### 1/5 — This app is a wast of time

*2018-05-20*

This has to be the worst app ever! Zero time was put into the creation of it. It won’t link to the camera. Just download the SD card to your computer and edit from there.

### 1/5 — Something's wrong..

*2016-06-09*

Once I got the app, it said I wasn't connected to wifi, I closed the app and connected to my wifi, and when I opened the app again, it wouldn't work. So now I can't even see my videos I film👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
