User reviews

Absolutely positively a useless paperweight. Will not connect to IOS/ IPhone, or android..... several emails to customer support with no response.

Perfectly useless Classic example of someone making money at the start of something and then refusing to plough some of that back into R&D, firmware and software updates. The app is hopeless irrespective of the phone and the Pulse refuses to recognise any of my cameras despite updated drivers and the latest firmware. Some amazing apps and devices out there to remotely help you take images. Pulse isn't one of them.

Paradoxically, 2021-11-03

Finally arrived yesterday, strange that it's iOS firmware based and won't let my android update... Time lapse works fine, but only one feature 'exposure ramping', adds to the disappointment along with the Bluetooth issues
