I like the feature that enables you to monitor your cards battery voltage while it didn't park in your garage totally powered down.I have the HK-6 wiring harness which enabled this feature in a to unlocking the hybrid parking mode.But overall the app has a lot of issues with connectivity. Primarily the App disconnects from the dash cam hardware constantly, only managing to run for one to two minutes before it disconnects again. This happens over and over again rendering this latest app unusable for all practical purposes.In addition to the connectivity issues, the live video feed from any of the three camera cameras is plugged by significant latency of between 5 and 10 seconds behind the actual real world events occuring on the road in front of you.It's become a major distraction while driving and as a result I don't consider it safe to use this app while operating a motor vehicle.Pick up all of these problems I have been using the older VIOFO Dashcam app instead. While the older app lacked some of the features I mentioned above it does not have the disconnection issues or significant latency issues making it a much better and safer choice when interfacing with the dash cam hardware during normal operation.Hopefully VIOFO manages to get all of these significant bugs out of this particular app sooner rather than later.I have to test all of these issues with VIOFO tech-support and supplied them with operation log from the application for them to review in the hopes that they can identify the cost of these issues and correct them in the next update.Until then I cannot recommend this app for anything other than monitoring your car voltage while it is parked and everything is powered down.

I recently bought an A229 pro. I downloaded the original Viofo app (not this app) that was presented in my setup manual. It worked, but wasn’t super impressed with user functionality.I realized my new camera had an outdated firmware version so I started googling how to do that. I then read dated late January an article on the Viofo website about a new and improved app (Viofo Dashcam, the app that I’m writing the review for). I think that this is a better app for user functionality, especially with the ability to update firmware from the phone/app. It seems like it all flows smoother too compared to the other app.For anyone reading this, Viofo Dashcam is the updated, new, app. For a new user, this was somewhat confusing, thus not getting full stars at the moment.

I don’t write many reviews on much of anything I own or use, so bear with me.My review here was written on Sunday, January 18, 2025.→ The app seems promising, if only it would work. Currently, it is 99% unusable.I am able to connect to my A139 Pro from within the app. However, that’s as far as usability goes in my case.Once I tap “Enter Dashcam” and it goes to the next part where it says “Loading” and then to the next screen where it says “Preview is compressed” near the top, the app will crash every. single. time. No exceptions.I am not able to see any preview or do *anything* in the app, other than connecting to the camera as mentioned before.I’ve downloaded, deleted, and redownloaded the app; I’ve factory reset the camera; I’ve formatted my 256GB VIOFO-branded microSD card.I’ve even tried all channel-configurations (1-channel, 3-channel, 2-channel [front+interior], and 2-channel [front+rear]… nothing changes.**The app will always crash in exactly the same spot.**The original VIOFO app works perfectly though. I’ve never had any problem with that one.P.S…. if this new app’s logo is also the new VIOFO logo, I am all for it!! It looks absolutely amazing and not as “generic” as before, if that makes sense!

Viofo’s brand would be so much stronger if they just invested in building a proper app that actually worked. Both viofo apps (this “dashcam” one, and the “viofo” app) suffer from terrible UI design, slow response times, and frequent bugs. For example, the app will randomly disconnect from the dashcam about once every 2 minutes, making it borderline unusable. The dashcam hardware works great, but the app is very rough.Overall, the app WILL let you use your dashcam, but it will be an infuriating experience as the software feels like it hasn’t been updated in decades.
