Reviews for BlackVue

Cameras are awesome. Work great and great quality. Installation wasn’t to bad. But the app…..the app is horrible. Extremely slow. Navigating it is a bit tricky(when it works). Currently it is locked on a screen showing “loading” and won’t allow any other action. Customer service is also really pushy and a bit rude, but they […]

Initially I was not able to connect to camera using WiFi. After trial and error, I was able to connect. To get working, I had to enable WiFi setting from SD card using PC and also disable data from my phone. Everytime I want to connect, I have to disable data from my phone to […]

BlackVue kinda sucks. The app’s UI is not intuitive, camera is mediocre at best, and it’s insanely priced for what you get. 100% more trouble than it’s worth. Most of the time the dumb thing doesn’t even recognize updates and setting changes from the app. Always frustrated with it. I promise you’ll spend most of […]

You are now required to connect your camera to the cloud to view the GPS, which makes that feature utterly worthless without one of their SIM cards. If I knew that they were going to force me to connect my dash cam to the cloud to use features that previously did not require that, and […]

I feel like almost every update you guys take 1 step forward and 3 steps back. Why when I open the app I have to sign in? The last version wasn’t like that. Why when I open the app it’s in explorer? I’m ok it’s there but I bought this camera to see my stuff […]

A spectacularly clunky app that requires more and more personal information that they can then sell. Instead of letting you connect to a camera you are right next to. Checking footage pretty much requires removing the camera sd card and take it to my computer. This is completely useless roadside, so time for a different […]

Probably the worst overall app experience ever. Firstly, it’s a hassle trying to even get to where you can view footage. Secondly, the app crashes constantly. Thirdly, the fact that I can only be less than 100 feet from the car to have the live footage work is pretty much pointless. Wish I’d saved my […]

When you thought it couldn’t get worse. This latest update is utter trash. The entire UI experience isn’t anything remotely near intuitive. The application doesn’t even recognize that I’ve updated the software version, so it keeps telling me to do so after 3 successful tries (at least that’s what the BlackVue app tells me). My […]

If you download this app and get lucky like me, where it all works when you download it? DON’T EVER UPDATE AGAIN! Every friggin update brings back bugs they patched and makes worse the whole experience. I hate having to turn off my data to make the wifi connection work. I hate the app not […]

I don’t know what happened to these guys. Their platform used to be great. I bought one of their cameras in 2015, I used it for about a year and then put it in a drawer. I just took it back out got everything connected and all appeared to be well at first until I […]

0 stars. This used to be simple and worked like it should. The last 2 updates suck. It fails to connect to internet, makes you login after giving an error about already being logged in and is in general beyond horrible. I have to mess with it for 5-10 minutes to find a work around […]

App is useless after the most recent update. I can no longer connect to my camera through wifi. I tried connecting manually through the “+” and when I enter the SSID and password it keeps saying it can’t connect or detect any camera. Why are you guys trying to make something so simple so complicated? […]

Very disapointed with the app! Camera’s are fantastic, videos are crisp and clear, which is why I went with blackvue in the first but the only issue I’ve run into is the videos can only be veiwed through the app and it wouldn’t be an issue if the stupid app worked!! I spent an whole […]

This app used to be good, but requiring an account is a big hit to the usability. A great dash cam app means at minimum, you need to be able to connect to the dash cam with little to no barriers of entry. Requiring a mobile connection to log in is a big hit. There […]

The app isn’t horrible. It could use some work, but at least it works. However, the only way to make it work, which is with the direct wifi to the camera, only works if I turn off my data. That isn’t explained on the app, and I had to look it up on Google just […]

Their camera and what it can do on paper appears to be great. The bug in the software really shows that my budget mini0906 worked great and does not need the software and I only paid 1/5 of the price. I can’t access the cloud. What is the point of paying for all the nooks […]

WTH? How did I get roped into paying $500 for a camera with the absolute worst app and software I’ve ever seen on a piece of electronics! Had to manual sync because it can’t find the camera. Wifi connection drops constantly … app crashes every other menu … can’t even access my $500 camera system […]

2022 update: Software is still lacking 3 years later now. In order to update. The recorded video on the memory card needs to be erased. Good camera. Bad software. I’m surprised after this many years it hasn’t changed much. I still need to jump through hoops in order to pull film from it. I don’t […]

I was able to successfully connect to the cloud finally ( had to start completely fresh from the beginning), but the time stamp on my 900s is off by an hour and three minutes. I need to access the firmware setting to change the time, I think, but it keeps telling me there’s an error […]

An absolutely awful piece of software. I’ve had cameras from most of the major manufacturers, and this is the worst of the lot. It locks up constantly, it’s unbelievably slow, and getting the connectivity to work is a nightmare. And then, when it does finally work, it keeps dropping out at random. I will be […]
