### 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

### 2/5 — Платное расширение не расширилось

*2026-04-05*

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

### 4/5 — Needs better support & instructions

*2026-01-24*

It would be nice if this app supported Akaso 360 camera as well.

### 1/5 — Just a scam!!!!!!!

*2026-01-08, version 1.3.9*

For $6.99 for nothing... nothing works, just a scam.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-01-02*

Everything you press and try to put in it just won’t work

### 1/5 — Won’t connect with GoPro

*2025-11-28, version 1.3.9*

Can’t connect to either GoPro Camera!  Worthless App

### 1/5 — No instructions!

*2025-11-06, version 1.3.9*

Impossible to figure out without any instructions

### 1/5 — Hero 5 Session

*2025-10-19*

This app will not work, it’s either too complex, confusing, will not pair correctly with my Hero 5 Session, it will only turn it own, i tried to go for WiFi instead of Bluetooth and can’t read open spaces, it requires you to enter the WiFi network manually, just a frustrating app and money down the garbage can in just a few minutes. I can’t believe i fell for this.

### 2/5 — Was not good

*2025-09-15, version 1.3.7*

I payed 7$ for this app and I can’t even connect my camra to it

### 1/5 — Фи**я полная !

*2025-09-15*

Пустая трата денег! Связь с 11 go pro постоянно прерывается , скачать видео целое мучение ! Скачивается раза с 10-го, а в галерею фиг сохранишь , танцы с бубном нужно устраивать и то не факт что сохранишь .

### 1/5 — No instructions!

*2025-05-13, version 1.3.4*

Hard to figure out without any instructions

### 1/5 — Way too cumbersome

*2025-05-02, version 1.3.4*

I’m not impressed with how much work it is to sync the AP with the camera.  This should be simple and it’s not.

### 1/5 — Connection

*2025-04-26*

Hi, its taken ages to link two cameras, not very user friendly, especially as its a paid app

### 1/5 — No connection when it counts

*2025-04-15*

Very bad app

### 1/5 — Charged me

*2025-04-02, version 1.3.4*

I didn’t sign up and they charged me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect reliably

*2025-03-30, version 1.3.4*

Trash

### 2/5 — Most functions don’t work

*2025-03-23*

Most functions don’t work with Hero4 but you can’t find this out until you pay for the app

### 1/5 — Нерабочее приложение

*2025-03-18*

С 8 го про не работает.  Шляпа полная.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Purchase??

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.9*

You need to purchase a subscription to acess everything!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-02-20, version 1.3.9*

This app sucks

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2026-02-11*

As soon as you try to do anything, you have to pay for the full license what’s the point of a free app if you have to buy the food license?

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-22, version 1.3.9*

I was charged multiple times even after deleting the app.

### 5/5 — Better

*2026-07-03*

Better than GP quick.

### 5/5 — 下次更新可以支持中文嘛

*2025-07-21*

下次更新可以支持中文嘛

### 5/5 — Alte Hero 3 unterstützt

*2025-01-30*

Habe noch eine alte Hero 3, welche mit der aktuellen Quick App nicht mehr unterstützt wird. Mit BT Remote kann ich die Cam ohne Probleme wieder nutzen und konfigurieren. Das war mir die 7,99 Euro wert. Die App erstellt sich ja nicht von selbst!

### 5/5 — Софтина за 6$ или аналог gopro quik?

*2024-07-29*

Программа работает, чтоб открыть все функции, а не просто включить и выключить запись, пришлось купить платную версию, чтоб можно было смотреть файлы с ipad, и это вполне неплохо.
По дизайну слабее оригинального софта, если файлы не открываются, проверьте обновления на камере.
Gopro можно обновить через официалку на андроиде, apk в сети есть.
Превью дает посмотреть, качество в превью не очень, но превью и не особо важно в экшнкамере как по мне.
Настраивается и подключается без особых проблем
Вывод:
Для основных задач, если не вдаваться в подробности, хватает, конкурентов нет, кроме официалки, но в РФ их нет так что пользуемся и наслаждаемся.

### 5/5 — Great app to control GP11 while its mounted

*2024-05-15*

The app been a great help. However, I need to open up my mobile phone to control.. it’s already a great feature but we just keep wanting more. now, I want an Apple Watch version of this app so that I don’t have to take out my phone. Developer, please think about it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-15*

This so far has been the best app. Only one that I can see has the preview functionality. Only wish is to be able to change camera names. I use all four cameras on a regular bases and would love to name each camera separately. Otherwise. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Die richtige App um Fotoboxen zu bauen

*2022-12-31*

Super App und Entwickler. 
Ich habe auf Grund eines Problems Herrn Meyer direkt angeschrieben. Dieser hat sehr schnell geantwortet und meine Idee aufgenommen und innerhalb von einer Woche (über Weihnachten wohlgemerkt!) umgesetzt.

Ich wollte mit meinem iPad und meiner GoPro eine Fotobox bauen, die mit einem Standardauslöser bedient werden sollte. Diese lösen leider über die Lautertaste aus, was von der Quick-App im Vorschaumodus nicht unterstützt wird. Eine GoPro Fernbedienung zu verwenden kam für mich nicht in betracht, da diese einen zu großen Befehlsrahmen bietet und Nutzer die Einstellungen der Fotobox ändern könnten, was zu einem Störung im Rahmen der Nutzung führen würde. Mit dieser App ist es nunmehr möglich über die Einstellungen im Startmenü die Lauter-Taste zu belegen und so auch Fotos auslösen zu lassen.

**Developer response:** Danke für Ihr Feedback!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-10*

Great app!!!! So simple and easy to use. Great job

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — The only app that works reliably

*2022-08-01*

After fooling with with GoPro’s software for hours, this app works as advertised.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Ehsan
