SJ Versatile Cameras for Negative User Reviews
✓ Won't connectNew update won't connect to SJ4000, needs fixing ASAP!!.Version: 2.6
✓ Update it please!!Still it crash, sometimes i can't see my photos and videos and when i change the mode between photo and video,lost the live stream!! please update it!.Version: 1.2
✓ Worked well but now???It used to work fine, then it went zoomed in on one corner of the screen and would not move, and now it is telling me my real camera is counterfeit?!.Version: 2.4
✓ JackDosent want to connect to my iPad after iOS 9 update.Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn't work.This and the other app both tell me my camera is counterfeit..Version: 2.4
✓ Super LagLive view on camera mode was super lag.. Need to fix this...Version: 1.4
✓ Try ispo-camera app if you have problemsSo I tried all day long to get this working with my sj4000 clone and it never connected. I finally stumbled upon a wifi app intended for a dash cam with the same chipset and it works great. Search for ispo-camera on the App Store. Hopefully they get this app back up and running, but until then, I have a functioning wifi cam again. Hope this helps some people out there....Version: 1.3
✓ Improvements neededBeing the the app is for action, the buttons are too small to touch while in movement. Should be one press to switch from videos to still pictures. Lame user manual..Version: 1.3
✓ The app doesn't work and is buggyWhen I first got the app it kept on telling me that I had purchased a fake product of Sj4000 wifi (Which I hadn't) and then at one point it let me connect to it and it worked perfectly fine. The next day when I came to edit some movies I made with the Sj4000 wifi it started to tell me again that it is a fake product. I don't if this happens to everyone but it happens to me. About a couple of months later after iOS 9 update won't connect to camera please fix this asap!.Version: 2.6
✓ Update FW??The previous version worked fine, but latest version says "update FW!" and won't connect. This app is installed on my iPhone 4. Please fix..Version: 1.3
✓ It's good but could be betterI downloaded this app to work with my SJCAM SJ4000 WIFI. It connects with no problems. The issues being: When you try and watch a video it can freeze after about 2-3 seconds. You then have to select VIDEO and then select the clip again from the menu. Clearly a bug that needs sorting. Also you can fast forward or rewind during a clip would be helpful if you could do this. The only way you can do this is to download the clip. This is not helpful if you are looking for a certain part of a clip and have loads of clips. If they had both of these I would of given it 5 stars. Apart from these points it is a very easy app to use and works well with a SJ4000 WIFI camera..Version: 2.1
✓ CounterfeitWhy is this app still report my sj5000 wifi is a counterfeit; this issue needs to be fixed ASAP..Version: 2.4
✓ Does not workThe app is not compatible with jscam SJ5000+ also is not compatible with iPhone 6 & iPhone 6+.Version: 1.2
✓ Cam no connectAfter update on ios9 cam wont connect to wifi Please fix!!.Version: 2.6

✓ Sjcam videoThe app hardly works.... Playing back video skips, pauses, then crashes like 8-10 times....Version: 2.8

✓ SJ5000 wifiSorry but the iPad app and camera unable to connect. BTW, the 'droid app which was working before now won't connect to cam either!.Version: 1.3
✓ Gutted!I am gutted this app won't work! The camera is amazing and want to back up my photos and videos onto my iPad and it won't connect. At first this app looked good but wouldn't get past the connecting stage. Please fix this.... If I could give it a zero I would.Version: 2.2
✓ Needs UpdatePlease give this app a upgrade its a little buggy and frustrating. thanks.Version: 2.8
✓ CantconnectIos9.0.2 can't connect. I join cameras network but cannot connect to or access camera from app..Version: 2.6
✓ MaloShame. This is a scam! Stay away!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Bloody UselessThe camera does not connect with Apple devices I bought one have tried it with 2 iPads a iPhone 3 a 4s and 5s and none of the apple devices can find the camera. Don't waste your money on the Wifi camera. Complete failure. If your reading this chances are you will find out for yourself.Version: 1.2
