### 1/5 — CG03+

*2017-07-29, version 1.0.7*

Does anyone know if what's the app for the CGO3+? I keep trying this one but it won't find the wifi signal I'm using the iPhone 7

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2017-07-17, version 1.0.7*

Not able to connect to Yuneec Typhoon H CGO3+ camera!

### 1/5 — Waste of ten minutes

*2017-04-04*

Much like the other reviewers: didn't have any luck. iPhone 6s Plus and 8 brand new Eneloop batteries. The app's Chinglish is poorly. "Please waiting" the entire time. The whole thing seems pointless, anyway; the gimbal makes so much noise that I can't imagine the audio on the video being worth anything.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work with cgo, same error as everyone else BUT

*2017-03-07*

If you have a cgo2, there is a cgo2 app that DOES work that I just used on my iPhone 7plus, it just doesn't have all the camera settings. Just record and picture mode only.

### 4/5 — It does work! Here's how...

*2017-02-07, version 1.0.7*

First of all, nearly every review is negative, and it's completely clear why. The app is not intuitive at all. However, after a long time watching videos and reading troubleshooting pages, I think I have it figured out. I'm using the steadygrip and cgo3 gimbal camera provided with the Q500 4K quadcopter and an iPhone 6s Plus. 

1: use only NiMH rechargeable batteries. NiMH is short for nickel-metal hydride, and they give out a voltage slightly higher than standard batteries. Regular AA batteries will not work! I'm using a set of EBL AAs and they seem to work fine. 

2: attach the cgo3 to the steadygrip unit and turn it on

3: on your phone, open your wifi settings and select the cgo3. It'll be called CGO3_(random numbers and letters). It will ask for a password, enter 1234567890

4: now open the app, and it should run smoothly from there. 

I hope that saves some of you from more headaches! Good luck out there

### 1/5 — Does not connect

*2017-02-04*

This app works perfectly with samsung but not very well with apple, I have a samsung tablet and works great, but with my iPhone it does not connect. Please update app.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2017-02-01, version 1.0.7*

This app once worked fine until Apple did an upgrade. Now, an iPhone will not lock to the signal. I have used a 5S successfully many times before and even used previous footage shot with this handy device in a documentary. When it works, it is a nice thing to have. 

I called Yuneec support, and as usual they took time to try and sort this out. They suggested I set my phone's wifi IP address to Static, and gave me a string of numbers which I put in along with new DNS code, etc. The result was that I finally got a picture on my iPhone from the action cam, and yet once I started trying to record the picture lasted about 3 or 4 seconds and then went to black, and resumed searching again. So, it is now completely unusable until Yuneec fixes it. How long this must go on I don't know, but the handgrip is unusable in the meantime. The same camera works fine on the Q500 so the problem isn't the camera. I've also read that Yuneec is having problems with the Breeze interface, but I don't have any personal experience with that system. If true however, then it appears that Yuneec is slow in responding to Apple's updates and they need to be on top of these changes in a more timely fashion.

### 1/5 — CGO 3 ...

*2017-01-31, version 1.0.7*

Please update the app so you can view and save the videos on your phone instead of using pc to do it I know DJI has that function.. :(

### 1/5 — Unboxed today - Returned today

*2017-01-19, version 1.0.7*

Unboxed G500 4K today 1/18/2017 - main reason I went with Yuneec vs Phantom was for the steadygrip feature. App is not iPhone 6s compatible, contacted customer service ending up with same result. Contacted seller exchanged for Phantom Professional.

### 3/5 — iPhone

*2017-01-09*

Anyone knows how can I download the videos directly to my iPhone using this app?

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to my camera!

*2020-09-17*

I’ve followed all the instructions, and still cannot get this lousy app to connect to my CGO3+. 

Completely useless app!

### 1/5 — No help from tech or this company

*2020-02-26, version 1.0.7*

They have abandoned this app there’s no help once so ever. The camera will not connect to this app, it always restarting itself. I even switched it over to the android phone their app isn’t operational no more at all. This is a joke for what i paid for this.

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2019-12-21*

Cant get this app to fully function with ios 13.3.  Photos wont show or download. Camera controls not all there.  Has trouble connecting to camera.  App needs an update!

### 1/5 — Orphaned?

*2019-10-05, version 1.0.7*

The CGO app doesn’t appear to work properly with iPadOS. This raises concern in my mind about all older Yuneec apps. Are they orphaned?

