YI Action - YI Action Camera

Useless! Absolutely will not connect to my phone (on Android 8.1 Oreo) making the camera useless! It will connect to an older version of Android (marshmallow) on a tablet, so maybe the developer needs to update compatibility to newer versions of Android.

Connection to Yi 4K+ camera is very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, 5GHz does not work at all. Camera is on latest firmware.

Wanted to like this, but absolute garbage. Won't connect to the camera.... Avoid!!.…. #nexus6p

Need to fix the connection. Previously, it was easily to connect. Tried follow the instructions for several times, still didn't work.

Great camera but cannot connect using new Note 8. IOS connects with no problems.

Whenever I want to edit any video, the app freezes.

Garbage. Cannot connect to the camera!

Can't connect to camera n can't login before update

Differentiate the shutter button with a remote. I need a 3s timer on the camera shutter button but remote shutter button capture immediately (not timer)

It is very hard to connect with my camera

I am loving it

Nice

Couldn't get it to connect until I found this tip online. Disable mobile data/turn on airplane mode then enable wifi. Should connect fine now. Seems to be an issue with the way android Handles connecting to wifi without data. Hope this helps other users facing same issue

Have not been able to connect for months. No support. No answers. I suggest people buy a go-pro. The price is more but you do get support from people who are involved in the products,

Terribly unreliable. Takes too long to connect and frequently fails to do so. Some photos fail to download and there's no retry option. You have to keep track of the failing ones and readd them to the download queue. This can be challenging if you're bulk downloading tens of photos at once.

Edit: the update has fix pretty much all the issues. The only thing missing now which is missed is the option for high dynamic range shooting the same as the go pro hero cameras. Is this in the firmware pipeline? My understanding is the chipset is capable of doing this.

It doesn't work so I can't use the camera. No slow motion, can't change the settings. Very disappointed. Hope you will solve soon.

I have been having trouble connecting it with the camera, it crashes a lot of times. I really hope it improves soon because everything else works just fine. Thank you.

There's a problem when connecting and accessing files to a mobile. Mobile internet and WiFi issues have crept in. It worked properly earlier. Facing this problem since 4 5 months now. Please look into this as files can't be accessed even when connected to mobile. It says "couldn't connect to the internet, please try again."

Needs an update. Can't connect to the wifi anymore now that I'm on 8.1 Oreo. Until that happens, this review is 1 star. Useless.

Dear Yi Action Dev Tram, Please fix the bug on firmware 1.8.9.. I can not browse both photos and videos from my phone.. :'( The wifi (both phone and camera) will disconnect, then the camera will idle/freeze (I can't operate and turn it off) Thanks a lot guys! I'm waiting for the new firmware now.. :'(

Busy with many useless features. Very tedious to use, needs to have the social media garbage removed (or at least it should be possible to disable it). It's bad enough that I returned the camera.

I cannot get it to connect via the WiFi AT ALL. I've tried everything it's said (restart camera, forget WiFi connection and readd, uninstall app and reinstall). This is very frustrating being on a vacation and not being able to use my camera.

If you have a Yi action camera, this app is a must have app. This app provides functions that I need. Even sometime there's an issue with the phone-action cam wifi connectivity. Yi produces a great cam, so improve this app, make it even better. Keep it up!

I can't even connect to the camera since i update this app at least 4 months ago and I've been trying everyday, i was a happy user long time ago

Well, I have only been able to connect via WiFi two times and both times it would freeze then not connect again. Haven't been able to connect since. Tried deleting the app/reinstalling + updating firmware via micro SD on the camera with no success... This was the main highlight for me and I'm disappointed... Can someone answer if turning mobile data off is the solution? I have not tried this yet, but I cannot see the camera in WiFi setting either... Does this seem to be the same situation or does the camera seem to be defective? UPDATE - 9/8/17 After working with you we have determined the camera was defective. They have been very helpful in determining the culprit of the problem now I'm curious if I should update the firmware on the new device it is currently (1.1.7) I believe and the newest is (2.x.x)? UPDATE AGAIN - SAME DAY 9/8/17 I just tried to reconnect and now I'm connecting via WiFi but the "action" app will not allow connection... I manually put-in the password as well in the wifi settings...

Cannot play the video via app after lastest firmware update. It says 'connect to the Internet and try again'. Please fix it ASAP

UPDATE : found my way around and finally able to stream. Don't expect using it with OBS as there is a lot of lag but overall, it does the job if you are not mixing with other sources.

Worthless now. Can't connect at all anymore. After update, same stupid mobile data issue. How hard can it be?

Latest update force closes on HTC U11. Jams up memory and causes phone to freeze.

Doesn't connect to my brand new note 8. Pretty busy app. Hard to navigate.

can never get it to connect. can't change settings. it ssucks

please repair yout time and date issue when i changed the battery the time and date stamp restart to 2008-01-01 date and 00:00:00 time

After i updated in this version, my yi cam so hard to connect with my android device, and after downgrading version, it's so easy to connected yi cam with my android device. So please fix it soon.

Yi 4K+ is true game changer. Can stream Live on Facebook @ 720P. YouTube can stream 1080P. Hope will add 1080P to Facebook Live Streaming very soon :)

Can't connect it to my camera. Useless

Thanks Yi, for oftenly updates firmware of the Yi 4k. Not like the competitor who seldomly had any updates after its releases

Yi technology,inc can i pair my Chinese lime green coloured action cam to this app?? If yes then how

One of best action cameras available in the market, competing gopro hero 4 at almost half of its price.
