AKASO DV allows you to see what your camera sees on your smartphone or tablet in real time. You will be able to take pictures and record videos by using your mobile device as a WiFi remote. Editting your videos on the app is enabled. You can record a 10s short movie and edit it with the tools in the 10s Movie mode. Besides, download videos or pictures to your mobile device is convenient on AKASO DV app.
I purchased the V50 instead of a GoPro for the same reason everyone does - $$. Overall I am pleased because it captures video great. Software and firmware is another story - you can see where Akaso cut corners. We could connect wirelessly to view pics and video on the camera with limited functionality. We wanted to view the videos from snorkeling on vacation but we couldn’t view in full screen on iPhone 7 - in portrait the video size is only about 10% bigger so why do it. It crashes randomly and we couldn’t save any 4K videos longer than 2 minutes. We hope the software functions well on other models and that AKASO invests in a QA resource.

Best app for the job
All you do is turn on your camera then pick witch one it is and Connect the phone to the cameras and Internet turn the Wi-Fi on on your camera it will say a password and the Internet name go onto your phone and go onto that Internet and then put in that password that is available on the camera screen. Then you can see all of the pictures and videos . You can also see what your camera is capturing right then and there so easy to set up like I said just turn on camera the tap on the right model of camera that is the same as your this is the ONLY one that works I was sitting there for three hours trying to find out what app to use and how to do stuff like that but then I found this app then it took two seconds

Good but one problem
I think this is a very good app. It works in all areas except one-importing videos and pictures to your device. Whenever I download a long video to my iPad, it takes a while and some times either the camera or your device dies and it doesn’t finish. The app thinks the video is already imported, but it is not and when I recharge the device or camera, It immediately says its already imported so it doesn’t import it again. I never get those videos imported ever. Please fix.

Easy Download when it connects
I give the app 4/5. I only use the app to download the raw videos directly from the SD card when I am abroad. It’s over WiFi so it’s not that fast, but it is exactly what I am looking for. I can also download my DJI footage over the built in app as well. This is faster than DJIs software. Sometimes connecting to the WiFi is difficult, but once it connects it is solid. I usually leave my phone and camera plugged in for an hour and can transfer over 4gb of footage in that time.

Acceptable hardware with a terrible app
The hardware is cheap compared to current GoPros but it is more like the Hero4 or 5 in terms of the camera. The app on the other hand is not usable. I frequently can’t connect to the camera. When I do if either the phone or camera are not constantly touched to stay active you loose the connection. This would not be so bad but reconnecting the system re downloads all the videos and you end up with a mess of duplicates to delete. If you plan to use your phone to share video do your self a favor and get a different brand of camera as this application is not makes the system unusable for those on the go.

Works ok I guess
Bought this for a drone recovery mission to mount on a pole looking down to scan a wooded area without having to fight my way in first. Pretty much useless to me in that respect when the WiFi view is only 1/4 of the screen. It does work though, and video looks good but it’s pretty irritating there’s not a full screen button when you’re viewing the camera in real-time.

The worst app to ever exist
When I try to take videos through the app it crashes. When I try downloading a video it crashes. Sometimes it will say “video not supported” when I try to view the videos I already recorded. If I close the app and open again it is flawless for 10 seconds.
When I push the camera shutter button on the app it has a loading sign that stays there...then the app crashes.
Trying to mount it to a drone and see through my mobile app.
Wasn’t worth the camera purchase. Is there another app that is compatible with this camera?
Yuleluder,
Recording issues through app
I’ve noticed when recording through the app that the recording stops intermittently. This is a problem when mounting the camera in higher places and needing to use the app the see my viewing angle and then recording. If you manually press the record button on the camera recording is uninterrupted. There must be a recording bug with the app. AKASO Please fix with update.
NotOrly,
Slow/random crashes/ buggy
I can see how this platform tries to give u more usability with the camera but inconsistencies within the framework of the app is something that the company hasn’t been trying to fix actively and for the price paid for any akaso product (i got the v50pro) the user should be able to at least be able to download more than the pictures, still havent been able to download a video to my own device, it either crashes restarts or downloading never really goes there. Dissatisfied.
Not a Fan...anymore,
Absolute garbage
This is in no way a reflection of the camera itself but this app is absolute garbage. Downloaded today and connected my iPhone to it to download pictures/videos. After downloading 3 pictures, the app crashes. Trying to play a video from the app and it, it crashes. Tried to download videos to my phone and guess what? You guessed it, the app crashes. Why even put something out that OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT WORK! Just pull the card and move them over that way. This thing is complete garbage all the way around.
