  • Why is the app terrible?

    Just got my dash cam, but the app is just terrible. Not user friendly, had to manually updated the firmware because it wouldn’t connect. After 2.5 hours, it finally got loaded. Played with the app and camera, but there are no features within the app to start, stop, video, take pictures, or edit unless you get the Cobra app and pay a fee. With the amount of money spent on the camera, why isn’t the app better? Also, why is little car icon named John? That is not the assigned name I gave to my vehicle and I can’t change the name. Hopefully the app gets updated and is more user friendly. The camera it’s self is nice with no complaints there.
  • Pls advise!!!

    Hi all at Cobra. I am recently purchased the SC 200 D with rearview camera. I’ve read overAnd over again and again in these reviews about issues that I’m having as well ...repeated month after months by many upset customers. And the response each time from your company is “we are sorry and we have addressed the issue and our firmware update. “ ( paraphrase) I wish I had only read these comments before buying,However I trusted the brand that you have built. That was my mistake. But the bigger mistake here lies with you and the product and worse than that, is that you are clearly aware of these issues and still advertise promising features that are not delivered. In most cases that’s called fraud. . . I’m extremely upset because I paid a good bit of money for this. I cannot connect the hotspot on my phone. I cannot get the app to open and scan for the camera without immediately shutting down. ,Forget about voice activation features or connecting to your phone or alerts from the cobra community about speed traps , red right cameras etc. Nothing you have promised is being delivered. All the capabilities, The selling points, at this time they seem to be lies. I do not think you are liars. But at this time, your product is not working as you promised. I spent money on this product and I can’t get it back now. Please address this issue ... or issues rather! How can we make this work!! Please respond to this post with more than the standard apology and advice to update to latest app.

    To start with, i cant even make an account. It said that there is already an account with my email. So i tried to see if i could recover a password but as soon as i type in the email to try to recover an account, as suspected, there is no email registered to an account....

    I got this as a gift and have been trying to set it up, but I can’t update the system because my IPhone can’t connect to the camera. I’ve tried several different times but it just won’t work.

    Just got the sc200d dashcam. Initially the app can connect just fine with live view and I was able to download a video to my phone. Then it do a firmware update for the dashcam. Now the app says it is connected on the Home Screen but when I try to do a live view it says it’s not connected.

    I can’t update the camera firmware because the camera wifi says it’s unable to connect to my phone I’ve attempted countless times. I’ve even tried to update the camera using my computer but that doesn’t work either. Trash app doesn’t do anything.

    I spent over $200 each for this system. One for my daughter car and one for my car. The system worked for about 1 month in my daughter car and I can’t load the system at all on my iPhone 12! I can find my dash cam but it will not connect! I keep getting the same error message. I bought them for our safety but it has turned out to be a true waste of money! DO NOT BUY

    At this point I would be better off using a 1987 Poloroid to take photos. This app and the cobra camera are useless.
