### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht oder nur extrem eingeschränkt

*2026-02-13*

Diese App verspricht mehr als sie halten kann. Die Verbindung zu der App war mir weder mit einer GoPro 9, 10 oder 12 möglich. Im Grunde funktioniert diese App nicht.

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2026-01-10*

Is it possible to automatically update the camera time upon connection? Thank you!

### 5/5 — A real pleasure

*2025-10-01*

The best , not trying to sell you anything . Feels good and  is features full !

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT APP

*2025-07-18*

This app is brilliant. Harald is quick to reply and to help. I asked if he could implement the direct download of media to iOS camera roll and within a few days he’d done that. Buy it !

### 4/5 — Genau das was ich gesucht habe!

*2025-07-11*

Eine tolle App zum steuern mehrerer GoPros…  Ich hoffe die Entwicklung geht weiter

das einzige was noch toll wäre wenn die app auch gopros finden würde die schon im Wlan verbunden sind ..

### 1/5 — Product with potential with no support

*2025-01-09*

I came across the following issues:
- When time lapse/photo/raw is chosen the download manager does not ‘see’ the gpr file.  It only sees the jpg files.
- There are several features that I do not understand such as “toggle’ option.  No explanation is available.
- I asked to transfer the license to a different platform.  I was told it was not a problem but when I followed up with a request for help, I never heard from them.

Overall a product with potential with no support and not ‘finished’ for the general user.

### 1/5 — App fehlerhaft, kein Support

*2024-11-14*

Die teure App hat Fehler (Verbindungsabbrüche oder kein Zugriff auf Media-Files). Support seitens des Herstellers wurde abgebrochen. Rückerstattung verweigert. Ärgerlich wie wenig der Hersteller an Qualität und Kundenzufriedenheit interessiert ist. Keine Kaufempfehlung.

### 1/5 — Software fehlerhaft, Supprt uwrde abgebrochen

*2024-11-13*

Achtung, bei älteren Geräten  (Hero3) funktioniert die App nicht fehlerfrei (Verbindungsabbrüche, kein Download möglich) ferner ist Funktionalität nicht überzeugend (kein Vorschau der Kamerainhalte). Da sind die Herstellertools deutlich besser. Support wurde nach mehreren Rückfragen nicht weiter verfolgt.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-06*

They keep offering upgrades that will solve problems but of course they don’t and you’re just screwed.

### 3/5 — Great app some questions

*2024-06-30*

Good app just need to know how to see my videos it always says there is a connection error when I go to see them
