to the setting to allow access. It’s very annoying. I wouldn’t buy another one solely based on this.

Was once the best in the game at mixing value with a quality product. But in a short time they not only have continued to put out cameras that are subpar but are still priced higher than competitors that now offer superior products. As the product has continued to get worse and worse, the app which has never been great is the worst in the business. I once was running 20+ covert cams and now am transitioning to tactacam. With about 10 covert cams and over 20 tactacams, it’s clear which service and cam is ahead. By next season there won’t be a covert camera in my fleet, and that saddens me. The lack of innovation, putting out worse products than the cams they are replacing and a slipping customer service I would advise anyone looking to run large amounts of cams to go with tactacam or Spartan if you can afford it. Covert is going to continue to lose customer after customer.

Who really thought forcing ads to be seen before you can view your photos after notification was a good idea? A few days ago I was dumbfounded when I opened the app to see the photos on my 5 cameras after I received notification. I was forced to wait until the ad timed out before I could see my pictures. This is wrong. I’ve had this app for multiple years and have always appreciated the ability to see what was being captured on camera. I certainly did not want to be paying for 5 subscriptions every single month to see ads. There is no way to turn it off, anywhere, not even in my phone settings. A new button called ads has a message that it is a 2 month test. Well, the test failed! Get it off my app! Prior to this, I would have gladly rated 5 stars.