✓ Great camera terrible app!!Does not work hardly ever with iPhone 6. Maddening..Version: 1.2
✓ Not workingIt's not connecting on my sj4000. Please fix..Version: 2.6
✓ Missing play back feature!!!As a biker this Mode is crucial!!! over all the app works fine downloading speed varies on your memory card. The app runs okay but again missing the most important feature..Version: 3.0
✓ Not workNot working on iPhone 6 iOS 8.1..Version: 1.2
✓ Latest update app video no longer worksThe app worked great until this latest update. After installing update, app connects to camera but no longer shows video on app rendering it useless. Bummer.Version: 3.0
✓ No wifi grrr!Camera great but can't connect camera to my iPhone via wifi like other reviewers. Has anyone discovered the solution?.Version: 1.3
✓ Garbage appVery buggy. Displays on iPhone when initially connecting but when recording, phone display freezes and then goes black. Have to re-start app to get the camera display back on the phone. Very very poor effort. Essentially useless..Version: 1.2
✓ DOES NOT WORKI bought this after seeing the review by Techmoan on YouTube. I do not know how he got his to work but I can't. It states on the camera screen that it is connected, but in the App it just says "Connecting" and goes on for ever but never does!!! If you try using any of the controls they do not work. I am VERY dissapointed with this App and as it stands it is A COMPLET WASTE OF TIME!.Version: 1.2
✓ OkThe camera is great, sadly the app isn't great as the camera. The app has a lot of lag, it gets frozen sometimes. This app requires work on it to get to the same level as the gopro, its clearly a good competence for the gopro.Version: 1.3
✓ Useless since updateSince the latest update will not connect. Please sort it out as it worked faultlessly before.Version: 1.3
✓ Works but needs tweakingI've used this app for a day and my opinion is that it's a good little tool but it really does need an update to fix the irritating bug issues. It's great for setting up the camera for angles etc but I find it does crash on the odd occasion. Streaming to my phone has a few problems too but downloading the files from the camera to the iPhone seem flawless..Version: 1.2
✓ New update's rubbishSince the new update I can't connect via wifi, sort it please going diving soon!!.Version: 1.3
✓ App doesn't workI have iOS 8.2 and my camera doesn't connect to the app. Basically this app is pointless. I downloaded another app called linkineyes. Linkineyes works but it doesn't allow you to turn the cam on or off. Not too big of a deal for me but all other functions work. My cameras hook right up to linkineyes with no issues. Unlike this app..Version: 1.3
✓ So disappointedReally annoyed with new update!! Keeps saying update FW then won't connect to camera. Worked perfectly before. I use it everyday commute and now have to connect to laptop to download, whereas before I could download and edit on phone!!!! Should be zero stars😡😡😡.Version: 1.3
✓ App updateWon't work anymore, fix it pls..Version: 1.3
✓ Camera ok, app terrible!!App is slow, freezes all the time, unstable!! Terrible. Get a 'low battery warning' on your phone, app frozen. Try changing the camera capture mode via wifi, the new setting is not saved, even though is says so. You can get the 3 sec timer on the sj4000 itself but not via the app. We know it´s a cheap device, but the app has been badly programmed, it´s a joke. Please update the app fast! Please also update the software of the camera fast!.Version: 1.2
✓ Alternative AppJust found another app called wifi action camera and it works fine, no telling you to update FW S**t!!😀😀.Version: 1.3
✓ WiFi not workingI can't get WiFi to connect to iPhone.Version: 1.2
✓ Please updateThe camera is great. With the thought of convenience of the app would make it impeccable but the app is for the most part a let down when it come to letting you record. Update the app and it was make for happy consumers!.Version: 1.2
✓ Poor Resolution on iPadThe app is not suited for the iPad. The pages can't be seen properly as they appear too large. Scrolling to find the button you you need to access is difficult or impossible..Version: 1.4
