Garmin VIRB

Used to work. But no more. Shame.

Seems to work fine and connecting with my S7 Edge.

I Love it !!!

It's Great!

Unable to connect to camera. I'm sure in the mind of the developer this app serves a purpose but after an hour of trying to connect to my virb x I have given up and shall be returning the camera.

Impossible to use,fails to connect frequently and drops connection within seconds. If you need a reason to buy a gopro then this is it

Dont bother. Waste of time. Does not work. A hour of my life I will never get back......

There's no way to get the pics and vid from the machine to the phone. Literally just a viewer/remote control.

It comes in handy at times but it can be a pain in the ass when connecting to camera most times...I only use it for still shots mostly...

Very slow connecting to device....sometimes it doesn't connect at all.

When or if ever with its app be able to have playback and editing features with virb elite. Would be great

Doesn't connect to camera please fix

Make it like the computer version

Awesome, very responsive. Great job Garmin, making KC proud

App doesnt work for s7 active

Works

Help Please. I have the Virb Elite (older yes), but description here reads Frame your shot – See what your camera sees with live viewfinder....I have not found this to be true. My phone always seems to show me the Wide angle no matter what my actual camera settings are. And as I mount the camera on a 18ft poll, taking it down, hooking to my computer to see if I framed something right, not on wide angle is impractical. suggestions? |I there is a fix, the rating would go up.....but framing the camera is sorta the point of the remote control

This app does absolutely nothing for me! Only thing it will allow me to do is take a picture or turn on record. I cannot see anything but a still picture from when I open the app. No playback, no save, no live feed view of what the virb is seeing before u start recording! So frustrated with this service all the way around! I wish I could give this 0 stars. Please fix before you lose business!

I tried this app on several different devices, and the performance varies from not working at all to crashing frequently. I'm assuming it will work on a phone like the Galaxy, but if you have a cheaper device, assume it won't work or can barely be used. Very bad programming management for this company.

Thank goodness most Garmin products are better than this app. A total waste of time and system memory. Worth exactly what you pay.for it.(nothing) Guess ill go back to pushing the buttons on the camera. Yawn...

Garmin Elite camera is excellent. Easy to use with great features and results. However the app is just a glorified power hungry viewfinder that does nothing else. Sort it out Garmin, you're being trumped by cheap crap.

I had a problem with my Virb Elite disconnecting from the WiFi when my phone went into sleep mode. I adjusted my WiFi settings to continiously be connected even if my phone did go into sleep mode and now everything works 100%. I also updated my Virb's firmware to v4.00. Just wish I could play back my video's through the app on my phone and view while recording. Would also be nice to view multiple camera's (if syncronised) simultaniously.

Over a year i have had this app and my garmin virb elite, many updates, and for what, it does not work very well at all. The video library to view videos and pictures out in the field still does not work with the virb elite and the inverting the camera 180 degrees also does not work with the latest update. It works ok on the camera but not in the app. I am so fed up with garmin they cant seem to get it right. If the library works in the new cams thats great, but what about us virb elite owners huh? I am not going to go out and buy a new cam just to get the video and pictures library to work, besides if i was going to go and get a new one it would be a new go pro. Fix these issues garmin,

Just bought a Virb Elite. Can't access saved videos via the app. Pretty sure the marketing shows this. Awful

Garmin , please fix your app. It fails to stream live video on my phone

Can not save, edit, or share any videos or content. Can't even access them from app. Waste!

The gallery didnt show everything i captured. Cannot export video from gallery to smartphone. Laggy. Really disappointed.

Why no live view while recording. Makes no sense.

Hey, How about showing some android love with Live Broadcasting to YouTube on the mobile app ?

I like it.

All are fine and friendly use

Virb XE/Note 5. Not only is the new UI horrible compared to the old one, the update has reintroduced the old bug where only some of the photos/videos on your SD card appear. It has also removed the ability to export video from Virb XE in 1080p @60fps, it says 30fps is highest resolution. Still no ability to piece more than one 15min clip together, either. The only good thing about this update is the ability to save directly to a mobile device without the need for a 3rd party app, such as ES File Explorer.

Feeling completely conned. None of the facilities shown in the promoting screens are available with VIRB Elite as it doesn't support playback! The benefit of this app to Elite owners is minimal - what Garmin dont say anywhere is that you cant play Elite material through a mobile device. All too late after purchase. Really disappointed.

My camera connects to my s7 fine, then soon as I open the app it turns the wifi off on my Virb Ultra then keeps on and on trying to connect. Between not being able to use virb edits latest version due to not having a 4k video card on my pc and now not having a mobile app that works, this camera is about to get traded for a Hero 5. Its a shame cause I actually love the camera but the support and software stinks.

How do I go back to the previous version. There is a 5 secobd delay from what the camera is seeing. Plus it kills my battery if left on preview, old version did not deplete my battery as fast.

Usually works briefly then camera locks up although phone still shows wireless connection. Very dissatisfied! Just updated to later version- now works OK with my Samsung S4 phone but sadly the VIRB no longer works with my Garmin Montana! "Win some lose some!"

Virb Elite/Moto X Pure. Since the last update, the lag of the video preview went from being less than half a second to about 3-4 seconds. If I move the camera, it takes 3-4 seconds for it to update in the preview screen. Please fix this.

I have an Elite. App no longer works on live feed. The view is a still image and I am no longer to view the image on my Note 5 to adjust the shot. Bleh to this update.

Works okay on phone but with ChromeOS play store the app downloads version 1.3.1? WTF? LOL

I have a brand new Virb XE and all this app does is function as a viewfinder. None of the other functions work. It tries to upload videos via my phone (Stock Galaxy Note5), but has only completed once, seemingly because it was only a 30 second video. Can't download and save videos or pictures to my gallery and the videos I've managed to transfer to my computer via cable are choppy and horrible looking. Called Garmin and they said to push an update to it, but that didn't help. Garmin needs to fix this.
