Always having problems connecting to your (naked) GoPro? Furious because GoPro recently removed Protune from their app? Wanting to control multiple GoPros at once? This app ticks all the boxes! By only using Bluetooth Low Energy instead of relying on an unstable Wi-Fi connection like other similar apps do, GoPro BLE Remote can connect to your GoPro in mere seconds instead of minutes (or not at all)! Spend your time doing what you love the most, not dealing with connection issues everytime you need to change your GoPro settings. Features: • unparalleled lightning-fast connection • change any settings including Protune parameters • tried and tested by many users • control multiple cameras at once • create unlimited custom presets and apply them with a single tap • control your camera with broken Wi-Fi (especially useful for the Session line which lacks a physical screen) • compatible with Hero 5-10 & Session 5 (other models may also work) Caution: Because this app doesn't use Wi-Fi, live image preview unfortunately isn't possible. --Disclaimer-- This product and/or service is not affiliated with, endorsed by or in any way associated with GoPro Inc. or its products and services.

The app support button just takes me to FB Messenger. Help! ### 4/5 — Waiting on Hero10 support, otherwise incredible app *2021-09-27* This app is a life saver when using naked GoPros. I’ll use this to dial in the settings of my decased hero8 while I use a separate, full GoPro to check the settings/on the screen. I tied using this with the new Hero10 and while it can change settings it seems a little buggy and missing some of the frame rates. Looking forward to that being addressed in a future update! ### 1/5 — Does not work for Fusion *2021-08-22* Great idea as a workaround for Gopros terrible choice to remove protune, but it doesn’t work on the fusion and presumably the max as well which is unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Hero 4 session *2021-08-09* Won’t connect to GoPro session 4 waste of 8.99 ### 5/5 — Great app! Usually a price > functionality but not in this case *2021-05-24* Great App! Had some Bluetooth issue initially but I was able to resolve by disconnecting Bluetooth and reconnecting. My initial thought was that the Bluetooth issue was caused by my airpods. Flipping your BT option on and off is no biggie. Solid setup on the app. Interface is pretty simple But effective. Suggestions: (very use case focused) Some suggestions may be trivial but the quality of life is generally what opens pockets or Apple Pay) Naming on presets -> it would be nice if text could be auto saved after typing rather than inputting an done input from the keyboard. Initially I clicked out of it and thought it saved but it did not. -> the selections for the presets are great. I think it may be nice to add some logic for selection of the general section (resolution, frame rate, FOV and etc) For example, if I have a GoPro 9 connected and I choose 5k the frame rate selection should only show 30fps and 24fps. And so on. Not sure how it would identify if it’s a GoPro 9 or 8. I suppose that’s where it gets difficult If I select 5k at 60fps will BLE remote auto save that as 30fps (being the highest FPS possible)? ### 5/5 — Wow... *2021-05-10* This app works amazingly. ### 5/5 — won’t connect *2021-05-03* when i open the app, it says searching for gopros but doesn’t find my hero4 session. how can i fix this? ### 2/5 — Nice app but pretty sure it kills bitrate of footage *2021-04-03* I have been using this app and it’s great but in my past videos I kept seeing a decline in quality due to bitrate. Did a trip and error among many reasons what it could be and I think I found out that it was this app. There is no option on this app to set the bitrate meaning the footage could come out great or not so great. I have tried to reach out on Facebook groups to talk to someone about this problem and no one is responding so sorry, but I had to make sure others knew before buying. If you are going for quality of video, I would not buy this app until fixed **Developer response:** Sorry to hear. A few other people have been facing the issue and I have added a Bitrate option in the latest version. Would be great if you could test it again and report back. ### 5/5 — Works, but... *2021-03-30* If your GoPro doesn’t show up try tilting your phone horizontal with the screen horizon lock off. Sometimes it freezes and when you tilt your phone your gopro will become visible **Developer response:** Im very sorry to hear this. Does the app tell you to enable BT? In this case, have you tried disabling BT, then opening the app and enabling BT again from the control center while the app is already running? Otherwise if it just wont find your GoPro, pair it again via the GoPro settings > Wireless > Pair App ## Frequently asked questions about BLE Remote for GoPro ### Does BLE Remote for GoPro have ads?