✓ No longer useable nowAs before reviews since the up date I am asked for the FW? And the camera no longer connects with wifi😞. Needs an immediate fix..Version: 1.3
✓ Please update and fix bugFix bug, please.. Every time I tried to connect, it was interrupted easily..Version: 1.3
✓ Sj Cam app new updateI downloaded the new update for the sjcam app but when i tried connecting my sj4000 camera it said please update fw. I tried everything, i even updates the firmware on my camera bit it still said please update fw. Please fix this its really annoying.Version: 1.3
✓ No! No! No! ....This "new version" simply does not work. Cameras that worked perfectly under 1.2 require you to "update FW". What they don't tell you is you will most likely brick your SJ4000 or render it barely functional with the keys all mixed up. There are tons of firmware versions, most which will not work. As the website warns, "At Your Own Risk" ... and that is 100% accurate. Wished there was a 0 stars!.Version: 1.3
✓ Can't connectSince the upgrade the camera will not connect, sort it out please not a happy chappy at the moment.Version: 1.3
✓ Wont connectJust got my sjcam 5000 wifi. Its on version 2.1 Connects to my ipad wifi fine but app refuses to find camera. Wifi is a bit of a waste if there is not any app support..Version: 1.3
✓ Not workingAfter updating, it couldnt connect to camera via wifi. So bad. ios 9.1.Version: 2.6
✓ This App Needs SERIOUS WORK, Buy a GoPro Instead!!!Video transfer does not work, Constantly crashes app, I am using an iPad mini 2 and when trying to transfer files from SJ cam to iPad over wifi it will download and say file has been downloaded. all it really does is create an empty folder in the pictures application that is empty. The wireless is worse than a cheap GPS. Do yourself a favor and buy a GoPro!.Version: 2.1
✓ Saying my camera is Fake and it's notI'm getting the same problem. They need to fix this glitch..Version: 2.4
✓ Picture GuyPlease update app!!! Doesn't connect to phone anymore 😡.Version: 1.3
✓ Good on iPhone, useless on iPadThis app does the job on my iPhone, though it lacks a bit of polish. Unfortunately it's useless on iPad though - will there be an iPad version? Please?.Version: 2.1
✓ WifiI'm having the same issue. Only just got the camera, I got the wifi one so I can use the app on my phone and it won't connect to my camera. Sort it out ASAP.Version: 1.3
✓ Only works for a remote. Play back is terribleThis app is terrible. Needs a major overhaul. Video play back is distorted, crashes all the time!! If this is not fixed soon, I am contacting Amazon for a full refund. SJCAM 4000 wifi is a great camera for the price. This app ruins this cameras features because it does not work!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Very disappointedSince the latest update my camera won't connect says updata fw? Anyone buying an SJ cam don't bother with the wifi option as it can not be used !!!.Version: 1.3
✓ Sj4000wifiThis app is almost useless it crashes, I cannot see the videos on my iPhone it is very unreliable some time I can copy the pictures to my iPhone some time I can't . Please make a major update !!!.Version: 1.2
✓ I can't rely on thisI need an app that I can rely on. This app has very many issues. I need to be able to get onto it without it force closing in between every recording. This is ridiculous. Please fix the problems!!!! It shouldn't be this hard to take a photo through my phone but it is. Adjustments need to be made!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ After update sj4000Im using ip6+ ios9.2.. After update i still experiencing crash and when I change from rec mode to capture mode it hang and crash.plus i cant transfer video into my camera roll.. Cant believe this happened again.Version: 2.8
✓ PLEASE UPDATE AND FIX THIS APP, IT HAS CRASHES AND OTHER BUGS!!!This app needs a major update to fix crashes and other bugs - (PLEASE UPDATE AND FIX THIS APP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE) it's such a shame people have bought wifi models of the SJ4000 and can't properly use their cameras to the full potential, all because of this app causing major issues. This app works when it wants to, but not without crashes, freezes, and other bugs. I've read other people's reviews, and nothing has changed, so I guess I'm wasting my time here by asking for an update. (ALL USERS SHOULD DOWNLOAD THE APP CALLED "WIFI ACTION CAMERA" UNTIL THEY FIX AND UPDATE THIS APP, IT WORKS WITH SJ4000 WIFI) AND (SEEMS) A LITTLE MORE STABLE.Version: 1.2
