Polaroid CUBE+ for Android
Decent app. Facebook Live streams in Private and there's no way to change the privacy settings. That's be something to look at fixing. It'd be nice to have live stream available on multiple social media applications. Microphone issues still exist. Will give it a 5⭐ once live streaming issue is fixed.
You're crapy app cuts off the setup instructions so I can't see the bottom row of words or the cube password. Pay "100 plus" for a camera and your 'free" app doesn't work to use it. Good job dev team.
Easy to use app. No problems so far. Ive read all the negative reviews and havent experienced anything they are talking about. So far so good. Only thing I can suggest is to delete the apps updates then delete the app and then reinstall the app. Hope that helps.Im running the 2.3.8 version on a Samsung Grand Prime.
Buggy mess: Serious connection problems with camera (with no indication of dropping other than stuff just stops working or the gallery comes up empty), and not a single file can be saved to phone sucessfully (ALL of them are corrupted when saved to phone). Playing back videos NOT stored locally usually results in green pixely mess. Cannot change wifi access password no matter what - simply cannot submit any new password. It's dissapointing since it's the only way to access key features of the camera!
This is a review for the app, not the camera. New update is terrible. Clearly a half baked release still with typos: "live steam". Now it keeps asking you to login to Facebook. But the worst is that you can no longer view the photos stored on the Cube. The cube+ itself is pretty neat. Shame that app sucks!
Never connects anymore... Unsure what the problem is but this app has completely stopped working & I haven't connected to the cube+ since. It's a shame because it's a very simple concept but for some reason... The execution is awful. Please fix this so I can use my cube +. Google pixel. UPDATE: So there's a new update that was supposed to improve bug fixes but.... it actually made the camera WORSE. You can no longer see any pics or vids you took on the camera. Also, whatever settings you made on the app erase everything the camera connects, which pretty much makes the app completely useless. Like literally useless. No words really but this is the absolute worst app ever.
Bad update. The update sticks a FACEBOOK banner across the entire bottom of the screen whether you like it or not. Waste space for something I would never use. Very annoying.
Not that good, it lags horrible when connected to my galaxy s8 inside the app. There is a good 2 second delay on movement to video. Getty that fixed and I'll give 5 stars.
I thought this would work with my Cube, which I just bought new. Only I didn't know that there's now a new one with WiFi. Can't this work with a cable connection?
April 17th 2017: The latest app and firmware update made my camera unusable by itself. The button only works now to turn on or off the device. One press does not take a photo, quick doble-press does not record video anymore. Do you realize -app developer- that an action camera should not need a phone to work?? Please fix my camera as soon as possible!! Or let me know how to revert to the previous firmware!! And then the app does not let you see any photos or videos saved in the cam's memory card, like it was possible before with previous app version. What is the point of Facebook Live streaming if all the other needed functionalities are gone!!?? Please fix as soon as possible!! Update April 18th 2017: besides de above mentioned issues, the cam does not save new photos or videos (and no, my memory card is not full).
terrible.... my first cube failed, then a replacement, now updated the new firmware. Thats a failure too.... a simple fix for AUDIO as i fly fpv drones would be appreciated. Genuinely getting a refund back on this camera as i emailed support 2 weeks ago, still no reply so the support is minimal. Overall.. spend the extra £50 and get a go pro.
I just got it two days ago. The app is not mature yet and seems to not give you the full potential. Not stable enough, I am leaning on not using the app except for viewing my fov.
Just bought the cube+. Updated the firmware and feel like I took a risk doing so going from recent reviews here but so far so good on a Google Pixel! The app itself is hit or miss however on live viewing and the playback is pretty laggy. Will update if anything changes from the initial views of it but currently might be looking at GoPro instead as responsiveness is better on their app.
Latest version fixed a lot of the issues I had pairing to a Pixel XL. Also updated the firmware and all of the time lapse functions are available. Happy with the updated app so far.
It's ok, but the last update introduced a lot of lag making it almost impossible to live view what I'm filming on my phone.
After the update, the wifi keeps disconnecting every 2 minutes and I'm unable to save anything to my phone. This is so irritating.
The new update is horrible. I can't view my videos or photos that were already stored in the memory card. I miss the old version.
Didn't expect too much, but so far so good. Not that laggy. It would be great if it was possible to live stream on Instagram too.
Offers basic camera configuration and the ability to view videos and stills currently on the camera's SD card. Annoyingly, there is a persistent Facebook login banner across the bottom of the app screen with no option to get rid of it. I don't use Facebook, so please stop shoving it in my face. Even more annoyingly, the Change Password feature does not work. Entering a new password never shows any acknowledgment or confirmation that a new password has been accepted, and the factory default password remains. This is bad for security. As users of this camera, our hands are tied, so hopefully Polaroid continues to invest in the development of this application, or at the very least they could release an API for third-party developers to use. A device that relies on a mobile app can only be as good as the mobile app allows it to be.
I love this cam wish it would have more social network live besides just face book
Stupid update, the app has a lot of lag even when ure not filming, making it very difficult, the microphone issues are still there and the only pro of the update is the recording format(mp4).
The app is ok. It still needs work. I always try to send videos to my phone but always lose the wifi connection. So much for easier transfer.
I could not read the password in the app nor would it let me scroll! A waste of money and a total pain; this sucks
Features work with much lag but app constantly closes when trying to go back from previewing the videos. Disappointed for an official app from Polaroid.
The new update my cube+ doesn't charge and doesn't turn on when I went to the app it crashed and my cube turned off please fix this
Unable to view the pictures stored on the cube by the app. Seems buggy
App is very slow, lags a lot and constantly gets disconnected. Can't download anything into my phone.
This app keeps freezing and everytime I go to record the screen turns all green on the app and doesn't show what I was actually recording very frustrating
Recent update sucks!! Losing WiFi connection and won't upload vids to my phone (old Note 3).. was working ok before update.. sort out a.s.a.p
Sometimes crashes and takes more than expected synchronizing
I cant see the password to connect to the cube
Worst app ever. Never connects to camera.
Very jumpy when i use the cam is ridiculous
Why did you screw up something beautiful with this update
I don't give negative reviews.
The last update doesn't allow me to save the pictures.
Just won't connect to android..tried all evening, sending it back to Amazon tommorow.
loses connection constantly..
Rubbish update ruined a perfectly good app!

Latest update is very bad. It says that you can live stream to Facebook but the app doesn't let me use 4g (for streaming) and WiFi (to connect to the camera) at the same time. Also the app is now noticeably slower than the previous version and alot of features don't work anymore.
