### 2/5 — Version 13.39 Bug

*2026-08-24, version 13.39*

HERO11 Black, iPhone 17 Pro. When viewing clips directly from the camera in Quik, dragging the main playback timeline causes the scrubber to move but immediately snap back to its original position. This occurs with all clips. Downloaded copies scrub normally, and Grab Photo/Trim controls work normally. Resetting the camera connection and reinstalling Quik did not resolve it.

### 2/5 — Crashes, can’t control mix

*2026-08-21, version 13.39*

It crashes frequently. Then it asks me to pay for an upgrade. Appreciate the price is reasonable at least—but I won’t buy crashy software. Also can’t control music level, it just blasts the whole time or nothing

### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish!!!

*2026-08-12, version 2.2*

GoPro users will be stuck to using their phones because they will not update the Mac app! I quit, I’m selling my GoPro, nothing but hassle, rubbish software, battery life is a joke and the camera quality is rubbish compared to DJI. Goodbye and I hope you go broke.

### 1/5 — Connect?

*2026-08-10, version 13.38*

The app continues to ask me to enable Bluetooth to add a GoPro, even though I did already. I turned it on, off, and back on again. Nothing works

### 1/5 — GOPRO is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!

*2026-08-10, version 2.2*

I have a GOPRO HERO 8 Black, that I bought new when they came out, and it and all of GOPRO software has been complete junk, and hands down the worst purchase I've ever made. I highly suggest everyone stay away from them and buy DJI!!!!!

Thanks for the expensive POS GOPRO, I can no longer update or retrieve the files from my GOPRO using the phone app or the computer app. 
I honestly dont know why anyone supports this company!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-08-09, version 13.38*

They made changes to share links without notifying the users. You are unable to download media from share links as of last week. Dealing with their customer service has been horrid, they just give you AI generated responses via email that provide no solutions whatsover. I would steer away from this app.

### 2/5 — Fails To Save Edits!

*2026-08-08, version 13.38*

Why does this POS app fail to save reframe edits every, single, time? Why do I have to redo my work? No wonder users aren't signing up for more premium features often!

### 1/5 — Bugs out

*2026-08-06, version 13.38*

It will bug out and kick you out the app while editing I have a iPhone 15 so Ik it’s not the phone and all my other editing apps work just fine but this one takes forever to load videos when you click play freezes up a lot honestly how are going to make a $400 camera but not put work into your app

### 1/5 — Awful. Rarely pairs with camera.

*2026-08-06, version 13.38*

Constantly having to reboot the camera and repairing every time I want to access my videos. Sometimes the app will work seamlessly for 2 days then it will just not pair.

### 1/5 — Everyone associated with this product should be fired

*2026-08-04, version 13.37*

I am not going to say the people who created this app deserve to die. But they should all be fired from their jobs and never allowed to touch technology again. I have never encountered an app that is so difficult, that it is so glitchy, that just doesn’t do what it is supposed to. The fact that it takes me over an hour to download a handful of pictures which literally should take five minutes makes me filled with rage at this app. It has made me realize that I can no longer buy GoPro product because I do not want to interact with this terrible interface.

### 2/5 — Terrible App

*2026-08-03, version 13.37*

I wish there was an alternative or that I had purchased from another company rather than GoPro. 
The app crashes constantly and connecting to my hero13 black is always a nightmare.

### 1/5 — Good functionality, that’s about it.

*2026-08-03, version 13.37*

Well designed app, and it works well for everything but exporting videos. Extremely difficult and buggy, only when exporting videos. Be aware of this when uploading large amounts of files. Truly unbelievable that the windows quik was discontinued. 
Just buy a storage device if you’re looking to offload photos and videos with intent to actually own them.

### 3/5 — Storage

*2026-08-02, version 13.37*

It’s good quality but you have to pay for storage which sucks cus I can’t even see 1 video

### 1/5 — Freezes Straight Out of the Box

*2026-08-02, version 13.37*

I just bought my GoPro hero 13 and immediately turning it on and trying to connect it to the app it refuses to connect. It keeps saying unable to join and it also will not shut off even if I hold the off button down for 40 seconds I have to pull the battery.. trash and will be returning to get a DJI

### 1/5 — Constant Crashing while Editing

*2026-08-02, version 13.37*

Horrible app

### 1/5 — Don’t edit here

*2026-07-29, version 13.37*

All they have is an auto edit where you can’t remove the stupid music, choose how the video is strung together, or anything useful.

### 2/5 — App s;:cks!

*2026-07-26, version 13.37*

Takes forever to upload from the camera even on 5G. Loads one video quickly then you just get the circling arrow for any others until you disconnect, shutdown the app, restart the app, reconnect then try and it works until you go to another video then you have to repeat all these steps all over again and again until you acquire all the footage you may want to use . Might be time to switch to the Insta 360 and give that a try. I know I'll never buy any long term subscription from GoPro until they fix this app.

