### 3/5 — Add “shortcuts” support

*2026-08-31*

This app works well as is, but it would be far better if the app developer added “shortcuts” support for IPhone. Using multiple GoPro cameras, this app allows you to start/stop recordings easily with the press of a single button. However, since most of us probably also use a separate mic for audio recording, that needs to be activated separately. I need to be able to quickly initiate recording of both video and audio. Using “shortcuts” I can start audio recording and only open the BT-Remote app, but it would be great to add functionality to have “shortcuts” also start/stop a video recording

### 1/5 — Charge just to view media?

*2026-07-16*

Helping my grandad to view what was in the sd card of his GoPro Mini 11 which only had 4 videos. Just to view the videos to see what they are they charge you $10 right out. Deleted app and found his SD adaptor for free.

### 5/5 — Better

*2026-07-03*

Better than GP quick.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-01, version 2.0.6*

It’s cost money

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-05-05*

Well there goes $10. The Live Preview function doesn’t work. It was the only reason why I purchased the app.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-05-01*

Opaque, non intuitive, difficult to navigate or use

### 1/5 — Для всего требуют деньги

*2026-04-17*

Мне проще регион в апсторе сменить чтоб скачать официальное приложение чем разбираться с апл пеем

### 1/5 — Won’t find Hero 3 by Bluetooth

*2026-04-13*

You get a gazillion devices listed by hardware codes but no idea of which on to choose. No GoPro 3 listed, so impossible to connect. Don’t waste your time.

### 2/5 — Платное расширение не расширилось

*2026-04-05*

После совершения покупки платного расширения покупка прошла, но в приложении ничего не изменилось совершенно

### 1/5 — Purchase??

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.9*

You need to purchase a subscription to acess everything!
