User Reviews

User reviews show the app’s main value only when it connects to the Yi M1 camera, which many say it fails to do consistently on iOS. Recurrent connectivity issues, long-term neglect (no updates), and compatibility problems with newer iOS/iPhone models are the dominant concerns. Performance can be laggy, with features like templates and login not working. Support is frequently described as unresponsive. The camera hardware is praised, but the app’s reliability and maintenance need substantial improvement.

Pros

When it connects, the app provides remote control and live preview capabilities for the Yi M1 camera.
The Yi M1 camera hardware is excellent, making the app valuable when paired correctly.
The app has a solid feature set and shows potential; some reviewers call it a great app when it works.
Some users remember it once worked well on certain iOS versions/devices, indicating potential reliability under the right conditions.

Cons

Repeated failure to connect or recognize the camera on iOS devices (connectivity problems are the most cited issue).
Lack of ongoing maintenance: no updates for years, leading to obsolescence and compatibility problems.
Compatibility issues with newer iPhone models and iOS versions (e.g., iPhone 12/13, iOS 11+).
Unstable performance: lag, slow response, inability to use features like templates or login, and WiFi pairing problems.
Poor customer support and lack of timely responses to issues.

Recent reviews

Still no support for iPhone 12 and newer devices. Very disappointed seeing that the camera itself takes very good photos. Would like to use my iPhone 13 as a remote though.

App doesn’t recognize camera, even when camera says it’s connected to the phone.

This app is no longer tended to whatsoever. It has seen nary an update in two years, and Apple has updated their iOS a myriad times in the same span. This behavior on the part of the manufacturer has rendered the product to which this is mated as obsolescent. Shame on the manufacturer.