### 1/5 — WORTHLESS GARBAGE!

*2026-07-24, version 13.37*

I am extremely disappointed in Go Pro. I had come to expect so much more from you. You are getting left in wind. There are far better apps available and you make NO EFFORT to make your app better. I don’t expect anyone from Go Pro to read these reviews, but if you do, upgrade your app or you’ll be losing me as a subscriber.

### 1/5 — Consistently buggy

*2026-07-24, version 13.37*

I use this app for one purpose: control my GoPro remotely so I can position it and start recording without having to physically push the button. Every single time I’ve used it I’ve had issues. Either it stops recording without warning or it loses connection and doesn’t actually start recording despite saying it’s connected. I’ve lost so many moments because I hit record on the app and it was buggy.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-22, version 13.39*

Slow upload speed regardless of internet connection. Choppy cuts between clips.

### 1/5 — No updatesn

*2026-08-21, version 2.2*

No updates
No windows version

bye bye GoPro!

### 1/5 — App freeze

*2026-08-17, version 13.38*

The app freezes on loading screen, and when it does let me in it  freezes up when trying to edit. Need to go back to whatever version it was on 2 years ago.

### 1/5 — How does this app have a 4.8 rating?

*2026-08-17, version 13.38*

This is an honest question. We have had this service for years and when we attempt to view footage from the Apple TV we are met with buffering ( by which I mean the video stops playing ). It’s unfortunate. 🥲

### 1/5 — You need the app for OS

*2026-08-15, version 2.2*

The reason I will not buy another GoPro product isn there is no OS app

### 1/5 — Subs

*2026-08-15, version 13.38*

Buying gopro product and need also buy subscrybction becose cannot edit and save any video. Joke

### 1/5 — Nothing quick about it

*2026-08-14, version 2.2*

I can’t think of anything good to say

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-14, version 13.38*

Absolute waste of time. Does not recognise account. Refuses to stay logged in. Won’t restore purchases despite paying for premium. Loops round and round

### 1/5 — Great feature, very frustrating ecosystem

*2026-08-13, version 13.38*

Great feature, frustrating ecosystem

I genuinely like Quik’s automatic edits — it’s one of the main reasons I pay for GoPro Premium. But the way finished edits are handled is unnecessarily frustrating.

I can create a Quik edit on my iPhone using footage in my GoPro cloud account, but that finished video isn’t then available when I log into the same GoPro account on my Mac/web browser. To keep it in my GoPro library, I have to export it to Apple Photos, transfer/access the file on my Mac, and then manually upload it back to GoPro Cloud.

Why? I’m already paying for GoPro cloud storage. If I create and save a video in GoPro’s own app, it should simply appear in my GoPro account everywhere.

I’d also really like Quik editing back on Mac, or at least proper web-based editing. Action cameras generate huge amounts of high-resolution footage, so restricting the best editing features to a phone feels completely backwards.

Quik’s automatic editing is excellent. Please make the ecosystem around it equally good. At the moment the friction is actively encouraging me to export my footage, find another editing solution and reconsider renewing Premium (I won’t until it’s fixed) 

Or it’s hello Insta 360!

### 1/5 — File Name and Exporting is bad

*2026-08-13, version 13.38*

While I like the convenience of the app to be able to preview all of my footage, I would like for the app to use a better naming system for every single individual screenshot other than “GPTempDownload”. I will keep this review at 1 star till there is a change.

### 5/5 — 클라우드 업로드 후 URL에서 영상 다운로드가 안되는거 같아요.

*2026-08-06*

클라우드 업로드 후 URL에서 영상 다운로드가 안되는거 같아요.
해당 기능을 정말 잘 사용하고 있었는데 작동이 안되서 의문입니다...

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-07-13, version 13.36.1*

I’ve been using this since my first GoPro great app

### 5/5 — EXTREMELY USEFUL

*2026-06-18, version 13.35*

I use this app for my YouTube Channel, ChillsSkoots. The best thing for me is being able to edit your videos and upload them to your phone. Best app ever.

### 5/5 — Fácil de usar

*2026-06-14, version 2.2*

Es muy fácil de utilizar, pero no me permite afiliarme a la versión pagada

### 5/5 — GoPro quick

*2026-06-09, version 13.34.1*

GoPro quick clean UI
Use camera like mini spy
Used well over years

### 5/5 — On the go editing!

*2026-06-08, version 13.34.1*

I like the app I just wish there pro color controls where you can control each color or mixes, also speed curves and Ai filters.

### 5/5 — Noice

*2026-06-08, version 13.34.1*

I tested out the app for mobile since my computer isn’t really working for the sd card so I got the app and I was able to easily download my media to my photos and download them into the mobile version of CapCut. I just wish that I could do the edits in the app without the auto edit, if someone can help me with that part that would be great!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-06-07, version 13.34.1*

The app
Told me to rate this

### 5/5 — Awesome

### 5/5 — GoPro
