DefenderApp-Browning Trail Cam 4+

This is review number 3. My two previous reviews are over a year old. The app was updated 8 months ago according to the app store. I am not sure if its because I have not updated my iphone in forever but even when it was the app crashed. I can no longer download pics or videos to my phone, ever since the last update. I can (barely) view them on my phone but they do not download. I am not sure what happened but the feature no longer works. The Defender camera is amazing, pics/vids and audio quality are top notch. The app connects (most times) and allows me to make the needed adjustments in the settings menu, and I can delete vids/pics. The app does crash, I'd say at least once while reviewing data, but oh well. I suppose that asking for some updating to the app would be asking for too much since its now all outdated tech. But in my opinion, why create an app and not update it more often?

Need a better way to establish the initial mobile connection. Currently you need to walk up to the camera, within 20 feet or so, the switch to Wi-Fi and reconnect. I imagine that the help preserve battery life, however is is awkward and inconvenient.

Needs a better way to bulk select and transfer photos/videos, currently you have to tap each file, 1 by 1.

During file transfer, needs a progress indicator.

Very much needs that ability to select active motion detection areas, in order to avoid the false positive photos from trees moving in the wind.

The app is a fantastic tool and very simple to use. Not only this but the app has the ability to control your camera at your fingertips. I have numerous cameras I utilize with this app. I train a multitude of individuals over cell cameras with my career and can assure you this app is the best one amongst other trail camera companies. I have really benefited from the most recent modification and upgrades done with the app as well.
