It doesn't state thy the app has no direct contact with the GoPro camera and that it tries to pull clips from your iphone or iPad library. A waste of money. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-10-23* Definitely not worth paying for. The app is so easy to crash and has very limited functionality ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-09-23* Doesn't work! ### 2/5 — Preview does not work, photos turn out so so *2013-07-30, version 1.0* I am using an ipad 3 running iOS 6 and I cannot preview the image , about thirty percent is cut from the screen and the preview image looks distorted. However I can save the image and it does change the image. Even still, having no preview is a problem. The lens correction is ok yet a bit slow to save, fingers crossed for an update so we can preview. Thanks... Update, tried the app on an iPad 2 and it would crash 3/5 times... ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-07-22* Image in interface too low res to be useful, limited controls, crashes repeatedly. Very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all. *2022-06-02, version 1.63* When I try to correct the shot, it distorts the image so much it makes it pointless to use the app. I really don’t understand how anyone with a conscience would make an app as terrible as this and make it available to the public. This app is embarrassingly bad. The developer of this ad has no business creating this type of work. If this was my app and I made it available to the public I would be humiliated. ### 1/5 — Does the opposite of what’s expected *2020-08-06* Instead of correcting the lens distortion it exacerbates it. The control goes only one way towards increasing the distortion. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on panorama shots *2019-03-30, version 1.63* Boo. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2018-12-27, version 1.63* It doesn’t work. It make the distortion worse! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-07-23, version 1.63* This app is pretty much useless and a wast of money! ### 1/5 — Worst purchase ever. *2016-04-27* Don't buy it! This is the worst app I've ever purchased. I don't usually write reviews, I can't remember the last time I did. But kind of had to with this one. I wanted to remove the distortion the camera's wide angle lens does to images. The only thing this app can do, is make the image worse. Far worse. It's horribly designed too. ### 1/5 — Terrible... *2014-09-01* Terrible... App distorts image with further fish eye before making changes. Full correction within the app only returns image to original state. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this *2014-07-16, version 1.6* This thing crashes every time I use it and doesn't save the photos. It doesn't allow landscape mode. What a piece of crap. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Not ready for real use *2014-05-21, version 1.6* I can see the potential usefulness of this app (that's why I paid for it). But the constant crashing when saving, lack of iPad landscape support, and only a single preset show me that this developer is not serious enough to deserve your money. Do not buy this app until the developer fixes it! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-12-25, version 1.5* You can't do video, hard to use, not accurate and is not worth a dollar. DONT BUY IT IS A SCAM ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-06-08* I am using it with Phantom Vision 2+ And it gives great results with full resolution stills. Image metadata is untouched and image colour and sharpness seem unaffected. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Work well *2014-05-31, version 1.6* Sesuai dengan fungsinya, nice & simple app ### 5/5 — Works great for GoPro Black *2014-03-31, version 1.6* I usually process my GoPro Hero 3 Black aerial photographs with Adobe Photoshop or Lighthouse but I do like this app which allows quick removal of the wide angle fish eye distortion with my iPhone. This app fits the bill! ### 5/5 — Cool! *2014-03-13, version 1.5* So glad I found this app. When I want to send a DJI Phantom 2 Vision photo on the fly, this app allows me to correct the lens distortion without even landing first. Awesome. ### 5/5 — Works very well *2014-01-02, version 1.5* This does exactly what I needed, which was to remove fisheye effect from my wide angle fixed lens (non-GoPro). Very easy to use. Once you adjust the settings for your lens, they stay. Load up a photo and it is automatically corrected. You will loose a little bit of your original image, but that is simply the nature and tradeoff of doing this type of image processing. Cropping is done automatically. Your corrected images are then saved to a separate folder. Would be nice to be able to batch process. ### 4/5 — Works as Expected *2015-10-08, version 1.61* Finally found a lens correcting app the works AND saves my images back at full resolution. Contrary to the title, this app is not just for correcting GoPro images like some other apps. I shoot a DSLR that creates 24.2mp images and on occasion end up with barrel distortion in my images. I have three other "lens correcting" apps to fix distortion that do a nice job, but downsample my images to the hardware limitation of 4096 pixels on the long side, yielding only 11.2m. This app fixes my images and saves the results at full resolution, ready to be cropped to remove the now-curved edges. I preference to do that part myself. If the app also fixed parallax/perspective distortion it would rate 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Work nearly as well as Photoshop *2014-04-06* A simple program on the run to share on FB or IG. A star missing because there is no copy or transfer of image to other apps. ### 4/5 — Could be better *2014-03-22, version 1.6* I'll rate this high as it does what it's suppose to do. What would make this even better would be adding these 2 functions. Cropping, and horizon leveling. As of now, you can open your photo album and crop it in there, but it would be nicer if it were built in to the app. Also, you can take the fish eye effect out but the horizon still may be at a 30 degree angle. You can rotate the photo using the 2 finger twist, to level the horizon with the grid, but when you save it, it is still at a 30 degree angle. It doesn't hold for some reason. I still like this app though. ### 2/5 — Only corrects one way! *2015-03-14, version 1.61* My lens results in a horizon curved the other way. This app only makes it worse. Why not make the dial go both directions? ### 2/5 — Unreliable, but good results when successful. *2014-04-21* Ios 7.1 Program Crashes regularly. Specifically whilst saving the corrected image. Managed successful save only around 1 in 4 attempts. Even forces ipad to reset and reboot.. Dissapointed with reliability . However... Results are good when it does work.. Use hq mode and image is extremely close to original quality. Will correct extreme distortion including go pro wide angle and dji phantom2 vision images of 140degrees . Probably the best app out there I've found , but will definately be binned if a more reliable app is found. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
