Great Camera, Terrible Ap – ADIXXION sync. Review

Let me start with this: the Adixxion XA2 camera is great. I'm filming outdoor roller hockey games under street lights and it did great. The last game it started to sprinkle and it was nice not having to run around worrying about them getting a little wet. But this app...it's almost useless for the thing I most wanted and expected. I almost never write reviews (I had to register a nickname just for this) but since there aren't any listed yet I'm going to put this out here so maybe someone actually reads it. The ONE thing I wanted this app to do was tell two cameras to start recording at the same time. Sounds like a no brainer, right? Nope. Can't. Yes, you have a "quad-view" so you can see what up to four (and I had planned to buy two more if these worked out well) cameras are looking at. Pretty neat. But as soon as you go to control one of the cameras, either to change a setting or anything else, you're stuck there. You can't get back to control your other camera UNLESS you go all the way out of the app, change you wifi settings, reconnect, and at that point you might as well have manually walked over and turned on the cameras yourself. I don't really want to syncing video in a separate program when it should not be necessary. How hard is it to have a "begin all" button for recording for all cameras synched with your phone? It can't be that hard. Some of the other menu options are a bit clumsy too, and it bothers me a bit that when on High Speed (720p@120fps, the setting I bought these cameras for) the video does NOT show up in quad view. I mean, I can understand and don't expect it to display perfectly on that setting but again it seems like it should be possible to sample the stream at a reduced frame rate. By comparison, these are not such a big deal to me. Being able to modify some camera settings through the app instead of camera buttons is nice (so, one star for that), but not a whole lot. Honestly, great camera, terrible ap. Get the app together and I'll buy 2 more of these cameras the next day. TL; DR: If you are only buying one camera, this camera and this app are probably OK. If you plan on using more than one of these cameras, consider a different camera.
