Keeps crashing.

Can’t do anything on it these days. Phone just crashes. This is the only app that ever does this.

Bloatware!! Reduce the size!!

How much bigger are you planning to make this with all the AI bloatware? It’s now half the size of iOS itself!

Taking huge space

Documents and data take 10 gb even if nothing is stored on device

frustrating and firmware update annoying

when not enough space after downloading firmware again and again not retained downloaded firmware and it’s getting annoying to use the app.even after free up memory old download still consume memory and required to uninstall app and need to download the firmware.. why firmware download from mobile data instead of wifi? when i turn off mobile data firmware stops to download. already download not optimised and not using wifi then what is the point duplicate download with mobile data??

Audio fails constantly

Audio just doesn’t work half the time.

Improvement suggestions

During video export to iPhone, mark the images/videos in the app so the user can see which images/videos have been exported.
This allows them to more easily resume the export if it doesn’t go successfully (which happens often).

Also the export does not resume when brought to the foreground, despite the text saying it does.

The export freezes if literally anything happens (opening another app, iPhone bringing a notification to say that it’s gone into low power mode etc)

Given this, it would be nice to know from the app, where in the 100 selected videos it froze so I can just select the remaining non-exported ones.

The alternative is delete all videos from the
iPhone and start again, or manually figure out which video stopped.
Which is a real pain point when, during a cycling tour, the Insta can only hold a handful of days worth of footage.

The Insta 360 mini is an incredible product, but it’s only useful to me once it’s been exported.

Response from developer

We’re sorry that repeated export interruptions have made it difficult to manage your footage during your cycling tour. Please check that your iPhone has enough free storage, then clear the Insta360 app’s cache via Me > Clear Cache. If you have plenty of free storage—for example, over 50 GB—and iCloud Photos is enabled, please try temporarily pausing its syncing and exporting again. If exports still fail, please send your app LogID, iPhone model, iOS version, a screenshot showing available storage, a screen recording of the issue, the original footage, and the date and time it occurred to iOS-Appfeedback@insta360.com. To submit the log, connect the camera to the app, then go to Me > About Insta360 > Diagnostic Info > Send and copy the LogID. For exports freezing in the background or failing to resume when you return, please also include the corresponding issue time and LogID so we can investigate. We’ll share your requests for exported-file markers and an easier way to identify and export the remaining files with our product team. Thank you for your detailed feedback.

L8est update

I won’t update this to this version as it’s broken and much worse than the one I have, I prefer function to bloat, so rack odd, if you know what I mean!!… also the device is built poorly and cheaply with plastic lenses that can be easily damaged and are protected by plastic domes that reduce picture quality… I’m looking for a more competent device now….

Amazing!!

When I bought your x5 camera - it had been released only a short time, and there wasn’t much you could do with the video. In just over a year you’ve managed to add amazing features! This includes instaframe and 360 spatial 3d! I wish you success and growth! You’re doing great! Don’t Stop!

Bom editor

Faltam algumas funções básicas como função de narração do video direto no editor mobile, inclusão de figuras e gif animados como “inscreva-se”. Mas para o básico resolve, porem ainda dependo de outro editor para os toques finais.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We'll forward your needs to our App team for further evaluation and potential improvements :)

App doesn’t open 75% of the time

App doesn’t open 75% of the time. I have to pull the sd card and get on my computer to get my footage off my camera. i’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it countless times, yet nothing changes.

Improve

Why is it when you download your videos, you can’t access it without the camera being turned on? If I downloaded the videos, why aren’t they being transferred to my photos on my iPhone? It doesn’t make any sense.

Love it

Amazing app. They have thought of everything. You could spend hours in here and never find the end. While also being apart of a community.

O melhor de todos

Ótimo aplicativo para câmera de ação

Don’t Use if You’re Editing on the iPad

I like using the iPad to edit videos on my Insta 360. But every time I use it, it crashes without fail. Using the AI tracking will only last at 15 seconds before it crashes. Even playing back my footage will sometimes crash the app. I have an iPad Air 3rd Gen, so it’s not outdated hardware. The app is truly unoptimized since my iPhone 12 can run it without crashing. I’ve tried their remedies and tricks to fix the issue (emptying cache, resetting settings, etc). It is the app itself that is incapable of running properly. The app works perfectly fine on mobile but their iPad port is pissing me off.

Not able to update firmware

Just got a new Luna ultra. Not able to firmware update via latest iOS 27 on an iPhone 17 pro. Had to use my old android to firmware update instead.

The developers need to fix iPhone support.

Best apps

Insta360 is the best ever

Dark mode

Could we get dark mode it help my eyes

2GB app?

Clown shoes.

Buggy

When you resuming a draft edit, there’s always a lot of bugs. If I try to split or extend a clip by dragging it it glitches out and replaces that clip with another full clip and wipe out any other edits in front of it.
