Anyone get their cams updated and registered on the new exodus app? If so, I'd like to hear how it went and what you think of the process and app.
 
I got mine registered and put them out this week. I am on the fence so far. The app has cool features such as the integration of weather/wind on each individual photo. My biggest complaint so far is just how long it takes each photo to upload. The app in general is extremely slow. I love the cameras and what the company stands for so I’m trying to have a little grace for something so new.
 
Back with an update. I have been very disappointed thus far with the new app. I am running 6 render cell cams and none of them are able to get HD photos. I reached out over 3 weeks ago and I was told that the company is aware of the problem and they are working on an update. Since that initial response I have heard nothing in terms of responding to my emails or voicemails. I really do like the cameras but the experience I’ve had with the company since the app launched has been very underwhelming. Holding out for a couple more weeks before I look for another brand for cell cameras.
 
I had two cams sent in due to problems getting them to connect with their app. One of them was caused by me when i tried registeringit with the qr code,. Got them both back but only one is working. I suspected that would happen because only one of them connected when they had it.
 
I have 9 Renders and only one that stays connected.I sent in one Render that was always blinking the blue light and ate though the batteries in no time. And one Rival that wouldn't connect to be worked on. Starting to think I need switch back to Scoutek.
 
I agree. Although I wonder how I switch back now that I put the new sims in the cameras and changed everything over??? It has been so frustrating. I am ready to offload all these cameras and move on to another brand!
 
I have the same blinking/battery issue and will be sending them in again, hopefully to be replaced. You can see the ir array staying on when the blue light is blinking. Just luckily caught that with my phone when testing them . https://saddlehunter.com/community/...s-render-battery-issues-possibly-found.58308/

I spent over $100 on batteries and double that on gas to my hunting land and shipping them back to exodus.

I talked to a guy on fb he said he put the old sim cards back in and downloaded the Firmware from the Scoutek website and his cameras are working.

Gotcha. It must be a render thing. I reached out and they knew about the issue and they told me they were working on a firmware update, “with on OTA update coming very soon”. This was back on August 23rd and I have been ghosted since…
 
It’s just tough because I have talked so highly of exodus as a company to many friends and co workers. I think they are a great group of guys and I do like the product (when it works) but I feel like the app has been a major flop at this point.
 
I have 2 of their cameras and tried switching them over the new app. Both of them ended up bricking and I did everything to the tee. I was finialy able to get ahold of somebody after much trying and he said I hadn't kept up with updating it before so it wasn't compatibel with the change over or some bs. So anyway I had to send them in. They just showed up in the mail yesterday after a month of waiting.

I think it is probably just a matter of working out bugs in the software and it will be a great app. Just sucks that it is the customer that is having to deal with it all. If it was going to release this close to season they should have just waited till after season to work through all the problems. Anybody that hasn't switched them over needs to wait till next season to do so.
