For action sports enthusiasts, the TomTom Bandit was a pioneer, famous for its "shake-to-edit" feature that turned hours of raw footage into a highlight reel in seconds. However, as of October 31, 2020, TomTom officially discontinued the Bandit smartphone app and Bandit Studio desktop software, removing them from the App Store and Google Play.

Conclusion: The Verdict for 2021
Do not throw your TomTom Bandit away. The hardware is still waterproof, durable, and has a great battery life. However, you must change your workflow.
