The app is just embarrassing.. :-( Half Chinese/half English I can take it all if only they had support for multiple lens! They don’t! How come?? This is useless to me if I can’t use my wide hardware lens Just ugh… (and pity! As the case is really nice) ### 1/5 — Hot mess *2021-05-06* Just got the housing. Downloaded this app. “Instructions” are a mess, and there is very little in the way of instruction. “English” looks like someone just keyed Chinese into Google translate. I can look past that but following what instructions there are doesn’t even work. Looks like phone goes to sleep after a couple of minutes. How does that work underwater??? In profile editor, text entered is white on white background (?!?!) ### 4/5 — Just got my housing. *2021-05-03* Had some trouble at first, but app seems to work ok. I wish the app was able to use the full features of the camera on the phone. As of now it can video, take a picture using the front and rear camera. I wish slow motion, time lapse, etc we’re also able to be used. ## Frequently asked questions about HotDive ### What devices does HotDive support?
