Tactacam WiFi

Love the camera not the app. Will not work with newer phones. I have a note 9 and note 10, neither one will sync to the camera. I do have an old Galaxy S5 active that works great with the camera. I end up using this phone just for my Tactacam and my other hunting cameras. For what the camera cost, seems like they could spend a little money to fix the app so it will work with newer phones.

Was very satisfied now not so much. The app no longer works properly and I thought it was a tactacam issue turns out its an android issue working with the app Called tactacam and they said it has nothing to do with their product. So until the creators of this app fix the problem so people with android phones could use the app as it it suppose to work I would not recommend this app at all. Thanks and have a great day.

Doesn't always connect with my Samsung S10. When it does, the settings page is worthless as the lines of text overlap each other. BLUETOOTH would be a much better way to connect. WiFi is ok in the field, but at home the phone wants to connect to the router.

This has been a nightmare! Had to resort to my acient tablet to get all the updates and now I can only view recorded video from my old phone. The new phone freezes up as well as the camera when trying to access the saved files. Even my old blackweb camera works better than this high priced junk!!!!

App locks up when trying to go to "playback mode". As others have stated, it shows the live video perfectly fine, and the camera does record. The apps works as a controller, but playback currently doesn't work on this app (which is the main advantage and reason for purchasing)

Downloaded videos do not appear on my phone anywhere except on the app. When downloading video in a batch, app tell me video content not supported and will not playback video. Also when I try to share a video it just tells me the app stopped working and closes it out. App seems fairly useless except to view/download videos while camera is connected which is not even that useful because I dont carry my camera everywhere I go.. Using a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus

Received as a Christmas gift in 2019: Tactacam 4.0. Worked fine in January 2020. Not anymore. December 2020 and having issues exactly as described in other reviews. Unable to access files..freezes up..etc. Many emails to tactacam. They even replied with "updated app in the play store 12-8-2020." Well that didn't fix it. You have ruined our investments. Do not purchase!

My gf brought me tgis for Christmas. The camera does it's job but omg the app is terrible. I hook up Wi-Fi to my phone and try to watch the videos and it buffers every 3 seconds. So annoying. I was able to download 1 video to my phone but it took so long and had no sound after downloaded Now everytime I try to download. It immediately says failed. The app even has the option to download a video to facebook bit it doesn't work. We r trying to work with customer service but nothing is getting done

not terrible but not great. its nice for setting up your gun or bow to get the right angle of view but as far as watching your videos on the app its not very good. if im connected to my tactacam and trying to watch a video ive recorded it will speed it up to the point its too fast to watch it. ive downloaded videos onto the app to watch them and as soon as the action starts where im shooting the gun or bow it will cut out and the app will close automatically.

App worked great for the first week and when I open the app the cam name is "unknown ssid" and I can view the live image on my phone but can't change settings or view/delete videos on the SD card. When I try, the app freezes and closes. I have tried removing and adding the camera again, and nothing changes. Unfortunately there's not a new update . Something happened to me and no anyway can fix it too ,delete app and return it bought other new but same .

I bought my 5.0 two months ago and had issues with laggy videos on the app. Then a month and a half went by and it wouldn't let me review my videos on the app anymore. I was unable to fix it myself so I emailed tactacam and within a couple of days "Emily" emailed me a link to download to try of the tactacam app. I Uninstalled the original app and downloaded hers and it looked the same except this one worked. So I deleted the junk videos that I had quick while it worked! I'm greatful. God bless.

Love the camera. Hate the app. In fact I would most likely purchase more Tactacam cameras and accessories if the App worked. Unfortunately as of right now I can't view anything I record in the field, which is vital. Because the App is S%!t, I have to wait until I can load my sd card onto my computer. Button line fix the app or I'm going back to my GoPro!!

App worked great for the first 2 months. Now its middle of bow season and when I open the app the cam name is "unknown ssid" and I can view the live image on my phone but can't change settings or view/delete videos on the SD card. When I try, the app freezes and closes. I have tried removing and adding the camera again, and nothing changes. Unfortunately there's not a new update either. Would be 5 stars if the app worked like it did 2 months ago.

The app is trash. My Tactacam 4.0 used to work fine. Now it will connect, but under "ssid unknown" and with zero functionality other than the live view. Cannot access settings, videos, etc. and app keeps freezing. I have done everything customer support has recommended: manually downloading firmware from the website, formatting SD card, uninstalling and reinstalling the app... HOURS of time wasted. Looking at the reviews, it seems they have been aware of this issue for months and still no fix.

I bought the Tactacam FTS package and it works well for recording through my scope. The app unfortunately freezes every time I try to do anything other than look at the live video feed. I contacted the mfr. and was instructed to click "Forget" on the Tactacam network and then reconnect. It worked only once and then reverted to the same freeze-up behavior. I tried it on 2 different model LG phones, and both freeze. I like the product itself, but without the app working I am not able to access the full capabilities.

Mine did work fine last year. Now it will not let me share videos. Say app keeps stopping. Looked into details and says crash. Cameras work absolutely great. But now I can't share. So basically useless. Hope tactacam gets app fixed. Tactacam fixed my issue immediately. The customer service is by far the best in the industry bar none. My rating is now 5 stars! These are fine people to deal with and the product is by far the best I've used.

camera itself works great, I cannot share vids at all. I contacted customer service and after about 2 weeks of back and forth, they decided it was a problem with my phone. they advised me to contact samsung and ask them to change the operating system to function properly with the app. really? I also tried on iphone, and ipad without success. seems as though they are unwilling to fix the app to work with all operating systems. bad customer service.
