## Review summary

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)