✓ No save to camera roll!? WTFAs this seems to be the replacement Camera Access app for the other SJCam app, this is seriously poor. After spending an age to download vids to the app, you can't save to Camera Roll but only forced to socially share on certain services that I don't care for! Not only that, you can't delete the vids from the app storage thus taking up space you can't free up. Worst usability in a media device app I've used. Really not happy..Version: 2.8
✓ UpdateUpdated the app on my iPhone 6 to the latest version and now it won't connect to my SJ4000 wifi camera Please fix.Version: 2.6
✓ Your sj4000 app changed. Connect failureThis app worked till a week ago on my iPhone, then the app changed. It looks different now and I get a message saying update FW and the camera does Not connect, please fix.Version: 1.3

✓ RubbishWill not Connect to my iPod or iPhone 5s but works on my Samsung s4Zoom apple version needs re-writing so it Works.Version: 1.2
✓ App Not Working?App installs and loads on phone but when front screen comes up go to click on buttons and nothing works? Seems to be frozen?.Version: 1.1
✓ Needs an updateI can't see the recorded videos in the app although when I use my laptop the files are still on the memory card. The app crashes alot..Version: 1.2
✓ Ok , that's all though !!I wanted to use the app with wifi to use underwater for fishing ,it works ok with normal outdoor wifi but if you go to send it underwater it cuts out about 6" down!!.Version: 1.3
✓ This app doesnt work at all.App doesnt work at all. Wouldn't let me access my camera. Keeps telling me to update FW. C'mon man! Sort it out..Version: 1.3
✓ Not 100% FunctionalVideo recording does not work! Most other functionality is there but menu differs from SJ4000 camera menu. Some settings are different not sure yet how or if that impacts anything. Picture taking works fine..Version: 1.2
✓ UPDATE !?Please update for ios 8 👌.Version: 1.2
✓ App crashes and freezesThe app crashes and freezes when recording or taking pictures. Not very responsive when trying to push soft buttons on screen. Has potential to be better with fixes to the following items mentioned. 1 star for functionality and another star for potential..Version: 1.2
✓ No connection - Please update firmwareAs others have mentioned it's terrible. Keeps telling me to update firmware. But google finds posts about degrading the quality of the film or picture captures after updating put me off..Version: 1.3
✓ Try thisTry the Ismart dv app it worked for me. Iphone 6plus with ios 9.Version: 2.7
✓ PoorDoesn't work. Simple as that. Tells me to update FW and that it can't connect. Paid extra for the wifi version of this camera so I expect it to work, otherwise it's just a scam. I doubt that is what the company is intending so please fix this ASAP..Version: 1.3
✓ Poor playbackPlayback was not effective, showed same photo for each photo file. Also unable to download to my phone. Please fix soon!.Version: 1.2
✓ Camera's great. App is trash.Seriously needs help. The app launches and shows the camera, but viewing the videos i've recorded is literally impossible. PLEASE FIX SOON!.Version: 1.2
✓ Can control cam but missing setting :/Where's the "TV out" setting on the app?.Version: 2.1
✓ RubbishIt keeps saying update fw and can't connect just got mine today what's going on?.Version: 1.3
✓ Sj4000wifiWith the previous version worked perfectly updated and tells me to update my camera and does not connect .... if there is already a new update for sj4000 share it wifi or leave the application as it was before ..Version: 1.3
✓ GlitchingGreat for taking videos. App glitches horribly when attempting to take photos. GoPro is way better..Version: 2.1
✓ An update is a mustGreat functionality, but only if it works right, an update to the app is a must to work perfectly with ios 8 otherwise its just perfect hence the 3 star review, thanks to the developer for their great app but please work on an update to fix the crashes..Version: 1.2
