Review summary

User reviews show the BlackVue Legacy Android app is feature-rich and easy to use on supported models (e.g., DR590 2CH) with good SD card handling. But it is plagued by reliability problems (crashes, freezes), outdated status with no updates since 2016, cloud-upgrade nag and legacy firmware conflicts, plus Wi-Fi/connectivity and UI bugs that hinder usage and SD-card management.

Pros

Feature-rich and easy-to-use UI.
Reads SD cards and plays videos smoothly on supported devices (e.g., DR590 2CH).
Useful video controls, including filtering (normal, impact, parking) and front/rear view options.
Good overall functionality for the supported models.

Cons

Stability issues: frequent crashes and freezes.
No updates since 2016; outdated and poorly supported, with compatibility problems on newer Android versions/devices.
Cloud upgrade nag and legacy firmware conflicts; cloud features not usable for Legacy units.
Wi-Fi/connectivity problems and settings instability; device Wi-Fi difficult to change, time issues.
UI bugs and SD-card management limitations, including inability to format SD card via Wi-Fi and occasional login/password problems.

2025-12-16	Sh*****	Selectable bit rate needs to be added. This is a MUST. The quality is poor. If Russian custom firmware can make the quality of this product 10x better. I'm sure you can. Add selectable bit rate!!!!

2018-07-19	A *****	Excellent App, works great with DR590 2ch. Reads sd card fine, plays videos perfectly, controls to filter normal, impatcts or parking, front or rear. My only dislike is the nag screen wanting to upgrade, but that's not worth taking off a star IMO
