Questions to ask first
What Yi iot does
Yi iot is a companion app for viewing and interacting with compatible Yi IoT cameras. It lets you watch a live camera feed, pan around the view using your phone, and speak through the camera’s two-way audio. Motion detection can send alerts to your phone, and supported cameras can save video and audio to an SD card.
It may suit someone who already owns an international-version Yi IoT camera and wants to check on a room, home, or family member remotely. The app is not intended for China-version YUNYI Smart Cameras; those require a different app.
Before you choose it
This app is useful only as part of a camera setup. If you do not have a compatible camera, its main functions will not apply. The camera and network also affect what you can see and how smoothly the live feed plays; the app adjusts streaming quality to suit network conditions.
Some advertised capabilities depend on the camera model. For example, the reference information describes motion alerts and SD-card recording, with storage support up to 32GB. Check your camera’s specifications rather than assuming every feature is available with every device.
Who is behind it
The listed developer is Kami HK. Yi iot is in the Video Players & Editors category, has more than 10 million installs, and has a rating of 2.48 from 126,082 ratings. Those figures show that many people have tried it, while the low average rating is a reason to read recent user feedback and consider whether the app meets your needs.
A question worth asking
Before adding another app, consider whether you need remote viewing and camera alerts often enough to keep it. If you stop using the camera, ask whether you can also remove the app and any related account or saved settings without losing anything you still need.
