Hunting Camera 4+

Aside from the clunky UI, this app usually works OK once it does manage to connect to the trail cam. But roughly 90% of the time, after I hit the Connect button, it just spins an hourglass for a while and then returns to the Connect screen with no explanation whatsoever about why it failed. Is the connection bad (unlikely, I’m ten feet from the device, and if I ever DO connect, it’s plenty fast with live video and everything after the long connect)? Is there a problem with some server somewhere? It would be better if it never connected at all, because the fact that it works one out of ten times means that I keep trying in hopes of a rare good day. I can’t count the hours I’ve spent watching that damned hourglass.

Super disappointed. I bought the camera that goes with the app so my elderly parents could use the camera/phone connectivity while visiting my home but despite the app connecting to the wifi, it keeps telling me that the camera is not connected. I’ve followed all of the troubleshooting steps and nothing works. I’ll be returning the camera.

I do not understand the 1* reviews. The app downloaded and worked perfectly for me on iOS 14.5.1. Setup was easy, and provided high res live viewing of camera still and video, as well as ability to download files and set most trail camera settings. A well designed app which I recommend.
