Trying to do much..

To the developers-slow down. Just as I get used to editing a certain way in this program a new change comes about to add confusion. Keeping things simple and less busy is the way to go.

Excelente Camara

Gracias a esta cámara puedo captar los momentos mas divertidos cuando viajo en mi moto!! Excelente calidad,

Instant 36 de Luna

This is a great camera. I love it. I love the way you have a remote, detached, remote, best thing ever.

Bloatware!!

2.4GB for this bloatware packed app while cinema grade video editing app Final Cut Pro is 6GB

Here for the App…Update: thank you for your quick response.

I love my Luna Cam, however, please fix the app. And if you’re going to use bubbles for notifications, make it so one would know why, instead of making it a mystery on how to get rid of these number bubbles. Side note: make more than 5 POV controllers at a time.

Poor connection

App keeps disconnecting, can take 4 or 5 attempts. Very hit & miss

Bring full iPad orientation support

No body uses their iPad in vertical. The iPad app should be fully horizontal. Right now half of the app is horizontal and the rest is vertical. Please fix that.

Insta 360 studio

Для компа приложение просто боль, заходишь раз месяц так там обязательно прилетает обновление, надо удалить старую прогу и перезагрузить комп еще и это в 21 веке🥲

The application freezes!

As it was a year ago and now with the addition of a bunch of different artificial intelligence subscriptions and so on, the application died simply, everything is updated iPhone, new cache, clean, hangs, do not open or mount, it is impossible to do anything, complete mess, complete disappointment

Stupid amount of Bandwidth

The app takes 2 GB of bandwidth on your phone. I didn’t find it to be super user friendly. Also I cancelled the auto renewal and still got charged which in fairness is probably an Apple issue and not their fault, but I also don’t think the service is worth paying for.

Free one year trial misleading

I purchased an Insta360 camera because one of the advertised benefits for first-time buyers was a free 1-year trial of 200GB cloud storage. My Apple confirmation email clearly states “Free for 1 year” and shows that billing wasn’t supposed to begin until next year. Despite that, I was immediately charged $21.19.

The only way to get my money back was to request a refund through Apple, but doing so canceled the free one-year trial. As a first-time buyer, I feel cheated because I wasn’t able to take advantage of the promotion as advertised like everyone else.

This experience was confusing, misleading, and frustrating. If you’re advertising a free one-year trial, customers shouldn’t be charged upfront or forced to give up the promotional offer just to get an incorrect charge refunded. I hope Insta360 fixes this so future first-time buyers can actually receive the promotion as advertised.

Overheating my iPad

Was good!! New version is quickly draining my iPad battery and feels like it’s overheating.

Instabile Version und kont weniger nützlich

Update: Service Release x.x.3: App crashes after reframing almost every single time! Hotfix please!! Absolute annoying! This Version makes the app useless. Deleting the cache doesn’t fix the problem permanently. It worked exactly once without the connection subsequently being interrupted due to a ‘network error’. The error keeps recurring. Found out that an additional air pods connection interrupts the transfer after reframing.


Leider ist diese Version deutlich instabiler als die vorherige und stützt regelmäßig ab oder freezed. Das ist extrem frustrierend, weil man dadurch extrem viel Zeit verschwendet. Zudem muss ich mich leider Rezensionen anderer User anschließen: kurze Videos, mal eben aus der Hand zu „reframen“ macht leider keinen Spaß mehr. Bewegungen ruckeln, sind mal zu schnell mal zu langsam und trotz ausgestellter „direction lock“-Funktion bleibt der Horizont immer gerade. Dadurch werden aus potenziell natürlich wirkenden, dynamischen Videos eher langweilige Ausschnitte. Warum gibt man dem User nicht die Möglichkeit, selbst zu entscheiden, ob er den Horizont dauerhaft gerade haben möchte oder nicht? Früher war das besser und brachte bessere Ergebnisse hervor. Dabei bietet die App mit der „Gyro“-Funktion eigentlich die Möglichkeit. Schade nur, dass man diese Bewegungen nicht mehr aufzeichnen, also zum Reframing nutzen kann. Vielleicht könnt ihr das wieder zurückbringen.

Hi there, we have taken note of your feedback regarding this, and will be sure to pass it along to the appropriate team within our organization for their review and consideration. And regarding the issue of crash, please follow the following steps and try again to see if the crashing issue still exists: 1. Update the Insta360 APP to the latest version. 2. If you export while the camera is connected to Insta360 APP, please download the footage to the App first and try again 3. Clear the app cache on the "Me" page of the Insta360 APP. 4. Clean your phone's memory to ensure it has sufficient space. 5. Close other background running applications before editing or exporting footage. 6. Check the phone's running memory (if the running memory is less than or equal to 6G, the Insta360 APP may be forcibly closed due to insufficient running memory during editing or exporting materials). Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at iOS-appfeedback@insta360.com . Thank you for your understanding.

Not IPad friendly app

The Insta360 app has great editing features, but the iPad experience is disappointing. The app doesn’t feel optimized for iPad, wasting the larger screen and making it feel like a stretched phone app instead of a true tablet experience.

Another major frustration is that you can’t easily access your videos outside the app. Managing or organizing your files with other apps is much more difficult than it should be. If you want to edit or back up your footage using your own workflow, the app makes that unnecessarily restrictive.

Insta360 makes excellent cameras, but the app needs a proper iPad version and much better file accessibility. Those two improvements alone would make a huge difference.

I don’t understand how this have 4.5 stars

This app is literally littered with in app purchases for AI slop. The app itself works great but wow, the price being offered for the so called AI features is insane.

Good App and very good support

The app has a lot of features which are very useful and impressive. I did have issues with the app constantly sending notifications, but after a quick contact with customer support, I was able to adjust the notification to what I wanted. Customer Support was very quick on responding to my issues.

Обновление и новый интерфейс просто ужас

Невозможно работать, выкинули функцию вырезать фото из видео. Задумываюсь о смене камеры теперь, если все не вернется на свои места

Response from developer

Hello! The version 2.29.3 app currently supports taking screenshots from videos. You can go to the app's Album page, select the file you want to edit, and enter the playback page — then tap the "Screenshot" icon in the top‑left toolbar to choose between a photo or a live Snapshot. If this option does not appear in your app, could you please send a screen recording of the issue, your phone model, phone system version, the app log ID, and the time when the issue occurred to our email [iOS-Appfeedback@insta360.com]? Get the app's Log ID: Go to "Me" > "About Insta360" > "Diagnostic Info" > click "Send". After sending it successfully, the Log ID will be copied directly to the clipboard. Please paste it directly to us. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Photo 360

Why did you remove the old version of circular photos, which was the very first one??? Bring it back to how it was!!!

Куда делись круговые фото, которые были в шаблонах самыми первыми???
Был шаблон с очень медленным поворотом (20 секунд на весь шаблон)на 360 градусов, затем вид сверху и возврат к первому виду перед началом поворота на 360 градусов. Теперь остался только очень быстрый поворот на 360 градусов за 4 секунды, с низким качеством и лиц не рассмотреть!

Разработчики, верните как было или напишите где они теперь!
Остались только тупые шаблоны, первый был самый лучший
