### 5/5 — Работает!

*2020-08-18*

Запускает/стопает Gemini 5K и показывает плейбек (даже с перемоткой).

### 5/5 — Gets the Job done

*2020-01-10, version 3.28*

This app is a simple way to monitor settings and wireless trigger start/stop for recording. I highly suggest putting your iOS device in a mode where it won’t be put into a sleep setting as you will need to reconnect to your RED camera.

### 2/5 — Not as expected

*2019-11-03, version 3.28*

Great, in theory, but kept dropping off signal. If, by some act of god, it would stay connected long enough to initiate recording, it would disconnect before being able to cut. Not dependable at all, sadly.
