### 5/5 — Exceeds Value

*2026-07-30*

I’m a new GoPro user, and I did not want to spend money on the remote and have another thing to keep up with. I want to start recording from my Apple Watch and upon searching, this is it! Amazing story too of the developer being a user like me! Thank you for making this!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-06-04*

Your apps amazing. Works better than GoPros version. Works perfectly with my new Mission 1 pro.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2026-01-06*

My GoPro is installed in my airplane where I can’t reach it. I use this app to turn the power on/off and start the video. A nice future update would be the ability to see what it is filming on my watch.

### 1/5 — Wait for Hero13 controls.

*2025-12-29*

Would be nice if it supported Hero13.  Just wasted $5 until it does.

### 5/5 — Great on Apple Watch Ultra

*2025-08-20*

Quick setup with GoPro Hero 13 Black. Works as advertised. Happy with the purchase!

I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and was a bit stuck figuring out how to use this with the action button because this app is watch only. Basically I wanted to see if I could use the app with my ski gloves on, which means no fiddly screen touches.

I figured it out that by setting up a new shortcut for text “Action Control” and then adding an “open” field in the shortcut and linking that back to the text I could get the action button to open the app but that didn’t actually start the recording.

Fortunately the app developer also built in the double tap to start/stop function in the settings so once I turned that on I was good to go without touching the screen.

So now, the action button on my watch opens this app and I just double tap my fingers on the watch hand to start recording! Gotta say I’m pretty happy and this is way easier that messing around with the expensive GoPro remote.

### 1/5 — Lost the connection and the App

*2025-07-07*

First I lost the connection and tried to reset without luck. Then I removed the app from watch and now can’t re-install.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry to hear that. You can always reinstall application from the AppStore within Apple watch itself.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-07-01*

Want my money back

**Developer response:** We are really sorry to hear that. Could you tell us more what didn't you like?

### 1/5 — Does not work with GoPro Hero 13

*2025-06-14*

The Watch App doesn’t support the GoPro Hero13. The latest version listed in the app to connect to is Hero12.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We are working on solving that issue.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-06-08*

Installation when flawlessly with my GoPro 10, nice UI, and it works with double tap on my ultra two. A big thanks really worth the money and no plan to subscribe love it.

**Developer response:** Thank you a lot for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Great application for the price

*2025-06-03*

This app is amazing at minimizing the need to adjust and reach for your GoPro. I used it at a music festival while propping the camera on a 16 foot pole. Having the ability to control the camera from my watch was amazing because I don’t have to do bring it down and turn it on and all that fun stuff. The displayed information is also useful to know when I need to swap batteries or keep an eye on the storage.

Seriously, this is worth the price. I’d heavily recommend it to anyone looking to minimize hassling with the camera itself if it’s stationary and you don’t want to physically push buttons.
