### 1/5 — No

*2023-06-27*

Just no

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2023-06-11*

Can not view photos and videos on GoPro. Not worth purchasing

### 1/5 — Kann nix

*2023-03-17*

Wollte mal ausprobieren und das kostet dann mal 2,49€ . Soll die GoPro suchen und das kostete dann schon. Frechheit. Mal sehen ob ich denn Kauf Rückerstattung bekomme.

### 1/5 — Didn’t connect to Go Pro Hero (2018)

*2023-02-28*

Couldn’t get it to work with my old GoPro

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2022-10-26*

Not to be disrespectful, but I wasn’t expecting much with a two dollar extension per GoPro camera. I had trouble connecting Wi-Fi. As the preview window would not work saying that it was a firewall problem.

### 1/5 — null funktion

*2022-08-17*

kann nix, macht nix, findet die gopro nicht..

### 1/5 — Not working with hero 3

*2022-08-16*

Not working !!

### 3/5 — Alles gut aber ein paar Aussetzter

*2021-12-27*

Ich finde die App sehr gut und sie funktioniert auch sehr gut mit meiner neuen Go Pro Hero 3. ich habe nur auszusetzen, dass die App auf Englisch ist und noch viel mehr, dass sie keine Familienfreigabe unterstützt und ich deswegen den Inapp-Kauf für dir Kamera auf meinem iPhone UND auf meinem iPad kaufen muss

### 1/5 — 無料？なのか？

*2020-02-01*

インストール自体は無料
目的のカメラに接続するには有料？
意味わからん

### 1/5 — Зачем Лайт версия, если всё нужно покупать?

*2019-12-15*

Про максимально простой дизайн, сделаный программистом я молчу. Главное, чтобы работало хорошо, но в упрощенной версии нельзя ни чего проверить, так как для подключения камеры нужно скачать какие то настройки.

Автор, сделай хотя бы пробный период на пару дней, но в такой версии смысла нет.
