Pros and cons of YI Action app for iPhone and iPad

YI Action app good for

Thank you xiaomi! Great cam and great app! Maybe you can work on the energy consumption when wifi is On now?! Because battery drain so fast!
I love this app however it need a french langage when there is a french langage i will put five stars
Very nice app! Very nice camera! But i would really appreciate if the xiaoyi app will support French! Thanks!
Im very satisfied of this camera but the application was at first only in Chinese. To change it to English to just have to go to settings then general settings then language and country and then you will find the list of the preferred language used by application. You have to select English as first or French then English so that the application recognize the language.
The instructional videos are in Chinese but the user manual and all other aspects of the app are in perfect English. Its a good camera. No optical or digital zoom on it. Strong fish eye effect. Sony CMOS sensor. Comparable or better than GoPro Hero 3. For a fraction of the price. Except for the protective cases all other parts are interchangeable with go pro attachments. Check out Chinese websites to buy this camera and Go Comparable accessories.
I like it...theres a lot of update making the app more and more better!

Some bad moments

The streaming since the last camera ´s fw is impossible between ipad and the camera.
I dont know if it is a new version but all precepts are in mandarin. Impossible to make it work. Need French or English at least (as said in the description of the app)
The app worked fine until 3.0 update. It is now impossible to turn off Auto Low Light or to change video quality
Beware with the "watercolor" option in the "picture editing" screen!!! Your phone will freeze and wont be operating for the next 10 minutes (i decided to manually restart my device and not wait more) Im using iPhone 5S 64GB USA. I noted that even with a different design, the App still has the same bugs that it previously had! Devs, please! Your work is important! Take care of that things ok?
App is almost useless because you cant play the videos you made with the cam! If they would fix this i would rate it 5 stars.
Since the last update, there are no settings for the video timelaps anymore(intervall for 2,5,10sec....). It was my favorite feature. Please fix it!
