### 1/5 — Samsung wth

*2026-08-05, version 1.7.20071601*

Samsung were among the first to come out with a 4k 360 camera for consumers. 
The lack of support for their products is such a wasted opportunity that allowed Insta360 and DJI to leapfrog them in one of the hottest spaces in consumer electronics. 
The lack of continuing support is why I no longer buy ANY Samsung products, nor do I recommend them. 

It’s too bad, because once they were innovative and great, but now they’re reduced to building gray market products like those found in Walmart, with warranty and support to match.

### 2/5 — Won’t connect

*2025-06-06, version 1.7.20071601*

When I try to connect it it just keep telling me to connect it again even though it’s already connected and currently it’s not showing many features on the app or any of the photos.

### 2/5 — It’s 2025, still not good.

*2025-04-01, version 1.7.20071601*

App crashes, camera disconnects from iphone constantly, no live view, exporting takes way too long, crashes during exports anyway, and battery on camera barely lasts for any practical use. I’m honestly surprised samsung, of all companies, would release a product like this. However, price explains itself for a budget go-pro.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!

*2024-11-07, version 1.7.20071601*

This app refuses to connect to the camera. I can get my phone to connect to my 360 cam but the phone will not connect to the camera via the app. Total garbage. Will never buy another Samsung product again!! They make junk and kill off their support faster then their products come out. Junk!!

### 1/5 — And I thought the Android app on Samsung phones was bad

*2024-07-24, version 1.7.20071601*

This app is beyond garbage. It’s ADVANCED garbage. The workflow requires connecting and disconnecting from WiFi networks, and even if the workflow was simpler, the app crashes constantly. Ok, I was using this app on an iPhone 6, and it’s old, but so is the app. Samsung, I beg of you to just make it open source, omg, your apps on both Android and iOS are just complete dog doo.

### 1/5 — Camera doesn’t connect to app anymore

*2024-02-29, version 1.7.20071601*

The app used to work, but it doesn’t anymore. 
This app is trash, and I’m glad I don’t have a Samsung phone. If the app is this bad, I cannot imagine how bad their other devices are.

### 1/5 — Force to make open source

*2024-02-17, version 1.7.20071601*

You should make everything open source since you discontinued it it’s not our fault your a garbage company. Also you can’t even livestream to YouTube because of improper google app setup

### 1/5 — Absolut unbrauchbar

*2023-11-27*

Habe die gear 360 seit 2018. Das ein namengafter Hersteller wie Samsung nicht in der Lage/gewillt ist eine funktionierende App für IOS oder MacBook zu liefern ist eine Schande. Somit erstmal mein letztes Samsung Gerät.

### 2/5 — I need last update

*2023-08-21*

I need last update for gear 360 app

### 1/5 — Do not work

*2023-06-27, version 1.7.20071601*

Gear 360 app on IOS iPhone 14 does NOT work connect then you uninstalled good bye
