User Reviews

ZY Play is praised for remote control and tracking features when a gimbal connects, but is hampered by widespread connectivity problems, heavy permission requests, and inconsistent tracking. Users note a better experience over time, yet reliability and UX remain major issues across many Zhiyun models.

Pros

Remote control and object tracking features in ZY Play when a gimbal is successfully paired
When connected, the app's performance is solid and users can use tracking features
The app shows ongoing improvement over time and supports multiple Zhiyun gimbal models
Tracking features and remote operation are among the most valued aspects when pairing works

Cons

Frequent connectivity/pairing failures across multiple Zhiyun gimbals, with disconnects and never finding the device
Excessive permission requests (Bluetooth, Location, Camera, Microphone, Photos) and unclear privacy implications
Unreliable or broken object/selfie tracking, especially with front-facing camera; inconsistent performance
Poor UI/UX, confusing pairing flow, and gaps in model support or missing model pages in the app
Occasional freezes or onboarding glitches (terms-of-service prompts or location prompts causing the app to lock up)

I’m on vacation as I type this and frustrated. Here I am taking a really cool video in the Caribbean but all the sudden the app disconnects from my phone making my video useless. Then before I can troubleshoot the issue, it suddenly reconnects again. Please fix this.

As a hog, I have owned the smooth 4 for quite a while, I originally purchased it for around 25k-30k usd which was a great deal. I can get smooth shots on my phone, while still having enough time to hog. This is all fun and games but when it came time to link my precious smooth 4 to the app, it all went south. By this time, I had gotten into some trouble with the old smooth 4 and was a bit hesitant to hog it over to the app but… I did anyway. The app is very poorly designed and is mostly in dulanese so being a slightly overweight white American male, this was a foreign tongue. I proceeded to add my account. This process took a matter of weeks for a Luddite like myself. After all was good and done, the app wouldn’t connect to the smooth 4. How utterly disappointing. I told Sue at once and deleted the app.
