Well I know my OG X-Sight is not the newest most hi tech unit in the stable. It used to do a lot of things that it won't do anymore. Given the price when I bought this unit, it was something I would only buy once. I've barely used it to be honest but now have lost the ability to live feed to my Android Device. No more access to set up menus or make any device changes. Literally the features that I wanted when i blew money on this thing are. I can see video and pictures with the app. THAT'S IT!

Ok, so as a performance tester in the IT World, I like the app. It does what is designed, although the not as intuitive as it should be for retail users (you and I), I able to connect via Bluetooth and Wifi to my Galaxy S9 and Kindle Fire 8 (7th Gen) . The streaming of the video is pretty neat and the ability to set the configuration from Wifi connection from phone/tablet to scope is handy. The options within the scope is a nice to have. I admit I like the ability to see 100 yards out with pretty good clarity to identify animal with the 850 IR that mounts to the side of the scope. Now that I have mentioned the good things about scope, let me mention the bad the side. The Bluetooth function is no good, you'll want to use the Wifi, not sure why they put that function on this. You only have System menu and Environment settings only available for bluetooth. Also, you'll have to your your phone sides to see the options on the screen for either/or wifi / bluetooth due to the way they made the app. All in all, it's a good concept but definitely needs refinement to make it more user friendly for us consumers.

The app works decent most of the time. My issue is, if the video/audio recorded with the xsight 2 is a specific format, why not have a video/audio reader that will play both video AND audio in YOUR app? Why do I have to find an outside program (VLC) to try to transfer the video to just so I can hear the audio from it? It's a huge inconvenience, especially since it's ATN's app.
