Soft locked from connecting hero session

I’ve been trying to connect my hero session 4 to the app but when i try adding the camera to the app it gets stuck on the tutorial video and im unable to continue and enter the pin from the camera. theres a blue continue button, but its right on the corner of the screen and it cant be clicked

Overnight, they abruptly stopped providing full access.

I have owned a GoPro camera for eight years and pay for video editing access, so my privacy should be respected as well. I have used other cameras well.

doesnt work

I have been using the app successfully for last few years purely for my diving videos. Whilst on a current diving holiday the app has completely failed. I have deleted and reinstalled the app 6 times and although it shows on my phone when I open it there is just the preview video and no menu. I cannot transfer video to edit ( including a brilliant night dive last night). I contacted go pro support 5 days ago but the problem remains unresolved. This is very unsatisfactory. I have plenty of memory on my iphone and it is using the latest software. I miss paralenz!

Good app

The app and the connection to my GoPro work flawlessly. However, the frequent prompts to purchase a premium subscription or other products within the app Is extremely annoying.

I feel like I should have gotten a DJI

I have lots of trouble connecting my hero 13 black to this app and it never wants to upload my media to my camera roll

Crashes and poor user interface

Tried it but user interface is poorly done and lots of crashes. Not worth the subscription or time.

Great app

This app is great but I wish not everything was locked behind a subscription .

Poor media experience

It rips videos from your GP without asking! Then makes it a real chore to try and fix that. I want to manage my own media, stop messing with our data.

Completely paywalled now.

They locked everything a behind a subscription. No longer any good.

Storage hog

Very easy to use but the app is a goddamn storage hog. Though maybe thats becasue i only have 64GB of storage on an iphone XS.

I don’t understand why GoPro became so un-user friendly.

You have ruined a great product by disabling desktop access. I wish I had done some research before realizing how terrible Gopro had become. I didn’t realize you were going to disable all functionality for desktop access. I want my kids to make skating and biking videos and get to watch them afterward. The camera won’t work without my phone. I don’t want to pay one more monthly subscription. I don’t want to give my kids my phone to make videos. This product is basically an expensive brick.

Mac pluse phone

This app is rubbish fro Mac and takes up to much phone storage please sort out Mac then it would be a 5

Privacy

In deciding between GoPro and Insta360, I went with GoPro. The reason is that Insta360 requires you to download their app and register before you can use the camera. I looked at what data Insta360 collects and links to your identity. It is shocking. GoPro’s app is not only top notch, they don’t suck down your personal info into some huge computer in China.

Absolute scam

Okay so a few months ago I bought a subscription on this app so I can get my cameras footage on my mobile and it was going fine but today they somehow managed to reach a completely different card of mine

GLITCHES & BUGS

This App IS SO BROKEN . It Has BUGS & GLITCHES That Will Literally Stress You Out.
It will stop you from successfully completing edit without it crashing. It’s so many little editing glitches it has I’m sorry to many great reviews had to be the honest review.
I’m literally putting this review right after ANOTHER incident where I cant edit this dam video because the app is glitched out and keeps crashing on me
THE GOPRO CLOUD SAVING IS BROKEN IT DOESNT UPLOAD VIDEOS TO GOPRO CLOUD PROPERLY YOU HAVE TO CLOSE APP RE OPEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO EVEN GET IT TOOO START SYNCING PROPERLY

Beware

I got this app to edit GoPro 360 footage from a kart track, I do not own a GoPro. There is no way to import footage from an SD card reader. Apple makes it nearly impossible on iPhone 13. Would love to have seen it, no pc, no way to view or edit. Probably works great from the camera.

Wtf happened

I used to be able to edit a video in Quik in about 10–15 minutes. Now something that should be incredibly simple has turned into one of the most frustrating editing experiences I’ve ever had.

The biggest problem is trimming clips. I trimmed a video down to 27 seconds and saved it as a new clip. My iPhone correctly shows the new video as 27 seconds. But when I bring that SAME 27-second video back into Quik to edit it, Quik somehow turns it back into approximately 53 seconds and includes footage that I already removed.

I have tried saving it as a new clip, removing and re-adding the media, and starting the edit again. Nothing fixes it.

An app designed to make quick video editing easier should not require this much troubleshooting just to use a trimmed clip. I actually like Quik when it works, which makes this even more frustrating. Please fix the trimming/editing issues because right now the app is making a simple edit unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming.

Won’t save no matter what I do

Thought I’d try Quik as I’m looking for an app to use in a new business and to replace my ageing action cams. So built a little video in Quik and it wouldn’t allow me to save it without forcing me on to a paid subscription. Tried several times but no - this app isn’t having any of it. So it’s impossible to trial it without paying or even try a lite version. There’s no shortage of other options so I’ll look at those now and buy their cameras too. What a waste of time!

Lacks offload to external drive, stickers doesn’t show for 360 content and app logs off

When gathering content during a weekend away, it’s easy to offload from the camera to the quick app, however each shot has to be shared via files to an external drive individually.
It’s a pain when trying to overlay telematics to 360 content. I managed to get it to work by exporting a none 360 image and importing it back in for one video, but not another. Quite frustrating.
The app also logs out all the time which is frustrating.

Glitchy

I’ve used the app for about a decade and it’s never worked smoothly. Download button never works, constantly displays a bunch of dead data, always asking for subscription…I already pay for the cameras, just give me an operational app to download my media.
