UPDATE: iOS app cannot connect to camera (before: camera works fine. App must work).

UPDATE October 16, 2019: After iOS 13 update or Goluk iOS 3.0.0 app, Goluk iOS app can no longer connect to my T2 camera. My iPhone XR successfully connects to the T2 camera's WiFi hotspot, but the Goluk iOS app can no longer connect to the T2 camera. Hope this gets fixed quickly. In the meantime, I'll subtract the stars. The camera is very small and fits perfectly behind the rear view mirror. It's easy to install and set up, and makes great, crisp movies that you can easily (some automatically) download to your phone over Wi-Fi. Now I keep my windshield clean. :) Cons: * I bought the T2 instead of the T1 because the T2 is black and I thought it would be less noticeable on the outside of the car. Unfortunately, the shiny chrome ring around the lens negates all the camouflage that gives it the all-black color, and the glowing blue "Goluk" light at the end doesn't help much either (see attached photos). We need to cover them somehow.* It would be nice if there was a way to disconnect the camera while keeping it connected to the network. This would allow them to photograph their surroundings if necessary. You can just flip it over while it's in the mount, but when it's behind a mirror like mine you only get film on the back of the mirror. * The Goluk app (iOS) is used to log into the Goluk cloud. Server and video sharing. I don't care and I'm glad you don't have to sign up to use the camera. Unfortunately, _every time you start the app_ you have to refuse login before you can continue.* The app's home screen forces you to choose _every time you start the app_ whether you have a Goluk camera or just just want to browse. I'm not sure why you used the app if you didn't have a camera. It's just another screen to go through before the app can be used as a camera viewer.* The app will not launch on the Connect to Camera screen. It starts on the "Here are the videos others have shared" screen. Again, I'm only interested in using the app to control and monitor the camera, not sharing my videos and/or watching other people's videos. This is another screen that you must go through _every time you start the app_ before the app can be used as a camera viewer. It would be nice if you could customize the home screen, or at least start on the screen you left. The last three "features" above increase the amount of time one has to sit in a running machine and get the application into a usable state every time. You start the car (if you want to see what the camera sees, or have it automatically download video of events to your phone as they happen). I'd like to be a little quicker. Edit: Added photos
