Advance your skiing with automatic video!

It’s all about one thing... Advance your skiing with automatic video! Wakeye is a powerful water ski app designed to automatically capture every moment on the water. Simply set your speed and your iPhone or iPad Mini ( only with GPS) will start video recording when your boat reaches the set speed. When you slow down or stop, it will stop recording. Designed to be used with the Wakeye iPhone and iPad mounts, to create the complete video package for water skiing and wakeboarding (www.wakeye.com).

Wakeye’s goal is to ensure you capture only the skiing or wakeboarding you need or want. Using GPS speed it will know when to start recording and when to stop. You won’t have to worry about someone else pushing the record button anymore.

Easy zoom controls let you bring the skier right into the frame.

With a simple to use playback mode, you can delete, run or save into your library for you to edit or share later on.

User Reviews

Wakeye is valued for its auto-recording concept and for reducing missed runs during boat-based practice, but it is repeatedly hampered by reliability problems, device compatibility issues, and limited file management. Users report crashes, black boxes, mid-run stops, and poor performance on various iPhones, plus a lack of support and infrequent updates. The app also overrides many native camera controls, reducing user flexibility. Overall, it’s a promising idea that works inconsistently and needs stable updates, better device compatibility, and improved file organization features.
Pros
  • Auto recording mode starts and stops at a preset speed, which is helpful during practice.
  • Reduces missed runs by recording automatically, so you don’t have to press record every time.
  • Offers hands-free boat-based video capture that can be valuable for training and competition practice when it works.
Cons
  • Reliability issues: the app often fails to record, crashes, or shows a black box that crashes the app.
  • Compatibility and performance problems on newer/older devices (poor performance on recent iPhones, iPhone X, iPhone 7) and an overall outdated app that needs updating.
  • The app overrides native camera controls (zoom, frame rate, resolution), limiting user control compared to the built-in camera.
  • Poor file management: cannot delete multiple files at once; no automatic date/time grouping, making it hard to organize sessions.
  • Lack of support and slow/unclear update cadence; users feel there is little help available and updates are overdue.

Ditto to the prior review from. 4 years ago. Does not archive the video or, gets a black box that when you open it crashes the app.

Love this app when it works ! But no one to call or help you get it figured out ? ………. Before I’d just delete it and start over, now it just spins and won’t record ????

This works sometimes. It should record video to the normal iPhone video app and allow slo-mo. Updated app needed.
