Took too long for app update. But now my yi 4K cam works over wifi on my iPhone se. I will be more cautious of updating my iOS version after making sure it doesn't break compatibility with the app in the future.

I have had countless issues with this app. After sending borderline hateful emails to the company I received complicated instructions in broken English and was finally able to struggle through and get a single problem resolved. After a short break of filming I anxiously decided to record again. Now the app will not allow me to download clips yet again. Instead of buying anything from this company I’d recommend getting a GoPro. Easy to use, similar quality, 10000% less effort and frustration. YI stands for “You Idiots” that waste money on the product.

I wish I would have never bought this camera. Good luck streaming live with it when the app constantly crashes.

In case no knows, Yi Tech will no longer support the app or the Action Camera, so don’t expect anymore updates to the app. Such bad support for a great camera. Smh.. Here is the press release I found online. “At this moment in time, we are pausing active development on all YI Action Cam products and the YI Action App. We do not a fixed date when updates will resume, and we apologize for the inconvenience.”

Although the Yi developers had some great innovative ideas for the action cam app, It has many bugs in it. It also freezes often especially when running 2.7 k or 4 k videos. Also camera to phone WiFi has a tendency to disconnect even within 5 ft of the camera. Several other bugs to list... not to mention you get Chinese character messages popping up sometimes. The user should be able to read only 1 language of choice. developers should’ve spent more time on testing the app and fixing bugs. They obviously did not hire top-notch programmers.

Even though the camera has latest firmware, and app is latest version, it will not connect to camera

Camera was purchased for Facebook live. That never worked from the beginning 3 years ago. Up until a few month’s ago, no issues linking to phone. Now, nothing works. The camera and app will go straight to the trash after softball season which is a shame because the camera takes excellent videos but is otherwise useless.

Is a great camera to record 4K videos and if you’re not into livestream or controlling the camera with your phone, this might be a great option for you, unfortunately the app hasn’t been updated in more than a year, it seems that Xiaomi doesn’t care anymore about the app and the connectivity of the camera.
