Perverts *2023-10-28, version 2.3* So… not only I paid to get this accessory, I then found out that it doesn’t work with Bluetooth but with an app that I had to download. I was suspicious and hesitant in the beginning. I thought I’ll give it a try. I downloaded the app, took the first pic, then I wondered how do I delete this from the app? THERE IS NO OPTION TO DELETE IT! What kind of doggy business is this that you’re running? Disgusting! Absolutely no care about privacy, rights, customers. Scammers! ### 5/5 — Accessibility and works great every time! *2019-12-18* Bought the remote a couple years ago for my son. Downloaded this app on his wheelchair mounted iPad. Using Velcro I secured the little remote to his wheelchair’s lap tray. The button wasn’t easy for him, however, with effort & desire he figured a way. Battery life is excellent, the beep when he takes a photo isn’t a problem, it is an asset. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-07-27, version 2.3* Don’t buy! You can’t use it with iPhone 8 plus. Remote it rubbish 🤮 ### 5/5 — Works for iPhone X *2019-04-30* I’ve had this in the box for 3 years before I opened and tried to use it. I thought it was a dud because it wouldn’t turn on but I just had to pop the battery in and out several times then finally got a beep. The beeping is very loud and annoying though. You don’t get any options except for Flash, Grid, Tiger & Reverse camera mode. Not sure if it’s worth the retail $20 but it does what it says so far. ### 5/5 — good app works good with remote *2018-08-07* this app works with the vivitar selfie snap wireless remote. bought it today at micro center for 2 dollars and it works really well. stood about 20-30 feet away and my iphone 8 plus was able to pick up the beep from the remote to take the pic. haven’t tried it where there’s more noise but straight out the box and text d in a living room to the kitchen it works really good. only if it could press record in videos now ### 4/5 — It works surprisingly well *2018-05-25, version 2.3* Remote sends high freq audio beeps and so app needs permission to access the microphone to work. Works at range of at least 5m across room with TV on in background. Cheaper than Bluetooth and no pairing needed. Rubber hook slides off remote to act as primitive phone stand/support. Easy to use and works with my 5s and iOS 11. Cheap & Cheerful and maybe all you need. Fun ! PS. 5* if it did video as well. Thanks to those who mentioned to pull the tab in box to find the instructions. Probably why I got mine for just a quid in a charity store 😋 ### 2/5 — Hmm... why the beeping?? *2018-05-02* It’s a simple app that works the Snap remote. Not yet updated to work with iPhone X so you will have dark banners at top and bottom. I guess you get what you pay for - mine was free. Simple to use but for the life of me I can’t figure out why the remote has to beep every time you take a picture?!?! Absolutely ridiculous beeping! Came with a tripod, phone holder, remote and carry bag. Throw out remote, delete the app and just use the free tripod. ### 5/5 — Great app and remote *2018-03-16, version 2.3* Wow I wasn’t expecting that this would be any good but what a surprise, as long as the remote is switched on and you start the app then you will have no problems and you can use the app even if you forgot your remote, it would be nice to have more stuff added to the app and maybe in the future it will have but all in all it’s still worth the five stars I gave it. :) ### 3/5 — Doesn’t take panoramas on iOS 11 *2017-12-27, version 2.3* The panoramic pod tripod and clockwork rotator that accompanies this app are cheap and cheerful but do the job on smaller phones. Remember to activate Bluetooth and take the battery isolating tab out to make it work. However the app doesn’t appear to support taking panoramas which defeats the object of having a panoramic stand. I’m hoping the developers will fix this soon. I’ll just have to use it from the ordinary camera app. ### 5/5 — Works fine *2017-08-15, version 2.1* Got the remote for a quid in poundworld, tested it, works fine. Remote doesn't need to sync, works with a burst of audio, pretty clever, was expecting to have to mess around with Bluetooth. Make sure you give the app microphone access or it won't work. ## Frequently asked questions about Snap Remote ### What does the Snap Remote app do?
