Half the time the phone can't even connect to the cam, live view just barely works (when it does), the UI is clunky, and it is more and more shamelessly trying to push me to their expensive cloud subscription. Seriously, if I had to show the footage to a police officer after an event, I'd have to fiddle with the new app forever, or pop the micro SD card (which is just slighty less difficult than reinserting it, an absolute PITA) and use a notebook to transfer and view raw files... well I don't carry the notebook with me all the time, so that won't work...

Even though the hardware is high quality and reliable, unfortunately in OP's shoes I would stay away from Blackvue for this reason alone.
