User Reviews

User reviews consistently flag the Porsche dashcam iPhone app as unreliable and hard to connect. Many report repeated failures to connect, needing workaround steps and dealer visits without lasting success. Connection reliability also varies by network/carrier. A few positives appear: video quality is good when connected, and footage can be retrieved from the microSD card even if the app isn’t connected. Overall, the app lags behind expectations and needs significant reliability and UX improvements.
Pros
  • When the app connects, video quality is good.
  • Once connected, the dashcam/app connection can be stable for the session.
  • Footage can be retrieved from the microSD card even if the app isn’t currently connected.
Cons
  • Chronic connectivity problems: the app often cannot connect to the dashcam, with many users reporting failure even after dealership help.
  • Poor UX/UI: the app is not intuitive and has error-prone behavior, with settings often greyed out.
  • Requires workaround steps (disabling Wi‑Fi, CarPlay, Bluetooth, cellular data, airplane mode) to get it to connect, with reliability still inconsistent.
  • Performance varies by network/carrier (e.g., works on some carriers like Verizon but not others).
  • Initial setup may require an Android device and does not work smoothly on iPhone.

Hard to connect with devices

Have the Dashcam a few days. It is a real pain to connect to the app if it does connect! For an expensive camera, cables , installation it sucks!

It’s certainly not the easiest app to connect. The trick is to turn on airplane mode, disconnect from any surrounding WiFi and disable Apple CarPlay. Once these are all set, open the app and it works just fine. The video quality is good and clear.
