** Update, 02nd October **
Seems I now have a €229 camera, less than a month old that is 100% useless.
I took a very special - unique and unrepeatable - trip today. 2 flights, and some special people. It can never be repeated.
For discretion I filmed it on my GO.
Returning home this evening, I've tried to download the footage (iPhone 8+, iOS 13.1) and the app barely opens before it crashes. Over and over.
My footage of the day, if it's not deleted, is stuck on my Insta 360 GO (and I hoped to clear, charge & use it tomorrow - seeing friends I've not seen in a whole year - a special journey for them)
Just as horrific, I recommended this device today to so many people - a father of 5 young children. Not a monied man but the idea of filming his children, well his face just lit up. Ye gods...
Not acceptable team.
Not acceptable at all.
You see when a piece of kit like this fails, it's not just the tech but the moments stolen... and that is unforgivable - and not survivable for a brand.
** Update **
Just an hour or two after I wrote the review below, an update came through! 🥰
Stories is working fine.
I've not checked if the Bluetooth connection has stabilised.
🔥Suggestion: story themes for pets!🔥
It's a HUGE part of a huge number of people's lives! 🤗
Thanks for the very fast update team 😎👍😎

I had the pleasure of enjoying this app on iOS 12 (iPhone 8+) and it worked faultlessly, with some really great AI story edits, fantastic manual tweaks etc.
Yesterday (Sept 21st) I updated to iOS 13 ... and aside from import of my images, the app crashes on all edits - manual or AI driven.
Further, the Bluetooth functionality also crashed, over and over again, rendering the app pretty useless.
Finally, after importing -> Go camera to app -> app to iPhone photos / videos I then noticed several of my editing apps couldn't import the footage ("Error"...) Not sure if that's this apps failing however, or the editing apps I'm trying to use.
Good thing I have faith in the Insta 360 team to resolve all of this! 😍
Looking forward to updating review 👍