### 1/5 — Not for CGO 2

*2019-02-08, version 1.0.7*

This will not work with CGO2 and Iphone with IOS over 10.

### 1/5 — Will not connect to the camera on iPhone 8 Plus

*2018-05-27*

App needs a update it will not connect the camera to the iPhone 8

### 1/5 — Still doesn’t work.

*2018-03-26*

Will connect to camera, initialize, then gives the “Please Waiting” with no picture displayed. The last update for this app was over a year ago and  it’s no secret that it doesn’t work anymore amongst CGO3 and CGO3+ owners, so why won’t Yuneec fix the app?

### 1/5 — I can’t this app to link with my CGO+3

*2018-03-05, version 1.0.7*

I don’t want to review this yet. I have an iPhone 6 running 11.2 and it will not connect CGO+3....hopefully someone can help me

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2018-01-25, version 1.0.7*

The app just says “please waiting” my camera is connected but won’t show on screen? What’s going on!

### 5/5 — CG03 problem

*2024-07-05*

Turn off VPN

### 5/5 — Works Great!!!

*2020-05-03, version 1.0.7*

I don’t know why this is getting such a low review rate.  I just got a typhoon h and yes I know it’s out of date kind of but still.  I have a cgo3+ camera and it was simple hook up.  Install app, power on camera, connect to camera WiFi, put in long password (1234567890), start app and off we go simple.  My advice is use correct app for correct camera!

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2018-04-02*

First thing first the drone is awesome and really easy to fly. It one of the best drones out there. The app make it better because you can’t see the drone camera in your phone! It amazing

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2018-02-21*

Works for me, read the directions and which camera it’s used for.🤷🏽‍♂️ I have the cgo3+ camera and the CGO app. No problems of connecting. 
****Turn the sensitivity down for the wheel please. 

****Could use some tweaking.

### 5/5 — Works with my iPad Air 2

*2017-07-25, version 1.0.7*

I couldn't get this app to work with my android pos, but works with my iPad Air 2, even tho the stream quality from the built in wifi was poor. At least I could record some videos with my steady grip tho!!! I think the connection it has to to do with the 5. or 2.4 ghz

Update 7/24/17
Why all the hate? This app is for the CGO3 4k camera that comes with yuneec 4k typhoon quad copter. I got it to work on both an iPad Air 2 and an old iPhone c. This camera requires 5 ghz signal, and the most important thing, the wifi password
1234567890
Once you select cgo3 in wifi enter password, open app, record video and pics!!! Viola!!!

### 5/5 — The other reviews are ignorant

*2017-07-01, version 1.0.7*

The reason I say this is because no one apparently read the description that this is for the CGO3+, Grant it the name of the app might be misleading, but always READ THE DESCRIPTION before you go click happy. This app WORKS FLAWLESSLY downloaded it in seconds, plugged a battery In the Typhoon H, powered up, connected to the CGO3 via wifi settings in phone, password 1234567890, connected first try, opened the app and BAM what do you know, there's my video feed! I can adjust everything I can on my transmitter just from my phone! This app is awesome as of June 29, 2017. Don't let the other reviews lead you astray!

### 5/5 — My results have been fantastic

*2017-02-01, version 1.0.7*

I originally used the CG03 with the iPhone 6 Plus. Last week got the 7 plus. I'm having no issues with the camera/SD card.  I'm simply powering up and begin shooting. Weird seeing that so many are indeed having issues. I've had numerous phone contacts with Yuneec support over a crashed up Tornado & found the guys personable and very helpful. Also nice that they speak American English.  If you folks are having problems, I'd strongly suggest calling Yuneec for help.  The camera itself shoots amazing video using the grip. I did mod the grip to accept a 11.1V Lipo.  Last for hours.

### 5/5 — Cgo3+

*2017-01-06*

This app is absolutely fantastic and very easy to use.

### 4/5 — Confusion about the app for which iPhone

*2017-12-29*

After downloading wrong version I could not get CG02 to work. I have an iphone6 upgraded to version 11.0.3 and it works fine for me. CG0 is the right version for my cell phone

### 4/5 — Totally works with CG03

*2017-09-03, version 1.0.7*

Go to wifi settings on your device people 😂 Password is 1234567890.  Only thing this app needs is a split screen function for VR.
