## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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.

### 4/5 — Best app for GoPro lite

*2024-05-17*

I can’t seem to get 8:7 to work on the GoPro 11 or 12 on the app. Otherwise, this has been my go to for controlling my settings quickly and reliably while on set.

### 4/5 — Can’t figure out presets…

*2021-10-04*

Amazing app. Just can’t figure out how to add presets. 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!

### 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?

### 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

### 5/5 — Thank God!

*2021-02-03*

This is now the only way to change Protune settings for GoPro sessions due to GoPros recent firmware updates.

### 5/5 — Support this dev!

With the latest news about GoPro this app has become essential!

### 5/5 — This solves all your naked go pro problems!!!

*2020-10-08*

A must buy, don't skip out on this easy solution!!! Thank you guys ☺️☺️☺️

### 5/5 — A must for a naked GoPro

*2020-09-24*

Super fast, lots of camera options and it’s using low power fast Bluetooth instead of the unrealiable WiFi.

### 5/5 — Much better than the official gopro app

*2020-09-22*

This is FAST and works every time with my naked hero 6
