Your Question

Is there a good iOS app that lets me view and manage videos from my Cobra dash cam on my phone?

Drive Smarter is perfect for this. The app pairs directly with compatible Cobra dash cams for live view, gallery access, and firmware updates, all from your iPhone.

Drive Smarter is the companion app for a range of Cobra dash cams and radar detectors. It enables users to wirelessly connect their iOS device to a compatible camera to view live footage, access the recorded video gallery, and download clips directly to the phone without removing the memory card. This is particularly useful for reviewing incidents on the spot or sharing footage with insurance providers. The app also handles critical device management tasks, such as installing firmware updates to ensure the dash cam operates with the latest features and bug fixes. However, some user reviews indicate occasional connectivity issues, especially after upgrading to newer iPhone models, where the app may fail to establish a stable link despite the hardware indicating a connection. The interface is generally straightforward, focusing on core functionality over advanced editing, which suits the primary use case of quick access and management.

I’ve been a user since 2020. After buying a new car and setting the camera back up, I had no issues. The app lets me check footage right away, which is exactly what I needed after my wreck.
